Excellent point. The more they talk about him, the more one sees that nothing is sticking.

I've read two negative comments about Trump from Sen. Kennedy within five minutes. He senses Trump and Trumpism will tank during midterms. Kennedy is like the French politician Talleyrand, who knew--like the rats--to jump off a sinking ship.

1. If the Democrats did the same thing: JD Vance: "These despicable Dem's have no respect for the law, the people, or the money that hard-working Americans give to government--hell, we're just stewards of those assets!. I never thought, even them, that they would stoop so damn low. (1 of 2)

Trump is getting better with time. He is able to pack many more lies into a shorter span. It's like synergy, but backwards.
