I guess this anti-Kaerpnick rambling helps his approvals among many white voters. Was the new poll that had him at 40% conducted after those comments?

Serious question: does Trump know Puerto Rico is part of America? Because the lack of any movement in that area leads me to believe he doesn't.

I'm just waiting for the tweet about Puerto Rico not being part of America.

I doubt it. Though it isn't like he would care even if he did know. It isn't like they have a say in how the federal government works.

That poll wouldn't have accounted for this yet.

The Puerto Rican devastation is really serious, especially because it's become a lot more difficult to bring supplies and aid personnel to the island.

My dad, an NPR reporter, has been trying for three days to fly over but the San Juan airport can only accept a handful of flights a day.

All of these people supporting Trump and booing and facebook posting about black athletes taking a knee probably don't even take the time to wipe the cheeto and dorito dust off their hands and shirts to stand up from their couches when the anthem plays.

Based on the people that appeared on my Facebook feed this morning posting articles how players kneeling is ruining their Sunday’s and football I think your assessment is correct.

Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton
President Trump, Sec. Mattis, and DOD should send the Navy, including the USNS Comfort, to Puerto Rico now. These are American citizens.



At least someone knows.

Here we go. Rand saying if they cut block grants in half he may vote for it. He is a yes.

Lol there it is. There has to be a good chance of Alaska getting a deal out of this

I wonder if such a bill would be good enough for Cruz

That's a HUGE change. They make that and they lose every single moderate. There's no way that happens.

 

[Ogodei]

Meh, i feel like that's a hard sell, especially because that would make it worse for every single state (except for the Alaska/Hawaii carveout). I think he's just making crazy demands again.

Again, Murkowski is immune to GOP crazies primary pressure because she can ditch the party and survive, same as Collins.

 

[Diablos]

Again, they might have a deal with Murkowski

Then she should stop being so quiet. A statement would be useful

Wasn't Republican moderates a myth?

 

[Y2Kev]

Not to interrupt the chain of "o snaps i called it" (and Rand sucks) but that's akin to saying he'd vote for something totally different. That really changes fundamentally the funding structure of Medicaid (which already is getting gutted).

 

[BoboBrazil]

Trump already tweeted Lisa M is on board.

 

[JettDash]

Him saying that he might vote for it if they make the bill much worse doesn't make him a yes. He knows they aren't going to cut the block grants in half.

 

[Diablos]

A hard No just gets Trump pissed off and on their doorstep.

If McCain is still a no, they are too.

 

[Wilsongt]

Jesus christ.

Kneeling in protest is bad.

Kneeling is pray is good!

This country's values are so fucked.

 

[Pusha_93]

According to CMS, thirty-one states are already facing deep cuts. Then he wants to add cuts onto those to everybody. That's not happening.

And if Murkowski gets a deal to be immune to those cuts, everybody other state that's losing money is gonna want that too.

 

[BoogieWoogie]

That's a HUGE change. They make that and they lose every single moderate. There's no way that happens.

Moderates will shovel whatever shit is given to them, which has been abundantly clear with the previous votes.

 

[Plinko]

They're putting out a new bill tomorrow.

 

[kirblar]

Trump accidentally reframing the knee protests as a free speech issue was very good for the protesters.

 

[Mac_Lane]

Trump already tweeted Lisa M is on board.

God I hope he's wrong about that. Why the hell would she vote for that awful bill ?

 

[Zolo]

Is the debate on CNN still happening?

 

[eBay Huckster]

Trump already tweeted Lisa M is on board.

Trump tweets a lot of things.

 

[BoboBrazil]

God I hope he's wrong about that. Why the hell would she vote for that awful bill ?

Well he tweeted Lisa M comes through. It's still up in the air what he actually meant. Republicans will push something through to get that donor money.

 

[Pusha_93]

Trump tweets a lot of things.

Right, now we believe Trump. If they a Lisa, Paul wouldn't even be in the conversation. They would be using that to work Collins

 

[Y2Kev]

I don't think Lisa M is on board.

 

[BoboBrazil]

Bernie Sanders will scare Republicans into voting for the cassidy/Graham bill tomorrow night after he goes on a single payer tirade.

Diablosing is a state of mind.

Like come the fuck on. Rand Paul will sneeze and there'll be five posts here like "oh, there it is!"

I can only assume at some point that some of you actually want this shit to pass and are actively cheerleading for it.

 

[Kusagari]

This panicking about Murkowski is absurd.

It's literally the exact same setup as last time with her being mum and them trying to bribe her.

Rand and the others I get, but there's no reason to panic about Murkowski unless she gives a true indication she'll vote for it.

 

[BoboBrazil]

Why hasn't Lisa M come out and said she is against it then? It's an easy thing to say no.

 

[Tamanon]

Also, you can't really bribe Rand Paul and Lisa Murkowski at the same time. They have opposite concerns with the bill.

 

[JettDash]

Well there is a new bill coming

They can't write a bill that is terrible enough for him while gaining Murkowski and losing nobody.

Let's be fair--Paul saying that he'd vote for it if they cut block grants more is not "sneezing."

That said, I think the Murkowski stuff is more her trying not to take direct heat from Trump as opposed to her leaning yes.
