Trump's listening "session" about Gorsuch w/ 10 senators turns into "voter fraud" rant

[Miles Archer]

On Thursday, during a meeting with 10 senators that was billed as a listening session about Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch, the president went off on a familiar tangent, suggesting again that he was a victim of widespread voter fraud despite the fact that he won the presidential election.

As soon as the door closed and the reporters allowed to observe for a few minutes had been ushered out, Trump began to talk about the election, participants said, triggered by the presence of former New Hampshire Sen. Kelly Ayotte, who lost her reelection bid in November and is now working for Trump as a Capitol Hill liaison, or “Sherpa,” on the Supreme Court nomination of Judge Neil Gorsuch.

The president claimed that he and Ayotte both would have been victorious in the Granite State if not for the “thousands” people who were “brought in on buses” from neighboring Massachusetts to “illegally” vote in New Hampshire.

According to one participant who described the meeting, “an uncomfortable silence” momentarily overtook the room.

1. When this happens, do the Senators nod sagely, or just look down at their iPhones?

2. If they weren't spineless whimps they

would call him out every time he spews delusional bs. Do they not understand they will go down with him?

3. What an asshole

He simply can't accept that everyone doesn't think he's as great as he thinks he is.

[mreilly]

4. Yep, it's pathetic

He whines. He cries. He acts like a child. He lies. He's incompetent. He's an admitted sexual assaulter. He's admitted to not paying taxes, won't show us his tax returns, and his own wife appears to despise him. He appoints incompetent assholes for positions they're not qualified for any it turns out they "paid to play." He bans Muslim refugees from countries other than the ones he does business with. He doesn't know what the hell he's doing. There are massive protests against him. His popularity rating is in the toilet. Everyone around the world is laughing at him.

Oh, but all this negativity and abysmally low opinions of him are all fake; everyone really thinks he's great and so wonderful and so Presidential, in his fevered, little infected excuse for a mind.

5. Republicans are FAILing America with gross negligence

Shame on them for pretending "everything is just fine." Shame.

6. He is never, ever going to stop talking about that.

7. The psychopath finds another captive audience to whine at.

He should call Putin and get another pep talk to make him feel better.

8. JFC. What a pathetic facade of a human being he is. Truly.

Humpty-freakin' Dumpty; in the oval office.
