Trump set the national agenda by opposing illegal immigration and bringing up other issues that the GOPe and their allies desperately wanted to avoid, and now they cant. No one would even be talking about illegal immigration today if Trump hadnt forced the issue.
The GOPe was not prepared for this, and as a consequence they dont have a clue about what to do, hence their almost universal collapse into a pile of quivering jello, flip-flopping like a bag of Mexican jumping beans dumped on a hot griddle. Thats what Trump has done.
Trump has exposed those who pretend to be conservative but are really just fronts for big money establishment campaign donors who purchase their candidates with campaign donations. Thats what Trump has done.
Trump, by actually being a real man, has exposed the other candidates and their allies for the weak little sniveling sellouts that they really are.
Trumps vociferous truth-telling and fearless neutering of the kommie media have been the catalyst that triggered a massive revolt amongst conservative voters who are infuriated at the GOPe Congress doing absolutely ZERO to stop Obamas agenda, and suddenly the GOP RINO leadership is in full blown panic mode and in full blown retreat, and the SMALL conservative House contingent smelt blood in the water, took heart, and charged in against a weakened, frightened and paralyzed GOPe leadership, and Boehner was taken out as a sacrificial lamb. Thats what Trump has done.
Without Trump taking on the enemedia and beating them, the first time this has been done since Reagan, Cruz and the rest would be quivering before their concerted assaults and spending all of their time apologizing for having accidentally strayed into the shallows of political correctness and saying something Black Lives Matter or the Southern Poverty Law Center hate groups hated with consequent massive amplification by the enemedia as they pounded their PC drums against the GOP. Thats what Trump has done.
Trump is absolutely correct when he says that without Trump in the race, everything would be same-ol, same-ol. The Joyful Tippy-Toes Turtle would be creeping closer to the finish line, Boehner would still be safely ensconced as Speaker, and there would be no mention of illegal immigration are any of the issues surrounding it by any politician in either party, other than possibly how critical it would be to pass immigration reform. Thats what Trump has done.
After only four state primary elections, Trump has already taken out all but one GOP RINO candidate. Thats what Trump has done.
Trump has used the enemedia against itself, exposed FNC for being Rupert Murdochs personal propaganda channel, and made the other cable networks realize they can grow their ratings by playing more fairly. Thats what Trump has done.
Trump has attracted the big tent coalition that the GOPe always professed it wanted, but never really did, by appealing equally to all demographic groups, whether they be rich or poor, educated or uneducated, old or young, male or female, blue collar or white collar, north or south, east or west. Thats what Trump has done.
The media are loath to make the connection, but its obvious that the Boehner resignation was yet another falling domino, toppling due to the Trump Effect, because Trumps unabashed truth-telling and fearless neutering of the kommie media triggered a revolt amongst the great unwashed GOP masses which emboldened a few conservative Congress critters to grow a few pairs. Thats what Trump has done.
Trumps coalition of voters have panicked the Senate into growing a backbone and standing up to Obama by refusing to consider any Supreme Court nominee until the next President is in office. Thats what Trump has done.
And our nation wouldnt even be having ANY of these conversations about illegal immigration and the myriad of other Obammunist issues destroying our country if it wasnt for Trump. Instead, wed simply be debating which RINO, GOPe squish would be least likely to be stomped by Hillary, and the GOPe would once again be exhorting the base about how critical it is for us to once again vote for the lesser of two evils, that is, vote for the GOPe side of the Uniparty coin. Thats what Trump has done.
And do note that ALL of the oligarchs and plutocrats are frightened to death of Donald Trump because the billionaires and millionaires cant buy him like all of the other politicians they routinely purchase, because Trump doesnt need nor want their money, and the kommie media is frightened to death of him because he isnt afraid of them either, the bottom line being that Donald Trump can not be controlled by the rich and powerful or the corrupt media, so for anyone who is truly for campaign finance reform and wants to take money out of politics, voting for Trump is the only reasonable choice. Thats what Trump has done.
Donald J. Trump is the very epitome of the anti-social-justice-warrior, and hes galvanized an entire nation of the like minded who have been desperately waiting for years for a leader who could lead them from the desert of political correctness.
President Trump is really the last hope for this country: if he cant undo any of the damage wrought by the Obammunists, the U.S.A. is done.
So least we forget, the above, and much more, are called The Trump Effect.
catnipman, thank you for this very nice informative and enlightening compilation of some of Trump's achievements over the last several months.
Sadly, many here have forgotten Trump's accomplishments in bringing these realities to light. For the most part, the other candidates are now discussing these topics which, until now, were not recognized or have been dormant.
The lawyer/politicians live in their myopic silos and clearly have no clue about free enterprise capitalism. They have never run, much less owned a business.
To their credit, they've done their homework and worked hard to become lawyers (and a doctor), but If asked about corporate inversions, incentives, economics, finance, trade deficits, national debt, labor force participation rate versus unemployment statistics, quantitative easing, etc. and Megyn Kelly flashed these simple illustrations during the debates:
.
With the exception of Carly Fiorina, the other 16 candidates would have this reaction:
.
Many here prefer electing a politician/lawyer who's only life's experience is in a courtroom...
.
Donald Trump lives in the real world, and apparently so do his children, which says something else about the old man.
.
We should ask ourselves, "Do we want to see this as one of our solutions to the immigration invasion into our country?" If you don't think Trump can achieve this vital task, who will?
I would personally cut Cruz a little slack in your post, but ...
‘Donald Trump lives in the real world, and apparently so do his children, which says something else about the old man.’
Right. The only president walking into the White House with more executive experience than Trump was Ike.
That's an important point...
