2. Hannity is denying everything

I asked my husband (who STILL supports 45) is he believed him, and he said, "Yes, what does he have to lie about?" There is simply no hope to get through to 45's supporters. I told him that one point of lying is to buy time. I added that the first person liars lie to is themselves. They tell themselves that they're not going to get found out.

I have every confidence that Hannity is going down. It may be just another sex cover-up, but I think he's in the whole real estate/money laundering thing. Time WILL tell.

5. Try that shoe on the other foot

Spin out the hypothetical scenario where Hillary Clinton and Huma Abedin have the same lawyer of dubious provenance, and then it turns out that said lawyer has only three clients. The lawyer tries to hide the third client's name, but has to give it up in court when the judge ain't havin' it. The third client turns out to be Rachel Maddow. Now what does dear husband think? And how is that wholly fictional scenario just detailed any different from the actual facts on the ground about Michael Cohen?

As are almost all of 45's supporters.

We share a house, but live separate lives. One of these days it'll be completely over.

3. I don't understand any of the what I would call normal personalities, people who want good things

for our country, parents who are concerned about role models for their children & the President of the US along with Congress in the past served as role models for children. There is nothing at all about Trump or his administration that illustrates good character, integrity, honesty or anything that you would present to your kids or believe is good in them. Also, he did nothing to illustrate any of that on the campaign trail & in fact turned the republican primary into a total circus & not a very good one at that.

Even the Evangelicals are suffering a loss regarding their religion with their children & others who see such hypocrisy in the way they support Trump & how they handled their disdain for President Obama & in the past the Clintons.

I believe for many it is their fear of change in our country. Like it or not, minorities are advancing some & more are completing college, getting good jobs, making gains economically in various ways & for the older white generation, they are having a hard time accepting this. I could be wrong but that is my opinion for a lot of it along with something President Obama said a few years ago, they vote their guns, religion & racism.
