When a candidate is so contorted, the question is still apt: Is such a candidate a Democrat or Republican?

Democrats should be careful. They might win an election only to find that they cannot implement policies close to their heart.
The Dems need to win both houses in 2018, keep them in 2020 and take back the presidency to implement any heartfelt programs. Thanks to Trump this probably will happen unless the Dems somehow screw it up.

FWIW, I don't see the aptness of your question except in a litmus test framework and this either/or us/them choice is at the heart of the matter.

I have utmost faith in Pelosi to screw things up unless the rumors are true that she will be making a dramatic exit from DC just before the mid term elections. Let us all hope so, not to mention for H--> to keep her mouth shut. She was at it again last week just before the PA special election.

Trump had senior staff sign nondisclosure agreements. They’re supposed to last beyond his presidency.

Quote:
This is extraordinary. Every president inveighs against leakers and bemoans the kiss-and-tell books; no president, to my knowledge, has attempted to impose such a pledge. And while White House staffers have various confidentiality obligations — maintaining the secrecy of classified information or attorney-client privilege, for instance — the notion of imposing a side agreement, supposedly enforceable even after the president leaves office, is not only oppressive but constitutionally repugnant.
Chances are this is not enforceable since the WH is not a private enterprise regardless of what the Dotard believes.

‘I made Steve Bannon’s psychological warfare tool’

Stolen FB data was used to target millions of voters by the Trump campaign to poison their minds with lies and deception. Non-thinkers like Whell took the bait, and our democracy is in peril as a result. Sad!

Here's a good video on the subject from the group who broke this story, Channel 4.

Not whining that I can see but investigating. Does that bother you?
Because if there is nothing there, then nothing there.
But if there is, expect the Dotard to claim “no collusion”.
This seems to be going beyond a simple Russian troll activity.

Yes the 24 hour whine re Brexit especially coming from the BBC.
They cannot believe that the British people would withstand the pro Brexit bombardment (even with Obama's help).

Now there is the promotion of this whacky psychography as an explanation.
