One last try. Read slowly this time.

I think you're only really exposing how fickle and goldfish brained you are when it comes to politics.

You simpleton.

1. How long do you think this new renegade status will last?

2. Will Trump capitalizing on this opportunity have negative consequences for congress?

3. If so, how long will congress have to eat Trump's ****?

1. Instant damage control for Trump's transition.

2. Hardly. Tomorrow the news and public outcry will be over the breaking news about "the Wall" That and the recent Macy's debacle.

3. *blink* it's already ancient history. GOP lawmakers are already doing the nightly network cycle and doing spin control on Trump's behalf over his massive flip flop today.

Is this your way of saying that Donald Trump has won you over or something? Because you are really putting waaaaaay too much faith into this turning out like you say.

So... this has had no effect on the public's perception of Trump, nor did Trump even try to capitalize on it?

I posted about the GOP move and then the next morning I had a bunch of Trump supporters all over about how their boy stepped in and saved the day. That's what actually got me thinking about it.

Let's talk about how you, me, and Frown will now be paying for the Wall.

How did Trump save the day?

Seriously? Huge public and political outcry over the proposed ethics gut and Trumps get the GOP to back down.

Top story tonight is the US now knows who turned over the hacked DNC emails to Russia. This'll be interesting over the next few days.

I don't watch much news. What did Trump do?
