UNHINGED....Trump goes off on Nancy, Schiff, Democrats, and the Whistleblower...

At his Dallas rally last night, Donald Trump went on an off-scripted diatribe on all that has been happening at this not-so-good-week.

In Dallas, Trump Unleashes Wrath On Democrats As Impeachment Inquiry Finds Foothold. Earlier in the day, acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney confirmed Trump ordered military aid to Ukraine to be put on hold. He later denied those remarks.

President Donald Trump raged against Democrats and the House impeachment inquiry during his campaign rally Thursday in Dallas, arguing that the Democratic Party, including 2020 presidential rival Joe Biden, had “betrayed our country.”

“At stake in this fight is the survival of American democracy itself. Don’t kid yourself,” Trump, largely going off-script, told supporters at American Airlines Arena. “They are destroying this country, but we will never let it happen, not even close. For three straight years, radical Democrats have been trying to overthrow the results of a great, great election.”

The president has been on the defense in recent weeks as a parade of former administration officials have spoken to House investigators, shedding new light on Trump’s demands that Ukraine investigate political rival Biden and his son. Lawmakers have fired off a slate of subpoenas to interview current and former diplomats and administration officials in recent weeks, and, despite the White House’s efforts to keep them from testifying, they have been talking at length.

Although I don't quite mean the same thing by it as he does.

Trump over Clinton 2016...306 to 232


Obama over McCain 2008....365 to 173

Obama over Romney 2012..332 to 206


I appears Mitt Romney did slightly better than John McCain in garnering Electoral votes. Hillary Clinton did BETTER than they did in her bid for the White House, though lost in the Electoral College.


But then, Trump SUCKS at Math.

He always tells us what he is up to, right there in plain site. When he uses overthrow, well, take him seriously.

Too bad his sombulent zombies are not able to parse that and see the projection. He counts on their density.

Is that why he doesn't want anyone to answer their subpoenas?

Why is he so afraid of the truth if he is so concerned about our "democracy"?

People that can think for themselves can see that Mr Trump makes no sense.
