Donald Trump said in an interview broadcast Sunday that the Benghazi committee's hearing featuring former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was “very partisan,” adding that the “hatred” displayed was “unbelievable ...

Trump missed the mark on this one completely.  It wasn't about partisan politics.  It was about discovering the truth; holding the Secretary of State and others accountable for four dead Americans and the criminal activity involved.

It was and it should be.

Then Cummings the guard chihuahua started yipping and some, like idiots, responded in kind.

Trump would certainly unify Congress in a way it hasn't been unified in eight years.

It would be him against a unified Democrat-Republican Congress.  He has no constituency in Congress except maybe some of the crybaby caucus.  His immigration plan wouldn't even be taken up nor would his ridiculous tax plan.

Hell, Trump needs to think about unifying REPUBLICANS.  Some, like me, will never support him.

Agreed in the fact that we already have a unified Democrat-Republican Congress -- McConnell, our so-called Republican leader in the Senate sides with the DEMS and Boehner our so-called Republican leader in the House sides with the DEMS. 

That's what needs to change.  I believe Trump has the ability to "unify" "We the People" who have already started to send a resounding message that we don't want the Washington establishment aka Washington cartel!

This much from Trump -- or from any politician -- is mere blather.

There aren't going to be any more "unifying" political figures in America.

Certainly not from the left. Their intent is to divide, and eventually conquer.

And anyone from the right promising that is not to be trusted, because the left itself must never be trusted.

... Only vanquished.
