And there are many people on this site that are openly much more conservative than I am. Like it has been suggested before, tone down the rhetoric and just talk on issues case-by-case. Support it with facts. You can use your "Conservative Tree House", but don't be angry when people ask for the points to be verified. It is a very reasonable forum. But I freely admit, it rejects crazy in a very entertaining way!
The same is true of the very liberal - Right now Trump is the president - so he is getting the hard review - if we had an alt-left president, the same hard look would be happening here on HB.
I have know who Trump is and give him a pass at this point simply because he has pledged to drain the swamp. I decided that we need someone that has been in gutter and knows what's down there to do the dirty work. People keep harping on the bad of Donald Trump. Hey I know about it, but accept it. By the way I didn't say deal breaker, I said disenfranchised! There is a difference. That dissatisfaction with Clinton had to do with an event while in office and up to that time with what I knew I wasn't to unhappy with things, but that one event really was despicable and lead me to looking further into his past. Trumps past is there for all to see. He has been investigated and vetted for than any other person to hold the office, yet nothing has been found. It's time to get over the TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) and get on with allowing him to do his job, which he does for NO PAYMENT! By the way I appreciate your comments. Don't take my posting as a direct assault on you individually. I have up voted many of you in this thread.
Like you I think the Clinton's are deplorable - both in office and as persons. Their history shows it. They too were poor examples of upholding the honor of being placed in the WH. And yes, I understand the often one sided presentation of the news by much of MSM - so I understand the grievances from which you speak but I say we could have done much better than a Trump. Brash words mean nothing if it destroys the fabric of our nation as he is doing. I'm not convinced that Trump has done much swamp draining - I think he could have accomplished much more during the time the GOP had held Congress if he learned to keep his mouth shut. I think he would have had his boarder wall and even the repeal of Obamacare if he had worked with Congress and stopped being a bad a.. all the time.
I guess you don't understand President Trump and how he successfully negotiates things. Sure those cuts are high, he has to have a starting point to negotiate from. Wait and see where in the end it lands. He knows this proposal won't past muster with the Dem Congress, but you also have to know that one side or the other should never be given a blank check and had he not set this starting point that is exactly what would have happened!
Please stop using inflamatory and degrading terms like “Trump Derangement Syndrome” and all the other catch phrases you are getting from the conservative media. It lessens every single thing in your post and is rude and unneccesaary. Ive seen some of your posts where you are rational and want to interact so i think your reasons for being here are overall good. If you talk like a grown up and not an elementary school bully you will do better here.
Super interesting that you read this and say he is more conservative than he thinks. Could it be that some of your positions are more centriat/liberal than you think?
