1. The alleged Russian connections to the Trump Campaign? I think it is bull$hit political chatter to undermine his win. I feel our own media tried to influence the election!!
2. The flip flopping on issues from the Trump Campaign to the Trump Presidency? (like who pays for the wall, NATO, China as a currency manipulator, healthcare will be better and cheaper, Muslim ban, prosecuting Hillary Clinton, Janet Yellin, etc) I sometime change my mind on large expenditures and sometimes it is not financially feasible , It would be hypocritical of me to have a problem with a change in plans.
3. The late night tweeting? I don't stay up late and I don't tweet. If you or Trump are into that - have at it.
4. The accusations of Trump Tower being wire tapped? The fat lady has not sung on this. My initial thoughts were he was misinformed by someone that works for him or we are being misinformed from someone that worked for Obamma (Rice).
5. The narcissism? That's your diagnosis, not sure you are qualified to make it...if you are, I suspect you might be your best client.
6. The bashing of Goldman Sachs and then hiring so many former GS execs to serve in the cabinet? It must not be as easy to find financially talented people as Trump thought it was and you think it is?
7. The outright lies that Trump tells, which his staff calls "alternative facts" and refuses to address in press briefings, and tells us that we can not take him literally? I have no confidence in the media today, if you do - have at it. I think the media got egg on their face trying to make Crooked Hillary president and they are upset about his ability to cut them out of the process
So, I get your partisanship, but could any of these issues actually change your mind about our current POTUS? I really doubt it. I felt Obamma was a POS and Crooked Hillary would be more Obamma...I was not going to waste my vote on a person that could not garner more than 1% of the nation's votes...so Trump is the best option we had. I am happy with his progress and disapointed with the anti Trump crap.

I respect your answer and appreciate that you took the time to respond to my questions. Seriously, I truly mean that. We many disagree, but we can still respect each other's right to express an opinion. I wouldn't ask if I didn't want an answer. Your responses give this thread some significant insight into it's topic, which is political partisanship. So in the spirit of further study of partisanship:
May I follow up? Let's forget about Obama and Clinton as they are not the President of the United States.
1. So then, are you in favor of the Congress continuing to investigate the Russian connection to the 2016 elections? Why or why not?
2. So, you forgive financial feasibility mistakes. I'm ok with that, but what about the other issues I list? Do we forgive those too?
3. Like you, I don't tweet. Twitter is not my thing. I've been known to stay up late, but not usually. Now that those issues are resolved, the reason I ask is that tweets are public and when the POTUS speaks publically, it matters, right? So, if he states national policy in tweets, or accuses someone of deeds with no proof of those accusations being true, is that a problem?
4. I think from your response that you, like me, want to continue to investigate this matter to determine the truth. If we find that Trump had no basis for the accusation, does he owe former President Obama an apology, and should the Twitter account of the POTUS be shut down?
5. What makes you think I'm a narcissist? I'm really curious on that one. And I didn't diagnose Trump as a narcissist, as you correctly state that I am not qualified. That diagnosis has been done by numerous other qualified analysts writing in national publications. Are those all lies?

6. Do all the financially talented people in the US work at, or formerly worked at Goldman Sachs? Just seems ironic that he accused Secretary Clinton of being bought and paid for by Goldman Sachs as a reason to not vote for her, and then he hires so many of the GS alumni. Is that alright with the people who voted for him based on his campaign statements?
Trump used to hate Goldman Sachs. What happened?
7. As for the "alternative facts," the untruths have been pretty well documented. Is this OK?
