Although Trump provided no information that he may have been monitored, Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) stated that the president may want to lawyer up.

“Mr. President: If there was a wiretap at Trump Tower, that means a fed judge found probable cause of crime which means you are in deep shit,” Lieu wrote. After providing a link to a Washington Post article on Trump’s tweets and the fallout, Lieu took it a step further.

“Either @realDonaldTrump is paranoid like Nixon, or judge found probable cause of crime for #wiretap. Either way our President is in trouble,” he wrote.

lol, so if he was really tapped, and done so legally. It would be because of a crime?
Why am I not surprised.
So either way Trump is going to look very stupid on this.
What do you reckon Ben?
Shortest Presidency in history?
I reckon day by day, he is becoming odds on favorite too become the shortest in history and also end up in jail..

For everyone's sake, I certainly hope so. That said, as you say, Trump supporters are pretty cultish and information-immune. I even try to get them to imagine evidence surfacing that Obama had improper ties to Iran and not even that makes a dent.

I think the Democrats need to get some inspiring new leaders, focus their near-term efforts on pushing for an investigation of Trump and on the upcoming mid-term election, prepare to endure four years of Trump and have a stellar candidate ready to oppose him in 2020.

Ben Reilly wrote:The next Democratic nominee needs to (in my opinion):

* Represent the future and appeal to Millennial voters (they'll be the largest voting bloc in 2020)

* Appeal simultaneously to the unity and diversity of the American people

* Possess a great deal of personal charisma while also being classy and respectful (the anti-Trump)

* Take a few pages from Bernie Sanders' agenda and reclaim the economic populism that Trump hijacked from Democrats

* Be backed by a tech-savvy operation that knows how to keep internal communications safe from hackers. Podesta's downfall was simply that he failed to recognize a phishing e-mail.

Once we regain power we need to pass a raft of legislation aimed at making elections fair (gerrymander reform), accessible (no restrictive voter ID laws) and transparent (enshrine in law the tradition of candidates releasing tax documents).
