either politicians or voters. The media should be reporting his craziness all day long.

Trump had gigantic scandals almost every day from the day he started his run for president about 4 years ago. But, most of them were forgotten when the next daily scandal or outrage came up, and certainly were distant memories in a week and ancient history in 2 weeks.

So, when it came down to election day 2016, the hundreds of Trump scandals and outrageous BS were given equal footing to Hillary's one scandal, which was the fake email scandal.

Trump focused almost solely on "Crooked Hillary" and emails. Democrats hit back on almost every Trump scandal, but the scandals were so big and so all over the board that there was a lack of focus on an overriding theme.

it means they know what they have to do, and means Trump's peak days of influence and rabble-rousing are in the past. Election 2020 is the way to eject Trump, Impeachment inquiries will seed the turf. With a Senate beholden to the NRA, booting them all out at the ballot box is the way to go!

should be outraged, reading about how Lapierre is living large off their donations. Just like televangelists do, yet their donors still keep giving. How can grifters such as these two fool anyone with two brain cells?
