Well, there was this little thing called a VOTER REBELLION that occurred last November. Neither party wants to take responsibility (yet) for their own shortcomings, and neither party wants to admit (yet) that it's really happening. It'll take another election or two where the voters throw the bums out before they start getting the message.
It's way too early to send the success or failure of Trump's presidency to the jury, but I'm still happy. He already saved the nation from complete collapse under either Jeb Bush or Hillary Clinton, the two uni-party favorites.
The establishment elites from both parties hate him to the core and will not lift a finger to help him move his agenda, so it's going to be doubly hard to succeed. But again, at least Hillary's agenda is not under consideration nor is Jeb's.
If Trump can horse trade and wrangle in his border wall, his tax cuts, continue his cuts to the EPA and other strangulators and get jobs and the economy moving again, and continue getting his conservative judicial picks conformed, then his presidency will definitely be a big WIN.
Meanwhile, we keep the rebellion moving. Lot's of Cantorizing yet to be done.
It was certainly unexpected to see Trump "horse-trading" with the likes of Pelosi and Schumer but the ineptness of the GOPe leadership drove him to it. I'm confident that Trump has our best interests in mind and will get as much as his agenda enacted as he can under we, the voters, give him a Congress and Senate that will actually work with him.
That said, Pelosi and Schumer are the ones looking awful here. For months, they condemned Trump as the devil incarnate. Now they are singing his praises? Will be interesting to see how this all ends.

Two Things.
1. Hillary Clinton IS NOT president.
2. Neil Gorsuch.
I agree 100%!
Add to that list, repeal Obamacare and don't sign off on amnesty.
Agreed.... I would like to add that I believe the underlying goal of both parties is to make sure this outsider fails so Americans never consider any future outsider. Trump succeeding will encourage future talent to run. The only thing congress cares about is protecting their job and exclusive club. If Americans wake up and realize that those in Congress (politicians) are the bottom of the barrel in terms of intellect, character, and accomplishments.....they all lose their jobs. The argument ‘not qualified for public service’ will no longer matter. Folks will vote for those with accomplishments, not rhetoric.
Amen, Jim!
We need to support President Trump, not put forth the doom and gloom.
Shouldn’t this be posted in chat?
:)
Bump Jim. Excellent thoughts.
Her last hurrah at rallying the female lib vote, claiming The Donald done her dirty along with his pal Bad Vlad. Beyond pathetic ! !
At least we are finally back in the fight! This is the first President since Reagan that has our best interests at heart. He may not be perfect but he’s the one we’ve got and when you come right down to it, he’s actually better than what we deserve.
Amen to both! In the first episode of “American Horror Story” which is loosely based on last years election, as the reality of the Trump victory was setting in, the female lead went into a whole new hissy fit, wailing “Merrick Garland! Now what is going to happen with Merrick Garland???” followed by more blubbering.
Fact: If Trump had not won, the Supreme Court would be lost.
Think about that ust that ONE thing for a while, especially those of you who leave fingerprints on your pearls every time Trump says or does anything that deviate from your personal views.
1. Hillary Clinton IS NOT president.
2. Neil Gorsuch.
I would like to add that he forced the GOPe traitors out in the open. We, as a country, now know who most of them are and they are still voicing their anti-American positions.
What we voters do with this information is anyone's guess but Trump has exposed them.
Jim
Your last line is all-important ! If we, as citizens don’t do our part at the polls, Trump will not succeed at the requisite level needed for our long-term survival as a Republic.
Problem is, you can’t trust a Republican politician. Not one. I will NOT, under ANY circumstance, vote for another Republican pol, ever again. They have pi$$ed away any and all respect and trust from the voters. They are scumbags who will not do anything they say, but will kowtow to the establishment directive. The GOP is dead, to me, and to America. It will take a few more elections to get the last gasps out.
He needs to pull his endorsement of Luther Strange and endorse Judge Roy Moore.
I think the Democrats will be the far left party...
Bill Clinton saved them for awhile along with Newt
The GOP is done as we know it...it either becomes MAGA party or has to reform itself
Trump will never give up on his campaign promises...
He may take a little now and go for more latter..
If the rinos are primaried in 2018
If nothing else Trump will do what he said he would do
We need to not listen to all the crap...
I spent a week getting ready for Irma and only got my news from the internet..
Well in Alabama at least he backed the GOPe stooge...
The only place I don't agree with you is nobody is ever going to throw enough of them out to make the difference we would need, sadly.
The economy has shown more rebounding in the 8 months of Trump than the 8 years of Obummer.
Jim, you openly support a man who doesn’t practice alternative nostril breathing or engage in drunken object-throwing temper tantrums. What’s the matter with you?
