I believe George Washington lost a lot of battles during the Revolution. The British were good at the art of war. But Washington stayed in the game and focused on strategy and he triumphed in the end.
More disgusted by the ‘Progressives’ behavior in this. The war on Trump and his supporters has just begun.
I was a Cruz supporter in the primaries. But Trump has done more than enough good for me to trust him even if he doesn’t win every round. I was slow to come around, but I won’t quit him early either!
How many things that you wanted done today would have been done by Hillary?
Today is a good day.
Thank you. It’s like people think he has the power to singlehandedly fund and build a wall. HE DOESN’T. He’s doing his part, people, so calm down. Yes, Ann Coulter, I’m talking to you.
Was this really about the wall or was this about Trump keeping Democrats from pursuing their objectives in the house? Lets assume Trump knew he would never get Pelosi to agree. Why then pursue a losing strategy?
From the outset I never expected Pelosi to agree. My belief is that Trump always knew he would have to use presidential powers to achieve wall and that the shutdown was for other purposes. Stall dem legislation, control narrative, delay impeachment, divide Democrats, ??
That’s because the demographic problem is THE biggest problem there is. If the majority of the population is replaced then all of these other victories will effortless by reversed, quite possibly permanently. Personally, I think it may be too far gone and it would require too harsh measures that even people here won’t be able to stomach.
If we don’t get immigration under control none of the rest of it will matter.
It’s amazing how one seeming defeat can make some people forget years of victories. Here’s some for the naysayers.
From Wikipedia: “As of January 23, 2019, the United States Senate has confirmed 85 Article III judges nominated by President Trump, including 2 Associate Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States, 30 judges for the United States Courts of Appeals, 53 judges for the United States District Courts...”
We are only two years into his first term. He has a real chance to get a third SC justice. The economy is strong (in spite of “economists” and the media constantly talking it down). The tax bill passed. China is suffering under tariffs. Manufacturing here, that was thought to be gone forever, is spinning up.
Quit letting yourselves be manipulated and look at the long game.
President Trump has challenges not only from hostile democrats and turncoat GOP, but also from misplaced anger from his supporters.
“We lost a fight. We have not lost the war.”
We lost a fight, but we’re winning the war.
And President Trump will also be able to triumph, and so will we with him
There's really not much Trump could have done better. Even before winning he was surrounded by deep staters, FBI informants, GOPe, etc. After winning it was even worse. Comey turned out to be nothing but a sleezy FBI informant. But Trump kept his old friends and family close. One just got hauled away in a pre-dawn raid. When that happens you know that Trump chose well.
Some of these friends and family are not the best advisors (e.g. Jared) but they are way way better than the alternative which is more GOPe and deep staters.
I was a Cruz supporter also. Trump is a former democrat, and I didn't trust him. I didn't believe he could do everything he promised, and I didn't believe he would even try. So far I have been wrong on almost everything. Trump's fixation as President of the United States is keeping his word on his campaign promises. So far no Wall, but we still have two more years and probably six more years. I'd like to see that victory start on February 15, plus perhaps a month for the legal shenanigans from America's enemies and corrupt Obama judges. In any case, I'm not giving up, and I am admitting that Trump was a much better choice than Cruz would have been.
Trump gave it his all, but he failed to move public opinion. No deflection or distraction can change that fact. Trump’s greatest attribute is that he is a straight shooter. What he shot yesterday had ‘bull’ in front of it. It failed at both inspiring his base and winning new supporters. His face saving speech was insulting. In his next speech, he’d better wear the top hat and tails of a magician as it will be time to pull a rabbit out of a hat. I can’t ‘trust the plan’ based on yesterday’s ‘this time I really mean it’ threat.
The problem is the public is more concerned about Netflix raising their price 2 bucks a month than they are with the invasion.
He needs to declare the emergency at the first sign of this joint committee taking up “comprehensive” immigration reform (which I predict they will). If he doesn’t, 20 Pubbie Senators and 55 reps will side with the Dems and pass a veto-proof bill that will collapse Trump support.
We’re winning scrimmages left and right,
We’re losing the big games though.
Even Kavanaugh.. Gets in and starts agreeing with the left.
We’re getting great wins in the expo, but when it comes to things that really matter we’re not doing too good.
I’m not a never trumper, again - I have to say that I will support his re-election time and time again. I would go to war for our POTUS and he is, without bias, one of the best presidents we ever had. Better than Reagan .
I loved Reagan. But even he sold our gun rights up the river to the left and those who would love to see us disarmed, harmed and enslaved.
The border isn’t just “an issue”. Speed limits and land grabs are “an issue”. We are being invaded by hostile forces looking to parasite off us at best, at worst I do recall that 3 nuclear fissible materials have been stolen from Mexico and South America.
And my gun rights are not an issue. They are my hill that I am dying on.
The Trump has caved or Trump is toast people have retreated ..at least until the next time the media or Glenn Beck or Ann Coulter or whoever they are listening to.. starts talking their defeatist non-sense again.
Nah - he ain’t done yet and won’t quit unless too many snowflake concern trolls jump ship like the ‘Rats they resemble....
