Did he end nation building? Was he "held accountable?"

I would consider the 1994, 2006, 2010 and 2014 midterms "Presidents being held accountable". View Quote Presidents Dole and Romney would disagree with you.

View Quote Where do you think that whole "the silent majority stands with Trump" calling card came from during the primary? The 'silent majority' in ANY country are 99% low/no information types who only want to hear that government 'has their back' and that there will never be any pain - ever. That's exactly how Turdeau was elected in Canada, and that's exactly how Trump won in the US. Pandering to people and telling them that everything sucks because government isn't doing enough for them is a powerful fucking drug. |

So for the Trumptards, why can't you answer a simple question! "Why isn't Trump a RINO?" He makes no effort to keep his promises. He supports the Dems. He surrounds himself with Dems. He lies at every opportunity. He all for buying favors. He's all for throwing money away. He has no morals or principles. Sounds like the exact same reasons why you hate the GOPe... You believe it is Trump's fault. One of us is right, the other is wrong. The GOPe is the swamp. They suck. This is known. Trump was hired to drain the swamp. He has not done this. I still don't know how one can control the GOPe when he/she doesn't have legal or monetary authority over them other than to campaign for new blood in 2018 to dilute the effect of the GOPe. If I was to assign a wild guess percentage ratio of who is at fault I would rate Trump at 20 percent at fault and the GOPe at 80 percent at fault. |

The very first thing the President asked them to pass, was a RINO, Big Government Healthcare bill that would make Obamacare permanent and tie it around the necks of Republicans. Ryan and Trump were in that together. The President lobbied for it, and he attacked the conservatives who blocked that RINO bill. The Conservatives were the obstructionists. They "obstructed" The President and the RINOs' plan to own Obamacare. Since then, what bills that came from the President (as part of HIS agenda) have been "obstructed"? The Repeal Bill was a half-assed reaction to their failure to pass the RINOcare bill, and it was not a clean repeal bill. There is no "conservative philosophy" driving any of this. It's just a mess, with plenty of blame to go around. It HAD looked as though the team had gotten their shit together with tax cuts. They were working on unified messaging and a plan to have a bill by December 15th. Unfortunately, that's now right about the same time that we will need a new CR and extension of the debt ceiling. View Quote Over half of the GOP in congress has no "conservative philosophy" or even acknowledges it. We only have 50 or so politicians that agree with us on full repeal.

The lesson the NevaTrumper refuse to get, if you can not get all you want today, take what you can and come back for more tomorrow. If you can not get a full repeal, repeal what you can and come back at it again later, and do not stop till you get it all. That is how the Dems got us to where we are, same as the NRA and others pushed for CCW for the last 25 years.
