There was plenty of smoke there an more than a little fire we just can’t prove hat Hillary set the fire deliberately. Hillary met all the components of a crime other than intent.

So then you are admitting that you aren’t just butthurt over Trump, ou would b just as butthurt over ANY Republican win?

He’s a figurehead for the GOP, a distraction for the people while they get down to screwing the American people behind closed doors late at night when they hope no one will notice. I for one am glad that he is backpedalling on that stuff. I hope he backpedals even more. Would you prefer if he didn’t? I think it takes a really bad short term memory to think convince yourself that Trump is a Republican establishment stooge. ---

Boo! No, that’s wrong. They were concerned about a large new government program that would provide health care to the working poor who made too much for Medicaid but didn’t have employer based employment worth speaking of. They were concerned that Obama would raise taxed back to Clinton Levels of taxation and then some. They were worried that Obama would pass a stimulus that would avert the next great depression and he would bail out folks to save what little manufacturing industry we still had left in this country. They were worried that he would nominate liberal justices to the Supreme Court. They were worried that he would support pro-choice policies. They were worried that he would support more gun control. etc. They were basically worried that he would be a Democrat. Just like most of your concerns are basically that Trump might behave like a Republican. That’s not to equate Obama and his qualifications with Trump but most of the butthurt is not Trump specific. It is simply the result of Hillary losing the election no matter who the Republican candidate was. ---

\*\*Damuri Ajashi \*\*, I can’t believe you didn’t know this, but the research into Trump and his connection to Russia was started by the GOP during the primaries. Once he became the nominee, the GOP dropped the research and the researchers then started working for the Democrats. This was widely reported at the time. You really need to take a breath, all you guys are spinning out of control (you really don’t take criticism well). > **[How the Trump dossier came to light: secret sources, a retired spy and John...](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/jan/11/trump-russia-report-opposition-research-john-mccain)** > > What began as opposition research during the Republican primary slowly grew from a covert investigation into an extraordinary but unverified global story ---
