I didn’t read the article but Donald does this just by his very existence, he doesn’t have to do anything, though it’s great when he does things to bother them further

Not only are the Democrats in trouble, but so is the liberal wing of the Republican party. And most of this has nothing to do with ideology. It has everything to do with a President whose agenda benefits all the citizens of the country and the political class is openly in revolt.

The Democrats chant of “Republicans hate (insert group here)” didn’t fly in 2016 and won’t fly moving forward. The Republicans chant of “We will fix (insert issue here) will no longer fly as they had 8 years to do something and now that they can do it unopposed they won’t.

What Republicans should fear most is like the Democrats, they no longer have anything to run on. They cannot run on fixing the border, lowering taxes, repealing Obamacare or any of Trump’s signature items. That shipped has sailed. The only thing they can run on is, “at least we aren’t communists.”

And many of us on the right are starting to wonder about that.

There might be an investment opportunity here by loading coal in their panties and selling the resulting industrial diamonds created by all that twisting.

Yeah, that statement baffled me, too.
And then there was the one about LITTLE GIRL who saw emperor had no clothes.

The R’s won Kansas, to replace Mike Pompeo.

The R’s won Georgia, to Replace Tom Price. (The race where Dems spent MILLIONS and lost)

The R’s won South Carolina to replace Mick Mulvaney

The R’s won Montana to replace Ryan Zinke. (this was where the R body slammed the reporter)

Don’t know of any D wins

I was going to say something similar. That the Democrats decided to drive themselves crazy.

“Trump was definitely to the left of Hillary Clinton on foreign trade and international military engagement. “

Can anybody explain that sentence? Are there any examples?

That made no sense to me either so I stopped right there.

Can somebody explain what that means?

I suspect it’s because Trump appears so simple and mercurial about it. His political positions seem to emerge off-the-cuff, by twitter or impromptu press conference or whim. Like the little girl who declared the emperor had no clothes, he appears to be discombobulating the body politic without any evidence of scheming or careful calculation.

Good grief...How do you really feel about out President...

The politics of the Republican party make no sense. They could deliver on campaign promises and gain seats in ‘18.

But, this system of government is no longer about political parties. It's about a bureaucracy.

Free Trade is a neo conservative globalist tenet that came into vogue in the late 20th century.

Paleo Conservatives are protectionist. Check this excerpt from the 1924 Republican Platform:


We reaffirm our belief in the protective tariff to extend needed protection to our productive industries. We believe in protection as a national policy, with due and equal regard to all sections and to all classes. It is only by adherence to such a policy that the well being of the consumers can be safeguarded that there can be assured to American agriculture, to American labor and to American manufacturers a return to perpetrate American standards of life. A protective tariff is designed to support the high American economic level of life for the average family and to prevent a lowering to the levels of economic life prevailing in other lands.

In the history of the nation the protective tariff system has ever justified itself by restoring confidence, promoting industrial activity and employment, enormously increasing our purchasing power and bringing increased prosperity to all our people.

——he appears to be discombobulating the body politic——

That phrase is the translation of “he’s not Presidential”. Words have meanings. He’s the President of the United States. The world is listening to the President. yada yada yada water off a duck’s back

All that can be weaponized in the tweets. Trump can be extremely imprecise and the presstitutes go crazy in an analysis of every syllable. The Tweets are actually cudgels used to beat his distractors about their head and shoulders. Trump knows that the correct way forward is attack, attack, attack

From the cheap seats, it is supremely satisfying to watch

Well, it drives them crazy, er...crazier, because the poll numbers for Trump are bogus and they know it. They have made total nincompoops out of themselves and all they have to show for it is that they are lying vessels of hate, traitors to America.
