Wasn’t Barone a NeverTrumper?
You know what’s grating? The GOP’s fetal ball every time a newspaper or a Democrat (possibly redundant) aims mild criticism at them. McCain, Romney, Ryan, Boehner, McConnell, Graham et al.
We’ve watched them take the coward’s way out for decades.
If so, then his conclusions here are wrong.
When Trump says anything that will make the dems or libs outraged (basically when he opens his mouth) I love it, and if it's "grating", well that's just a bonus!
I discovered that on my first trip to Massachusetts and Rhode Island. People were much more curt and sharp, and didn’t interact with the warmth I’ve experienced from the southern part of the United States.
It’s almost as if they don’t know you personally, they default to a standoffish or suspicious demeanor.
You said it.
Ya want STYLE?
....................check out the stupid catwalk.
while I wouldn’t characterize Trump’s first 30 days as particularly chaotic, my favorite retort to those critical has been:
“I’d rather take a roller coaster in the right direction, than a smooth highway going the wrong way”
That grating style is 100% correct. But after you get past it some of those easterners make great friends, coworkers, and sometimes, relatives. I have earned that it is tough on those easterners to work elsewhere because no one else “gets” their style. I put Trump squarely in that category. He is great person masked by his grating easterner style.
Coming from ZERO substance, grating STYLE Number Reader Baloney is that a compliment?
That’s typical lib infested New England. The libs there think they are a cut above the rest.
What you said!
I will never understand why some Freepers seem to get angry when a former lukewarm supporter, or even opponent, comes around to our side.
I think some folks around here would rather nurse their grudges than fix the country.
“If so, then his conclusions here are wrong.”
What kind of nonsense was that? Most people are mistaken about things quite frequently but it does not follow that they are wrong about everything. Evaluate what he said. Is there something you disagree with? If so please share it with the rest of us along with maybe a little explanation of why you disagree.
Never Trumpers suck.
That is typical easterner behavior which is independent of their politics. That Easterner attitude and behavior is not indicative of their politics. Barone’s point is that his substance (mostly solid conservative) is being confused with his style (easterner).
IMO, President Trump’s style is REFRESHING.
As in: it’s refreshing to watch an elected official not go back on campaign promises the first day ...week...or month in office.
It’s very early in his first term but I think he might end up being the most transparent and faithful to his oath in a very long time.
MAGA!!!
And that’s very refreshing.
I didn’t know you controlled the conversation here. Did Jim give you permission to tell people to get off a thread?
