Jeb suddenly seems... fine?
"Politician" is the occupational equivalent of "Florida".

Jeb's a creature of the donor class. He's bad on a whole different axis.

I've often wondered why anyone would support Ted Cruz. He seems to be the worst of everything and completely lacking in charisma as a finishing touch.

It's because Ted Cruz says if elected he'll stone the adultress to death just like Jesus would.  This is very appealing to some because they also want to stone her to death.

Personally what I found most surprising was that Rubio's supporters were worse then Trumps.

The House majority whip, Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA), is among those shot by a gunman at the Republican practice for the Congressional baseball game. He, along with the others shot, are expected to make a full recovery.

The gunman, who was shot by police and died of his wounds, is reportedly someone who volunteered Sen. Bernie Sanders' (I-VT) presidential campaign.

Sen. Sanders has condemned the shooter's actions.

Does anyone take Donald Trump seriously, anymore?

And apparently his aides are having to talk him out of firing said special investigator.

If he tried to fire the special investigator, he'd look guiltier than Nixon...

The special investigator that, if I remember correctly, he doesn't have the authority to fire in the first place. So yeah, if he tries to fire him, all it will do is add evidence to the obstruction of justice investigation.

He has no idea the optics on that.  No idea at all.

Ironbite-I think if Ossoff wins next week the GOP will start floating the idea of impeachment.

But I think the deputy AG can fire the special investigator, and Trump can fire the deputy AG...

That would require someone in that job with a functioning brain.

Certainly what I'd do if I was stuck as an Intelligence / Managing Agent for the Administration - get the Deputy Attorney General to fire him, and then dig up / create a scandal on the DAG; maybe sneak incriminating photos such as child pornography on to his computer, and make it look like the Special Investigator was also on to the DAG via Fox News "Special Report".

https://apnews.com/b5383189b4dc4dea94890f13846c2639/AP-sources:-Trump-tells-senators-House-health-bill-'mean

Quote
One source said Trump called the House bill “mean, mean, mean” and said, “We need to be more generous, more kind.” The other source said Trump used a vulgarity to describe the House bill and told the senators, “We need to be more generous.”

Either he realizes that taking healthcare away from people will hurt his image and legacy (it will affect white people, too, after all) or there really is a tiny island of empathy in the sea of his egomania. I would be surprised if the republicans failed to convince him to sign any bill they put in front of him, though. It's not like he bothers to read through them so they can use lies if necessary.

Because he is a fucking moron who thinks he can one-up Obama by destroying "Obamacare" and replacing it with "Trumpcare". I don't know what is bothering him in the Republican plan and the AP's sources didn't specify it either. It's possible that he genuinely thought that the Republican plan would be more popular than ACA and it's so bad that its horribleness got through his thick skull and limited understanding when it was described to him.
