Because the Dems keep pushing the narrative that Trump is not a legitimate President.

From the right it appears to be a smear campaign. That the left blame everything except their message for their party's woes...for 8 years we have viewed Obama as a dark danger, a real threat to Americans, and to the world. Who except for elitists are better off than they were in 2009? Many see that any gains made were despite Obama, not because of him. Nancy Pelosi blames all the debt added on Obama's watch to George Bush. 47% of all this nation's debt has occurred since Obama took office.

I have been so frustrated that these people that are given the responsibility of doing the people's work have political motives and agendas, and can't seem to get on the same page. Their lack of efficiency and accountability is truly disturbing.

"Who except for elitists are better off than they were in 2009? "

Doc, my answer to that is ME! An over 60 white haired, white guy.............. with not an elite bone in sight.

I'm no democrat (far from it) but I'd sure hate to be seen as an "Trump apologist" a few years from now.

But, ........... carry on.
Several folks seem to relish that role.
Citing hannity as a credible news source/interviewer don't help.................

Hannity is a cheerleader. As bad as Chris Matthews talking about Obama making his leg tingle...

Good for you, Sir.

I don't deny some have been helped, but as many or more are in worse shape. To me that isn't progress.

Progress is never even. Never has been. When our ancestors decided to grow cotton in the name of "progress"/trade/growth---I doubt the black folk "casted" as the "workers" in the field felt that that boat bound for America was progress!

But he has not served a day in office. To say he is a danger is presumptive. To fear is real. So too is optimism. Even Obama has said that Trump won a fair, free election. Give the guy a chance...he stands a better chance of succeeding if the American people support him, rather than stand in his way. We survived 8 years of Obama. We survived 4 years of Jimmy Carter. Dems survived 8 years of W. This won't be the end of the world...

doc..even though i disagree with you i am very impressed by the decency of your difference of opinion....in some small way this thread serves a purpose..it allows for venting and differences in opinion and most of us are showing it can be done intelligently and without rancor.......i sincerely salute you.....salute

It will be interesting to see what becomes of Comey. He may be pressured into resigning. He currently lacks the confidence of both sides of the aisle.

I think most want to know the truth of the hacking. In time it will probably come to light. Is a shame if it was indeed leaked by our own intelligence community. Is not their place to meddle in politics. There will be heads rolling if that is the case.

yes...it is so unfortunate that he did what he did.....i think he burned out and his judgement became fried.

Remember that the Russians are very skilled at disinformation and propaganda. And that Hillary was likely Putin's target. She made him look bad when she spouted off about his election being rigged. That Trump could have just been the recipient of their efforts to smear her, rather than a concerted effort to aid Trump. That is a real possibility.
