Dianne Feinstein on Trump: ‘He can be a good president’
2017-08-31
[WASHINGTONTIMES] Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein
...Dem Senator-for-Life from Caliphornica. She has been a politician since about the time she was weaned. Feinstein was the author of the 1994 Federal Assault Weapons Ban, and tried it a second time in 2012. Feinstein has chaired the Select Committee on Intelligence since 2009. At age 80, Feinstein is the oldest currently serving United States Senator....

crowd Tuesday evening after she called for "patience" with President Trump, saying the president can do good for the country if he learns from his mistakes.

Ms. Feinstein made the comments during an hourlong conversation with former Rep. Ellen Tauscher at a sold-out Commonwealth Club event in Herbst Theater. According to several reports, Ms. Feinstein was on the receiving end of hisses and boos when she took a more diplomatic approach to discussing the president and whether he should resign or be impeached.

"I think we have to have some patience, I do," Ms. Feinstein, ranking member of the Judiciary Committee and a senior member on Intelligence, told the crowd. "It’s eight months into the tenure of the presidency ... We’ll have to see if he can forget himself and his feelings about himself enough to be able to have the empathy and direction that this country needs."

If he doesn’t, she said, "there are things that can be done." She added, however, that Mr. Trump would most likely serve out the rest of his term.

"This man is going to be president most likely for the rest of this term," Ms. Feinstein said. "I just hope he has the ability to learn and change. If he does, he can be a good president."

The San Francisco Chronicle reported that the crowd reacted to the comments with "stunned silence, broken only with scattered ’No’s’ and a few hisses and some nervous laughter."

#6  He could be a great potus. They just need to forget he is white and that he ran as a pub.

#4  I'm pretty sure they've been polling and all the top Democrats have a list of bullet points they need to say on camera to be used in future campaign ads hoping to undo the damage they've already done to their brand.

It won't work. It'll drive the far left away as well. Snicker.

#3  Feinstein has a long history of trying to appear a bit less radical than colleagues like Boxer and Pelosi. Don't let her fool you.

#2  "I just hope he has the ability to learn and change. If he does, he can be a good president."
Just standard Leftist Jargon for any elected official being assimilated by the Progressive Collective.
TL/DR: If he becomes a RINO he is 50% less despicable...
