Daarbij opgemerkt dat Obama wél een aantal bipartisan politieke besluiten heeft kunnen ritselen met de republikeinen. Ik kan me voorstellen dat "de andere partij" sceptisch staat tegenover een voorstel van een zittende partij, maar de wantrouwen en polarisatie die de afgelopen 2 jaar door Trump is veroorzaakt zal het politieke beeld decennia lang beïnvloeden. De afgelopen jaren hebben de republikeinen het voortouw gehad (ook onder Obama) Het lijkt er op dat de schade die Trump heeft veroorzaakt bij de GOP moeilijk is te herstellen, Kiezers zien een machteloze partij die ondanks een meerderheid in huis en senaat én een zittende president eigenlijk niks meer kan doen dan aan de merkwaardige grollen van Trump toe te geven. Dan komt diezelfde kiezer snel op andere keuzes. Democratisch ofwel independent. Deze generatie GOP is reddeloos verloren omdat ze geen sturing hebben.

They are pushing so recklessly hard and hate the fact that I’ll probably have a good relationship with Putin. We are doing MUCH better than any other country! reageer retweet

House Republicans plan to vote Thursday on a spending bill that excludes new money for election security grants to states, provoking a furious reaction from Democrats amid a national controversy over Russian election interference.

At issue is a grants program overseen by the federal Election Assistance Commission and aimed at helping states administer their elections and improve voting systems; Democrats want to continue grant funding through 2019, while Republicans say the program already has been fully funded.

Republicans argued strenuously in floor debate Wednesday that states had plenty of money from prior congressional allocations to spend on election improvements. But Democrats accused the Republicans of abetting President Trump in his refusal to take a hard line against Russian President Vladi­mir Putin at this week’s summit in Helsinki.

Trump says looks forward to second Putin meeting

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin blamed forces within the United States on Thursday for marring what they called the success of their first summit, with Trump saying he looked forward to their second meeting.

Trump, who has struggled to quiet a political uproar over his failure at Monday’s summit in Helsinki to confront Putin over Russia’s meddling in the 2016 U.S. election, renewed his fierce criticism of one of his favorite targets, the news media.

The Republican president accused the media of distorting comments in which he gave credence to Putin’s denials of election interference despite the conclusions of the American intelligence community about Moscow’s conduct.

“The Summit with Russia was a great success, except with the real enemy of the people, the Fake News Media,” Trump wrote on Twitter.

“I look forward to our second meeting so that we can start implementing some of the many things discussed, including stopping terrorism, security for Israel, nuclear proliferation, cyber attacks, trade, Ukraine, Middle East peace, North Korea and more,” Trump said.

Trump drew a barrage of criticism in the United States, including from lawmakers in both parties, after he refused to blame Putin for the election meddling. Putin has denied such interference.

The Republican president later said he had misspoken and accused “some people” of hating the fact that he got along with Putin.

In Moscow, Putin accused forces in the United States of trying to undermine the success of his meeting with Trump, but said the two leaders had begun to improve U.S.-Russia ties anyway.

Putin, speaking to Russian diplomats from around the world, said the Helsinki summit had been successful.

“It was successful overall and led to some useful agreements. Of course, let’s see how events will develop further,” he said, without disclosing the nature of the agreements he referred to.

Former U.S. ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul on Thursday called it "lamentable" that the White House has refused to categorically reject a Russian government request to interrogate him and other Americans.

McFaul, the U.S. ambassador in Moscow under former President Barack Obama, is among the 11 Americans who the Kremlin has said it would like to interrogate in relation to financial crimes it says were committed by associates of Bill Browder, an American-born financier who has lobbied heavily against the Russian government...
