I have already addressed the chief advisor position and do you have a source that confirms a request for the son in law. Even if that is the case it doesn't mean he will be appointed to a cabinet position. It could be for many other reasons. I will address facts when they become facts. Unlike you who has already jumped the gun.
You did not address the facts concerning Hillary, you were running with every speculation and jumping the gun allover the place.

You are a hypocrite and I guess you think people forget your posting history.

And we all know when the facts become clear you will figure out some way to excuse those away as well.

I am hearing that the anti Semitic position that Brannon has been accused of is all contrived. There are Jewish organization leaders saying it isn't true. I haven't confirmed any of this but it is being reported.

You are really a numbskull. I told you Hillary was under criminal investigation and you denied it so careful about relating histories.

When it's confirmed I am sure you will still be denying it. I still have a few friends in Washington. But I don't impose.

She was never under criminal investigation and you are still wrong.

And what about you saying the FBI was holding something back?

I see why you like Trump so much just make shit up and then deny it once you get called out.

You really don't realize how much of a joke you continue to be.

My Lord man do you live in a cave? How can you possibly say Hillary Clinton was never under criminal investigation. You have just made the most absurd statement of the year. And I never said the FBI was holding anything back just the opposite. I said the Director of the FBI was overstepping his authority by bring his own conclussion to the investigation.

Setting aside laughing at Democrats like Townsend, who are stupid, it's now time to shift gears and start talking about, yes, Donald Trump could very well be a disaster.
So you agree with me. You just want to be insulting while you agree with me.

I don't buy for a second the left hate-rhetoric about Bannon being a white supremacist, but once we've disposed of their kookiness.... really? The head of Breitbart for chief advisor? Now I'm hearing Laura Ingraham will have some cabinet role? John Bolton? Newt Gingrich? Sarah Palin as Secretary of the Interior?

This wouldn't be an administration of Washington outsiders, its an administration of Washington rejects and talk show personalities, none of whom will have any idea how to work together. Why not bring in various CEOs, Republican state officials who maybe haven't served in Washington before, and some center Democrats and Libertarians to shake up the "swamp"?

Trump would be better served just marketing a Mike Pence presidency with the Trump brand. Unless these are all Pence picks but I doubt it. Some of these names are either cast offs who haven't been relevant in a generation or two (Palin, Gingrich, Bolton) or are just inflammatory reality show stars. Why not Karl Rove and Rush Limbaugh??

I sure hope Paul Ryan runs this show from behind the scenes and just browbeats Trump into signing what comes across his desk because otherwise this doesn't look like it's a group of people with a coherent objective.
This really feels like what I've been saying from the beginning, I guess we're both idiot democrats.

Sanders: If Trump has the 'guts' to take on corporate America, he's got an ally

By Edward Mejia Davis and Jeff Zeleny, CNN
Updated 9:38 AM ET, Fri November 18, 2016


(CNN) — President-elect Donald Trump will find himself with an unlikely ally if he makes good on his promise to be an economic populist challenging corporate America, Bernie Sanders said Thursday.

"If Mr. Trump has the guts to stand up to those corporations," said the former Democratic presidential candidate, "he will have an ally with me."

The willingness on the part of Sanders, a longtime democratic socialist, to work with Trump on a series of economic issues underscores the unorthodox and strikingly populist message that Trump used during his stunning victory over Hillary Clinton.

Sanders, speaking with reporters at a Christian Science Monitor sponsored breakfast, said he is ready to embrace Trump on a handful of campaign promises. Those include protecting Social Security and Medicare, negotiating for lower drug prices, raising the minimum wage to $10, imposing tariffs on companies that ship jobs overseas, and re-regulating Wall Street by re-establishing Glass-Steagall.

On these issues, Trump's promises put the President-elect closer to Sanders than to most Republican Party leaders. House Speaker Paul Ryan, for example, would not commit to passing Trump's tariff plan during a Sunday appearance on CNN's "State of the Union with Jake Tapper," saying that the solution is reforming the US tax code, "not tariffs, not trade wars."

By embracing Trump's left-leaning stands, Sanders is hoping to make progress on issues of long-standing concern to the Vermont senator. If Trump backs away from these promises and sides with the conventional conservatives who lead the Republican Party in Congress, Sanders believes that Trump will be exposed as a "fraud."

Sanders has not spoken one-on-one with Clinton

Sanders, who is promoting his new book, "Our Revolution: A Future To Believe In," during a series of appearances across Washington, is stepping into the leadership vacuum of the Democratic Party.

He said it was not productive to look backward, waving off a question about whether he could have defeated Trump if he had won the Democratic nomination with a "who knows?" response.

Long-running tensions between Sanders and Clinton have not fully cooled. Sanders said he had not spoken directly with Clinton following her loss, but only on conference call with other Senate Democrats.

Several Clinton advisers have blamed the primary campaign with Sanders for weakening Clinton's candidacy in the general election, a suggestion Sanders dismissed.

"At the end of the day, my candidacy ended up being helpful to her -- if we believe candidates should not be anointed," Sanders said. "I'm happy to say my campaign brought millions of people into the political process, the vast majority of whom ended up voting for Hillary Clinton. I think it played a very positive role."

Sanders said Clinton "has a very important role to play" in rebuilding the Democratic Party, noting that she received more votes than Trump.

"Does that mean she and I are going to agree on every issue?" Sanders said. "Frankly, we are not going to agree on every issue, but her voice is important to be heard."


Sanders vows to hold Trump accountable

Even as Sanders offers to work with Trump on the populist components of his economic program, critical differences remain.

Sanders is calling on Trump to fire Steve Bannon, the controversial former Breitbart executive who was recently named chief strategist of the Trump White House.

Sanders is promising to fight Trump "tooth and nail" on climate change, an issue that Trump has dismissed as a "hoax."

The Vermont senator opposes Trump's tax policy, which would cut taxes for the top 1% of earners by $317,000 per year, according to the Tax Policy Center.

And Sanders said it would be "an outrage" that would "completely divide the country" if Trump were to make good on his promise to appoint a special prosecutor to "lock up" Clinton.

But on a series of bread-and-butter issues, Sanders said that Trump's campaign spoke to the concerns of the working class and promised to work with the President-elect "if Mr. Trump was sincere."

Asked by CNN about Trump's call to establish tariffs on companies that relocate jobs overseas, a promise that Trump set forth in his "Contract with the American Voter," Sanders said that Trump was right to stand up to corporations like Carrier and Nabisco that want to outsource jobs and vowed to work with Trump on this issue.

"A tariff may well be one of those options," Sanders said.

"(Trump) talked about a collapsing middle class in America," said Sanders. "He is right."

That's okay. Prejudice is a great time saver. One can form opinions without getting the facts.

I am not underestimating anything just laughing that he felt the need to drop that tidbit in there.

What does friends in Washington have to do with Bannon and his background?

It was totally random statement that had nothing to do with the topic especially considering he said they have told him nothing.

The next time you bring a fact into the discussion will be your 1st.

You are the king of forming opinions while disregarding all facts.

It wasn't just about Bannon. It was about your continual denial of the Clinton criminal investigation as well. I probably would have been better off saying nothing knowing how you screw things around.

I am usually right however with what I Present because I don't rely on google for most of my information. You on the other hand can't make a statement without using someone else's verbiage from google and even then it's only those things that suit your agenda. You are closed minded, prejudicial, and intolerant of anyone or anything that doesn't fit your conceptions. You only response is a twisted version of something else in order to derail the commentary. In short I am always sorry I bother to communicate with you and hopefully I have learned my lesson.
