Of Clinton, for whom his campaign prescription had been a special prosecutor and imprisonment, he said, “She went through a lot. And suffered greatly in many different ways. And I am not looking to hurt them at all.”

On the Paris agreement to reduce climate change, which he had threatened to tear up, Trump said he now has an “open mind” and sees “some connectivity” between climate change and human activity. About waterboarding, which he had advocated, he suddenly discovered Mattis’s wisdom that “a pack of cigarettes and a couple of beers” work better in getting information.

We know what’s going on here: Trump took inflammatory positions during the campaign, which appealed to people’s basest instincts and fears, because he thought they would help him get elected.

You've been suckered, TJ. That said, I'm not surprised that you found a vulgar blowhard appealing.

I've been suckered?

I'm the one who said Trump is not nearly the Ogre he's been made out to be.

So he's backing off on prosecuting Clinton, climate change, and waterboarding. All good things. So whose been suckered? It ain't me Skippy.

That is quite a bit different than groping someone without consent, which is what trump has admitted to and has done on several occasions and which has been verified by witnesses.

Sexual assault is not ok no matter what political party one belongs to.

That you are defending sexual assault says a lot about you.

Trump won the white women vote over Hillary by a 53-43 margin. So does that mean they were defending sexual assault too?

Proof that the leadership of the Democratic Party has learned nothing from this election debacle.

But then I already knew that.

Jesus Christ!

I just looked it up and when Pelosi became the leader in 2006 the Democrats had 233 seats in the house. They are now down to 188.

Do you know when the last time Democrats had that few house seats?

1947

Way to go Nance!

She probably needs the money for another face lift.
I still recall the fund raising letter from the DNC leading with "we need to put the gavel back in Nancy Pelosi's hand............." back in 2008.

Y'all may not like Pelosi but anyone would be a better bet than that Ayn Rand disciple Ryan, his monetary ideas are sheer idiocy.

You're thinking of Paul Ryan, who is a Republican.

It was Tim Ryan, who is a Democrat who was challenging her for the position of minority leader in the House.
