Of course it wasn't meant to, but that's how it was advertised.
"Bait and Switch" is a core element of the education of every MBA (Morally Bankrupt Asshole).

Are we even sure these are the same Republicans whose indignant rage over Clinton blowjobs and denials led to an impeachment? Maybe they've all been replaced by alien doubles - I mean, what else could explain the turnabout?
There's a big difference between some alleged dalliances that happened well before DT was president or even a candidate, on the one hand, and "Slick Willie" using his willie with an early-20s subordinate in the Oval Office, and then lying about it both under oath and to the American people (and fessing up only after learning the existence of the infamous blue dress).
Actually saying there's big difference isn't really the right way to frame it--they are just two completely different things that have no analogy, other than both involved an extra-marital "affair" of sorts.
Slick wasn't impeached for having an affair.
(Now DT may have done a little lying himself about some of this stuff and could be in a spot of trouble--we'll have to see how this shakes out.)

The payoff occurred about three weeks before the election, in that distant time of October, 2016.
Try again...

You guys just don't get it. He's delighted to have you denigrate him - it keeps him at the center of attention. So, keep piling on and cursing the Donald, and keep avoiding the issue of resurrecting the DP, and come the next presidential election he's back in office.
Confirmation bias may be good for the soul, but it's counter productive
Just MHO.

Reilly is correct, 8% of Blacks voted for Trump, 28% of Hispanics voted for Trump
therefore, they are racist!

People pay lip service to the idea that you have to run on an actual platform instead of just attacking the other side. But the reality of our two-party system, especially for the mid-terms, attacking the other side gets more traction with voters.
Hell, the R's go to platform is to still run against Hillary.

America has changed, and whatever you view as the good old days ain’t coming back. Changed with a capital C. Expect more strife, more authoritarianism, more egalitarianism, and less of the middle. My heart is in the middle, and it’s being crowded.

Yes, it is more exciting and gets the spirits up.
President Pelosi. I like the sound of that! She won't stop at the speakership. Pelosi vs Trump, what a treat!

Democrats lose elections because they talk about government policy, no one cares
Republicans win elections because they sell emotion, racism, hate, and the 3 G's
God, Guns, and Gays
pack it in Dems, you can't beat em, you don't have it in you to compete on their terms

Pelosi? Seriously? If she was a guy she wouldn’t be able to tie her shoes.
Elisabeth Warren would, or should, destroy her in the primaries.

Trigger word
they must defeat the possibility of Pelosi coming back as Speaker
Who cares what policies she would enact,
like lower cost health care, more higher paying jobs, better education, environmental progress, better economy, etc...
it's all about trigger words

President Trump is fabulous. I read all of his tweets. He might just be the best president in my lifetime if he keeps going like this.
The real problem is that he is so brilliant that the vast majority of people can not appreciate him.
I would rather have an outspoken Republican president than a secretive Democratic president like Hillary Clinton would have been.
He is standing up to North Korea, he is addressing our trade deficit, the Mideast became much quieter after he ordered the dropping of the Mother of All Bombs and his responses to Syrian use of chemical warfare. His speech defending the bombing of the Syrian chemical weapons facility was brilliant.
The Republicans have lowered taxes for the majority of Americans, especially renters and famiies. He is the best friend of the taxpayer since George W. Bush, who got rid of the marriage tax penalty, issued three rebates to low income taxpayers and allowed low income taxpayers to pay zero capital gains taxes in many instances. The Democrats only want to increase taxes.
Unemployment is at an extreme low. Some people are waking up to the fact that we can achieve more than a 3% annual growth rate in GDP. It will happen despite the doubters. China and India can do it. So can we.
All of you who don't believe in him are entitled to your opinion. But derogatory comments don't outweigh his accomplishments.
