I am a lawyer and if you plan on meeting in the middle, you have to stake out a position as far from where you want to end up as possible. So I don’t believe Trump is serious when he makes promises. He is staking out right wing positions so he can meet in the middle when he deals with Pelosi and friends.
Trump is a salesman. As long as you know that what he is promising is not going to come about, then you can vote for him and not be disappointed when he takes a hard left turn. But I truly believe that he is going to be a Yuge disappointment to everyone on this forum.
I could be wrong. But I don’t think so. History repeats itself, and Trump’s history is not a conservative one.
Trump has successfully negotiated big deals for many years. Even wrote a best selling book on it several decades ago. He’s planning on negotiating the best deals possible for America. And he is a great salesman and he is selling the deal and dong a great job of it. Won’t be a bit surprised if he sells a majority of the voters on the concept that America can be great again, and won’t be surprised if he gets that done, too. On time and under budget for a change.
And he is a whole lot more conservative than you think he is. Everything about his immigration, tax, trade and repeal of Obamacare proposals are just about as conservative as you can get (and still get elected).
If I recall correctly, lawyers got us Obamacare in the first place.
Why would Trump have to deal with Pelosi & friends if he has a Republican Congress?
If any of Trump’s lines are “throwaways”, I’d think it’d be that one. But maybe someone should ask him...
