Criminal convictions are not disqualifying for Republicans

Republicans don’t seem to object to having candidates that committed crimes.  Maybe that will help Trump get re-elected if he is charged with anything from the Mueller investigation.

And there’s this:

Some Republicans are finally understanding the flaws in their tax law

Tom Price, former HHS Secretary, admitted the new tax law would raise the cost of health care for some people.

From this article on Marco Rubio: “There is still a lot of thinking on the right that if big corporations are happy, they’re going to take the money they’re saving and reinvest it in American workers,” he says. “In fact they bought back shares, a few gave out bonuses; there’s no evidence whatsoever that the money’s been massively poured back into the American worker.”

Trump and his old doctor

So Trump’s flunkies raided his old doctor’s office.  The doctor later said that Trump basically wrote the medical letter Trump used in the election.

Do you think Trump wrote his own excuse notes when he went to school?  I think one would go like this:

“Please excuse Donald for his absence yesterday.  He had the highest fever ever recorded.  Since Donald is the healthiest child ever, he was better by today.”

To be more serious:

  1. There should be requirements about what medical information should be disclosed by presidential candidates.  I assume Congress could put them in a law.
  2. I wonder what Trump is hiding.  My guess is that he is taking Viagra or Cialis.  I wouldn’t be surprised if he is taking something for a sexually transmitted disease too.
