This is going to have donnie spitting nails. As if the fact Comey wrote a book wasn't enough to do that (book drops 4/17).

Is this just a PR event to spur sales of his book? A lot of people are going to profit from Trump's pResidency. I got mixed feelings about the profiting from Trump's demise. Especially while Trump is still getting away with crap on a day to day basis. I'd like to see Comey help deliver a knock out punch to Trump. But I'm also suspect of the timing of this CNN event and his book debut.

He'll probably generate a lot of sales and make a bunch of money - and Trump will just tweet that all of this is just fake news and a conspiracy to remove Trump from the presidency.

Do you think we'll actually learn anything new from Comey at this Town Hall? I'm sure every little fact can help in sinking Trump - but I won't be satisfied until Mueller issues his report which takes in all the facts from all the people involved in this mess.

I'm rambling now - but I'm just frustrated that Trump keeps on getting away with whatever crap he springs on the American People. The MSM seems to be giving him a pass on everything.

Just a while ago - the MSM was making an issue of Trump's tweets. Now the same MSM is making an issue of the fact that he is not tweeting as much and has gone silent.

All I know is that this Nov 2018 election needs to have record turnout by the Dems. Before Nov - the Dems need to point out all that Trump has done to undo years of legislation to protect the American People including environmental, financial, meteorological, immigration related, gun control, etc.

The Dems need to touch on all those issues to hit a nerve in voters to come out - even if it is only because of one issue that touches them. Without record turnout - I don't know if we'll experience a
'blue tsunami' or even a 'blue wave'.

The Repugs have done a great job of suppressing votes and gerrymandering districts - and along with their stealing of votes and Russian help - if we don't turn out in record numbers - the Repugs will retain their control.

What gets me is that no matter how bad things seem to look for the Repugs - I really don't see that many of them are getting all that concerned that they might lose their power in 2018.

Remember we can't just make the Nov election about Trump. He is not running for office. We have to direct our efforts on the Repug Party and how they have just taken advantage of Trump's lack of political knowledge to use Trump to their advantage.

The Dems must make a tremendous effort to GOTV and they should be starting to do that now and not wait until we get too close to the Nov election.

tRumputin voters/supporters only?

And, will the next Town Hall after this CNN Comey one be for tRump voters/supporters only as well?


I mean, because it's ONLY about what THEY think and feel about any given subject.


ALL EYES ON THEM ALWAYS
