Discussion: WaPo: Before Inauguration, Trump Asked Heitkamp To ‘Switch Parties’

My Now-Maddow-watching once-republican mother says, “Who would even visit with him? He makes my skin crawl. Everything I’ve used in my daily life for 80 years to keep clear of dangerous people goes off like a fire alarm when I see or hear him. How did this happen?”

I am thinking the 80 year olds will be a big part of the wave.

Appending your name with a (D) does not make you a Democrat. It’s like attaching “PhD” to your name for having earned one in Evolutionary Biology from Liberty University.

How’d that work out for ya, “Art of the Deal” guy?

If this is the kind of “conservative” Democrat that wins in places like ND then I’m all in support for her, as long as she caucuses with Dems for votes that really matter.

and even agrees with his policy on issues like fighting for “working people,” she told the Post.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Hahahahaha hohoho! Whew.

Oh, you meant pretending to fight for working people. Sorry, didn’t see the wink at first.

Sen Heitkamp became suspicious on a later occasion when President Trump offered to take her furniture shopping.

Well, that kind of moderation was fine for 1987. We’re in a war now and my version of moderation is if we take you prisoner we’ll be merciful and make it quick. I was raised by impatient, judgmental people and that’s about the best I can do.

Yer goddam right we will, Buster! (Okay, so I’m a couple years shy of the mark, and only ever voted for one R, who returned briefly to the national stage in 2016 as sidekick to the somewhat addled ex-gov of New Mexico, but you get my Drift.)

[/quote] I agree. It’s time a couple of Republicans who aren’t running for re-election switch to Independent and caucus with the Democrats to protect Mueller. Get that traitor McConnell out of the way.

Shit. To vote for her or Manchin, I wouldn’t have to hold my nose. I’d have to cut my frikkin head off!

Do it Heidi.You’re a piece of shit anyway.

Appending your name with a (D) makes you a Democrat in every sense of the word that matters right now. In fact, it’s the only thing that matters.

As long as you’d do it, that’s all that matters.

Yeah, and a teen girl should shut up about her sexual abuser since he’s paying the rent and utilities.

It might be fine in 2018 if it gets her elected in her state and helps to flp the Senate…just sayin’ :wink:

That’s an interesting analogy. Utter BS, but interesting.

Any (D) will not vote for Yertle as Majority Leader. Any (D) will help create a Democratic majority. Any (D) will allow Democrats to control the Senate. So any (D) is just fine with me.

You can have your purity later, but right now there’s work to be done.

Not that he isn’t in a constant state of delusion, but wow. Guess he thought he was going to be able to sway her with his animal magnetism. What an utter dumbfuck.

And lets not forget the strange bizarre crypto Republican Tulsi Gabbard, who also made the pilgrimage to Trump Tower to kiss his ring, and conducted a secret Middle East fact finding mission in her efforts to become one of his “bi-partisan” Cabinet Officers.
