Apparently, they have also been seeking dirt on Senator Warren.

"Investigate" here is code for "manufacture a fake scandal about."

Glad I could clear that up for you.

The crazy thing about that is head-to-head polls are an extremely weak predictor this far out from the election.

And probably Bernie Sanders as well.
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

Trumpism, like all religions, has distorted the meaning of certain words for its own purposes. There are several examples:

- fake
- investigate
- genius
- stable
- temperament
- winning
- disgrace
- tremendous
- treason
- patriotism
- loyalty
- morality
- legal
- corruption

Really, there are too many to list.

Not if you're a stable genius.

Apparently, there is a second whistleblower on the Trump treason call to the Ukrainian President. Also, that treason request to China was not just a hypothetical scenario. Trump had already made that request to China.

Wow, really? That's quite the elaborate troll to the media, then, Rubio.
