Mama B...there are a hosts of reasons why Trumps popularity is what it is and we’ve heard them all....but he does lack the “stability” and “clarity” of just what he stands for as he himself has stated that “you have to be flexible”.
I’m not convinced Trump can handle Washington in such a way as to accomplish what needs to be done....nor that he will understand “how” that needs to be done to stick. We still don’t know who he would appoint in his cabinet....he’s dodging that as being to early....which it is...but it’s also too early to claim the “winner” which he’s doing.
Most here do have reservations about Trump and with good reason....he needs to have clarity in what he proposes and not just say he can do the job. Most here are listening and want to see that clarity.
“I’m not convinced Trump can handle Washington in such a way as to accomplish what needs to be done...”
He can’t POSSIBLY do worse that the former 1-term Junior Senator from Illinois. If ALL Trump did in the Oval Office was spend 4 years shotgunning Obama’s “legacy” to confetti while Congress kept the country running with the regular appropriations and spending bills, THAT would be a Conservative win, in and of itself. Government non-expansion from the Congressional side — stasis, essentially; and meanwhile in Department after Agency after Bureau throughout Washington, the blazing political guns of the Trump Administration sweep the halls, and the political bodies pile higher; everyone adorned with a toe-tag bearing that same infamous “O” logo.
Trump’s campaign icon needs to be a “room broom.”
