There are so many women that have the experience and are capable to doing that job. How can she sit there and talk about women getting ahead when she's only where she is because of her daddy's money??

Actually, AcrossthePond55, I'm curious.
Which agenda do you think Democrats are being unreasonable about and should compromise on?

Should they agree to set billions for the wall?
Agree to less health care coverage and to let pre-existing conditions out?

Less corporate tax? Some people think this is a good idea, but how to make up the lost revenue?
Trump seems to want all of these at the same time.

Surely it would be fine if Trump was willing to drop the wall and to maintain health care cover. Then any tax cuts wouldn't be so bad.

Just got hold of the claims the Trump team plans to make re his 1st 100 days. They plan to say he's accomplished more than FDR. Seriously.

Here's part one, in which they brag about using CRA resolutions, which as you know were a key Trump campaign promise. LOL pic.twitter.com/B7KFCC00pm

More: Trump will crow about something Repubs used to hate: executive orders. Literally the NUMBER of them, to claim he's greater than FDR: pic.twitter.com/VASx2lhf0l

And for their next act: Team Trump will claim he worked to "pass more legislation in his first 100 days than any President since Truman"! pic.twitter.com/XpIxI75siz

These people aim high. They're going to try and claim, with straight faces, that Donald Trump is already greater than FDR AND Truman.

Of course, he has bigly numbers of executive orders!

Analysis: Betsy DeVos said, "There isn’t really any Common Core any more." Um, yes, there is. wapo.st/2q2DZFL

What were these laws - or did he just 'work with Congress' to attempt to pass them?

Not many presidents pass significant legislation in their first 100 days and there's a reason for that.
And for Trump's inability to pass his healthcare bill within this period.

It's bigly complicated.

interesting. Now that Chaffetz has said he's not standing again, he's all of a sudden gung ho and going after Flynn and demanding answers. What's up? Nothing to lose now ??

He's a young man.

That is interesting.
I expect that he was being threatened by GOP and the White House, and he sent them a message that he's a free agent.
It depends on whether he's going after Flynn as a scapegoat or it's just the start.
It may well pay off and he may end up in a good position to go for re-election.
