You have a significant portion of a party's base that lives in fear. Fear of illegal immigrants, fear of their guns being taken, fear of homosexuals, fear of Muslims. You have party leaders that either live with the same fears or do their best to stoke those fears. I strongly believe this is largely why Trump's base will not abandon him. Their fear outweighs how much they care about any crimes he may have committed. |

I guess maybe it's that he provided some value to Trump during his campaign which would need to be reported. So it would count as an illegal campaign contribution. Just a thought.

It's a crime to be involved in a conspiracy to break campaign finance laws.

I mean Hillary campaigned to the right of Trump on foreign policy, trade, budget, and military. Almost all her positions were moderate with maybe a twinge to the left.

Does that include campaigning for $15/hr minimum wage? Free tuition for public colleges? Keeping the Iran deal? Supporting Unions? Taxing the rich? Supporting AWB? Her positions were often in the left column even if they weren't far left.

I don't think those positions are far left by global standards. It's pretty center-left to me. When you mix that in with the other positions I mentioned that were on the right, she's a moderate. I know there's some revisionist history that goes on during elections to paint a candidate to one extreme or the other, but she was one of the most (if not the most) conservative Democrat Senators during her time. Her run as SoS carried on most of the same policies the Bush Administration started. She is and always was a moderate Democrat. Should also add that she wasn't calling for a $15/hour minimum wage. She called for it to be $12/hour. She said she supported those people who were fighting for $15 in certain cities but that wasn't her policy position. It was one of the biggest moments of the primary debates. |

The whole point of pushing for a $15 minimum wage is that you are willing to settle for like 10-12$. I think the federal minimum wage is still under $8. You always aim higher then what you are willing to settle for.
That being said I fully acknowledge that a lot of people are way overpaid making minimum wage Last edited by stevew : 08-23-2018 at 05:34 PM. |

Bullshit. The point of raising minimum wage is to get those that are under the poverty line and working up to a acceptable standard of living while also driving middle class wages up. If middle class wages were rising $12 or even $15 per hour wouldn't seem so ridiculous. Saying anyone making minimum wage is overpaid when we have people in our society making millions doing nothing but having other people move their money around is absurd. |

In addition to the Enquirer flipping on Trump, there's this gem:
Ken ThomasVerified account @KThomasDC 5h5 hours ago NEW YORK (AP) — The National Enquirer kept a safe containing documents on hush money payments and other damaging stories it killed as part of its cozy relationship with Donald Trump leading up to 2016 presidential election, people familiar with the arrangement told The AP.

Hillary didn't lose because of her positions, she list because of her personality. Nominate someone younger & more charismatic, it's not rocket science... but yet we still hear about HRC, Kerry, Bernie & Joe Biden.

I think you're seeing the information (the real backbone of Mueller's probe and raid on Cohen's office) starting to flow out, and like a ship taking on water, there are some who are getting out now, while the getting is good. It may not sink, but they are guaranteed to make it if they leave now.

trump straight out calls on the head of the Department of Justice, to openly investigate political foes, and calls each of them out by name. The funny thing is that it almost sounds like begging.
Who was the last president to brazenly, openly, call for Justice to be used to go after people who disagreed with the president. Is this how the government was intended to be run? Is the Justice Department now just the 'capo' of the Don?
