It hasn’t occurred to me to give up on Trump. So far all we are seeing is The Art of the Deal as distant spectators. We are clueless as to what is going on behind the scenes and equally in the dark as to what form the final deal will take.
In fact, why anyone would give up on Trump at this point is a mystery. He’s a world class negotiator. What Trump supporter wouldn’t at least wait to see what he comes up with?
I’m ready to give up on the people who won’t give President Trump a chance. Certainly the Dems, also the elected Rs in Congress, and many on these threads and elsewhere who call themselves “conservative,” who were ready to abandon him the first second he said or did something that didn’t conform to their expectations. No giving time, no looking beyond the immediate to a longer term solution. Nope, it’s gotta be 100% all of the time, or bye bye. That’s no better than the Dems.
I haven't given up. But I'm getting a little nervous.
Pres. Trump is dealing with a corrupt, uniparty Congress that supported lawless Obama and doesn’t want to support Trump. And while Trump is getting LOTS done as president despite Congress, his first two years in office are arguably for practice.
In fact, it’s up to us patriots to help Trump “drain the swamp” by electing as many new lawmakers as we can in the 2018 elections who will support Trump.
In the meanwhile, patriots need to make sure that there are plenty of Trump-supporting candidates on the primary ballots, candidates who will respect state sovereignty and Congress’s constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers when in office.
If Trump does drop into the Establishment slot and become part thereof thenwe waste our time trying to depose him ourselves or replace him in 2020. There isno other and there is no more time. he is our last shot to do it within the framework of the system. If he does not or cannot get whet we need then we have to make other arrangements with each other and other sorts of preparations.
In such eventuality we must still use the political system as much as possible to stave off the left while knowing that all we are doing is getting civilization a little more time to prepare.
The only ones speaking about giving up on Trump on Free Republic are either weak-kneed GOPe types whose first impulse is to run to the tall grass, #NeverTrump'ers, or paid DeepState provocateurs.
