That has a nice sound to it, and given Colbert's comments over the weekend, perhaps the late night host is truly thinking of running against Donald Trump in 2020. And if he did, Colbert very well could be the ideal candidate to crush the current President come November 2020.
Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, speaks to reporters about Senate Republicans released health care bill on Thursday at the U.S. Capitol. To succeed in gutting health coverage for millions of Americans, Senate Republican leaders need to get a series of lies accepted as truth.
"It's not going to get any easier," Cornyn said at a Koch network summit, the Los Angeles Times reported. "We don't have the luxury of waiting around."

President Donald Trump is bemoaning what he calls "the level of hostility" that he says has stymied bipartisanship in Washington. While discussing the Republican health bill during an interview on "Fox & Friends," Trump said it would be great if lawmakers from both parties could "come up something that everybody's happy with."
