They’re evidently used to closed door and back room deals and can’t handle the wide open spaces.. nothing wrong with having the discussion out in the open.


It was wonderful to watch Donald Bluster make a fool out of himself,
over and over. So, when is MEXICO going to pay for Trump's wall?

Made a fool out of who?

Here, Harry. Yu don't mind somee cut n paste. Here,let me do some foer you...

"Pelosi complained that their conversation had "spiraled downward," and she said the emphasis should be on "how do we meet the needs of American people, who have needs. The economy has -- people are losing their jobs. The market's in a mood," she said.

Trump interrupted her: "Well, we have the lowest unemployment that we've had in 50 years," he said.

"Sixty people of the Republican Party have lost -- are losing their offices now because of the transition," Pelosi replied.

"And we gained in the Senate," Trump interrupted. "Nancy, we've gained in the Senate. Excuse me, did we win the Senate? We won the Senate," Trump said.

That was Schumer's cue: "When the president brags that he won North Dakota and Indiana, he's in real trouble," Schumer said.

"I did," Trump told Schumer. "We did. We did win North Dakota and Indiana."

U.S. Senate seats in both of those states flipped from Democrat to Republican in the midterms, giving Republicans a two-seat pickup and Democrats a two-seat loss.

Pelosi at that point objected to holding their conversation "in the public view." She called it "the most unfortunate thing."

"But it's not bad, Nancy. It's called transparency," Trump told her..."

BTW, Chuck should have noticed that Trump won way more than Indiana and North Dakota.

He won the presidency...

I heard an interesting spin on this. By winning the Senate, all of the
freshly elected senators will still be there in 2024 when Trump limits
out and the Senate will be the ones to confirm nominations and judge
any impeachment.
