So on Twitter Trump just straight up admitted he can control stories the National Enquirer publishes, maybe even that he indeed blackmailed Scarborough. The dementia is hitting new levels.

Haha, ok. So rip away health care from everyone right away, and then just wait a while until the GOP can put together Trumpcare version 3.0? Yea, I'm sure that will go down well with the public.

If Republican Senators are unable to pass what they are working on now, they should immediately REPEAL, and then REPLACE at a later date!

Well, I guess if he cancels it and lets all of the poor people die off, insurance companies will only be responsible for insuring healthy people. Wonder which lobbyists could be responsible for this.
Americans' aversion to helping others with health issues is mind boggling. They'll donate to almost any other random cause, but this.. forget about it.

I'll never understand that hypocritical stance some Christians in the US take in this regard. Help your fellow man. . . . except in healthcare.

His solution to not being able to pass a health care bill is to cancel healthcare for everyone? That'll be 32 million people or basically all of Canada. I can't see how anyone could support his clown. Can't get his way, burn it all

Present health care as an infrastructure issue! Infrastructure is supposed to encourage business since stores need roads to get their customers and products to them.
So tell them people are infrastructure! Without people to give their last $20 to that televangelist then they won't make any money. Or without people to buy their fidget spinners they can't make money. So part of their taxes paying health care is an infrastructure project to make sure their capitalistic visions of prosperity can continue to be a improbably faint but non-zero therefore certain future possibility.

Not sure if this has been posted yet but basically the perfect tone to take in response. "We don't care about the personal attacks; he's mostly full of crap but what else is new; it's just further evidence of his disproportionately angry response to criticism from women in particular; don't worry about us, we're public figures and we can take the heat; it's the country that's damaged by this, not us."

Kentucky the latest state to tell Trump to pound sand regarding voter info. So much winning.
I think this is precisely the response that the White House expected though. There's obviously no evidence of voter fraud; but now they can say, "All these states are refusing to provide voter information! What are they trying to hide?! Is the voter fraud problem even more widespread that the 5 million we originally thought?" And plenty of his supporters will eat that up.

I think his supporters are a lost cause at this point. They're morons. Don't bother trying to appeal to them. Go after the independents and the moderates and continue to show them what an authoritarian clownshow this is.

Kris Kobach to all states: Give me all of your voter information
Kris Kobach to Kris Kobach: #### that ####

Multiple states plan to buck Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach’s request for personal information on voters on behalf of a presidential commission.
Kobach said Friday that Kansas, at least for now, also won’t be sharing Social Security information with the commission, on which he serves as vice chairman. The state will share other information about the state’s registered voters, including names and addresses, which are subject to the state’s open records laws.
Kobach sent letters on behalf of the commission to every state requesting names, addresses, voting history and other personal information, such as the last four digits of voters’ Social Security numbers, earlier this week.
Kobach said Thursday that Kansas would provide all the information requested in the letter, but in a follow-up interview Friday, he said the state would not be sharing the Social Security information at this time.
“In Kansas, the Social Security number is not publicly available. … Every state receives the same letter, but we’re not asking for it if it’s not publicly available,” Kobach said.
There's starting to be a real paper-trail here. A document connecting an attempt to recover the Clinton emails, regardless of their source; to senior people within the Trump campaign (including Conway and Bannon). The WSJ also points to Russians considering providing Flynn with Clinton emails. So, there's pretty strong evidence now that Flynn was in contact with Russia during the campaign, Russia discussed providing those emails to Flynn, and then later someone associated with Flynn made inquiries about verifying Clinton emails, and documents support all of this going on with the knowledge of Bannon and Conway. And all of that is just what's publically available; the amount the FBI already knows must be huge.
Incidentally, add top public corruption prosecutor Andrew Goldstein to team Mueller.

Two things missing still for this story to catch fire
1. Nothing verifying a link between this 81 year old dead guys' document with the Trump campaign. The author died 10 days after discussing it with the WSJ. Flynn can say I don't know this man or that firm. Of course correspondence would help corroborate that but that might be hard to find. Tait claims the author shared knowledge of inner workings of the campaign not known by public as proof he was involved with the campaign, but that's pretty weak. Bannon, Conway et Al say they did not know the man or his LLC. Need more
Watching that announcement really reinforces the difference between when he is reading someone elses words and when he uses his own words. Reminds me of when a fourth grader gives a book report.
