Ranting Trump whines about how many favors it took to buy votes for health care repeal

Donald Trump hijacked a rally for Alabama senatorial candidate Luther Strange to whine about the schmoozing he had to do to get votes for the GOP's heartless health care repeal.




Donald Trump wanted to win the presidency, but it really seems like he didn’t actually want to be president.

He’d much rather spend time golfing and jetting off on luxury vacations on the taxpayers’ dime.

Oh, but it’s okay, because apparently he’s “crushing it.” That is, if “crushing it” means setting historic lows for approval ratings.

Considering his preference for mingling and relaxing, one would think Trump might enjoy the idea of having dinners with members of Congress. But according to him, that’s not enjoyable — it’s “brutality.”

1. I surely wish he would have a stroke and we wouldn't

have to deal with his crazy, dangerous BS anymore. He is causing this country such anxiety and harm. It is exhausting to be an alert and rational citizen for the past 9 months.

2. I have said the same thing.

I wish he would stroke out on live TV.

I can't stand this EVIL LYING piece of shit.

That is how I feel about all Republican politicians.

They are EVIL LIARS.

They have destroyed this country.

8. If the public knew in advance he would finally get his much

desired "highest ratings in the world ever". He REALLY could get his wish for the crowds on the Mall in DC to be bigger than Obama's ...at his funeral. It would be "the biggest PARTY in the World ever!" It would be bigger than the "Liberation of France" or the "First Man to Walk on the Moon" crowds put together.

3. I know your health is much more precarious

than mine, but it is taking a toll on me. It is taking a toll on many people around me, too. We are mentally and physically weakened by this monster and all the monsters he surrounds himself with.

He wants that, though. That is how people like 45 wear down their opposition. Those of us who can do it need to be strong and keep fighting him.

4. Boy, Rump's speech at that rally is generating separate articles on a bunch of subjects,

such as this one. He was in especially fine form. I loved that he was there to endorse Strange but explained in the middle of his speech that maybe he's made a mistake. He's interfering in a Republican primary (!), and apparently he now realizes it'll look bad for him if Strange loses. (Also if he wins, Mr. Rump.)

Ranting about NFL players kneeling during the National Anthem and calling them sons of bitches not so funny.

5. The gop covered

for Reagan when he suffered with Alzheimers. Now they are covering for this monstrosity, tRump with MENTAL illness. What are they thinking? Between the Russians and the Koch brothers, this country is going down the tubes - BIGLY. The gop does not seem to be concerned that their party is represented by the biggest fool on the national stage. EVERYONE knows he is a clown, low intelligence, no class, no "polish" whatsoever. My hope is that people will FINALLY wake up to what the gop really stands for - money and rich people. Grease their palms, and they will sell this country to anyone. Well, seems that they have. The best part is that they have chosen the biggest assh*** EVER to represent them. He is a worldwide joke.

6. Tragically true. GOP leadership serves and is controlled by the very wealthy these days.

But their GOP voters main ideology is simply being against Democrats. In this whole miserable mess, their voters are very still sure of that. Just don't ask any to produce two honest, knowledgeable sentences explaining why that could stand up to fact checking.

To a very large degree, though, both the Tea Party and Rump movements show that many have "woken up" to the fact that their party leadership has become their enemy (just not as big an enemy as us). Those were actually failed rebellions against the party. They're so soaked in the Kool-Aid, though, that they had no idea the TP was conceived, created, funded, and directed by the very people they were rebelling against to turn them into a weapon -- against both us and themselves -- or that those same ultrawealthy enemies have now filled Rump's administration with their agents.

I no longer expect most to ever realize that the ideology gap between us is far, far smaller than they've been deluded into thinking. They're too invested in it. However, we don't need most. Just 5% fewer of them coming out to vote and 5% more previously nonvoter liberals showing up in 2018 and 2020 would change everything.

And the GOP leadership is very aware that what their extremist funders are requiring them to do may well make that happen.
