I Like Politics

@windinhishair: Are you suggesting that Trump himself leaked the contents of those conversations to the media? Please tell us you aren't thinking that....

While I don't hold my views to be ironclad in march step with all conservatives.. It is true that Trump's conversations WERE leaked...

@williemcd: I'm suggesting nothing of the kind. But you can't record a conversation more than a week BEFORE IT OCCURRED, several hundred miles away. It likely was someone in the White House who did it.

I'm not stating that.. Please don't assume I agree with what someone else says...I'd suggest you start a list of your own of Conservatives that have blocked ya!

@windinhishair: Most likely a holdover from the Obama administration...

@williemcd: Could have been, but the current staffers brought in by Trump have been some of the leakiest, because they've found they can't convince Trump directly, but he does watch the news and they have more success if they leak something to the media and he sees it on TV. Sad, but true!

I don't need to start a list. There have only been a couple, though the reasons have been pretty bizarre!

@windinhishair: I'm assuming you've proof of your claim....Proof you'll share with us...that is..

@williemcd: Kellyanne Conway has made that statement in public. So have reporters from the NYT, Washington Post, NBC News, CNN, and other news organizations.

That shouldn't be so hard to understand. Trump thinks he is the smartest person around and refuses to admit he is wrong, so his staff has to find workarounds that they think will get him to make better decisions.

@windinhishair: You've got Trump confused with Obama.. Barry stated he was the smartest man in the room... would be a better speech writer than his speech writers... a better political strategist than his political strategist, a better intelligence briefer than his intelligence briefer... All citible.. And to quote those rags as sources? They've become the laughing stock of the media!

Here's the exact quote from Bath-house-barry: “I think that I’m a better speechwriter than my speechwriters,” Mr. Obama told Patrick Gaspard, his political director, at the start of the 2008 campaign, according to The New Yorker. “I know more about policies on any particular issue than my policy directors. And I’ll tell you right now that I’m going to think I’m a better political director than my political director.”

More?

@windinhishair: Perhaps you're beginning to see why liberals tend to resort to blocking... I don't espouse emotions but rather facts and data when I confront liberals... Hence the video that lead to this thread!

Are you really going to assert that Obama is as narcissistic and the biggest narcissist we've ever had in politics, Trump? The man (Trump) is mentally ill with malignant narcissism.

I suppose you favor Breitbart, InfoWars, and Fox News as "news" sources?

Wrong on all three points... Sure.. Trump has an ego... if you go into politics hopefully you think you're qualified.. same as Obama.. but somehow something stinks with Obama.. Like how did he get into the various schools he attended when he self admitted he was a so-so student and a doper at that.. How did he get into Columbia Law..? How did he get elected to Ill. state senator with nothing on his resume... How did he get elected to US senator after voting "present" over 50 times.... How did he attain the nomination with NO KEY legislation passed, of his, during his short years in the Senate... Aren't you the least bit curious how he accomplished all that with NO credible track record? A tiny bit at least?

As far as narcissistic.. I just provided Barry's own words... can't refute that!

@williemcd: I really didn't think you were going to get into the conspiracy theory crap. We have a man in the White House who is both tempermentally and mentally unfit to govern, and you're complaining about someone who DID have experience? That just makes no sense, even for a right winger.

So what if Obama had a high self-image? Like you said, many politicians do. But Trump is unlike any other politician we've had because his level of narcissism is pathological.

And you've measurable proof of your claim... or is it emotions... And I've yet to hear you explain Obama's metoric rise in the D party!! Call it a conspiricy if you'd like to belittle the question.. but it still doesn't answer the question!!! There is less proof of the collusion or obstruction of justice against Trump than there is against Obama!!! Where are OBAMA's college transcripts?

@williemcd: Obama is a skilled politician. I watched his speech during the 2004 Democratic nomination of Kerry and told my wife that we were watching the future president. In fact, it happened more quickly than I imagined, but I wasn't the only one who had that thought.

You can't be serious about Obama's transcripts? He went to college! He taught at a law school! That stuff isn't faked. You probably believe he is from Kenya too.

Obstruction of justice against Obama? When Trump has clearly shown that it is a distinct possibility? Why do you think Mueller is investigating him? What did Obama do to obstruct justice? No conspiracy theories please.

Umm.. Obama is a great speaker... if he's reading from a teleprompter... Ya want a dozen or MORE examples when he's a bumbling idiot when free lancing?? Like 57 states?.. The question about college? How the hell did he get IN Columbia when he admitted his was a substandard student.. One of his books... He was an adjunt professor in guess where..... Chicago!! One of the more politically corrupt areas of the country...
I never claimed that Obama tried to obstruct justice.. he had his minions do that... re; eric holder and Fast and Furious... Still in contempt of congress... Or do you consider THAT to be a conspiracy too?

You said "There is less proof of the collusion or obstruction of justice against Trump than there is against Obama!!!" But that is so far-fetched as to be ludicrous. You've obviously drunk the Kool Aid of the alt-right about Obama, so nothing I can say will dissuade you.

He got into Columbia on his merits. He got into law school on his merits. He edited a law journal on his merits. He got a job teaching at a law school on his merits. Why is this so hard for you to understand?

His merits? Would you please provide his transcripts? To date, he's refused to release them nor his Columbia transcripts nor his thesis.. ...
My sentence structure was a bit off on the obstruction I admit... It should have said... There is less evidence on Trump and the obstruction or collusion charge than there is for a full investigation into Barry's past!

@williemcd: Why does he have to release his transcripts? Is he under investigation or something? What possible useful purpose would that serve?

You have a president who is enriching himself and his family at the expense of the nation. Someone who hasn't released his tax returns that are necessary to understand his Russian financial entanglements as well as those with other nations. That's a big deal.

And you've proof of that enrichment? I would think you'd have liked to know the thinking and back ground of those you are about to elect to the highest office yet didn't ask nor insist upon it.. No.. you'd rather concern yourselves about how many scoops of ice cream Trump had with his lunch! Well.. ya can rant or rave all ya want from here on in.. but frankly,.. you've become boring... I'd suggest you start your own thread if ya want feedback...
