I am wondering if Trump ever actually wanted the job - how does a multi-billionaire that close in the polls barely spend any of his own money on the campaign?
I wonder if secretly he wants to be impeached so he can blame the "deep state" for sabotaging him (because his ego won't let him quit).
Yeah, if you're a smart and more politically conscious billionaire, you HAVE to be annoyed at that notion.
An impeachment, as long as it doesn't result in anything worse than removal from office, would be the kind of press that I'd wager he thrives off of (and can profit from).

I actually got my first look at Harris while watching TYT. Cenk, being the southbound backside of a mule that he is, was clearly on the offensive immediately which made me curious as to why. So I looked further into Harris, saw him on the Rubin Report, got even more interested, and it went from there. He's everywhere now, really. From his podcast to Joe Rogan.
Every time I see/hear him, I'm more impressed.
It was
Letter to a Christian Nation. It's been around awhile. What content was there wasn't bad. The book, as a whole, though, was a lot of emotional appeal and ranting. I mean, the title sort of lends itself to that sort of anecdote, so I suppose I should have known better.
I've seen him speak elsewhere, though, and he definitely came across better. It wasn't on politics, though, so truthfully, I have no idea what his politics are. If I liked them, though, I would certainly vote for the guy.
Color me shocked and amazed.

And 2, sleeper, no one condones the actions. If he did divulge something he shouldn't have, it is not condoned by any reasonable conservative.
This needs said. Seeing someone as the best option doesn't mean you support everything. I voted for Johnson despite not liking plenty of his track record, and I'd be more than okay calling him out on that sort of thing.
