Will Trump Be the Last Republican President ?
American Thinker ^ | 11/12/18 | Brian C Joondeph

Posted on 11/12/2018 4:45:58 PM PST by chiller

I believe that Donald Trump will be the last Republican president many of us will ever see in our lifetimes. We hope that he will serve two terms, but even that is not a given, despite his popularity both personally and of his MAGA agenda. I’ll call it the three D’s, in honor of Trump’s first name Donald – demeanor, demographics, and deception. (snip)...In other words, Trump is a one-off, an exception. Unlike Obama, Trump is the one we have been waiting for, after a string of wet noodles named Bush, Romney, McCain, and Ryan to name a few. But the Republican bench is thin. Who is the heir apparent? I don’t see anyone with the charisma, fire in the belly, energy, and commitment to conservative principles and values.

And as a bonus we get one maybe two more anti-baby murder SC Justices and overturn Roe V Wade. Maybe even get rid of the unconstitutional gun restrictions in NJ. You’d love that wouldn’t you?

No..he is INELIGIBLE and please don’t try to claim that after Obama, it won’t matter. Dems get away with MURDER; GOPers ( and especially anyone of the Trumps aren’t even supposed to be allowed to breathe.

Our managed decline will turn into a nosedive.

***************

Just wait until economic reality catches up with us. Our national debt is already at a staggering $21.7 TRILLION, but even worse is our unfunded liabilities of $115.5 TRILLION. Eventually this will weigh heavily on the economy, and the federal debt will worsen with higher interest rates.

The only bright spot is that when Democrats get back in control they won’t be able to spend with abandon...unless of course they raise taxes at which point their destructive policies will destroy the economy by disincentivizing business to produce and people to work.

Fun times ahead.

If we had elected Trump in 1988 instead of GHW Bush we might have stopped the theft of our country.
We are now over 30 million illegal aliens down the road to becoming North Mexico.
We have been fighting off amnesty attempt after amnesty attempt.
BOTH parties have been preventing US from stopping the invasion.
The election of Trump is the absolute last chance.
Build the wall, deport them all.
If we fail, we lose our country.

It’s all common sense. The demographic numbers just don’t lie. Don’t believe those numbers? Pull up the voting color trend that’s spreading from the Mexican Texas border, north. The numbers don’t lie. Trump is nothing but a speed bump to the inevitable.
Before CA was swamped with lefty immigrants this state was red. Now? There will never be another republican gov. The country is headed in the same direction.

.... Once the Electoral College and what is left of Constitutional Law are done away with .... We will be run by European Style Socialist Elites with all politics controlled by the same. The new and subsequent crops of Socialist Infused ATIFA influenced Useful Idiot operatives emerging from our High School and College/University Campuses will all but ensure that this happens.

..... Sadly .... It appears that Common Sense and understanding the concepts of "Cause and Effect" and "Responsibility for your Actions" has now been bred out of the succeeding generations that will be the next up to take the helm of this Nation.

..... The promise of cool "Guaranteed Free Stuff" is rather hard to fight against with the argument that "Success is garnered through Hard Work and Dedication."

80% of LEGAL immigrants vote for the Democratic party. That’s been the arrow through the heart of the republic. Illegals are a side-show.

Trump isn't an emperor, king, nor dictator and has only been on the job for 2 years!

So just WHAT do you imagine that he COULD have done, and either hasn't or won't do ?

“unless of course they raise taxes at which point their destructive policies will destroy the economy by disincentivizing business to produce and people to work”

They couldn’t care less. In fact they want that.

They aren’t going to try to correct our fiscal situation, they will destroy it. It’s easier to enslave the starving under dictatorship than it is to convince a prosperous country.

No offense, but is this the Eeyore thread?

(In my best Eeyore voice:) “It’s all for naught.” “Wish I could say yes, but I can’t.” “Most likely lose it again, anyway.”

Come on people. Fight!

Since 1980 I have seen what is being discussed here happen to CA. Now it’s happening to the country and there are still non believers. Hey, wanna keep your head in the sand, go for it.

You are correct. We have no idea of what’s ahead, or how voter sentiments will change, mature. This snapshot from a midterm may not mean much. Dems are not the cure-all....that’s for damn sure.

I remember when Obama said ‘you think ‘they’ should have to learn English? Maybe you need to learn Spanish!’. This travesty has been coming for a long time.

Correct. The Communist Democrats and the Communist Media have fought him tooth and nail. Including the NeverTrumper scum. Some of which, thankfully, are still banned at FR.

I am a strong pro-Second Amendment man in New Jersey, of course I want a justice who wants a strong 2d amendment.

Trump needs a little protege - a sidekick to train in the master's ways. It's not Pence and its not any of his kids or inlaws.

He needs to recruit a Navy Seal, business man, rock star, ladies man, entrepeneur astronaut and teach him all the tricks to make journalosers cry.
