    Feinstein stuns San Francisco crowd: Trump 'can be a good president'

    Feinstein stuns San Francisco crowd: Trump 'can be a good president'

    By Edmund DeMarche
    Published August 30, 2017

    U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., stunned a San Francisco audience Tuesday when she said that if President Trump "can learn and change," he could “be a good president.”

    The San Francisco Chronicle reported that Feinstein made the comments during a sold-out Herbst Theater interview. She was onstage with Ellen Tauscher, a former Bay Area congresswoman.

    The paper described the event as a “political lovefest” — pointing out that Feinstein is wildly popular in San Francisco, where she served as mayor for a decade. She was first elected to the Senate in 1992, after a failed bid for governor of California.

    Toward the end of the evening, Feinstein reportedly shocked the crowd when she declined to say that Trump should be impeached and then told the audience that they should be prepared to see Trump complete his four-year term.

    Feinstein serves on both the Senate Intelligence Committee and the Senate Judiciary Committee, both of which are investigating Russia’s alleged involvement in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.

    “The question is whether he can learn and change. If so, I believe he can be a good president,” she said.

    "The question is whether he can learn and change. If so, I believe he can be a good president.”

    The report said, “the crowd reacted with stunned silence, broken only with scattered “No’s and a few hisses and some nervous laughter.” The article said that kind of talk is “never heard in Democratic circles.”

    Feinstein has been a tough critic of Trump. She recently slammed his decision to pardon Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Arizona, saying Trump's action shows a “flagrant disregard for the rule of law in this country.”

    She asserted that the pardon sent a message to police departments across the United States “that racial profiling is OK.”

    On the topic of a border wall with Mexico, Feinstein said she believes Americans would rather send aid to Texas flood victims than pay for a border wall.

    She has also criticized Trump’s transgender military ban and called the nature of Trump’s immigration policies “cruel and arbitrary.”

    The conversation touched on many subjects, but the 84-year-old did not say whether she’ll seek re-election next year.

    Still, Feinstein stood by her comments about Trump, saying, “We have to see if he can forget himself enough and have the type of empathy and direction the country needs.”

    She said if he doesn't, "there are things that can be done."

    Obviously, the Russia Collusion Hoax has totally fizzled.

    Russia headlines have disappeared completely. Funny when people starting asking about the dem's involvement with Russia and demanding an investigation into the Dem's ties to Russia all of a sudden it disappears.

    Yes, it's hilarious! Comey, Clapper and Mueller have risked their whole careers and entire reputations to become Witches in Infamy as players in a phony political Witch Hunt to try to take down a duly elected President of the United States.

    Don't reward the criminal actions of millions of illegal aliens by giving them citizenship.

    Actually I'm impressed and surprised she said this. No matter who the president is one should hope they do well because that benefits our country. Just maybe she was the only grown-up in the room.

    I think she was. Everyone either sat in stone silence shock, or chose to hiss and boo. I appreciated her statement.

    This is the main thing that has puzzled me. The man is the President of our country. Why would you go all out to destroy him and hurt this country in the process.

    If a president is all that wrong, why would that not make you want to work more closely in order to change his/her mind, work together to find common ground and work for the country. It would seem a president you found so objectionable would simply make you work harder - not just try to destroy everything.

    The media, most lawmakers, etc. seem willing to destroy this country to get rid of this president. You really, really have to wonder why.
