TyrantWD posted:The healthcare plan is not helping his caucus. It's doing the opposite. It had a 17% approval before they made it worse to get the HFC on board. Ryan spent his entire time as speaker telling anyone who would listen to go to the GOP website to see his amazing healthcare plan that would provide better healthcare to more people for less money, so while a lot of Republicans may be waiting for the Obamacare repeal, I don't think they are eager about replacing it with something worse, that even harms their employer-based plans. I know that. Hence the token $2m advertising, to try to make it seem like he's helping them.

I would be okay with the remainder of Joe Lieberman's days being filled with people publicly stating they were interested in offering him a prestigious position, and then pulling the rug out a week later.

Hieronymous Alloy posted:I think they were in the "should have known" category. McConnell and Ryan had enough evidence -- hell, us posting here -- had enough evidence pre-election to strongly suspect Trump had Russian ties. But if you don't WANT to believe it, you aren't going to, and they had every reason to not want to. They were literally given the evidence by the Obama Administration and McConnell told Obama if he went public with it McConnell would claim he was trying to interfere in the election.

They're going to end up finding some bureaucrat whom nobody has ever heard of, who has served quietly and competently throughout his or her career, and who (after significant vetting) will be determined to be someone completely loyal to the concept of Trumpism and also blissfully unaware that they are anything but a patsy. Basically someone to sit in the seat and nod whenever Trump asks a question.

Al Borland Corp. posted:Why didn't Obama say "gently caress you McConnell you would claim that anyway, this is real" A.) he couldn't release the evidence because it was classified. Obama could have declassified it, but that would have led to B.) republicans screaming he was trying to influence the election. Remember, every decision prior to Tuesday, November 7th 2016 was made based on the assumption that hillary was going to win.

Basically someone to sit in the seat and nod whenever Trump asks a question. I don't think that person exists anymore. He or she might have a few months ago but now it's really clear that playing ball with Trump wins you nothing and the risk is gigantic, especially if you aren't a big name that is already established and has a fall back plan. They are going to try and get a true believer in there and hope that the congressional Republicans go along with it. That or get someone actually decent for the job and hope that congress can stymie any investigations long enough to scoot away.

I live in CT and it seems like literally everyone in the state despises him. Being a center-right Democrat from New England who has no deep personal convictions of his own beyond his own massive ego, while also having the same amount of charisma as a block of Velveeta and being well-known for stabbing his own party in the back as long as it earns him some time in the national spotlight. Frequently invited by the GOP to speak at their events because he's "one of the good ones".

Lieberman also works for Kasowitz's firm, so as soon as Trump wanted to hire Kasowitz Lieberman would be conflicted out of dealing with the investigation full stop.
