No we fucking don't.
Success for Drumpf means turning us into a banana republic.

(5,730 posts)person w good policies, who valued the good of our country, then, yes. (I think that is what Anderson means). Its not like I dont want him to succeed because we didnt win (and they cheated again).
Look at him, do you think after 70 years, he is going to have a complete change of who he is. Get real!
Just look at what he's done since being in office
He is Fuckin, nutzo crazy. He is destroying people and the world already. It is going to get worse, faster and faster. Do you want him to succeed at that?

Trump. I wonder if Trump is paying him.
That is no excuse though. Especially for Matthews or Cooper
And I am not saying that I know anything because I don't. It is just a guess at why they are acting this way

(429 posts)If you want him to succeed Anderson, not only will voting rights and women's rights be in the cross-hairs, but so will your LGBT rights. If we do not break the monopoly that 6 corporations have on what 300 million people see, hear, and read, there is no way we can have a thriving democracy. It was these 6 corporations that made billions from propagating Trump as a qualified candidate for the presidency. He could not have won the Republican primary or the election without the Mainstream Media. They more than any entity are responsible for the mess this country is in. These are the same people that ignored stolen elections, cheer-lead illegal wars, and allowed GWB to destroy the economy. We do not have a responsible Fourth Estate. We have a Fifth Column.
Anderson is indicative of the millionaire mediocre spokes-morons that pollute our airwaves. He is what you get when 6 corporations control the entire media landscape. Go to hell Anderson! Go to hell CNN! Go to hell Time Warner!

(11,589 posts)Most Americans with a functioning brain knew he was going to fuck this up on a colossal scale.
Most Americans want the executive office to succeed.
It doesn;t matter if we want him to succeed -- he has made it clear he gives no fucks about the opinions of most of us.
This is a disaster and I think Cooper knows that.
I want him to leave the office he sits in. That would be a success.

(6,169 posts)I hate this stupid idea that we have to hope for our politicians to "succeed".
Do we want our polticians to succeed, as in improve the lives of our citizens and our standing in the world? Of course. Do we want them to succeed in implementing ill-conceived policies that DO NOT do that? Of course not.
