monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

A lot of Democrats saw the weakness of their candidate, couldn't quite bring themselves to vote for Mr. Sanders, and just hoped that the remnants of the old Obama coalition might propel her to a close victory. I don't think that many Democrats really attribute her loss to anything other than her unpopularity among independents and the progressive wing of the party. The Comey statement was the knockout punch, the Wiki leaks were more akin to a bunch of flies buzzing around a pile of manure. And I question how the author "knows" that rank and file Democrats weren't becoming increasingly suspicious of Russian intentions in Eastern Europe and that most of them weren't appalled at the invasion of Crimea.

What a load of crap.

Secrecy and Suspicion Surround Trump’s Deregulation Teams

This isn't Trump. He has little to no knowledge in these fields and clearly no interest in them at all. There's no way he's made these appointments. This is Pence and possibly Preibus and others associated with them. And behind that is the Koch operation.

...but I'm perfectly willing to agree that his and your levels of knowledge and ignorance are the same.

America’s Democrats were not so angry when Russia rolled into Crimea, when Russian-backed rebels shot down a passenger airliner, or when Russian spy planes and bombers fly near Alaska and other parts of American airspace.

Very gracious of you, thanks.

I'm sure he's a lot smarter than I am but that doesn't mean that he's above pulling a rhetorical stunt to please his audience.

A lot of conservative Republicans seem to think that Democrats as a whole retain some nostalgia for the Soviet Union and have some sentimental attachment to Russia. And this is not true.

During the Balkan Wars right-wing commentators were accusing Democrats of supporting the Serbs and not making any objection to the atrocities being committed — "Where's Susan Brownmiller now?" asked Limbaugh.

America’s Democrats were not so angry when Russia rolled into Crimea, when Russian-backed rebels shot down a passenger airliner, or when Russian spy planes and bombers fly near Alaska and other parts of American airspace.

This is opinion parading as fact.

These issues were never tied to a particular election and I've never seen polling that would indicate that "Democrats" weren't disgusted with Russian interference in Ukraine.

In Syria Republicans gave more support to Assad and seemed to admire Putin's intervention. They accused the Democrats of supporting ISIS because they initially armed the anti-Assad rebels.

I've seen a lot more admiration for Putin among Republicans than among Democrats and I stand by my earlier statement; Jolt is assembling specious "evidence" to back up a politically-motivated conclusion.

Snowflakes. Made from the tears of conservative crybabies. Whining after a win. Always soooooooooo attractive.

He did assert in his campaign that he would reduce the number of intrusive regulations having an adverse effect on investment and our economy, and he made some fairly explicit promises about cancelling regulations..

I suspect you don't really know the truth of what you assert about Trump's knowledge or interest here.
