this is what passes as serious thought in Liberal circles. Conservatives will rule forever.
Mostly he received derision and laughter from my fellow cons, and saspamco is like, "These are serious questions!
I answered silly questions with silly answers, but I think I am the only one out of 50 responses.
Fun thread!
Ok, I decided to back out on the DI trolling and take a hiatus... the hides were catching up with me and the site is broke. old hides aren't falling off like they are supposed
to so my account is almost shot.
ANYway...
I've made it no secret that I've never been a Trump fan. Personally, I thought "my guy" would have done much better and had considerably better public appearance presence and stature. All that aside, and coming from a voter who doesn't even LIKE Trump, I'm on board with him on policy at a rate of about 75%. That's pretty damned good when taking history into account when it comes to Presidents. Even "my guy" would probably only align with me at about 90%... at best.
Plus, all his personal flaws aside, Trump has 3 things going for him that are remarkable traits for a "politician"...
First, regardless of what anyone says, I really do believe the man fully intends to keep every promise he possibly can, it's his top priority. He doesn't like being labeled a liar. Whether or not this is a result of a fragile ego or not is of no importance to me. He WANT'S to keep his promises. That puts him miles ahead of nearly any other person capable of the position.
Secondly, I really am 100% convinced that his drive is for American greatness and it's economic stability overall. He proves it every day with every action. It's not just his words (that I would never trust of ANYONE in high office), it's action. And he delivers everything he can, congressional resistance aside.
And lastly, his disdain for the media, and most especially, willingness to OPENLY go to war with them. No one has ever had such balls.
As far as I am concerned, those are his 3 strongest traits. And as much as I flat don't like the guy, those traits have led me to actually trust this guy.
He's still far too liberal for my liking in a few key areas, but if this is the price for the rest of it, I'll take what I can get and like it.
This guy is doing serious damage to the system we have all grown to despise. It's what he promised to do, and he's staying up all night to accomplish it.
I really do think that when one looks at results alone, this guy is on track to surpass the great Ronald Reagan in results... I really do think that potential is there.
