Jim, it's scary out. I feel like our President is standing on the brink of a precipice, with our nation's fate and the Constitution in his hands. Will he fall, or will he fight?

Right now FreeRepublic looks a lot like what I imagine Congress looks like. We have one very vocal faction taunting, "Nyah nyah, told ya so! Trump was never going to do any of the things he promised. I was right, I win!"

We have another vocal faction saying, "Trump won't break any of his promises. He doesn't make mistakes (3-D chess). If he says the HFC is the devil, then so it is! If Trump wills it, then kill the HFC!"

Then I think we have a whole bunch of us, perhaps less vocal, watching with a great sense of anxiety and various degrees of foreboding.

I read this article from WaPo, posted on Mercury News, and it gave me a sense of what might be behind all of this internecine warfare happening at the top levels of this Administration. http://www.mercurynews.com/2017/03/19/inside-trumps-white-house-new-york-moderates-spark-infighting-and-suspicion/. It makes more sense than anything else I've read to explain what we're seeing.

I support your post on this thread, and I think we're in trouble.

We have to vocalize when we’re made unhappy, nobody in history seems to be empathic with conservatives, or care. But the told-ya! crap ain’t helpful, either. Could just be a rough patch, but it’s a self-inflicted rough patch, which we don’t have the time or energy to be distracted by/with.

And, we have those (yours truly, included) who are saying NONE of the above, DO support our dear POTUS, but do NOT want a 17% approval rating/0CareLite Ryan Stink bomb!!
