That's true. A lot of it is bigotry and ignorance, but not all. And some of Trump's supporters, I assume, are good people.

I wasn't equating Trump supporters with Nazis, but if you want to go there, good for you.

You sure were.

"And some of Trump's supporters, I assume, are good people."

Not "most" or "almost all". Just "some." What are the rest?

It's a modified Trump quote, silly. And the rest are bigots and the ignorant, according to your link.

They're your words. Your intent is clear.
 
Lost in the deliberate smoke screen mean to smear republicans and Trump is this story.

Menendez may well be convicted and forced out of the Senate before November. His replacement would be appointed by Chris Christie.

The last vote to flush ObamaCare down the toilet where it belongs?

Harry Reid Sought White House Help for Menendez Donor, DOJ Says

U.S. Senator Robert Menendez, in trying to help a campaign donor who was accused of overbilling the government, enlisted then-Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to “amplify the pressure” on the Obama administration, the Justice Department said.

Reid contacted a White House staffer, who declined to help, prosecutors disclosed Wednesday in a court filing.

Menendez, a New Jersey Democrat, faces a corruption trial next week with Salomon Melgen, a Florida eye doctor and close friend accused of bribing him with hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions and lavish trips in exchange for his help on government disputes.

Menendez “enlisted” Reid in November 2011 to help pressure the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, known as CMS, to reverse its ruling that Melgen owed $8.9 million for overbilling Medicare. Reid contacted a White House deputy chief of staff, prosecutors said.

“At that time, the Majority Leader reached out to the White House Deputy Chief of Staff, informing her that Menendez was upset about how a Florida ophthalmologist was being treated by CMS and asking that she call the agency,” according to the 30-page filing.
 
"Bully is a positive, 53% people are complimenting him. Hint: why is the President said to have a 'bully pulpit'?"

--Things Denny would never post.
 
Competent: 35%
Strong Leader: 35%
Honest: 30%
------------------------
Total: 100%

Clearly, everyone thinks Trump is competent, honest, or a strong leader.

New Jersey Senator Menendez fails to win breaks in corruption trial

(Reuters) - A federal judge has rejected Senator Robert Menendez’s request to allow breaks in his corruption trial beginning next Wednesday so the New Jersey Democrat could travel to Washington to cast critical Senate votes.

In a decision made public on Friday, U.S. District Judge William Walls in Newark, New Jersey, rejected Menendez’s claim that he deserved special treatment because he had a “constitutional duty” to be in Washington for his constituents.

Walls said he suspected the request was part of a strategy to “impress the jurors” with Menendez’s importance, but that it was speculative to suggest the senator would miss key votes.

...

If Menendez were convicted and forced from the Senate while New Jersey Governor Chris Christie was still in office, the Republican could appoint a replacement and add to the GOP’s thin Senate majority. Christie’s term ends on Jan. 16, 2018.

Teflon Don confounds Democrats
Democrats have attacked the president every which way, but polling and focus groups show none of it's working.

Social Media Is Making You Stupid

(Granted, it applies to the president, too)

http://macedoniaonline.eu/content/view/32566/61/

Donald Trump is a symptom of a media environment based on short attention spans that is making the world stupider, one of the founders of Twitter has said.

Evan Williams, one of the co-founders of the network, said Trump’s election highlighted a wider issue about how social media platforms were helping to “dumb the entire world down” and undermining our sense of truth.


(It didn't stop with the election)

You may have to start referring to him as Donkey Don given all of the deals he's cutting with the Dems.

Read the article? It speaks to the voters seeing him, still, as an outsider. As such, he would have to deal with both parties to build a coalition that can govern.

I don't blame him. The republicans haven't even done the easy things.

Redoing the Electoral Math
I argued that demographics favored the Democrats. I was wrong.

If any force on Earth could be powerful enough to unite the Democratic Party, you’d have thought the words “President Donald Trump” would do the trick. Instead, Hillary Clinton’s defeat last November only served to intensify the split within the party. Nine months in, two warring camps continue to offer seemingly irreconcilable versions of what went awry and how to fix it. On one side, populists like Bernie Sanders and Rust Belt Democrats like Representative Tim Ryan of Ohio argue that the party lost by neglecting working-class voters while catering primarily to “identity politics.” On the other side, an equally vocal contingent makes the opposite case: that the Democrats will blow it in 2018 and 2020 if they take voters of color for granted and focus their energy on wooing the white voters who backed Trump.
