Right now everything hinges on Paris. If Trump pulls out of this godforsaken destruction of U.S. prosperity, his base will rally. If he sticks with the Paris Accords, his base will abandon him.

I can't believe he hasn't issued a definitive "NO!" already. What's there to think about? The Paris climate deal is one of the worst deals ever.

Hey Nate, STFU! You have sub-zero credibility.

About the only thing I can think of that could make this true is for Trump to discard his campaign promises and sign on to the Paris Accord.

Yep. Without seeing your post, I posted the same sentiments above in post #41.

If he sticks with this, I'm done. I don't expect a wall but I do expect no more bad deals and the Paris Accord is about the worst deal we've ever been a part of.

Hey, Nate called the election right....didn’t he?

He seems to have a pattern of predicting outcomes favorable to the left more than outcomes that are actually correct. I strongly suspect his models don't give him any special insight and he has the same uncertainties as the rest of us, but he tends to fill in the uncertainty with wishful thinking.

How many times can this guy cry wolf and still be believed? He ran out of times long ago. Get lost Nate and change your last name to “lead,” that is what your opinion is worth.

No way! Another survey I read about the other day says Trump supporters still love Trump.

it is looking more possible every day

He's had just a shade over four months. His appointments have had less than that, in some cases substantially less. Democrats, the media, most popular culture, and a fair number of members of his own team are aligned against him.

And yet, with all of these headwinds, conservatives have made larger strides in the past four months than they have in years. Just search FR for "winning" if you don't believe me.

Figure that we've been digging this hole roughly since the end of Reagan's final term. GWB merely slowed the digging down a little, if even that. We're not going to climb out of a 25-to-30-year ditch, overnight.

In 2020, there will be another vote, and we'll see what he's accomplished. Meanwhile, I'm impressed with what I've seen so far.

"These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like Hell, is not easily conquered." — Thomas Payne
Nice. You get it...
