I look at it differently.. When there were 500 republican candidates in the primary in 2016, I did not support Trump until he was the nominee. That said, Trump has accomplished way more conservative items than any republican POTUS since Reagan. And I supported both Bushes.Quote:

But, I will never, ever support a Dem, the party of socialism and death. Obviously, you're okay with both of those.
Moreso than any other president? Much less than Obama as he has eased and erased much of his authoritarian legacy. 6 more years should get it all out of here.Quote:

The other 2016 option was Krooked Killary who has the rep of treating staff rudely and cruelly. Another form of authoritarianism.
Wow. Cause Trump treats his staff nicely. Lol.Quote:

Just think. You've got six more years to live with President Donald J. Trump as he keeps on winning no matter what you leftists think, say, or do. He'll completely destroy the deep state before he's finished.Quote:

You mean President Biden.Quote:

Biden is the DNC establishment pick and that bit the DNC last go round.
Their only hope is to pair one of the young guys (as VP) with Harris or Booker.
My qualms with Trump have been discussed ad nauseam, but the DNC is a train wreck right now. No leadership outside of Pelosi (who has been effective) and no unifying charge. They're letting the left-most wing of the party continue this impeachment mantra (which the public does not support) when they should be trying to get behind healthcare or something else the country agrees with them on.
Shaping up for another circus freakshow come 2020. Damning for the country? Probably. Good entertainment? Definitely. As they say, you get the government you most deserve.
The country does NOT agree with the Dems on healthcare.
Good post. The Dems have become a pure Socialist Party which is also amoral, intolerant haters, anti-semitic and anti-God in general and for this they should and will lose by a large margin IMHO.Quote:
