Washington Post: “President Trump, whose paramount concern long has been showing strength, has entered the most challenging stretch of his term, weakened on virtually every front and in danger of being forced from office as the impeachment inquiry intensifies.
*Trump now finds himself mired in a season of weakness. *Foreign leaders feel emboldened to reject his pleas or contradict him. *Officials inside his administration are openly defying his wishes by participating in the impeachment probe. *Federal courts have ruled against him. *More and more Republican lawmakers are criticizing him. *He has lost control over major conservative media organs. *Polling shows a growing share of Americans disapprove of his job performance and support his impeachment.”
The Republican party has to make a decision. Scott A**hole. you don't have a conscience.
In the summer of 1950, outraged by Joseph McCarthy’s anti-Communist inquisition, Margaret Chase Smith, a Republican senator from Maine, stood to warn her party that its own behavior was threatening the integrity of the American republic. “I don’t want to see the Republican Party ride to political victory on the four horsemen of calumny — fear, ignorance, bigotry and smear,” she said. “I doubt if the Republican Party could — simply because I don’t believe the American people will uphold any political party that puts political exploitation above national interest. Surely, we Republicans aren’t that desperate for victory.”
Senator Smith surely knew her “Declaration of Conscience” would not carry the day. Her appeal to the better angels of her party was not made in the expectation of an immediate change; sometimes the point is just to get people to look up. In the end, four more years passed before the bulk of the Republican Party looked up and turned on Senator McCarthy — four years of public show trials and thought policing that pushed the country so hard to the right that the effects lasted decades. The problem with politicians who abuse power isn’t that they don’t get results. It’s that the results come at a high cost to the Republic — and to the reputations of those who lack the courage or wisdom to resist.
The Republican Party is again confronting a crisis of conscience, one that has been gathering force ever since Donald Trump captured the party’s nomination in 2016. Afraid of his political influence, and delighted with his largely conservative agenda, party leaders have compromised again and again, swallowing their criticisms and tacitly if not openly endorsing presidential behavior they would have excoriated in a Democrat. Compromise by compromise, Donald Trump has hammered away at what Republicans once saw as foundational virtues: decency, honesty, responsibility. He has asked them to substitute loyalty to him for their patriotism itself.
"Louisiana voters took a significant step to the right on Saturday, as Republicans notched wins up and down the ballot, giving their party an outside chance of sweeping to power just ahead of a crucial redistricting cycle that could cement their control of the state for years to come.
Amid record turnout for what is usually a sleepy off-year, irregular election, Louisiana Republicans locked up enough seats in the state Senate to amount to a super majority. The party came within seven seats of winning a super majority in the state House, too, with eight runoff elections to come in November."
Trump Will No Longer Host G7 at His Resort October 19, 2019 at 10:14 pm EDT
President Trump said that he would no longer be holding next year’s Group of Seven summit at his luxury golf club near Miami, citing what he said was “irrational” criticism that the choice would enrich his family business.
Said Trump: “I thought I was doing something very good for our country by using Trump National Doral, in Miami, for hosting the G-7 leaders. But, as usual, the hostile media & Democrat partners went CRAZY!” ______________
Er... Mr. President In Name Only, a lot of Republicans also registered their "irrational" objection to your constant and continuing ways of violating the emolument prohibitions of your office by enriching yourself and your family in that way.
After talking about it for months, Trump scraps DORAL for G7 site after two days of heavy criticism. Says Camp David, which was last US site and used by President Obama, is now under consideration. https://t.co/Yiww8pKXVB
Washington Post: “The decision — while it lasted — was an unprecedented one in modern American politics: The president awarded a massive contract to himself. The White House promoted Doral as the single best venue in all of the United States to host the G-7 next June, and the summit would have brought thousands of guests in the offseason to a resort that is struggling financially.” __________
MY, my. Why would Trump cancel so self sacrificial an arrangement?
MY, my. Why would Trump cancel so self sacrificial an arrangement?
Bottom line, even the great features of Doral that made it a perfect place to hold the G7 summit wasn't worth the headache generated by the Media and Democrats.
There is now there is talk about how they overreacted. Too late for the people in Miami.

Trump uninvites to Doral site for G-7 summit

Current Moody's Analytics projects a Trump 2020 electoral victory of 332-206. Just think how much greater it can be if he gets above 42 %
And the trend is definitely his friend.
ROFLMFAO !!!
