Dianne Feinstein on Trump: ‘He can be a good president’
 [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.... reportedly stunned a the Socialist paradise of San Francisco ...where God struck dead Anton LaVey, home of the Sydney Ducks, ruled by Vigilance Committee from 1859 through 1867, reliably and volubly Democrat since 1964... 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."
