Members marceline Posted January 24, 2017 Members Share Posted January 24, 2017 The good thing is that now these shifty tactics of his are out in the spotlight. He made it through the primary with no one holding him responsible for bad votes, his call to primary Obama, his willingness to sabotage out of political purity, etc...but now that he helped bring us here he will never enjoy that kind of honeymoon again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JaneAusten Posted January 24, 2017 Members Share Posted January 24, 2017 (edited) At least do it the way Schumer is. I am no Schumer fan but at least the democrats are heading off the infrastructure issue by releasing their own bill tomorrow. And it's smart because it's something they know the GOP has no interest in but Trump has peddled for. Now Trump wants to privatize and such but if that can be pushed aside to an extent at least we might get something bearable. Bernie just says "he'll work with Trump" with no trade plan published of his own or on the table.

Members DramatistDreamer Posted January 24, 2017 Members Share Posted January 24, 2017 By the way, The WH announced that they fully intend to go ahead with the Dakota Access Pipeline. Add environmental degradation to the growing list. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JaneAusten Posted January 24, 2017 Members Share Posted January 24, 2017 We Hillary supporters saw it but I think more are and certainly the democratic party itself knows it. I was originally kind of pissed at Schumer for seeing him buddying up to Sanders but I now realize he's using him because he knows at least right now Sanders has a following. I think he's going to use him until the DNC gets their act in order and someone else starts stepping to the front. Booker is already I think making inroads and a couple of others are going to gain cross country exposure and support as well. Once that happens, Bernie will be pushed off to the side. Yeah but honestly I do think even if Obama were still in or Hillary got in it would have moved forward. Not this quickly perhaps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted January 24, 2017 Members Share Posted January 24, 2017 Plus Bernie's up for re-election in 2018. I know that Al Giordano has discussed a primary challenge. If that happens I think you'll see some Dems help out in the background. I know that I'll throw money at the guy. Maybe if Bernie has to focus on Vermont, he'll have less time to screw over the country. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DramatistDreamer Posted January 24, 2017 Members Share Posted January 24, 2017 Which makes me ask again, when is Trump going to divest himself of his businesses? Giving control to his sons is not the same thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members marceline Posted January 24, 2017 Members Share Posted January 24, 2017 He can get away with it because the Republicans in Congress are every bit as corrupt as he is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted January 24, 2017 Members Share Posted January 24, 2017 As long as Trump is there to help push their cray agendas, Congressional Republicans have no intention of investigating any conflicts of interest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sivad40 Posted January 24, 2017 Members Share Posted January 24, 2017 I remember when W was president and some people were saying at least Nixon, Reagan, and GHWB wasn't THAT bad compared to him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
