If returns are leaked that show there were years that he didn't pay any taxes it would be hard for anyone to ignore. Had MSNBC sat on this story, someone would have found out and it really would have supported Trump's paranoia about the media being out to get him. There really was no choice but to report this. That said, nothing really damning is going to be released so far away from an election. If someone does have the goods, they won't spill it too early.

A fairly tame tax return being released lends legitimacy to Trump detractors, because it lessens the chances of Republicans being able to claim that possible leaks in the future are not legitimate. This leaves very little room for anyone to claim unfairness towards Trump and that is what the opposition needs, an image of being a strong opposition, but one based in reality. Had more right-leaning sources been able to frame this out of the gate, it would have benefited Trump. We all want Trump to be held accountable, but to get to that point everything has to be done on the level.

This is exactly right.

Steve King has been the most racist member of Congress for years. He is truly terrible. Kellyanne Conway throws out a lot of conspiracy nonsense that the core base of the far-right will buy.

That person looks like a gay caterer that shows up at the party making smart remarks about the guests.

The fine was part of the mandate that made eliminating pre-existing conditions as a barrier for insurance possible. Without it, there was no way to force insurance companies to stop denying insurance to people with pre-existing conditions.

What's he going to do? Throw anyone who disagrees with him down the lane into the pins like a bowling ball?

Maybe not. Being a Republican in a blue state with Trump as President will be a major drag on every blue state Republican. In 2006, Lincoln Chafee lost his Senate seat in Rhode Island, despite having high approvals. What did him and several other blue state Republicans in was Bush's low approval. 2018 could be just like 2006.

Priebus is going to end up a scapegoat for Trump's errors and missteps, at least as far as what happens in day to day operations. This could be an opening for Conway to take much of the fall for collusion with the Kremlin. It's gotten to the point where Trump needs to find someone to blame and Conway was the campaign manager after all.

No one in my family supports Trump and that is a relief.

Anyone expecting substance from Trump is truly a sucker.

No ethics training would allow for breaking the rules and then claiming ignorance. Ignorance isn't a good excuse legally, but this is Trump's team we are talking about and there is a very small depth of knowledge among the group.

Pence would be a placeholder like Gerald Ford and probably wouldn't even win the 2020 primary. His career is at it's end and he'd be happy to just have the title for a few years. If he isn't maneuvering behind Trump's back, it would be quite surprising.

Blake was toned down after the first season, because he was a nightmare. Granted, he was still not that accepting of Steven, but nevertheless he was toned down. There is no way that Blake in the reboot will be portrayed anything like he was in season one. As for the casting, that's not a great choice.

All the tricks in the world won't work, too many people are angry and all of them can't be kicked off the voter rolls. There are some seriously apathetic people who have become engaged now and they will show up to the polls.

The problem is that Congress is unwilling to intervene. Sessions did indeed lie to the Senate, but it doesn't matter unless the Republican leadership holds him accountable.

There is certainly doubling down, but there is also plenty of anger out there. Republicans skipping town halls is proof of that. There will be enough backlash to overcome that.

At this point the overall political climate is going to do a lot of work for the Democrats and that is how it played out under Bush. Democrats took control of Congress in 2006 because Bush's approvals were low. Lots of those Trump voters are going to be voting Democratic in 2018 after they have learned their lesson the hard way and they won't be supporting him again in 2020. Politics is about 40% cause and effect, so pretty much all Democrats have to do is be prepared to take advantage of the coming wave in 2018.

Trump is a bully that hates being responded to at all. He is his own worst enemy and the key is to get him to damage himself.

After the issue with the White House wanting the FBI to falsely refute reports about the campaigns links to Russia, it seems likely that there is something solid there that the administration doesn't want found. Plus, there is the fact that certain media outlets have been banned from the White House.

Nobody on Dynasty was as screwed up as anyone in the Trump Family.

If subsidies are cut, that really will hurt a lot people and increase insured rates again. This replacement is garbage.

DNC Chair is a tactical position more than anything else and it does take someone with some establishment experience to be chair.

This will surely be turned into a miniseries in the future. It would require little work from writers.

Trump is practically giving Pence the keys to the Oval. Pence knows that this is the only way that he can be President, so you can bet that he's maneuvering for a possible resignation or removal.
