The Trump Speech Republicans Are Pretending Didn’t Happen

Donald Trump’s address about election integrity won’t help his party win elections.

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump’s White House praised his speech on Thursday night — laced with false statements and conspiratorial language about American elections — as a historic address that revealed critical information and fueled the push for must-pass legislation.

On the other hand, the leading Republicans in Congress, Senate Majority Leader John Thune (S.D.) and House Speaker Mike Johnson (La.), did not release statements in response to the speech.

Even Trump’s favorite morning show, “Fox and Friends,” aired for three hours on Friday without ever mentioning the address.

While some conservative Republicans lauded Trump’s speech, the silence of party leadership drives home the gap between the personal obsessions now dominating Trump’s presidency and the economic concerns the GOP desperately hopes Trump will focus on ahead of the midterm elections. 

Instead, Trump talked about the “Deep State” supposedly covering up Chinese efforts to meddle in U.S. elections and the urgent need for Congress to pass an election reform bill addressing the supposed threat of voter fraud. Senate Republicans have already rejected the bill repeatedly, and even Republican election administrators say there’s no use for it.

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the...

Not sure why,

BUT, am still wearing the necklace. Has been a tradition, for over 30 years, to wear the necklace, 'for awhile', until I lose the feeling, of the beach, in Mexico. Can't say why, but, still have it on. "Tis a sad day, when I take it off, and am not ready to go there, yet. Don't ask. 'Tis an old tradition...

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Just wait 'til Bonehead leads us all over the cliff, to save his 2% buddies having to pay a little higher tax. The Pubs keep thinking the American public is stupid, and they can get away with their phony political crap. They keep forgetting we're not all a bunch of FOXNews sheep, who'll swallow whatever swill is shoveled to them. A once proud party, like a beast in it's death throes, striking out to harm whatever's close, threatening to shut the gov't down, (again), over the debt limit, which is just paying the bills they already ran up. Political hacks, pretending to be patriots. So sad...
