Wrong. Each of the GOP heard it from their constituents. Trump is hoarding the lack of ethics for himself.

The Republicans reversed course ....... they don't want to upset Trump.

Trump spokesperson, Sean Spicer, later clarified that Trump was not upset about the move, but about the timing.

Remember, Trump has a big reveal today on the secrets only he knows about hacking

The action is postponed, for now.

A win for ALL Americans.

He's not against the committee per se, but that Congress paid more attention to this than other more pressing issues. I'm betting he's fine with them getting rid of it.


I don't think that's the correct read. He teamed up with Paul Ryan to impose some discipline.

"As unfair as it is".... sounds to me like he thinks that committee should go, too, or at least be changed, probably to allow him to have conflicts of interests.


Eh, "as unfair as it is" is just some conciliatory language. Point is that he came out against it, that's what matters.


And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why Trump one. Because both the press and gullible people refuse to see what's in front of them.

Why on earth is it unfair? And why doesn't Trump come out stronger in favor of restoring it?

True. I guess only liberals care about ethics and honesty. Now we know, since the GOP stopped pretending

Their glorified Hillary candidate was their quintessential example of "ethics and honesty", wasn't she, op?


+1
The question that always goes conveniently unanswered.


She's as honest as the average politician. On the other hand, I don't think I've ever heard a single honest thing come out of Trump's mouth. Never mind all his questionable ethics around his businesses and "charity."


"Politicians are crooked! Run Gubmint like a BUSINESS!!" they howled.

Yet here it turns out the businessmen are even more crooked than the politicians.


Politicians are corrupt if they do what business people do every day.
