    In one of the opening scenes of the first Godfather movie A man comes to the Godfather with horrible story of his daughter being raped by two high school boys and the authorities won't do anything about it. The Godfather looks at him, and says you understand that if I do you this favor you will owe me a favor that I will collect at some future time?

    I bring this up because official Washington works in a similar fashion. Everybody owes someone else a favor of some sort. That is after all how government by compromise gets done.

    Trump isn't part of that. He owes nobody any favors and to be sure no one owes him any either. He is outside the DC good ole boys club and that scares the bejeezus out of the club. They have no control over him and that scares them even worse.

    They are revealing themselves for what they are scared children desperately hunting for the right spell to rid them of this boogey man that they did not create and cannot seem to destroy no matter how many lies they fabricate. The old charms aren't working any more racist worn it out no one cares let alone believes. Nazi or fascist ditto. When you've spouted that crap for going on sixty years people started to understand you're engaged in playground and just leftist for 'he's a mean ole poopy head make him go away' and taken no more seriously.

    The only ones that seem to be scared of Trump in DC appear to be the GOP Senate and House members. One tweet of Trump may mean they lose re-election. That's why they'd rather lie for Trump than standing up for the right thing, calling Trump's corruption for what it is. Behind closed doors, I am sure they'd tell you what they think about his phone call to Ukraine shenanigans.

    It's a simple answer.

    Right now, the unelected bureaucrats are the real government, not the person the people elect.

    It is exactly what Eisenhower warned us about.

    Exactly the opposite the only ones telling any truth in DC are the Republicans and not all of them.

    That's why he won. He's a true outsider.

    Government by compromise gets done when the two parties agree to disagree but work towards bipartisan governance for the betterment of the country. Political polarization has made that notion a quaint relic of the past.

    Why would anyone want to talk people they know are going to lie and misquote and take things out of context? One thing about it no Republican has any reason to talk to the MSM unless he's a masochist.

    The simple answer to your question is-------------because he is draining the swamp of all the left wing corruption that has gone on for years. And they hate it he cant be bought!!!! If Hillary would have been elected all the criminal activity of the Obama admin would have been swept under the rug.

    That's what I said in DC compromise is a collection of favors exchanged with the primary end game being that incumbents stay incumbents.

    The people who were there before he got there and will be there after he leaves. Presidents are temporary bureaucrats and some members of Congress are not.

    The people didn’t elect the president.
    They voted against him.

    I agree with the rest.

    I could explain how his election was designed by the founders intentionally, but would you listen?

    Nah.

    Believe what you want.

    Someday I hope you get what you're voting for.

    You know, like CA, IL and the rest of the Democrat voters.

    Trump has surrounded himself with Legions of Lawyers his entire Life

    Named in 10,000 Lawsuits, known for not paying his bills ( recent Trump Rally's , contractors ) an underhanded businessman

    His " Charity " was just a Self Serving Tax Deduction

    At every turn Trump acts Like a Crime Boss

    Trump has not shown an ounce of integrity

    No one is scared of Trump other than making America unsafe

    Playing the victim card again? Of course, it is convenient to claim that the GOP's inability to defend Trump's actions is the fault of the press asking hard questions.
