Where’s that winning?

The wall that hasn’t been built or funded?

Trump’s proposed gas tax hikes for infrastructure?

His stated desire to give illegals amnesty? The failure of his subordinates to indict or prosecute any of the Clinton and Obama cartels for their numerous felonies?

With regard to guns, his tweets in favor of:

Banning bump stocks?

Raising the age to own rifles to 21? Increasing background checks in a way that creates a de facto national gun registry?

It’s not panic. It’s recognizing Trump is a populist who does not understand or care about the Second Amendment...and who has failed to deliver on many things he has promised.

Apparently he’s too busy playing 5D chess for you sycophants who refuse to hold him accountable.

BS. What a total load of crap. Go crawl back into your #NeverTrump hole.

The wall is slowly coming to fruition, and that chore depends majorly on Congress. But you already knew that. So you can take that issue up with your Congressman.

"Proposed gas tax hikes?" Oh, my, the sky is falling! Half of these points you're wringing your hands about are just things that have been mentioned or suggested—not anywhere close to being implemented. It's called being a politician, and floating ideas. There are not even any bills in Congress for any of this stuff.

How about paying attention to what actually has ben accomplished—which is a heck of a lot, and none of which you care to mention, because it doesn't suit your Trump-bashing.

"Desire to give illegals amnesty"? Again, more utter garbage. The President proposed a pathway to citizenship for a relatively small number of a certain category of immigrants. And the "pathway to citizenship" is lengthy, arduous, and takes several years. So it's just more hysterical extremist pearl-clutching.

Moving right along. "The failure of his subordinates to indict or prosecute any of the Clinton and Obama cartels for their numerous felonies?" If you can't see that this is starting to happen, you're totally oblivious. Yes, the President has been in office for a whole year. So sorry he hasn't been able to meet your ridiculously unrealistic need for instant gratification. A process to do what you're wishing for is extremely arduous, and must be done with great deliberation—not on your absurdly abbreviated time schedule. A process like that takes years, or you haven't been paying attention in the last several decades.

"Banning bump stocks?" The NRA itself has supported this! How terribly "extremist" of the President!

"Raising the age to own rifles to 21"? In many states kids can't drink until they're 21. I think the age should be uniform for voting, drinking, being drafted, etc. but 21 isn't out of the realm of reason, given what we know about biological development. Such legislation is, at best, months down the road. And you act as if it's already on the President's desk to be signed.

"Increasing background checks in a way that creates a de facto national gun registry?" That's just flat out fear mongering. Background checks could clearly be improved without creating a national gun registry. National gun registration simply won't happen from this President, and you know it.

It’s not panic. It’s recognizing Trump is a populist who does not understand or care about the Second Amendment...and who has failed to deliver on many things he has promised.

No, it is panic. Abject, hysterical panic. The same panic we've heard all along the way for Gorsuch, Tax-breaks, immigration, trade, the Paris Climate Agreement, Syria, and on and on.

In every case, the #NeverTrump crowd goes absolutely hysterical, and in every case, their terror is proven to be totally unjustified.

Apparently he’s too busy playing 5D chess for you sycophants who refuse to hold him accountable.

Sycophants, my ass! We're in the midst of a civil war here, and if you see fit to aid and abet the Enemy with ridiculous hysteria which has been refuted for a year straight, then please go do it elsewhere.

The President has been held accountable all along the way, and he's done great so far.

As for what "D" chess President Trump is playing, all I can conclude is that it's a least a dimension or two beyond what you are apparently able to perceive.

The President—a man who never ran for anything before, and with no prior political experience—has been in office all of one year, 25% of one term—and you're griping about him not having delivered on many things he has promised? You do realize he's not a dictator, don't you? You do realize he has to work with the federal legislature as constituted?

Your bleating is absolutely ridiculous, and it's clear how disingenuous you're being.

President Trump has earned our loyalty and trust a dozen times over at this point—as well as the benefit of the doubt.

So take your Tokyo Rose routine elsewhere, because all you're doing is undermining morale with patently hysterical fear-mongering—self-indulgent #NeverTrump garbage...

I voted for Trump, i.e. your #NeverTrump claim is a load of B.S.

Calling out his policy failures and broken promises to conservatives is not aiding the enemy. That’s the same schtick we got for failing to kiss Romney and McCain’s backside...or buy into W’s misnamed compassionate conservatism.

Trump hasn’t earned loyalty. This isn’t a dictatorship. He deserves to be challenged every time his populism slips into advocacy for left-wing causes (e.g. gun control and amnesty).

It isn’t playing 5D chess for him to advocate for those positions. It’s B.S.

And you’re an unquestioning sycophant for defending the indefensible.
