I hate to say this, but we don't need a command economy, not even one that deems coal and nuclear "winners." Let the market rule. Obama was wrong to pick winners, and when Trump does it, it's still wrong.

Free the markets, don't just rig them a different way.

Ready to embrace Blagojevich as an innocent victim of Bob Mueller (then FBI director)?

Blagojevich tried to sell a Senate seat and he shook down a children’s hospital. If that’s Trump’s idea of “practicing politics,” it would explain a lot.

Of Rod Blagojevich, Judge Jeanine says there are "many who feel, and maybe even the president, that the guy was just kind of practicing politics." He. Tried. To. Sell. A. Senate. Seat. He was convicted on 17 corruption charges and impeached 117-1. twitter.com

How do conservatives say with a straight face that Blago should receive a pardon for just doing "politics" when they have spent the last six years trying to get Hillary indicted?

Blagojevich’s wife goes on one of Trump’s favorite shows to describe how hard his imprisonment has been on their kids. Judge Jeanine says Blago was popular and just doing “politics” when he tried to sell a Senate seat for personal gain. Audience of ONE twitter.com

This is absolute madness. The idea that Blago was popular in Illinois is whitewashing history in the worst way. There was a poll in 2008 where Blago's approval rating was 3 percent. THREE! (Not a typo) The mental gymnastics Trump supporters have to do is so pathetic to watch.
