>>"That's right, straight to whataboutism when I say Trump is satan. You need to go read a book to realize my language uplifts the nation because I have proven (stated) that Trump is the only one guilty of improper and hateful speech, along with that potty-mouthed NZ dude that ruined America by voting for Trump even though I also proved there is no voter fraud. Whataboutism proves you are a typical Nazi trying to introduce hate, so that's why I hate you. Because I'm all about love."

Agreed. But I will say this -- it reminds me of watching the Valachi hearings. They needed Joseph Michael "Joe Cargo" Valachi as a witness despite his character because that's the only type of person that could provide the information that wanted -- another evil insider. Seems that Cohen falls into this category. If Cohen is believable is up to debate of course - just as it was with Valachi.

>Trump is very beatable in a general election - even with the economy generally doing OK. But right now the Democratic party is utterly pathetic, and it cracks me up how so many Democratic candidates are playing a "me-too" game with AOC.

The dems have their work cut out for them for sure. Frankly I'm glad there are so many of them running -- gives us a chance to pick from quite a few and hear a lot of perspectives. The other key factor here is the ignorance of the American voter - which is a more difficult thing to overcome.

>If I were a Democrat right now, I'd be very worried about 2020. As it stands right now, I think Trump might (narrowly) win in the greatest war of attrition of all time.

Sadly I have to agree with you on this too. It would be nice to see the end of the electoral college - or everyone go with the The National Popular Vote (NPV) plan.
