I don't want to get into a huge debate about why Trump won so I'll just summarize my thoughts: Russia didn't win the election for Trump; Trump won the election by being the perfect candidate for 2016.

Opportunistic? Lucky? Probably a bit of both, but either way he's got a branch of the government. Barron will never struggle in his life, and Barron's kids will never struggle in their lives, regardless of how much fortune Donald Trump squandered.

They won at the game of life, is all I'm saying. Someone hits the lotto it's definitely 100% luck, but you'd still say they won the lotto.

I've posted a few times about Trump's communication and audience awareness. Either by pure dumb loving accident or calculated, he says what a large chunk of people want to hear.

Wrong. This is clearly republican vs democrat. The Russians know the GOP has the best interest of democracy in mind.

Vice News did a nice piece on the Mueller investigative team. Bottom line is that they are the the Dream Team and on Trump's side he has no one who compares at all to even one member of the Mueller squad.

Also Comey and Mueller didn't know about Don Jr's meetings or emails.

Is there any particular reason to play dumb? Like staying that they were aware would allude to their capabilities.

It's best to leave what the team can reach be a mystery.

I'm getting the impression that this Fake News tactic is losing steam as Trump cannot discredit every story. Journalists are doing too well at backing up these big stories.

Congress passed sanctions against Russia for election meddling and other poo poo.

So we're at the point where the GOP-led Congress admits Russia hosed with the election.
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/22/us/politics/congress-sanctions-russia.html?smprod=nytcore-iphone&smid=nytcore-iphone-share

Trump has two options: veto like a bitch or sign and deal with Putin's reaction, whatever that might be.

The more I read about the Congressional sanctions package, it sounds a like like the effect is to see if/why Trump vetoes it moreso than the actual sanctions. They're giving him an easy way to score some anti-Russia points. The sanctions also contain some Iran and NK measures too.

Im amazed that the 4 (5?) current senators that had the ambition to run for president against trump, none have seized the opportunity to be the symbol of leadership against him.

There will almost certainly be a primary challenge if he makes it to 2020, and none of them want free media coverage? I don't buy it. There is such sort of arrangement keeping Rubio and fat Dracula from saying anything

They didn't say anything republican voters wanted to hear.

Or was it the women that were becoming infertile? I don't remember. I can't watch that show without getting irrationally angry and it's been a long time since I read the book.

Yea men were sterile but blamed it on women.

Very simply, the President & the White House knows where their policy positions are at all times. The President and his staff knows this because they know where Obama's positions were not. By subtracting where their policy's are from where Obama's were not, or where Obama was from where they are(whichever is greater), it obtains a press release, or tweet. The President uses tweets to generate commands to drive the GOP from a policy position where it is to a policy position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is.

I would have rather served with trans people than any drunks. They're far more of a liability than someone who needs to duck out for medical appointments regularly.
