No, Nunes has actual facts on his side. You will see.

How the hell would Nunes know what the facts are? After months and months of making the argument that the FBI and DOJ are involved in some sort of conspiracy, he didn't even bother to read the materials presented to him. Instead, he basically deferred it all to Gowdy - even though he is the Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee. That's also not the first time that Nunes has chosen not to read the documents that he fought so hard to obtain. Nunes also admitted to not reading the FISA applications that he was so hot and bothered about in February.

Nunes doesn't know what the facts are... he refuses to review the evidence that he pursues so hard. It makes no sense. The attacks against him are more than justified. He is a buffoon.

Okay, then... You defend why someone fights so hard for months and months to obtain FISA applications but then doesn't bother to even read the damn things once he gets them (by his own admission). Should be good. Nunes is either incredibly lazy or disingenuous about his objectives.

Nunes is a laughable moron. The fact that you rubes are defending him is hilarious. He's Nancy Pelosi with a ball sack. Notice I didn't say with balls.

We'll find out soon enough if Nunes has been playing political games with the press or has been pursuing the truth.

I've seen much more evidence to support Nunes claims than I have seen of alleged Russian collusion by the Trump campaign.

Nunes: I did not read material summarized in the memo | TheHill

Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) on Friday admitted that did not personally review the applications for surveillance warrants that provide the basis of the classified memo released earlier in the day.

Nunes said he relied on the review of committee member Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.).

“No, I didn’t,” Nunes told Fox News’s Bret Baier, when asked if he saw the applications.

The memo, released earlier in the day by the House Intelligence Committee, alleges that politically motivated material was used to petition the government for a warrant to surveil an American citizen.

Nunes, the chairman of the committee, brushed off news reports that accused him of not seeing the underlying documents as “bogus.”
He explained that the committee set up an agreement with the Justice Department that would allow just one person to review the documents.

Nunes said he thought Gowdy would be the best choice because of his background as a federal prosecutor, and that Gowdy then shared his notes and observations with the rest of the members.

Is this what you're referring to?

So what are you saying? Gowdy is incapable of summarizing the details with House Intelligence?

In another thread on this, I posted that although Phil calls himself a democrat, his fiscal policy as Governor was conservative. It will be interesting to see how Trump goes about attacking Bredesen's record as Governor. If he tries to paint Phil as a typical "tax and spend" liberal, he should instantly lose credibility with any Tennessean old enough to remember Bredesen's tenure.

Apples and oranges. Bredesen will be under tremendous Dem pressure to tow the voting line. Bredesen was a great governor. But, this isn't about executive leadership.

McCain is working from emotions. Announcing you are not inviting someone to your funeral is off the grid. No longer reality for him. Don't know why he does not step down.

Not a fan of McCain but I totally have a list of family and others whom I have no interest in seeing me off. I liked that call.

I'm sure that is true but without a voting record, it's also speculation that Bredesen would give into party pressure. Considering his age, it's unlikely that Bredesen serves more than one term in the Senate. By the accounts I've heard it took a great deal of prodding to get him to even run once. There is a lot of freedom that comes with never having a re-election bid to worry about. We have no way to know exactly how he might vote in the Senate.

If Trump is to help Blackburn run a negative campaign against Bredesen (the only type of campaign that Trump knows how to run), what would his attack angle be? There is just not very much to disparage when it comes to Bredesen's performance as governor. Trump could try insulting the intelligence of the Tennessee voters and distort his record as governor but that could easily backfire. Most people in Tennessee do remember him as a very good and responsible governor... and that includes Republicans.

Bolded is exactly why we need term limits, as well as campaign finance reform.

Congress Spends More Time Dialing for Dollars Than on Legislative Work - U.S. Term Limits

We don't need either. I used to support term limits but no longer. I would rather see session limits, reduced pay/benefits and congress being subject to the laws they pass. The job should be made to where it's only attractive to those who want to serve and for those that do and do it well we shouldn't punish their constituents.

Well, that's about as likely to happen as term limits and campaign finance reform, so whatever. I agree with the sentiment, though. US House and Senate should not be full time jobs and definitely should not be the lottery wins they currently are. It's sickening.

We agree, I just don't see it changing outside of a bloody revolt.

Truth: that which is true or in accordance with fact or reality.

You're not providing facts.... only your gutless socialist commie opinion..... so your comments do not hurt me at all.... they simply cause me to think you're a f'ing dolt

I think it would take more than that. Voters don't tend to make decisions in statewide elections based on it's potential impact on a macro level. People want to feel good about the candidate they're voting for - see Doug Jones vs Roy Moore in Alabama.

I remember him fondly, voted for him, and truth be told, I'll likely vote for him this time. Black is nuts.
