A smart analysis. I say, let the Trump Train roll!
It is called Party Discipline something these preposterous jackass wanna bees desperately need.
You want to be a clown and mug for the Fake Media? Go right ahead, but do not expect the party to support you when you treacherously stab it in the back daily for media attention.
For too long these clowns have had it both ways. Kiss Democrat butt while expecting the party to support them
the Never Trumps need to stop whining. REAL Conservatives understand actions have consequences. They decided to be moronic PR tools for Clinton. They should not expect that sort of behavior to be simply forgotten. They, not Trump, have much to do to atone for since their pompous idiocy in the Fake media almost cost the GOP the election.
Except that is a falsehood. Please show us the details of this $1 Trillion Infrastructure plan you claim Trump is advancing. How about the habitual #Never Trumpers wait and SEE the plan before spending so much time complaining about it?
It would be wise if the habitual Never Trumper wait to see the details of the Infrastructure plan before knee jerk opposing it.
This is an example of the insidious nature of the Fake News.
We have NO idea what the details of the plan are yet. However people, out of concepts of dogmatic ideological purity, are mindless reacting to it all ready based on what they been told to think about it by the Fake News media.
This is another example of people, who have an axe to grind still from the 2016 Primary, looking for something bitch at Trump about.
Nobody better to lead on infrastructure projects than a builder.
Awwww. Poor cupcakes.
1. Senator, one more time for the record: I am not now and never have been a never-Trumper.
2. I am not complaining, I am pointing out the things to consider.
3. Now it is precisely this time to make these considerations known because once the plan becomes a bill there is very little influence that can be brought to bear, therefore, to wait-and-SEE is folly.
4. Trump has "advanced" the idea of $1 trillion infrastructure plan time and again. A politician advances a position first by public statements, trial balloons, campaign slogans etc. This is precisely what Trump has done.
Rather conjure up unreality for you to complain about, why not address the issues about how this will help or hinder the deficit, how the spending will be controlled as opposed to what Obama did with his infrastructure boondoggle, whether spending on infrastructure actually generates new jobs or simply moves the money from being allocated by the private sector to the public sector after taking a cut for the government?
I await your dealing with the actual issues rather than maligning the messenger. I suggest you read my whole reply and note that:
1. I concluded that the infrastructure clearly needs to be upgraded.
2. Trump is a builder who has a history of bringing in jobs on time and under budget.
3. There are arguments on both sides about whether infrastructure spending by government actually creates jobs.
If you had read the whole reply perhaps you would refrain from maligning the messenger.
In politics it best to keep your powder dry rather then fire too soon and be false footed.
Once we actually SEE the Trump plan, they people will know if it need to be opposed in Congress.
Opposing an idea simply because it has “infrastructure spending” in the name is ridiculous. Like it or not, there is a whole lot of Federal infrastructure, such as the Interstate highway system, that must be maintained with Federal money.
One thing I will be looking for in the Trump plan is a re-focusing on actual infrastructure spending and maintenance, not Washington DC “social engineering” schemes pretending to be about infrastructure.
Cutting taxes can actually (an paradoxically) increase federal revenues, as has been evidenced before, specifically during the Reagan era, if I'm not mistaken.
In any event, infrastructure spending which avoids pork, corporate welfare, and which demands strict accountability (which I believe will be a yuge issue for President Trump) would constitute a rare exception to what we have normally come to expect.
Thus, knee-jerk opposition based on a dogmatic aversion to spending is misguided, IMHO. (And I'm not accusing you of that, BTW).
The Establishment needs and deserves all the beatings Trump can give them, brow and otherwise!
Regarding the bamster, I might have said “gerbil” instead of hamster.
Yes!
Winning!
Some of Donald Trump’s proposals, the Texas Republican cautioned, “are not going to line up very well with our conservative policies,”
***************************
Namely, their “conservative” policy of non-enforcement of immigration laws and importing the workers for jobs that can’t be exported.
Exactly.
The MSM is the Country’s greatest threat.
