I think he is corrupt, I think he has hired corrupt people, I think he isn't good at governing and he has hired people that aren't good at their jobs, either. But, instead of focusing on Mueller we (my side of the aisle) should be focusing on the policies the people want. Trump ran on a platform he can't fulfill because it doesn't really mesh with either party. If we look at what his talking points were that were popular and see what we can run on, saying that if we take Congress we can make it happen and actually provide Congressional oversight to the Executive as the Constitution intended, then we can do something.
Putting our hopes and dreams in Mueller or impeachment is a fool's errand. Win elections, earn the right to govern, that is how we do it. Disagree with his and the GOP's policies all day long, but leave it at that. The rest is a soap opera.
Always nice to find common ground, even when it’s small.
Trump is having success in foreign policy which will hurt the Democrats. If NK denuke’s and this new Middle East coalition steps up then Trump and the gop will have a pretty good case. Along with the regulatory reforms. I know you do not like these policies but most of normal ordinary America does.
I don’t pretend to believe anyone is pure. Especially billionaires with teams of lawyers. The same goes for these democrats and their use of the fbi, and other parts of the government to target political enemies. Misuse of government resources is a massive problem that will certainly net both democrats and republicans
