I think when you consider it, most of us voted for Trump not because we were Trump lovers, but we are Drain The Swamp lovers.

It is something he HAS to do.

If not, we'll move on to whoever does. IF any such exists...

Now I will say this about Trump:
He has far bigger stones than any politician I've ever known of, even Ronald Reagan, who I've been a follower of since the 1976 primaries.

I would be dismayed if Trump didn't try as hard as he can.

I'm not sure anyone we've had can come as close.

It's not a done deal, but I think God has placed him here, now, to see which way we as a country will go--blue pill or red pill?

America chose Trump, now, do we sit back and watch or help him?

It will tax your patience.

That federal bureaucracy is as dug in as the Vietcong were in their tunnels. The mantra of the agencies is that they are all politics-proof and will outlast elected officials and appointees.

I’ll never forget the day that Dick Cheney, the SecDef, presented the first post-Cold War DOD budget that sought the so-called “peace dividend” and slashed the Pentagon request.

The caterwauling came from both sides of the aisle and from far and near. When they saw their nearby military installation suddenly targeted for shut-down, or sub-agencies rife with bureaucrat jobs put on the chopping block, well, even the biggest doves in Congress became wild-ass hawks.

The bureaucracy is well-versed in how to sustain itself. It is its ONLY area of true expertise.

1. the level of hate exhibited on this site for Senator Cruz - Who will watch and who will help?

2. Both The Maverick and Linda were up for re-election this year - How did that turn out

I will sit and watch, I will vote to re-elect Senator Cruz - I will vote in the primaries IF my local House member has an opponent.

We should see a Stock market melt down sometime this year. That will be interesting to watch
