How do you think Fox News will cover Trump's impeachment? Will it still defend him?

I agree, there are a few things he has good ideas on.

I don't think they will defend him, they won't support him either. Instead they will try and shift the conversation on how screwed the country would be if the Democrats would come to power at election time. So in other words, the negative things (in their minds) that Democrats have and will likely do would be their focus and trying to get people motivated to vote.
I would guess that if Pence doesn't get booted, they will try and hail him as the savior of the party.
My barber has good ideas, my younger pothead brother and I agree on policies.
Just because you agree with a persons policies, or their ideas, doesn't mean they're fit to be President.
Yea for real. Of course he was never gonna be worth a damn, but what a missed opportunity of finally having someone who wasn't a career politician beholden to anyone (lol) in the position.
It's like the whole "if I was president, I'd fire all those morons" that everybody crows amongst their friends.
Nobody ever says "if I was president, I'd literally do nothing".

Do you guys even read? This is why we both said we would not and did not vote for him.

I'm dyin at Trump doing this and then it immediately leaking out that he handed Merkel a bill like a fucking jackass
It's like the second he does something positive, he gets another knife in the back

That judge on fox and Kasich both said this within 12 hours of each other, they're probably getting the same memo.

I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
I kind of think this is how it went down now...(I'm not sure how this show is filmed though)
Jeannie was always planning to go after Ryan, either because the White House "asked" her too or because she has loyalty to Trump due to reported financial ties in the past. That being said she wanted it to come off as her own words as much as she could.
That was her main message of the night, but Fox advertised "new Wiretap info!" as that's more eye-catching to their, ahem, less discerning viewers. Trump saw this, got excited he'd be vindicated once more, and Tweeted to watch her show referring to that without any knowledge of the Paul Ryan stuff---or, hell, maybe he knew that was happening but didn't really think how he'd come off.
Jeannie finds out, is pissed, but still has to carry forward with her anti-Ryan message and now has to add in her "I DIDN'T TALK TO HIM!" disclaimers, probably while cursing Trump under her breath. She sounds extremely aggravated the whole time, though as others have said perhaps that's how she always is.
In the end it doesn't matter HOW it happened, because everyone sees this as Trump purposefully throwing Ryan under the bus---and his follow-up Tweet attacking the Freedom Caucus in a similar fashion doesn't help how he comes across either. He fucked up, but once again probably out of stupidity rather than pure malice.

Why else would she make it abundantly clear that trump had nothing to do with this... Right

The way Fox News tries to channel blame away from Trump is worthy of a true propaganda media outlet.
Its crazy obvious.

There were already retorts of the WH blaming Ryan for the bill before Trump ever tweeted anything.
I think it's clear he knew she was gunna blast him.

Umm, this isn't necessarily how politics works. Especially when you need support from others to get things done. There are very few unilateral moves that he can make. I guess we will have to watch the poker player pull it off.

Outside of the Paul Ryan bit, what was the "big" wiretap reveal?

There is one thing I hope he can succeed at and that is finally getting the government to invest in infrastructure. America needs that bad. It's the only thing I agree with him on.

I do believe that we need to be a bit less involved in world affairs. I also believe that we should address the disparity between imports and exports. I am wise enough to know that I have no idea if these things are even feasible or how to implement them.

A good way to be less involved in world affairs is to drastically increase your military budget.
A good way to address the disparity between imports and exports is to antagonize and even demonstrate open hostility to your trading partners.

Even moderate republicans, who Paul Ryan admitted have not actually been interested in governing for the last 10 years, will shit their pants at a $1 trillion budget increase.

What does this have to do with what I said aside from containing some of the same words? How do you get support for ANY of Trump's actions from what I am saying? Who are you talking to? What are you talking about?
To say he has good ideas when he's acting in direct opposition to those ideas is the definition of worthless.
Not to mention Trump has probably held every position under the sun on time or another, so pinning down his ideas is a quixotic effort to begin with.

President Donald Trump does not want House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) to step down, White House chief of staff Reince Priebus said Sunday
This was strictly coincidental, Priebus said during an appearance on Fox News Sunday.
Asked plainly if Trump wanted Ryan to step down following the failure of the party to pass a repeal-and-replace bill for Obamacare, Priebus replied: No, he doesnt.
There ya have it, folks. It was nothing more than a mere coincidence!

Wow this video is incredible. In trying to absolve Trump she makes him seem like the weakest most incompetent idiot around.
Just astounding
Only thing more astounding is when she asks how all this happened​, how all these Jokers slapped this shit together destined to fail.
How they did they not know?
How in the fuck did this happen. 7 years of foaming out the mouth. And they dropped the ball and gave up in what. 18 days? Just incredible.

The top comments on their fb page are shitting on him and repubs haha, for now anyway.
They should have asked him if Trump wants Preibus to step down. Rumors are circulating that he does.
Giving up big poker insights here. Nobody has ever done that before. It hasn't been in every TV show or film forever either.
Genius. Can't wait to hit the cards tonight boiiiiiiiii.

AGAIN, this is why he did not receive my vote. AGAIN, he said a couple of things that I thought we should think about and AGAIN since I didn't vote for him how does what he's saying or doing currently have anything to do with me? This is what has and continues to kill us liberals. This is the why we failed because we were so busy feeling good about our moral superiority that just enough uninformed and plain stupid voters chose Trump. It wasn't just Neo-Nazis and bigots, it was also "Bernie or bust" voters that acted like no one would choose bust.
