A member since August, and here you go, not even dry behind the ears yet.
I used to be Cuban Leaf and, before that, Robroy. I’ve been a member since 1998.
Not that that is relevant, however.
I’ve not had television in my home since 1997. I get ALL my news from the internet and NPR, the latter mostly from comic relief.
Because of this, I predicted a Trump win since summer of 2015, assuming he won the nomination. And I saw the dublicity of the MSM and railed against it not only hear but on a few liberal sites. While others here, steeped in the MSM world of liberal propaganda (this includes FOX, btw), I remained confident that Trump would win because of the “non-propaganda” I was reading as well as my analysis of what NPR was saying and Hillary was doing (e.g. campaigning in states she had “locked up”).
When I said “here we go”, what I meant was, “here we go with the spin”.
That being said, I don’t trust Trump as much as many here do. I am a VERY strong conservative. Trump is not a conservative. He brings some serious baggage. However, he’s a far sight better than Hillary, who belongs in the slammer and, probably at the end of a noose.
My real concern is that Trump may fail us in many of our pet issues that we think he’s gonna fix. For me, the single most important thing in this election was the repeal of Obamacare. If we got nothing else, I’d still be elated. But if it is not repealed, it makes the whole bunch of them just part of the #uniparty. All of them.
We’ll see what he does after January 20th. But the election was not the end of it. Now it is important to ensure he does what he said he would do.
I've only been here for five years. But I learned long ago how dreary, dispiriting and usually dishonest a concern troll turns out to be.
In your case it seems the mods must feel the same way.
“I am a VERY strong conservative.”
Well, you’re not the only one. There are many, many of us here, all with issues we think are crucial. Mine is getting rid of illegals - i moved 2300 miles to escape the ruined border states.
Covering pre-existing conditions isn’t only in Obamacare - it was in the Republican alternative to it as well. Keeping a few parts in his new plan isn’t the same thing as not repealing Obamacare.
