I agree with the President, but at this point going into mid terms, I am hoping to win over more moderate types. While I think all this sh*thole thing is overblown non-sense, what troubles me is how it plays. My wife is now totally turned off to Trump, is she a bell weather? I dont know, I hope not.

Sure, its the press/media/PC fault, but thats how things stand. Hope he can do more to win over the more moderate types, and less to turn them off. Because bottom line, for me its not about Trump, its about our side WINNING.

I’m with you. All very well to talk about the veracity of saying that some foreign countries are junk (because their governments are corrupt AND corruptING), and to say that crude language might break PC taboos. But the reality of what Tricky Dickie has done - via the enthusiastic reinforcement delivered by unijournalism - is to accomplish two profoundly unconservative things:
  1. Directly damage the international influence of the president of the United States. And,
  2. coarsen our language.

It does not matter whether or not Mr. Trump actually used the precise, or even approximate, words. What matters is that the president was not making a public speech, but making a point in a private discussion. And as I predicted before Mr. Trump tweeted to that effect, Mr. Trump will be instituting his own rule, similar to the “Pence rule” against being alone with any woman other than his wife. Mr. Trump already was wearing a “wire” whenever speaking with a journalist to assure himself against being unable to prove his claim if (when) he has to complain about being misquoted. Now Mr. Trump will never have a truly private conversation with any Democrat. He will always have a “wire.”

A Moderate is NOTHING but a person who allows their opinions to be formed by others.

They don’t, or can’t think for themselves.

They just follow the current “IN CROWD”.
