Score the Hundred Days
vanity ^ | April 18, 2017 | Nathan Bedford

Posted on 04/18/2017 1:41:49 PM PDT by nathanbedford

On March 30th of this year, Jim Robinson published a vanity titled, The sooner the president realizes that Ryan is an establishment swamp dwelling snake... advocating a series of recommendations for Donald Trump to change course and pursue. No well-intentioned conservative could disagree with any of Mr. Robinson's recommendations.

Further, no well-intentioned conservative could disagree with his conclusion: And I guarantee you that if he [accomplishes the list of recommendations beginning with "repeal Obamacare"] he will go down in history as one of the greatest president ever!

As we draw to the end of the first 100 days at which time an administration is traditionally judged on its accomplishments, I have taken the liberty of listing Mr. Robinson's recommendations in his own words while providing a place for the conservative reader to judge and signify whether Donald Trump is undertaking Jim Robinson's recommendations and, if so, to signify whether Trump is succeeding.

I have tried to provide fair characterizations for the reader to register his judgment. In some instances there will be overlap. For example, I believe the injunction to "deport them all" is mixed with a "good start" for the vigorous prosecution that we have seen but also a "betrayal" because the administration has reneged on its promise concerning DACA. To the degree that the reader judges that more than one category applies, he can simply indicate more than one category. I have necessarily stipulated arbitrary categories so that the forum can perhaps come to some sort of consensus. I also recognize that at this stage, 100 days, it is unreasonable to expect virtually any undertaking to be fully accomplished (even the appointment of Justice Gorsuch, as encouraging as it is, does not complete the recommendation for all judges to be appointed).

With these shortcomings in mind, here are Jim Robinson's recommendations from the above noted vanity written as he wrote them but presented here as a list for you to score.

If you are unhappy [with the scorecard] it is not the scorecard but the answers which trouble you.

There you go again with your uncontrollable snark.

So what is your grade? I'm not referring to your biased "betrayal responses", which I guess have not been published yet.

But what letter grade do you give hiim? It shouldn't be that difficult to come up with A, B, C, D, or F.

I give him a solid "A".

What say you, O' biased one?

Prince of Space: don't waste your time. Nathan Bedford is incorrigible with respect to treating this President with even a modicum of fairness. He always falls on the side of gratuitous negativity...

I was never against Trump's presidency, I was very much against his nomination.

Pathetic~

If you are so distressed about the questions in that scorecard that you have to divert attention to me, I suggest it is not the questions which you fear but the answers.

That's the second time you've made that disingenuous comment—however quaint rhetorical flourishes don't change objective reality.

Your resort to that comment is what is most informative—it amply illustrates your own negative bias, suggesting there's something to fear from honest answers, when precisely the opposite is true.

There's nothing to fear from any set of honest answers, because those given in such a spirit will thoroughly demonstrate President Trump's incredible winning record and tendencies.

And, conversely, those answers which are suffused with unfairness and negative presumptions—such as yours, for example—can be legitimately dismissed as being the predictable and hysterical product of an incorrigible Trump-hating mind.

Notwithstanding that, I continue to hold that it is at least marginally hazardous to engage in speech which has as its effect—whether intentional or not—a tendency to undermine morale, something which is highly inadvisable during times of war—which is the current state of affairs.

In such times as these, perceptive patriots should take great pains to avoid advancing the propaganda aims of the Enemy—especially those with a clearly established record of bias against key leaders of the Revolution—President Trump, for example...

You're utterly incapable of anything even remotely resembling a fair-minded "valuation" of President Trump.

I concur. Nate never supported Trump and did everything he could in his own little world to undermine and compromise the Trump. And he still is. This guy putting up questionnaires or polls regarding Trump are 100% fake.

You are a horse's ass. Posting this stupid survey here and teasing us that your own "scorecard has been prepared and will be published later" as if anybody could possibly care what you think about President Trump. A man that you did not even support for the nomination. You are so dishonest and disingenuous.

You are also a pompous ass. Always posting with that image of the Confederate General...yeah, like he would endorse the BS that you post. Nathan Bedford Forrest must be rolling in his grave that somebody like you have appropriated his image and his name. Pretty despicable on your part to presume that you would speak for him some 138 years after his death. Also very presumptuous on your part to judge our president when your own profile indicates that you are from Germany and not even an American at all.

So where is your much ballyhooed "scorecard" on the greatest U.S. president since Ronald Reagan?

My compassionate advice to you is to try not to let a horse's ass get under your skin as this one quite obviously has done. Perhaps it will help you in controlling your indignation to know that the more vicious the personal attack against the messenger the more naked and defenseless the attacker. Try to understand that you really have nothing to fear from questions derived from such an impeccable source-is only the answers or ignorance which can harm you.

I give you an F. Consistently the most self-satisfied, officious, pretentious, self-righteous anti-Trumper on FR.

We still haven’t seen your Trump scorecard yet. The one you so pompously asked the rest of us to dutifully fill out.
