CHI-na!

a) Why on Earth would you believe Trump? He lies without thought, on impulse.

b) Her email server never had much classified material.

c) If it had had a lot of classified email, he should not be announcing it gleefully on Twitter - it's like giving them even more information. But playing "Gotcha!" games is what he does, more than anything but lying.

He lives to keep score (when he's winning).

Kind of like some people here I know.

a) The Liar-in-Chief claims to have gotten rid of the law that forbids churches and charitible organizations from endorsing candidates. The law is still on the books.

b) He threatened them and in so doing threatened all of us: he promised violence if the GOP lost in November. And he claimed that the evangelicals were 'one election from losing everything.'

Demagoguery.

Lies, damned lies, and lies about statistics that he doesn't understand.

The way his transparent self-interest stands out against his perfectly universal shallowness is the entirety of his appeal as a human being.

This is a very high profile dementia awareness program the republicans are running. I don’t think it will win them many seats.

The “President’s” source on this is The Daily Caller.

Let that sink in a sec.

Demagoguery.

They are desperate to keep the House lest the gravy train stop, and Congress retain the oversight role of the Executive that Ryan and McConnell have handicapped.

And to do that, demagoguery is all they have left. That there “President” would say something like this is not surprising. That people are not up in arms about it, including members of the GOP, is worrisome.

And it’s not just the “President” who is attacking loyal Americans:

Speaker Ryan’s PAC is trying to link a Democratic Congressional candidate to terrorism because she briefly taught English at an Islamic school in suburban Washington while waiting for the security clearance she received to become a counter-terrorism agent for the CIA

https://mobile.twitter.com/JohnJHarwood/status/1034644785326436354

The source of those unredacted documents Ryan’s PAC used to make this claim, btw, is a really important question:

Looks like Sheriff Joe isn't going to Washington.  He can stay home and eat expired canned food and live in a tent.

Hope AZ is ready for some Sinema vérité. 

I'd offer to let her use that in her campaign, but it would probably just come off elite liberal pretentious to wavering independents.


"Sinema Paradiso," however....

News Item

Democrat Andrew Gillum rode a surge of liberal support from young people and African Americans to a stunning primary victory Tuesday and the historic opportunity to be the first black governor in Florida’s history.
With 94 percent of the votes counted, Gillum had an unofficial 3 percentage point lead over his closest rival, former U.S. Rep. Gwen Graham. Gillum overwhelmed Graham in Miami-Dade and Broward, the state’s two largest Democratic counties, by more than a 2-to-1 margin, in the highest turnout for a midterm primary election in Florida history.

What the hell good is a voter ID law if this is allowed to happen.?

LOL

I don't recall seeing that Florida has enacted strict Photo ID laws.  Not that the state doesn't have other problems.

Even so, your post is reminiscent of Inhofe's snowball, a guy who also needs to understand the meaning of the word "despite." 

Democratic voters are energized during this mid-term season maybe like never before.  That says zero about the state's voter ID requirements.
