This a.m.'s enlightening WH tweet: Donald J Trump @realDonald Trump: Don't let the fake media tell you that I have changed my position on the WALL. It will get built and help stop drugs, human trafficking etc.

So beginning day one he was going to build a yuge wall all along the Mex border to keep illegals out, and Mexico was going to pay for the whole thing.

Now...it'll be a wall but in KEY areas, and maybe it'll start next fall, and maybe Mexico will pay for some of it but taxpayers need to plunk down the downpayment. And it's new main purpose is to stop the ..um ..drug traffic.

Stop drugs. Jesus.

Stocks are rallying, Nasdaq breaks 6,000 for the first time

[Professor Tiger]

Tax cuts coming...

[bluetick]

lol Every time I mentioned a new stock market milestone the last 8 years, I was met with " oh yeah, check out the federal debt" and "doesn't matter to people outta work" and "it's all smoke and mirrors propped up by China."

Hey, it's all good. Happy to see new investors and their newfound joy wrt positive index numbers.

[Toemeesleather]

Said none of that....I said "QE".....which it was.

Don't forget that they are also racistsexisthomophobictransphobicclmatedeniers.

yeah, that too.

[Professor Tiger]

That's a great way to get the other half of America to vote Democrat.

[hedge]

We've already got more than half, if you believe the popular vote numbers. All we need are a few more in a few specific states. I'm thinking that's not going to be a difficult task based on what I've seen in the first hundred days of Trump's administration...

[Professor Tiger]

The poll said Trump would beat Hillary in the popular vote by 3 today. So I wouldn't say the Dem's have a reliable majority of the popular vote. I think it's around 45% reliably R, 45% reliably D, and the rest can go either way, depending on the election and the two candidates at the time: Last election, the Dem's lost because they ran an unlikeable candidate with more baggage than an airline. The GOP won not because they ran an orange blowhard, but because at least he was attractive to somebody.

[Toemeesleather]

Also, Michigan, Penn, Iowa, Wisconsin, Ohio et al.....joined in the repudiatation of Obammer.

[hedge]

Yeah, the electorate loves to repudiate. Trump and his supporters would do well to remember that...

Dems suffer more Hillaryitis than anybody ffs. How about a poll with Joe Biden vs Trump? Uncle Joe would kick the Big Cheetos ass, by God.

[Professor Tiger]

Hillary will probably run again in 2020. If not her, then Chelsea. If that happens, Chelsea would be the favorite to win the nomination. She's a Clinton, and she would be the only candidate under 75.

Maybe they'll also bring Bob Shrum out of retirement to run the campaign. Nine could be the charm for him.

Pocahontas Warren will win the dem nomination in 2020. And she will get butchered in the general election. Trump in a walk.

[Professor Tiger]

Warren will be 71 in 2020. That makes her the Selena Gomez of the Democrats.

Don't count out Hillary 3.0 or Chelsea. They're Clintons, and they have an eerie ability to do the Jedi mind trick on the Democrat Party.

"I am the candidate you're looking for. Move along."

[bluetick]

heh Must not be a lot going on, what with all this Hillary 2020 speculation.

2020, lawd hab mussy...that could be 3 wars and an interim prez from now.

Yup. Flynn is in deep doo-doo for taking foreign money as a retired military officer, and failing to disclose it to anybody, including to Trump when he applied for a job. I'm not sure how this hurts Trump, so far.

You said it yourself - he's already in deep shit. Merely confirming what's already a given isn't going to give him the immunity he craves. He's going to have to roll over on somebody, wouldn't you agree?

I would have had Flynn way down the list of immunity candidates, seeing as how he appears to be a 'fall-on-your-sword military type.' (plus his views on immunity seekers are so well known, heh). Manafort will probably hold out to the bitter end, as least. Carter Paige otoh - that pussy would give up his own mama, in a heartbeat.

Ah well. It just takes one domino to get the show rolling.
