Sorry but Trump made a disastrous mistake by signing this vile monstrosity. He has lost at least 1/3 of his core support and lost an opportunity to revitalize and redefine the Republican Party with a carefully crafted veto message. The people who came out in droves to vote for him in 2016 are now disillusioned and will stay home in 2018 and 2020. The vile Democrats will reacquire power and grave harm will come to the country. There is no sugarcoating this stupidity and its aftermath.

Maaaaayyyybe. But your predictions depend on what happens next, as in before the midterms. Here are events that favor Trump. Finally joining the Trade War against the Chinese who have been in a trade war with us, while we simply allow job losses. OIG report implicating Deep Statist, any more push for gun control by the loons. All favor the good guys.

You brought this lady to the dance. Bow nicely and dance. You could be dancing with a pig wearing a lot of lipstick.
Bet your buds would have loved that.

“Nor do the piss-and-moan crowd here.”

You know, I try to be charitable, but there’s a flock of folks here whose fingers go into gear on their keyboards with nonsensical $hit before they’ve managed to engage their brains. I get really tired of “The Let’s Throw Trump Under The Bus” Bunch,” who crank up that “all is lost” if the President doesn’t fart on cue for them.
But they do have “company’ in the Right wing chattering class. A prime example is Ann Coulter, who $hits on Trump regularly for not following what she considers to be “good” Conservative orthodoxy. I can’t stand this business of counting Trump out day after day, in the face of his record.

No, but I am yearning for a repeal of Obama care, a border wall, an Iran deal clawback,a break slam on federal spending, no additional gun control.

The one thing I did think I got was no Hillary. Not so sure now.

Bullshit! You’re the one with his head in the pits. WHEN in the history of this country has ever a president been faced with the crapheads and pretenders that Trump has been faced with? You and every other naysayer need to stop calling yourselves Americans if you can’t take a little setback with OBJECTIVITY!
There is an old saying, “When the going gets tough, the tough get going!” I belong to that brand of American. You obviously belong to the “instant success” idiots who think everything is as easy as pushing a button. GROW UP!
Trump “has exposed the monstrosity of corruption” since he has been in office. He receives little help from non supporters like you.

Are you old enough to have lived President Reagan's two terms, as an adult?

If not, then if you imagine, for one moment, that Reagan did better, then I have BIG news for ya; Reagan would have REALLY hurt your twee feelings and upset you far more than Trump signing this POS Bill, that none of us like much!

As weak as he is he has still done more for the country than any President since Reagan.

He has fought for nothing and let the Democrats write his agenda.
............................................................
The accomplishments of this president have outshone ANY OTHER PRESIDENT in my lifetime, including REAGAN. The Democrats receive unwarranted support from thin skinned idiots like you who support THEM instead of Trump.

Why don’t you join the Dem Party? You are giving unwarranted credence to their shrill screaming. Chucky loves people like you.

Kurt Schlichter: The absolutely essential military spending was wrapped in a fat suit of glistening, rancid pork, and the congressional rats had already abandoned ship... and fled out of town when it was dumped on his desk.

So he had a stark choice.

Trump could sign it, and enrage his base but ensure our military could prepare for the wars looming on the horizon. Or he could veto it, and launch a government shutdown with about 0% of succeeding in getting a significantly better deal...

Those were the choices... Trump took the right one...Sign the damn thing then work around it best as possible. Thanks Civ.

I know, right? Geez they need to get a grip. It's negative thinkers like that who almost let Hitlery get elected. I volunteered my time, donated what I could, and prayed. Same as I'm doing right now.

The moaning and pissing crowd here fall into 2 distinct categories: 1) the #NEVERTRUMPERS 2)the immature, “feelings NOT thinking, Hogg-like political naifs, who demand instant gratification.

The bill is a bring home the bacon gift to incummbents in congress. Will help the GOP keep the majority. Trump is not on the ballot.

40 Democrat Senators and 111 Democrat Congressmen voted for the Omnibus Bill that Trump signed.

If Conservatives do not hold Trump’s feet to the political fire, who will?
