    Here is the real issue. Most of our Trump supporters only joined when it was him or her. No other real option.

    Few here were adamant supporters until then.

    The anti Trumpers didn't have a choice but still would have chosen to put Hillary in office before Trump to show their support of a different candidate that didn't have a chance.

    You must realize this is Trump. He didn't get where he is by rolling over. There is a bigger cause he is going after. Time will tell.

    I think you summed up my thoughts perfectly.
    When it comes to politics and politicians, you rarely get everything you wished for.

    I think Dawico is correct here, this budget bill will only be good until September (I think). Then the whole thing is back up for negotiation. Let's see what happens then, that's when the true colors will come out.

    I would still have voted for Trump. Don't think we had another choice. Seems there is no chance of ever making America great again. Guess we better study our little red books.

    Really doesn't matter if it is Trump, Cruz or somebody else. It's not going to be a fast or easy fix. Anyone that thought it would be is delusional.

    Well no shit. I argued this for months before the election and all the Trump ass kissers just ganged up on anyone who disagreed with them.

    Told ya so.

    I know right? Don't worry the hardcore Trumptskiites are still out there, ready to insult anyone who doesn't stick with the team, just like the Obamaites were before them.

    Your choice was Trump or Hillary. Your choice was a chance to turn the country around or watch the Constitution generally and the 2nd Amendment specifically disintegrate before your eyes. I don't know what you did or didn't say during the election or what was or was not said back to you because of it, but in the heat of an existential battle that must be won in order to survive to fight another day, you don't focus on undermining your side's general.

    There was and is plenty to criticize Trump about but there is also a time and place for it, and during the campaign against Hillary is not that time or place.

    And you still might. It depends on if Trump has a bad night or not, what he'll say the next day.

    Trump has been a dem and Republican back and forth quite a bit, that and his kids are all pro-choice blah blah.

    So yes, he might be a centrist. It is concerning that he walks back on his words, this current bill, and his ultimate lack of good judgment (you can do away with PC without acting like a child).

    As mentioned, Gorsuch was a huge win.

    What we do have to remember, are 2 things:

    He didn't become rich by being stupid. He's a pretty dang sharp marketing guru and business man, and a lot of his methodology is probably not understood.

    Based on that, he's also a negotiator. We knew going in that we'd have to take some losses in order to grab the big wins. With him losing 100% of his legislative bills, it's probably time for him to appear to give up some slack.

    Just my 0.02. I was always a little leery of him in the primaries, but when it came down to the general, I had to back him. I would take Putin over Hillary. Especially after seeing his calendar.

    Life is all about choices and throughout life there are situations where every choice has a negative (evil). To attempt to base an argument on the fact that a lesser evil is still an evil is to argue that there is another option which doesn't exist in the reality of the world we live in. This apples whether we are discussing politics or medical treatments, and anything in between.

    But dang brother when do we win one. We vote we hope, but as soon as they get in power the agenda changes.
    I understand that the peons are just that. But we are the ones getting peed on.

    I knew who Trump was and I'm not surprised.


    The left is reeling, that's a win. We aren't apologizing to terrorists, that's a win. We are holding SCOTUS, that's a win.


    Elect me as supreme dictator and I'll fix everything. 4% of the population will be happy and the rest will be pissed about something.



    And honestly, the problem isn't the government. The government doesn't fix anything even if they do the right things. The problem is in the communities. Fix the communities and everything else will fall in to place.

    The problems in the government are just a symptom of a population lacking morality and independence.
