Blunt: Trump following campaign promises 'more important' than misstatements

[alp227]

Source: CNN

Missouri GOP Sen. Roy Blunt said Sunday that President Donald Trump's efforts to enact the agenda he campaigned on are more important than falsehoods he utters to the public.

"The more important thing, I would suggest, is doing what you say you're going to do when you're elected president," Blunt said on CNN's "State of the Union."

Blunt also defended Trump by saying he makes himself available regularly to the press and answers impromptu questions, for example, while en route to Air Force One -- despite Trump not holding a full solo press conference in more than a year.

"The way the President communicates, whether he intends to mislead people or just doesn't have all the facts in his mind at the time, he is very accessible to the press," Blunt said.

1. In plain English..."The Republican Party is the party of campaign promises and lies"

[Iliyah]

2. Were there any Democrats on Sunday????

Seems like these news show always have a bunch of lying Republicans on.

3. the "family values" crowd making excuses for a sociopath...

[CatMor]

4. Republicans don't care that he's a liar, cheat, con man and racist....

as long as he cut taxes for the rich.

[Jedi Guy]

14. Reminds me of that old saying...

"Sure he's an asshole, but he's our asshole."

[CatMor]

20. True enough......its obvious that is the way they think...

having morals means nothing to them.

[kairos12]

6. Another Putin boot-licker.

[keithbvadu2]

7. Like Dotard's promise to release his taxes?

[quartz007]

16. Has IRS finished his tax audit yet?

Rump has said he can't release his taxes until the audit is done or something.

[Cha]

22. Yeah, like the promise to release his TAX RETURNS.

Oh and "misstatements".. are LIES.

[msongs]

8. because the christian religion has no commandments against lying, cheating, stealing and

serial adultery I guess

[dalton99a]

9. "I could stand in the middle of 5th Ave. and shoot Republican governors and I wouldn't lose voters"

[Roy Rolling]

10. Promises Kept?

1. Massive Tax Cuts for Wealthy

Promises Not Kept
1. "Better health insurance at a cheaper price"
2. A stupid fucking wall
3. Anything he said "from day one..."
4. ...or "within the first 30 days..."
5. "Melania, I promise I will remain faithful and not bang a porn star. Or two or three..."
6. "If you invest in my casinos, you will make money."
7. "Winning"

[jmowreader]

11. If Melania believed number 5 she is dumber than she looks

Ivana threw him out for not only banging Marla Maples repeatedly, but for bringing her along on a family vacation that Ivana was also on.

So, he married Marla Maples...who threw him out for screwing Melania Knauss repeatedly.

He therefore married Melania...

When Donald Trump walks into your house, your fish stop swimming, your dog goes into hiding and your cat applies for political asylum at a pit bull farm. If Melania really believed Trump wasn't going to stop trying to screw every woman who's stupid enough to get within 100 feet of him, there's something seriously wrong with her.

[Jedi Guy]

15. I don't think she cares, honestly.

I think she's in it for the money. So long as she keeps her luxurious lifestyle, I don't think she cares if he screws a watermelon. Money is a fantastic memory eraser.

[quartz007]

17. BINGO!!! You are astute mr Jedi Guy

[Jedi Guy]

31. Thank you kindly!

I kinda feel bad for her in a way. She never signed up to be a President's wife. IQ45 flipped the script on her and now she's stuck.

[SergeStorms]

25. Yep, the poor immigrant girl.....

comes to America (illegally, I might add) and because of her face and body (both surgically augmented) lands a rich American (or so she thinks) and the rest is history. She traded her body, mind, honesty, integrity..... everything for a taste of the "good life". If that's the "good life", you can keep it. At least I can look in the mirror every morning and recognize the person I see, and be proud I didn't sacrifice every good and honest thing I have for filthy lucre and a loveless marriage to someone who could well be the most vile pig on the planet. But if she's happy, more power to her.

[busterbrown]

26. Spot on!

"For the taste of the good life"!

[Scarsdale]

27. Just look at her,

proof positive that money can not buy happiness. She looks miserable as hell, as though she is on death row. Probably thought he would have croaked long ago. Too bad for us all that he is still here, destroying the happiness of the rest of us.

[Jedi Guy]

30. I think she never wanted him to be President.

When he was a media blowhard and reality TV star, she could sit on the couch in her penthouse all day and then jet off to the Riviera if the mood struck her. She had zero responsibilities. The nanny will look after the children (and I don't just mean Barron; I don't think the older Trump boys can tie their shoes yet).

But now? Oh dear, she's the FLOTUS and things are expected of her. She has to do things other than hang on his arm and look pretty? This isn't what she signed up for.

That's why she looks utterly miserable, I think. His misbegotten ambition robbed her of her pampered lifestyle, not to mention the daily humiliation of the news cycle.

She's probably praying for a bullet to end it all, and I don't mean one aimed at her. Probably got her mourning dress all picked out, fitted, and ready to go.

[Jedi Guy]

32. I think she's utterly miserable.

I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to learn that she's hoping for a bullet to end her suffering. I don't mean one aimed at her, though.

35. Melania is polling much higher than her husband

http://www.time.com/5268088/melania-trump-poll-approval-favorable/

[SergeStorms]

36. That's because.....

she rarely opens her mouth (unlike her hubby, who can't close his) and she doesn't really do anything. It looks like she's getting a little more involved now, but who knows how involved she'll really be. I'm sure Little Donnie wants to keep her on a very short leash, and I mean that literally. If it weren't for the negative optics, I'm sure he'd keep her on a collar and leash 24/7. Most republicans wouldn't mind that, not even most of the republican women, but the rest of the world would really frown on that.

[beachbum bob]

12. Trump promised to scrap govt and appt shit judges...

To conservatives, the end justifies the means and why elections have consequences. We must exert our will November 2018 and 2020

[weissmam]

13. well that a load of

Shit

so pay absolutely no attention to what he says because he is a puppet

[Rebl2]

18. They can no

longer say they are the party of Christian and family values, or rule of law. They seem to be the party of lie, lie, lie to get your way and mislead the masses.

[Glorfindel]

19. Yes, they can. Of course they can.

It never was true. Why should the passage of time make any difference? A lie, is a lie, is a lie.

[The Genealogist]

21. Blunt is another Dotard ass kisser

He was my house rep before he became senator. Never could stand him, and he keeps getting worse.

[Crash2Parties]

23. So, he's referring to the promised racism, sexism, ableism and the rest, then?

[joshdawg]

24. These effin' republicans simply cannot help themselves.

They ALL lie as easy as breathing.

As far as trump and his entire "administration", LOCK'EM UP!

28. "Missouri GOP Sen. Roy Blunt said Sunday that President Donald Trump's efforts to enact the agenda

November 2018 cannot get here fast enough

[logosoco]

29. I am a big believer in the saying

"It's not what you say, it's what you do" EXCEPT lying is doing something. And it is doing something that is VERY wrong. And anyone, especially one who holds the job of keeping another job in check, should never, ever act like or say it is okay to lie. Especially when it is the government speaking to the people. They don't like the people to lie to them.

[The Mouth]

33. We damned well could have used more of that attitude

supporting President Obama.

I'm not looking for perfect, and I'm not voting for a saint. I'm voting for someone who will do what they say they're going to and *FUCK* anyone or anything in the way.

[struggle4progress]

34. "I'm not going to have time to go play golf. Believe me!"

The important thing is he's doing what he said he wasn't going to do when elected president!
