Jeff Zucker in new CNN book: 'I don't think Donald Trump ever thought' he would win GOP nomination - POLITICO

That was part of it, but a bigger part was that he saw something wrong, and he decided to try to do something about it even though the odds were not good because he loves a challenge,,,,He was bored with his day job. However the establishment was far more rotted out than he or most anyone else expected, it gave way when he started pushing.

He might be very great at this though, and he has already done so much for this nation by proving the rot of the DC ELITE, both the R and the D Divisions.
 
Jeff Zucker is a hardcore DNC fluffer. I don't trust a damn thing he has to say.

He drained the swamp, by putting in more swamp dwellers. Right after paying Putin to steal the election for him*.

Great way to remove the rot. Right. Another way to put it is " out of the frying pan, into the fire".


* Basically another form of corruption - and the swamp needed to be drained because it had been proven to be corrupt to its intended purpose.

Now that's just plain stupid. We don't know the effect of any of the attacks, or even all that much about precisely what they were. That's what the investigation is for. They've hacked both Ds and Rs.



As for "paid"? Evidence?

But only published the D emails thru wikileaks. Really wondering what the effect of the attacks are ? lolol

The evidence that Trump directly colluded with Putin will be forthcoming. Watch the news.

I read the news because nothing on TV is news. That aside, it is very foolish to make a factual claim that Trump paid Putin to steal the election. There are at least three things you couldn't possibly have a factual basis for saying within that one assertion, and that's at first glance.

It's no better than Trumpsters claiming that it's all BS.




The entire purpose of the investigation is to figure out what actually did happen, what effects it may have had, and whether anyone on the US side was culpable.
 

Trump is worth 4.5 billion. Putin? 200 billion. :roll:

Power is always going to be more important than money. The power to kill, specifically. What I call real power. A 20 cent bullet can make your 4.5 billion fortune worthless at 2000 yards.

Putin has real power.

Anyway, your point is correct, that Putin does not need money. Trump has paid for his help with, shall way say, 'performance guarantees'. Trump (or more likely someone in in the inner circle) tried to .**** around with this, which is why Russia's deputy foreign minister was instructed to issue a statement to the US media 2 days after the election, that they had been in touch with the trump campaign throughout the campaign.

This is something that trump had repeatedly denied throughout the campaign. He was asked numerous times. Russia was silent then. Why open their mouths two days after the election ?

This was not a leaked statement, nor one from some low level official. It wasn't a 'gotcha' comment extracted by a persistent journalist either. It was fully intended to be released. It was Putin telling Trump to behave. Or else.

But this is the problem with those who win big. Firstly, they anticipate that they will win big, LONG before they actually do. Understandable, because you've thought of such a brilliant strategy that you know you're going to make it. Secondly, they luxuriate in the tremendous victory after they've actually won. Both these factors lead to serious carelessness and lapses in judgment. All that stuff leaves clues that can be detected by someone looking for them.

And Putin - he is not a popular man to those who know him. His administration has been infiltrated big league, by russian patriots tired of one man and his cronies essentially looting their land's greatest natural resources. After they'd already been ripped off by the communists for nearly 3 generations.

Have confidence in our patriots. Watch the news in the coming days. The evidence will be forthcoming.
 

Shall we say, you are making **** up.
 

What will you say "if and when" your accusations are proved false?

If is very different from when.

Absence of evidence is not the same as evidence of absence.

Look its very simple. Nothing can be actionable without evidence which itself is verified as authentic. That is inherent in our nation's ethos. Lets say someone produces doctored evidence of trump colluding with Putin to help him with the election. Trump is not going to back down (nor should he). He will fight it and he has the experts to help him verify the veracity of evidence.

However, when genuine evidence is produced, then that will be the end of Trump's candidacy, and probably the Republican party. Because, they knew that it stinked like Russian **** for more than a month and kept mum about it even though, being their candidate, they had the first duty to put the country first, do the overwhelmingly honourable thing and publicise it.

I'm not sure if HRC will be able to pardon treason but she may have no choice for the sake of the country's stability. I suspect for the sake of stability, she WON'T be able to pardon him. The country will demand blood.

Thinking about it (and I'm purely speculating here), it will be far more likely that the evidence is presented to Trump privately and he makes a public statement that he and pence are quitting, after a private meeting where he directs the electors and the house to vote in HRC as No45. There are times where an injustice needs to be tolerated for the greater good.

There will be some kind of further unofficial sanction for him and his family, but it will not be crippling. He will fade into the background.

Mike Pence will be likely be given the SOS. If not him than Romney. It will be the absolution the GOP needs. That will help the country move along. Unfortunately, at this time, neither party can be dispensed with. They need to be a check and balance on each other. HRC understands this.
