You have it backwards. He has a personality disorder - a very obvious one to anyone that has even a vague undestanding of such things - and that is one of the main reasons why I have been strongly against him.Quote:

Yeah, the being impeached for lying under oath was not a big deal at all.Quote:

The economy has improved and is showing signs of continuing to improve. This has little to nothing to do with anything tangible Trump has done....mostly because Congress is playing politics with him...but does have everything to do with the confidence those who matter have in Trump's policies.
For the sake of this nation, for the sake of the middle class who got absolutely hammered under obummer, and for the world as a whole, I hope and pray Trump will fulfill the promise he brings to the presidency. He has (still has!) every opportunity to be a great president. So, if those who are driving the economic turn-around continue to have confidence we will all benefit. If they lose confidence because Trump is not meeting expectations, then the economy will plateau. We all lose.
Admittedly, I have been dismayed by Trump's seeming obsession with Tweeting and the things he Tweets. Most of it is totally irrelevant to what he should be focused on. And most of it is un-presidential too. It is nothing but a distraction. Beyond that, I can look past (to a certain extent) some of the administration shake-ups that have occurred. If he is correcting mistakes he made 6-9 months ago when he started putting together his team, then this is a good thing. We'll see...

Well, maybe that's because those "lobbyists" are from outside the DC Establishment and President Trump doesn't want their identity revealed.Quote:

If so, then no harm/no foul. Seems to me this group can produce a comprehensive list of lobbyists visiting the WH, eh. We will know who the lobbyists are....even without them signing in.
That should make you feel better.
No matter how bad things get (if indeed they do get bad), all I have to do is remind myself it could have been MUCH, MUCH WORSE!!!Quote:

The best thing Trump, and the GOP, have going for them is the 'craps. Recent polls show Trump's overall approval rating, and the GOP's because of their failure to repeal obummercare, has dropped. The polls are misleading however. The way the questions were worded makes it look like Trump's base has eroded. It hasn't. It has expanded, actually. BUT! many of us who are Trump supporters (I'm not part of his "base" per se), think for ourselves and demand results. So, I can say I don't approve of some recent events...i.e. approval rating dropped...but that does not mean my overall support for Trump is gone.
Analogy: if Tech football loses some games, and someone asked me, "do you approve of the Dawgs performance?" My answer would be, No! I don't approve of it. But, that would NOT mean I'm no longer a Tech supporter! My "approval" rating dropped, not my unwavering support.
Well, same thing with Trump. (and the GOP, although the latter is not a surprise...)
But, the bigger point is this. The polls also show those whose "approval rating" of Trump has dropped, say they will NOT support the 'craps if led by the likes of Schumer, Pelosi, Waters...and especially Krooked Killary. So, while some voters may turn away from Trump, they are definitely not turning back to the 'craps.
Of course, as I maintain, these same voters will flock to support Trump in 2020 if the economy is good. That is the only factor that will ultimately matter.
Believe it or not, 2020 will not be about the economy. It will be about whether Trump should have another 4 years. Of course, there is plenty of time before the election takes place so who knows if he will even be on the 'cons ticket.
It always seems to be all about the economy. If Trump's plan on Obamacare is to let it implode (which should happen around 2018...right PD?), then the economy will not be very good for 2020.Quote:

Got it. :icon_roll:
Props however, for your analogy. I do believe that for many people, your analogy is an accurate comparison.
True, and while I may be loyal to Tech, I have never been loyal to a party. That is why I registered as an independent when I became 18 and have remained so.Quote:
