He does do that. And it never comes to pass. It's bluster from a vindictive, narcissistic, egomaniac.

Sure, you can quit defending his pathetic conspiracy theories and support a conservative who’s challenging him,

Asking a notoriously totalitarian regime that's in the middle of a mass incarceration of religious and ethnic minorities to "investigate" your political rival?

Very presidential, much conservative, so patriotic.

well...this describes obama and the clintons too...guess it all depends on what team you are on

maybe trump needs to be more like obama?

the Guardian
"Since Barack Obama entered the White House in 2009, his government has waged a war against whistleblowers and official leakers. On his watch, there have been eight prosecutions under the 1917 Espionage Act – more than double those under all previous presidents combined."

If you're a Republican who hung your hat on "no quid pro quo!", what do you do tomorrow?

The texts make 100% clear:

1. Our top diplomat in Kiev says there was an "investigation for aid" quid pro quo.

2. Everyone knew there was a "investigation for meeting" quid pro quo.

I support the best ( defined by growing the economy, protecting the unborn, killing terrorists, appointing judges who put the constitution above their personal beliefs) who can win. The only Republican who has a prayer in 2020, is Trump.

Pathetic conspiracy theories... Remember during the election, he claimed his team was being bugged, and everyone called him a nut? Even I thought he had lost his mind. Well he was 100% correct.

Now that you mention it!!!

The problem is, the democrats can see that a victory in 2020 isn't guaranteed because of the economy, and because of the field of freaks they are running. As we know (see the use of superdelegates in their primaries), democrats only embrace the notion of open elections, when they win. This is irrefutable.

From the guy who can't bring himself to say anything remotely critical of Hilary. You don't like people who ignore their sides flaws? Look in the mirror, snowflake.

Exactly.

Constitution, shmonstitution.

Did you see video of Congresswomen Talib telling the Detroit chief of police, that only blacks should be allowed to work with facial recognition software, because everyone who isn't black, thinks that all blacks look alike? Who needs the 14th amendment anyway?

Carter Page wasn't a member of the campaign when he was under surveillance.

Remember when the whole whistleblower claim was hearsay?

Remember when it was made up fake news?

Trump was right when he said his campaign was being spied on.

A member of his campaign was being investigated legally by the government.

Trump said the campaign was being bugged, he was mocked, but he was right.

Legally? Let's see what US Attorney Durham says...he says legally, I say OK and drop it.

He wasn’t right, Trump knew nothing about Papodap being looked at and if the FBI didn’t investigate they would have been derelict in their duties. Trump has spun you so hard you’re arguing against our government operating properly.
