[“political skills”
Too many have political skills. Too few love America and know how to return her to fiscal solvency and economic health. Worship at the feet of Reagan & JFK. I will measure by results achieved for America & Americans in all walks of life, against overwhelming obstruction and adversity.]
It is excellent that we have a forum to exchange ideas. I fervently disagree with your comments but not with your right to express them.
It is a pity that you paint with such a broad brush and ignore why Trump was unable to repeal DACA despite a concerted effort. Perhaps those other “politically skilled” operatives you admire had something to do with DACA persisting. You are wrong about the wall and wrong about the significant defanging of Zerocare as well.
“Trump failed to build a wall”
Only to someone with an axe to grind does building 450 miles of new border wall constitute, failing to build a wall.
“[Trump] failed on repealing DACA”
Trump’s DHS rescinded DACA. His recission was challenged, and US Distric Judge William Alsup placed a temporary stay on the order, pending the outcome of the appeal. On June 8, 2020, SCOTUS ruled against Trump in a 5-4 decision.
At the time of the decision, Ginsburg was still on the Court, as was Breyer who were both joined by Roberts, Sotomayor and Kagan in the majority decision. Trump’s efforts to work around SCOTUS’s decision were cut short by the outcome of the election.
“[Trump]failed on improving Obamacare”
Trump signed legislation to repeal the individual mandate. A complete repeal was torpedoed by John McCain. Undoubtedly, full repeal would have been achieved by DeSantis /s.
“[Trump] set the country up for trillion dollar annual budget deficits.”
Riiiight. It wasn’t Bush or Obama. It was Trump
Trump has had more success than any president in fighting the Uniparty. To judge him as below average because he wasn’t able to reverse everything in four years is not the judgement of a serious person. And to believe that DeSantis or any other professional politician would have had more success is beyond foolish.
