If you think Trump is in vote winning territory, well, I hate to say it but you're just deluding yourself.

Not to say he can't get there but making deals with Pelosi and Schumer and, giving Dreamers amnesty is not going to do it. When you've got rabid supporters like Ann Coulter pissed, and rightfully so, that says something.

Sorry, I wasn't that dumb. I hoped he'd win but set my expectations low.

There was a very good chance the election could have gone a different way. Moreso if the Dems hadn't been dumb enough to rig their primary in favor of Clinton.

The fact that the EC vote in his favor was sizable but, how that EC win came about should be concerning to even the most delusional #EverTrumper. You do realized he pulled off his EC win with just 107,000 votes in 3 swing states, right?

Don't worry sco'... I'm totes sure, he's done nothing to flip 107,000 votes in those states so far! He's got that 2nd term nailed!
Why are you so biased?  If you want to play with 107,000 votes, I can do the same.  Flip 107,000 votes in Trump's favor, and he wins the following states: New Hampshire, Maine, Nevada, and Minnesota.  Yes, Minnesota.  And you never-Trumpers laughed at Trump for visiting Minnesota during the campaign.  

Also, if you total the Republican/libertarian vote and compare it to the democrat/green party vote, Trump picks up another 30 EV (not counting Colorado, which would have gone to a recount because it would be so close), AND Trump wins the the popular vote.

Finally, consider the impact of the vote fraud commission and the crackdown on illegals.  That is going to be good for another 1-3% of the vote in 2020.

IIRC, Coulter wanted Christie to win the primary at one point in time.

He makes no effort to keep his promises.

He supports the Dems.

He surrounds himself with Dems.

Trump Hoped for Elites’ Approval with Democrat Debt Deal

President Trump’s decision to cuddle up with Democrat leaders to make a deal on the debt ceiling Wednesday was reportedly made because of Trump’s desire to be loved — after he came to the conclusion that “people really fucking hate me.”

Axios reports that Trump, who has spent much of his life seeking the adulation of Manhattan liberals, has fallen back on his weakness for flattery and desire to be loved. A Trump adviser told the outlet that he has realized “people” (presumably the elites he was so cozy with in his days as a real estate developer) don’t like him and he looked for a way to fix that.

This reportedly led to the deal he made this week with House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), wherein he cast aside the advice of top Republicans and his White House aides and agreed to a three-month extension of the debt-ceiling tied to funding for Hurricane Harvey.

Perhaps you should spend less time paying attention to those who think their job is to tell you what to think.

Without 60 votes only a limited amount of legislation makes it to a floor vote. Without at least 50 votes, nothing passes.

The Democrats already had the means to block legislation: 46 Democrat senators, 2 "independent" senators who caucus with the Democrats and 3 "Republican" senators who will vote with them when the chips are down.

The agreement on the debt ceiling and a temporary spending bill didn't alter those crucial facts.

The GOPe supports democrats but they do it in a way that doesn't show in the media( the media supports the GOPe). Have you noticed that?

Trump is positioning himself as a democrat so the GOPe has to counter him. Thereby putting republicans and democrats against each other in congress which hasn't been the case (the GOPe and democrats are the same but they lie to the voters that they are not).

That would depend on the willingness of the Republican members to use the filibuster to block legislation.

I'm not convinced they would do so. The fact that they rarely use the other tools at their disposal leads me to believe that enough Republicans would "compromise" so the Democrats could get what they want without resorting to changing the rule.

In the event that Republicans suddenly found a spine    and blocked legislation which was important to the Democrats I agree that they would probably alter the rule.

Admittedly you make a good point with, let's say Cruz, for as far as that goes.

Because I FIRMLY believe Cruz would be experiencing the SAME UTTER HATRED from the GOPe as Trump is experiencing.

The tactics would be the same and the same objective of doing ANYTHING they could to ensure Cruz lost reelection in 2020 would be engaged in by the GOPe.

So what do we do about the GOPe and their OBVIOUS desire to do these things???

Because I am TELLING YOU.........the GOPe would treat them the exact same way they are treating Trump............of that I am about as SURE as I can get with a prediction.

So the GOPe is actually guys like Ben Sass and Rand Paul and Ted Cruz -- you know, the guys who refused to support Trump and his liberal healthcare plan.

The Republicans are working on a plan to save ObamaCare.
The hearings started last week. Two more are scheduled for this week.
Part of the plan is to legalize the subsidies paid to the insurance carriers.

Cincinnatus, please try to keep up.  You're embarrassing yourself.  This isn't really that hard at all.

So you have no representation in congress? There are no "politicians" that you have faith in?

You are outside the system my friend. You are lost. You have no power.

No.  I am a conservative.  My "faith" is not in a party or a politician.

But your undying love and worship for Trump is such that you now side with Pelosi and Schumer.

You think that your blind faith in a politician will give you power.

And now you are defending collaboration with Pelosi/Schumer.

To each his own.

The pundits are too busy talking about "leverage" to discuss unimportant matters such as hearings and subsidies and bills (Oh my!).

For some, if the pundits don't say anything about a subject it never happened.

Trump said "well in that case (since the fucks wouldn't repeal) let it collapse on its own".

Of course, that meant the GOPe would do everything it could to now allow the survival of Obongocare.

Are you certain about this?
#NEVERTRUMP bias sees Trump as a collaborater to aid Pelosi and Schumer.

#PROTRUMP bias sees Pelosi and Schumer as the collaboraters aiding Trump in our agenda.

Please note that only one of these filters correctly predicted the outcome of the election.

Just Sayin.
"Our agenda" is supported by Pelosi and Schumer?

To whom are you referring when you say "our"?
"Our" refers to Trump supporters.

Your bias causes you to read words such as "supported" that are not in my post.

Pelosi and Schumer are being used according to my #PROTRUMP bias.

As previously noted that #PROTRUMP bias allowed me to correctly predict the outcome of the election.

Why is there a 'plan' to save Obamacare?

No plan is required.

Because YOU don't even know who they are, anymore.

We see in this thread, people who think that the best way to fight the "GOPe" is to collaborate with and help Pelosi and Schumer.

When the RINOs and President Trump first trotted out their attempt to turn Obamacare into Trumpcare, the Conservatives in the House refused.

They were demonized by Trump and his sycophants.  

Now we see Trump supporting Amnesty, and collaborating with Pelosi and Schumer.  

And you want to know how we can "fight the GOPe" so that Trump can succeed with his agenda?

Gridlock is looking better and better.

Many powerful interests (insurers, medical care provides, pharmaceutical companies, etc.) are committed to saving Obamacare, at least for a time.
Our heroic members of Congress are dancing to the tune.

Obamacare is the law of the land, thanks to the half-assed attempt to repeal it, AFTER the conservatives blocked the Ryan/Trump plan to own it and rebrand it as Trumpcare.

At this point (well until 2018) I pretty MUCH KNOW that that is what we should be hoping for.

It is a clusterfuck of EPIC proportions and I was a bit naïve in thinking things would turn out a bit better with the current majorities.

I was wrong on that one.

I repeat it is a fucking CLUSTERFUCK!!!
