Rep. Todd Rokita: This news should make all Americans angry. A twice-deported illegal immigrant is suspected of killing 2 Hoosiers, including Colts LB Edwin Jackson. We must do more to get these dangerous illegal immigrant criminals off our streets, build a wall & put an end to illegal immigration 
a bombshell report released overnight by Senator Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), Chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, which revealed more critical evidence concerning how the FBI handled the Hillary Clinton e-mail probe. The Committee also released more damning text messages between FBI agents Peter Strzok and Lisa Page which showed an intention by the agents to find evidence to impeach President Trump as well as the news that President Obama wanted to be involved in the Clinton e-mail investigation. 
He is attempting to be professional but he is knee-deep in Hillary-gate 
he has a few points. How far left do you have to be to think Obama was a centrist? Obama did so much on the far leftist agenda and they don’t give him any credit for it. He really moved the ball on the field and they act like he was a watered down bill Clinton working with republicans. Obama whooped the Republican Party good for 8 years, they rolled over for him again and again. Despite the narrative the were obstructionist, but that’s confusing party rhetoric which actual actions. Looking at what the republicans actually did they were more helpful than the democrats. I think people forget how splintered the congressional democrats were, yes they got a few big issues like Obama care but dropped the ball on everything else like immigration and gun control when they literally couldn’t be stoped legislatively.Kristatos wrote:Why Trump will win in 2020: https://theweek.com/articles/757831/why-trump-win-2020
As you say, actions speak louder than words. Obama may have been good at telling liberals what they wanted to hear, but he started something like seven wars, and his administration was filled with Wall Street insiders. Even his signature achievement, Obamacare, was originally a Republican initiative, drawn up by the conservative Heritage Foundation and first implemented by Mitt Romney, who was forced to run against him in 2012 by promising to repeal his own policy. As for whupping the GOP's ass, that may have been true in presidential elections, but the Dems lost over 1000 down-ticket races under his watch.Omega wrote:How far left do you have to be to think Obama was a centrist?
I meant whupping the republican legislatively, they bitched and moaned but passed funding for all of his projects, any opposition usually crumbled before a deadline, 2or 3 times obama had unbelievable deals with the republicans only to blow the deals up last minute with extra demands. In contrast the democrat controlled congress passed very few agenda items. The congress that passed obama care was divided on every other major issue. At the time they said it was because obama did to reach out to congress. Which was true. I think people forget how bad it was before republican majorities.Kristatos wrote:As you say, actions speak louder than words.
