He followed through on some, but not others, like every President. I was mostly, but not entirely, pleased with his performance from a policy standpoint, but much less pleased with his performance as a political leader.
I ask, do you agree that he should be impeached? The Constitution aside, has he committed reasons for impeachment?
No. I think he bears some moral responsibility for what happened on January 6, but he did not commit a crime. He either knowingly or negligently deceived his own supporters in the weeks leading up to it about the facts of the election and about the Constitution, and he acted recklessly in sending them to march on the Capitol. But he did not incite a riot or commit any other crime, and that's the standard for impeachment in my book.
Do you feel Trump has been betrayed by those who have turned on him? In my view they never supported him in the first place because HE HONORED HIS PROMISES. Which is more than I can say for most of the gop.
No. I don't think anyone "turned on" him, even though he certainly turned on his own supporters like Kemp, Raffensperger, and Pence. The figure who has shown the most disloyalty in this whole sorry affair has been Trump.
How did Republicans fail to support Trump?
Outside of confirming judges, most of the establishment abandoned Trump and he was forced for the most part to find other ways to maintain his promises to the base. Not only did he have the communist left to fight, he also had to fight many rinos within the gop.
How long has the establishment wing of the gop promised such things as border enforcement only to abandon their promises once re-elected?
How many within the moderate and establishment wing of the party made promises to the base voters only to be re-elected and then show their true colors by showing alligence to corporate donors who would rather have open borders and send jobs to china?
I could care less that bad orange man offended the spineless moderates. What I value is commitment to keeping his word. And he had moved mountains to do just that in spite of those that fought him every step of the way.
I am not a republican, nor do I care about the gop. What I care about is those who honor their promises. I’m done voting the lesser of two evils.
