The buck stops where?
It’s “journalism”, if it bleeds it leads.
If ...we the American people want to end this Democrat Party Hatred & Lunacy against POTUS, Trump...we, ourselves can end it in a “New York Minute” How you say? Very easy.
It is being said that the Trump Re-Election Campaign is planning to have a bevy of pro Trump political rallies throughout the month of upcoming June, across the entire USA.
If that is true, instead of the massive, 10,000 or 15,000 Trump supporters showing up for these rallies...make it happen so that amazing 100,000 or more Trumpies turn out. The massive numbers will overwhelm & stun the Democrat Party scum & vermin low life and make the entire Democrat party the massive failure it already is.
Look, folks, neither Pelosi or Schumer are leaders of any kind and the likes of Nadler & Schiff are pure garbage disposal material. This Democrat Party needs to be totally politically destroyed into forever, eternal, lasting obscurity....never to be heard from again...period. No violence, just ignore everyone of them!!! Do it!!!
Ding, ding, ding - we have a thread winnah!
I love you GrayFox.......in God’s way. The best people like me can do is donate and let our feelings be known and expose these Demons for what they really are.....tools of the left....the dangerous left that seeks to destroy this nation and PRAY, of course PRAY daily that God will bless this President and give him the strength to carry on in one of the most blatant examples of hatred that I’ve ever seen and believe me, I’m old enough to have seen things that most people only see in history books. Keep on keeping on my friend........;)
In either of those cases, it would have been for public show only; both sides are UniParty.
Both Bush and Romney have shown they are genuinely friends with the “opposition” - but not with Trump.
“The buck stops where?”
The buck stops with the POTUS, of course. But you have twisted the meaning of that phrase beyond all recognition:
“The buck stops here” is a phrase that was popularized by U.S. President Harry S. Truman, who kept a sign with that phrase on his desk in the Oval Office. The phrase refers to the notion that the President has to make the decisions and accept the ultimate responsibility for those decisions.”
-Wikipedia
Accepting responsibility is a virtue. There is no virtue in accepting blame for something that’s not your fault.
Good article - I don’t disagree with any of it.
What I disagree with is you blaming President Trump for the loss of the House, and then suggesting he is “passing the buck”.
There are 2 reasons we lost the house and they are John McShame, and LYIN RYAN the Dems ran in their individual districts on health care McShame screwed Trump on healthcare LYIN RYAN convinced MANY of the Congress critters to leave ALL at one time his hatred of Trump was utterly disgusting PURE JEALOUSY and vindictiveness!!!!
You are missing the connection between Trump’s handling of his signature issue and the midterms.
But the bigger argument for the buck stopping with him is that he was by the time of the midterms president for nearly two years, he had put Mittens’ kin in to run the RNC, the admin clearly accomplished nothing in terms of securing voting integrity, and the RNC absolutely got gobbled up by the Dems’ aggressive “vote harvesting”.
All that stuff, yes, he is responsible for.
you think this is about 2016? These actions are here and now for keeps with the Dems. anyone who doesnt have a D in front of their name is gonna go thru this crap. This is the Dems new MO...
D.J.T.: But, I do preside over burials of political parties.

Ha, ha, ha, I like that. Trump the Political Undertaker.
You and I probably agree for the most part on how dire the situation was that President Trump walked into in 2016.
If anything, it is you who underestimated the peril, not me - which seems to have caused you to expect too much from one man. Now you are disappointed and you think he has let you down, but you are wrong.
No one man can make America great again from the office of President.
It takes an overwhelming popular mandate to force all three coequal branches of government and a corrupt bureaucracy, media and academia into submission enough to turn the tides.
Donald Trump had none of that, regardless of party labels and nominal majorities in Congress - the entire establishment swamp was and still is determined to protect the globalist status quo. 2016 was hardly a popular mandate - he actually lost the popular vote.
There is only one thing a great leader can do - and President Trump is doing it: speak the truth, argue the case for America First, survive until 2020, and give the American people one more opportunity to send a clear message - a popular mandate.
Without a clear popular mandate a President has no power. President Trump has not let us down - he is clear and consistent - every single day he argues the case for America First.
Midterm elections are not the measure of how much popular support exists for a POTUS - who is not even on the ballot. 2020 will be the measure.
But even if President Trump is re-elected by a landslide, with huge coattails, keeps reforming the courts, and manages to shame the media and academia into telling the truth once and a while - even then he can’t fix overnight what took a century to screw up.
Look, if you need it to be Donald Trump’s fault that the borders are not secure and the swamp is not drained - go ahead and blame him. I think you’re selling him far short.
Baloney.
