BigRedBuster Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 The Alt Right movement is very concerning to me as a conservative. OK...let's assume Trump just tapped into that to get elected and won't govern in a way that made these people happy he was elected. (their reaction is going to be very interesting if that happens.) My biggest concern was that these people feel empowered. This could start affecting local and other national elections. Are we going to see candidates that tap into this start showing up more in congress similar to seeing Tea Party people showing up in congress? State legislatures? If this happens, the true conservative ideas in politics in America can be set WAY back even farther. We will be dealing with these pathetic and disgusting issues instead of working towards smaller and more efficient government, creating a good system for industry to thrive (which builds jobs) and reasonable regulation that accomplishes the end goal but doesn't unreasonably hamper industry. I'm sick and tired of racism, sexism and all the other isms blocking our ability to actually discuss and improve our country. 3 Link to comment
TGHusker Posted December 2, 2016 Author Share Posted December 2, 2016 Trump forms an advisory committee with the goal of bringing back and creating jobs. The committee is made up of 16 high powered business executives - names we've heard before. http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/donald-trump-announces-advisory-committee-big-ceos/story?id=43930895 Link to comment

Making Chimichangas Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Seems to me the "rules" pertaining to this board are rather capricious and arbitrary. 100% dependent upon whether there is an "admin" or "mod" which likes you. Link to comment

That's why it's good to behave in such a way as to generate good-will and get them to like you. Duh. Link to comment

Danny Bateman Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Apparently Ben Carson is your new Sec of HUD... I don't mind Carson personally. He seems like a nice guy, even though he's a complete nutter with some of his beliefs (pyramids = grain silos), and I got a serious chuckle when news broke about him meeting with Ted Cruz IN A BROOM CLOSET to discuss their differences in the primaries (i.e., that Ted lied about Carson dropping out to win Iowa). It saddens me to have seen him sell out to support a man of such pathetic moral character of Trump, but that's more my personal feelings. Can anyone explain to me exactly how Carson is qualified to head our federal housing and urban development programs? He openly admitted he didn't want the Sec of HHS despite a long, distinguished career in healthcare. Horrible choice IMO. When Trump said "What do you have to lose?" to inner city voters-- apparently he wanted to find out. Link to comment

The funny thing about you complaining about it here of all places is zoogs is the most liberal admin on the board and probably agrees (to a less cray cray extent) with you on a lot of things.

He is also obviously a brilliant man when it comes to medical issues. So....if you are going to reward his loyalty somehow, why wouldn't you stick him at Surgeon General? You know.....since he actually is a Surgeon??? Link to comment

Good guy (got a chance to talk to him when he was in Tulsa - soft spoken and polite in person) but again, not sure if he has the mgmt. skills to take on the big HUD role. I think he'd be better as an advisor to the president esp in the area of health. Or possibly VA. Which is also a large dept in wt a big mess but at least it is medical/hospital related - something he has all of the experience. Or as BRB says - surgeon general. Link to comment
