Yet, all I read here is blame shifting away from DT...like the post I quoted. Trump is the POTUS. The buck stops there. My hope is that those who vilified folks like Rubio and Ryan will hold the same measuring stick to their beloved "republican" President.Quote:

As you know my "establishment" candidate was Cruz. I said from the start that Rubio and Ryan were part of the problem. Trump was a better alternative.
Are you not happy about anything Trump has done so far?
Gorsuch is a great pick, but Trump's poor leadership has even that in a tenuous position. You can't insult your way to unity and prosperity.Quote:

Look, I'm thrilled HRC isn't President, but I believe what we've gotten from Trump is exactly what I feared...all tweets and no leadership.
Trump is doing a good job so far trying to beat Obama's ratio.Quote:

Just shows how poor the dem leadership is as well.
In the mean time, he is reversing a lot of EPA and other regulatory stuff done by EO by Obama.
The undoing of Obama's crap with executive orders is not leadership? He's doing what he said he would do.Quote:

His tweet was right about the "wire tapping".
Nothing that any of the candidates wouldn't have done.Quote:

He is deregulating, and if he can cut taxes, I'll be happy. No one can "fix" healthcare. He will fail at this, and so would have anyone else. If he is smart, he will blame the republicans whom have had years to come up with the right answer and haven't.Quote:

You may be right, but I don't consider "un-excutive ordering" to be leadership. Trump has the authority to act unilaterally on those matters. I'm still waiting to see some success where he has to build consensus and actually govern. I certainly hope I'll be surprised.Quote:
