It is hard to overstate Trump's failed role during the pandemic. He's scientifically illiterate, promoted crackpot cures, discouraged testing, opposed state containment policies, and incompetently tried to make himself televant at COVID-19 pressers.

Anyone who thinks Trump is "good" on foreign policy is not paying attention. He ran against Bush's wars, didn't end them, outbombed Obama, procured record military budgets, hired neo-cons into influential roles, assassinated an Iranian government official,teased Venezuelan war... https://t.co/CM4ahJ8na5

Nikki Haley fears facing DeSantis in a NH debate. DeSantis has been the best debater in the field including Trump. Haley has momentum in NH and the last thing Haley wants is for DeSantis to build on his runner-up finish in Iowa.

No. For one thing, it was a riot, not an insurrection. Second, J6 happened because pf poor security planning. Third, Trump specifically argued for a peaceful protest.

The major issue I have with Trump was his dereliction of duty once the riot had started.
You don't think Trump bribing farmers isn't intrinsically corrupt?

I don't have an issue with farmers hiring willing workers wherever they come from.
Utter rubbish and I'm an original Never Trumper. The Constitution decides the criteria to run for office. There was no "coup" on J6--no hint of any military involvement. If you're some loser incumbent who can't convince the American people not to vote for Trump, your fault.

Some Trumpkin FNC contributor is whining the MSM didn't cover his victory lap after the Iowa caucuses.

Seriously, the dude is a publicity whore. His crimes and civil trials get plenty of MSM attention. The dude thinks he's above the law: contempt of court in the Carroll case.
Trump is a disagreeable self-serving SOB. He's bitching loud enough to his lawyers in court to interrupt jurors. Judge Kaplan is warning Trump could get his ass kicked out of court. Personally, I wish the judge would slap the taste out of his mouth.

I never understood the quixotic GOP primary campaign of Ramaswamy who served as Trump's biggest cheerleader at debates. Then Trump slaps him down over the weekend, he loses badly Monday, withdraws and promptly endorses Trump. I wonder if he offered his other cheek to Trump.

So this is what FNC is bitching about. I didn't know FNC viewers watched MSNBC. As I've noted, Trump has always lusted for power and glory. Of course, Trump feels entitled to coverage. Starve the beast. He didn't even participate in debates. https://t.co/jZrZyymOnA

Trump is bitching as usual, this time over the judge's refusal to delay the Carroll trial so he can also attend his MIL's funeral. Always the victim. I'm sure the MIL wasn't happy with the father of her grandson cheating on her daughter with a porn actress 4 months after birth.

OMG, Sore Loser Trump is now stealing talking points from DeSantis who took a shot at Haley at the Iowa debate for citing Hillary Clinton as an inspiration for earning a major party POTUS nomination. Trump has a history of targeting Hillary.

I was wondering why Biden wasn't on next week's NH Dem primary ballot. It seems Biden wanted SC to have the first Dem primary. to which the national party agreed. NH disagreed defending its first state tradition. The national party is sanctioning NH. So Dems are writing in Biden

I'm sure others have made a similar point, but I'm stunned that Tim Scott would endorse Trump, undermining the candidacy of former Gov. Nikki Haley, who named him to fill DeMint's old Senate seat. I guess Ben Carson now has to share his Blacks for Trump phonebooth.

I haven't read the piece beyond the quote, but the quote itself is spot on. Leftists are pissed she seems to equate Biden and Trump. They differ, but they are both flawed.
Of course, Trump is an uncivil, narcissistic, incompetent, unprincipled, manipulative, failed former President who is unworthy of ever holding public office again.
