I realize this is a hypothetical scenario and understand that most of you struggle with that but..


I need some context..

Selling access to the presidency through a foundation is ok. So we shouldn’t be concerned with that.

Colluding with an agent of a foreign government in order to begin a sham investigation is ok. So we shouldn’t be concerned with that.

Give us some context here.

You're always so angry. No wonder you couldn't make it in the private sector

Don't all politicians make requests for personal gain? They don't ask for donations for your or my gain, just theirs.

To answer your question, No. Wouldn't change a damn thing.


Seems about like what I expected. How much of your reaction do you think is purely identity politics? Do you think it's hypocritical?

I'm hopeful he'll have a little more flexibility after the election


Hypothetically, if President Trump weaponized the IRS, would BMY be upset?

The discharge of his constitutional duty to execute the laws of the United States will not leave a negative impression. That's just me though.

Investigating a crooked former government official to remove any chance of that individual ever holding office again?

I’d be proud as frick of him.

ETA: He’s owes it to the American people to root out rot. I’d be disappointed if he didn’t turn over every stone.

No, not at all. Unfortunately, getting ahead in politics has been a smear campaign from both parties and this would just be fighting fire with fire. Think about what the media says about Trump and republicans daily - its unbelievable. Think about what happened to Kavanaugh - disgusting.

I would argue that we should be concerned about both of those and also about the swampy shite Trump is doing with Ukraine

Not with me. Just like you and your Muslim God Obama... I choose his Presidential ideology even on a bad day over any other option.

The Obama Administration got four Americans killed in Benghazi and then lied over and over about it and YOU would take him back in a minute

Why should I care if Biden going down for corruption benefits Trump? If Biden is the corrupt POS that's been alleged, it SHOULD benefit Trump.

I would be upset if he did this for personal gain. However, for you to act like you're some principled person is ridiculous. You're a phony.

Change my opinion of him marginally? Yes.


Change it enough to vote for Elizabeth Warren over him? Not a chance.

The hypothetical here is Trump doing this for personal gain. Care to address that?

Again. Give us some context.

Keeping classified info on an unsecured server is ok. So that’s fine.

Quid pro quo to cover your sons sham job by threatening withholding aid is ok. So that’s fine.
