Or as Rachel Maddow calculated it, 32 million people losing all health care is equal to the entire populations of:
Nevada
Idaho
Montana
Wyoming
North Dakota
South Dakota
Nebraska
Kansas
New Mexico
Arkansas
Mississippi
West Virginia
Vermont
Maine
New Hamshire
Rhode Island
It makes more sense why Trump is trying to distract the public with the whole Joe Scarborough feud because otherwise they would see this for what it is!
The statistics and States are quoted directly from the Rachel Maddow Show on MSNBC on Friday June 30th 2017.
I actually Agree here with Piers Morgan now of the Daily Mail in this. The Reason for this is Trump is no gentleman. Think back on all U.S. presidents carefully of this and the last century. They were all gentlemen in many ways (even JFK) who slept with over 100 women while he was in the White House including with Marilyn Monroe. But, what they had in common was that they were gentlemen even Nixon and they all (in the end) put the nation before themselves. Trump is the first exception to this.
Trump is no gentleman as we can see from everything he does. Legally, he was a warrior and harms everyone who works for him with the law. Why would any Republican or Democrat think he would be different than this? If it walks like a Duck it's usually a Duck. Trump is no gentleman and people are surprised? Study his business techniques and all the suffering people who once worked for him who have gone bankrupt. Trump is definitely no gentleman and most people on earth would also call what he does Criminal. And it has been that way since the 1970s by the way.
The more the dismal deluded Democrats scream about Trump
in the media bubble, the more he keeps winning in the REAL world.
Here's ten things the four-time losers need do to beat him
‘Democrats lose again (0-4),’ gloated President Donald Trump last night after his party won Georgia’s vacant 6th Congressional District.
Then he added an extra ball-spiking slam: ‘Total disarray.’
Unlike some of Trump’s public statements, this was one that no Democrat could legitimately contest for factual accuracy.
They really HAVE lost all four special House elections since he won the White House.
And they really ARE in total disarray.
I’ve
spent the past few months warning liberals their constant hysterical
behaviour in relation to Trump would backfire and simply strengthen his
position.

'Total disarray': Trump celebrated last night's devastating defeat for Democrats
Weeping, wailing and marching every time he breaks wind isn’t going to work.
Now we are beginning to see hard ballot box proof of this theory.
Make no mistake, last night’s defeat was a devastating one for the Democrats.
It
was a seat they were convinced they could win because Trump only
carried Georgia’s 6th District by a tiny 1.5% margin in the general
election.
Democrat candidate Jon Ossoff
amassed a vast campaigning war chest of $23.6 million and the party
threw its full national and local force behind him.
Osoff even arrogantly boasted he was going to ‘send a message’ to Trump.
This
was going to be a referendum on America’s most divisive ever president;
the first big success for the frenzied anti-Trump ‘Resistance’
movement.
He, Jon Ossoff, was going to smack Trump in the political nose and be a hero to his fellow Democrats.
Only…he lost.
Badly.
Republican candidate Karen Handel won by a sizeable 4-point margin, having spent just $4 million.
And by doing so, she ensured Trump won again too.
His
personal approval rating may be very low, but his ability to win
elections at any level of US democracy remains impressively invincible.
Republicans control the White House, the Senate and the House, and have thus rarely been more powerful.
The
Democrats, by contrast, have never been in a weaker position in their
entire modern history. And a lot of that is down to Barack Obama.
As
Rolling Stone reported this week, during Obama’s two terms the party
lost 13 governorships and their control of state legislatures collapsed
from six in 10 to now one in three.
+4
One of Jon Ossoff's supporters can;t hide her disappointment after his defeat last night
Across federal and state government, Democrats have lost nearly 1000 seats!
This is about as bad as it gets.
So what can be done about this dire Democrat demise?
Well, here are my 10 suggestions for how they can sort their s**t out:
1)
Dump Hillary. Every time their failed candidate pops up to whine about
her loss, they drain more support. I’ve seen some bad losers in my time
but Mrs Clinton is right up there with the very worst. She’s blamed
everything and everyone from Putin to Comey, and she just won’t shut up
about it. The Democrats need to send Hillary to political Siberia for
her own sake as much as theirs.
2) Stop
abusing Trump. The self-styled ‘smart crowd’ in New York and LA think
it’s oh so clever to keep mocking and insulting the President. Yet as
last night’s result showed, real America – the one between those two
large liberal conclaves – doesn’t like it. And they will turn out in big
numbers to affirm their irritation.
3)
Find a leader. The Democrats are completely rudderless at the moment.
They desperately need a fresh face and voice to re-ignite their base.
That face can be black, white, male, female, young, not-so-young, thin,
fat. It doesn’t matter who it is, so long as he or she presents a
dynamic new image for the party.
4) Get
positive. The Democrats lost the general election because they spent
the entire time delivering dire warnings of how awful Trump would be in
the unthinkable event of him actually winning. He, meanwhile, focused on
big, bold, simple messaging led by his vow to Make America Great Again.
It was brilliant marketing, and it worked. Millions of Americans
believed then, and still believe, that Trump can cut through the usual
political nonsense to improve their lives. The Democrats must now offer
their own positive vision for America, and do it in a way that resonates
with the public.
5) Be inclusive. One
of the rare Democrat success stories is Rep. Cheri Bustos, who won her
district in Illinois last November by a whopping 20-point margin. She
has urged her colleagues to hear out Trump supporters rather than
ridicule them. ‘People want to feel they’re being listened to,’ she told
The Christian Science Monitor, ‘that they haven’t been forgotten.’
Democrats, she added, ‘need to stop acting like everyone else is a
villain.’ When asked to describe a Trump voter, she responded: ‘They’re
regular people.’ Meryl Streep might howl with fury at that comment, but
that is why Cheri Bustos won big.
6)
Get out into the heartland. The NY & LA bubble is so incredibly
dangerous for all Democrats. I would say that 95% of all US mainstream
media is slavishly devoted to hating Trump. It spews from their every
pore in a 24/7 cycle of derision, and it drives huge ratings and
circulation. It’s making them all very rich, be it CNN, the New York
Times or Stephen Colbert. But I’ve spent a lot of time filming in states
like Texas and Florida in the past two years and trust me, they view
Trump in an entirely different way. To defeat him, you must first
understand his appeal. To do that, you must go to the places that voted
for him and speak to those who bought into him.
7)
Stand for something, and mean it. Everybody knows what Trump stands for
because he’s banged the drum for his core issues - like The Wall,
bringing back outsourced jobs and his travel ban - more times than
Charlie Watts has banged his for the Rolling Stones. I honestly haven’t
got a clue what the Democrats currently believe really matters to either
themselves or Americans. And that’s a big problem when you’re trying to
beat one of the most skilled brand-managers in American political
history.

8) Tell your celebrity fans
to shut the **** up. The constant smug, superior, belittling rhetoric
that pours out from famous liberals on social media is utterly
self-defeating. I know it makes you all feel good when halfwits like
Madonna or quarterwits like Chrissy Tiegen tear into Trump on Twitter.
But it just serves to remind everyone the Democrats are the party for
wealthy, privileged stars who haven’t got a monkey’s cuss how the real
world lives or works. Trump is despised by most celebrities, yet adored
by tens of millions of working class Americans. And he’s living at the
White House. Do the math.
9) Do deals
with the Republicans. Yes, I’m serious. Americans are sick and tired of
intransigent Washington politicians obstructing each other. So do the
right thing and work with Trump and his team on big, important stuff
like healthcare - for the good of the country. I know it will make you
puke, but that’s the price you pay for losing. The upside is the
American people will see a Democrat Party putting them before itself,
and that, I guarantee you, will improve your popularity.
10)Learn
to win again. Anywhere. And do it on any agenda other than
Trump-bashing. Winning is a habit and the Democrats need to pour
resources and the right people into doing it again. ‘I don’t like
losers,’ Trump said in his book Art of the Deal. Then he elaborated:
‘There are people - I categorize them as life’s losers - who get their
sense of accomplishment and achievement from trying to stop others. If
they had any real ability they wouldn’t be fighting me, they’d be doing
something constructive themselves.’ He’s right. Though I suspect if I
asked him his view of losers today, he’d reply that in the case of the
Democrats he’d amend it to read: ‘I don’t like these losers, I LOVE
them!’
When
President Trump tweets crude and vulgar attacks against Mika
Brzezinski, he is trying to bully and intimidate a member of the free
press in the hope the media will back off its reporting of scandals
surrounding his presidency.
When Trump offers crude and false
attacks against a former FBI director while that individual is
investigating the Putingate scandal and when he tries to paint seeds of
doubt against the special counsel who is investigating that same
scandal, he is trying to bully and intimidate legal and law enforcement
authorities in the hope they will back off investigations and let
potential wrongdoers off the hook.
There
is a pattern to Trump's behavior, learned at the foot of his former
mentor Roy Cohn, who first made his name by attacking the patriotism of
good Americans during the days of the discredited demagogue Senator
Joseph McCarthy.
Trump's pattern of behavior is to attack,
insult, berate or try to humiliate those who question him, in an attempt
to bully them into submission. In the case of his attacks against the
free press, Trump, like many dictators, calls them the enemies of the
people, hoping they will be afraid to report real news. He is wrong.
They will not be.
In the case of his attacks against those who
investigate the crimes of a Russian dictator against American democracy,
Trump hopes to bully them into curtailing their investigations. He is
wrong. They will not stop.
Trump's attack against Mika Brzezinski
follows the pattern of his attack against former FBI Director James
Comey. The former attack is crude, sexist and vulgar behavior. The
latter attack constitutes highly-probative evidence for a potential case
against him of obstruction of justice.
Without any doubt, based
on publicly known facts, Trump is guilty of obstruction of justice as it
is defined under law and was defined in an article of impeachment
passed by the House of Representatives against President Richard Nixon.
There
is very little doubt that Trump will grant a preemptive pardon to
associates now under investigation by the special counsel. It is also
likely that Special Counsel Robert Mueller will ultimately seek an
indictment of Trump for obstruction of justice. Undoubtedly, Trump will
ultimately try to fire both Special Counsel Mueller and Deputy Attorney
General Rod Rosenstein.
Beyond potential obstruction of justice,
serious people concerned about American security should ask why there
are persistent public reports that the director of the National Security
Agency and other administration officials are worried about the
complete lack of interest by the president in exposing and punishing
Russian cyberwar against America.
There is a clear pattern to Trump's behavior that attempts to obstruct those who investigate the Putingate scandal.
First,
he tries to establish a false friendship with them, using soothing
words in seeking to influence their investigation. Then, when that
fails, Trump asks them for personal loyalty to him above all other legal
and patriotic considerations, suggesting they should clear the cloud
over his presidency by curtailing their investigation.
Next, when
that fails, Trump and his fiercest defenders make aggressive public
attacks against them, seeking to sow seeds of doubt about them and
escalate his efforts to intimidate and bully them into curtailing their
investigation. Finally, when that fails, Trump fires them.
The
nationally-respected U.S. Attorney from New York Preet Bharara was first
courted and then fired by Trump. Acting Attorney General Sally Yates,
who wisely and courageously tried to warn the White House that the
president's national security advisor had lied about Russia and was in
danger of being blackmailed by the Russians, was fired by Trump. FBI
Director James Comey was first praised and courted by Trump, then
criticized and attacked by Trump and then fired by Trump.
Was
Trump lying when he hinted he might have taped his conversations with
Comey, which was a crude attempt to threaten and intimidate a material
witness in a criminal investigation? Or is he lying now when he claims
no tapes exist, because such tapes could be decisive evidence in a
potential criminal case?
While Russian intelligence is attacking
American democracy and American intelligence is trying to find the
evidence of their deeds and defend our nation from them, the president
first attacks American intelligence by comparing them to Nazi Germany,
then demonstrates no interest in learning the facts they find or
defending our nation from the Russian crimes they battle to protect our
democracy against.
When Trump tweets crude and vulgar words to
attack Mika Brzezinski, he soils the presidency with behavior that
resembles a juvenile delinquent in urgent need of counseling, not a
president who is fit to lead the nation.
When Trump uses similar
tactics to insult, pressure, threaten, bully, intimidate and ultimately
fire successive leaders of investigations of Russian crimes against
America, and when he employs these tactics to bully and threaten
material witnesses to these crimes, he is stacking the deck with
evidence of obstruction of justice. Brent Budowsky was an aide
to former Sen. Lloyd Bentsen (D-Texas) and Rep. Bill Alexander
(D-Ark.), then-chief deputy majority whip of the House. He holds an
LL.M. in international financial law from the London School of
Economics.
I personally think that the Stress of being president has unhinged Donald Trump and he is beginning to get more dangerous by the day now to our country and our world.

‘Morning Joe’ Hosts and Trump Bring National Enquirer Into Their Feud

The co-hosts of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,’’ Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough,
defended themselves on Friday against President Trump’s Twitter attack
the day before, with Ms. Brzezinski saying that President Trump’s tweets
targeting her betrayed “a fragile, childlike ego” that was a profound
concern.
“We’re O.K. The country’s not,” Mr. Scarborough added.
The
two hosts also injected an element of supermarket tabloid intrigue by
asserting that top White House aides had contacted them to say that they
could prevent The National Enquirer from publishing a negative article
about them if they called the president, apologized for criticizing him
on their show and asked for his forgiveness.
Mr.
Trump soon fired back with a rejoinder, posting on Twitter that it was
the other way around — that Mr. Scarborough had initiated an attempt to
stop the Enquirer story — which the host then denied in a tweet of his
own, saying he had records to prove he was right.
The
exchange kept the spotlight on the coarse and personal criticism Mr.
Trump directed at the two hosts on Thursday, when the president described Ms. Brzezinski as “low I.Q. Crazy Mika” and claimed
that she had been “bleeding badly from a face-lift” during a social
gathering at Mr. Trump’s resort in Florida around New Year’s Eve.
In
a deeply divided capital, Mr. Trump’s attack managed to unite lawmakers
of both parties in condemning his remarks, and news organizations (even
Trump-friendly ones) also rebuked the president. And the personal
nature of his attack on Ms. Brzezinski revived the controversy over Mr.
Trump’s attitude toward women.
In an op-ed in The Washington Post
on Friday, Ms. Brzezinski and Mr. Scarborough, who are engaged to be
married, said Mr. Trump’s tweets represented a “continued mistreatment
of women” and they underscored that theme on their show as well.
“I’m
concerned about the messages that are being sent by this president,”
Mr. Scarborough said. “You have women who are being constantly
degraded.”
“It
is disturbing that the president of the United States keeps up his
unrelenting assault on women,” they wrote. “From his menstruation
musings about Megyn Kelly, to his fat-shaming treatment of a former Miss Universe, to his braggadocio claims about grabbing women’s genitalia, the 45th president is setting the poorest of standards for our children.”
The
White House did not explain what had prompted Mr. Trump’s outburst, but
a spokeswoman said the president was entitled to fight back against
those in the media who he felt attacked him unfairly.
Perhaps
the most striking part of the two hosts’ pushback was their claim that
the White House tried to leverage a planned article in The National
Enquirer to get them to apologize to the president for their comments
about him.
Mr.
Scarborough said they were repeatedly told that if they called the
president and apologized for their coverage, Mr. Trump would intervene
on their behalf. “We ignored their desperate pleas,” they wrote.
After the show aired, the fight moved to Twitter. Mr. Trump fired a volley, tweeting that he had watched the “low rated @Morning_Joe for first time in long time” and called it “FAKE NEWS.”
Referring to Mr. Scarborough, he wrote: “He called me to stop a National Enquirer article. I said no! Bad show”
Mr. Scarborough responded within minutes, denying Mr. Trump’s claim.
And again:
In a statement,
The National Enquirer defended an earlier story on Ms. Brzezinski and
Mr. Scarborough and said it had “absolutely no involvement” in any
discussions between the co-hosts and the White House.
“At
no time did we threaten either Joe or Mika or their children in
connection with our reporting on the story,” said Dylan Howard, the vice
president of news for American Media Inc., the Enquirer’s publisher.
In their op-ed, Ms. Brzezinski and Mr. Scarborough disputed the details of Mr. Trump’s Thursday tweets.
His
claim that Ms. Brzezinski was bleeding from a face-lift was “a lie,”
they wrote, adding: “Mr. Trump claims that we asked to join him at
Mar-a-Lago three nights in a row. That is false. He also claimed that he
refused to see us. That is laughable.”
They
wrote: “And though it is no one’s business, the president’s petulant
personal attack against yet another woman’s looks compels us to report
that Mika has never had a face-lift. If she had, it would be evident to
anyone watching ‘Morning Joe’ on their high-definition TV.”
Ms. Brzezinski did have a “little skin under her chin tweaked,” but it was not a secret, they wrote.
The
co-hosts were scheduled to be on vacation on Friday but delayed their
plans to appear on the show to respond to the president’s tweets.
Until
recently, the president had a friendly relationship with the hosts, who
were criticized during the campaign for their closeness to the
candidate.
In
recent months, however, the pair have excoriated Mr. Trump on the air,
denouncing his behavior and questioning his mental health — criticisms
the president views as a personal betrayal, according to a senior administration official.
Last month, Ms. Brzezinski and Mr. Scarborough told Vanity Fair
that the president had offered to officiate at their wedding and host
it at the White House or Mar-a-Lago. (Ms. Brzezinski said her answer to
that was, “If it weren’t Trump, it might be something to think about.”)
Mr.
Trump’s invective threatened to further erode his support among
Republican women and independents, both among voters and on Capitol
Hill, where he needs negotiating leverage for the stalled Senate health care bill.
A
spokeswoman for the president, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, on Thursday
urged the news media to move on. She argued during the White House
briefing that Mr. Trump was “fighting fire with fire” by attacking a
longtime critic.
A slew of Republicans criticized the president’s comments.
Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska tweeted: “Stop it! The presidential platform should be used for more than bringing people down.”
“Morning
Joe” co-hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski penned an opinion
piece in the Washington Post on Friday titled, “Donald Trump is not

‘Morning Joe’ Hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski Fire Back: ‘Donald Trump Is Not Well’
“Morning Joe” co-hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski penned an opinion piece in the Washington Post
on Friday titled, “Donald Trump is not well,” in response to the
president’s Twitter attack on the pair. Among the numerous insults
jammed into a pair of Thursday tweets, Trump said Brzezinski was
“bleeding badly from a face-lift,” but they call that a lie.
The co-bylined piece starts off, “Trump launched personal attacks
against us Thursday, but our concerns about his unmoored behavior go far
beyond the personal. America’s leaders and allies are asking themselves
yet again whether this man is fit to be president. We have our doubts,
but we are both certain that the man is not mentally equipped to
continue watching our show, ‘Morning Joe.'”
The op-ed continues: “The president’s unhealthy obsession with our
show has been in the public record for months, and we are seldom
surprised by his posting nasty tweets about us.”
Scarborough and Brzezinski wrote, “The president’s unhealthy
obsession with ‘Morning Joe’ does not serve the best interests of either
his mental state or the country he runs.”
On Thursday, Trump got personal while attacking the MSNBC hosts on
Twitter. The morning show pair go on to detail a variety of threats and
lies made by the president, calling his Twitter claim that he refused to
see them at Mar-a-Lago “laughable.”
“Despite his constant claims that he no longer watches the show, the
president’s closest advisers tell us otherwise. That is unfortunate. We
believe it would be better for America and the rest of the world if he
would keep his 60-inch-plus flat- screen TV tuned to ‘Fox &
Friends,'” they wrote.
Scarborough and Brzezinski continued: “The president-elect invited us
both to dinner on Dec. 30. Joe attended because Mika did not want to
go. After listening to the president-elect talk about his foreign policy
plans, Joe was asked by a disappointed Mr. Trump the next day if Mika
could also visit Mar-a-Lago that night. She reluctantly agreed to go.
After we arrived, the president-elect pulled us into his family’s living
quarters with his wife, Melania, where we had a pleasant conversation.
We politely declined his repeated invitations to attend a New Year’s Eve party, and we were back in our car within 15 minutes.”
Check out Trump’s tweets:
As for the bleeding comment, the MSNBC stars addressed it in their
op-ed: “Putting aside Mr. Trump’s never-ending obsession with women’s
blood, Mika and her face were perfectly intact, as pictures from that
night reveal. And though it is no one’s business, the president’s
petulant personal attack against yet another woman’s looks compels us to
report that Mika has never had a face-lift. If she had, it would be
evident to anyone watching ‘Morning Joe’ on their high-definition TV.
She did have a little skin under her chin tweaked, but this was hardly a
state secret.”
The opinion column goes on to say that Trump’s behavior has changed
for the worse and that he is no longer capable of keeping his emotions
in check.
“It’s a sad day for America when the president spends his time
bullying, lying and spewing petty personal attacks instead of doing his
job,” an MSNBC spokesperson told TheWrap on Thursday.
