McConnell, in Private, Doubts if Trump Can Save Presidency

Not open for further replies.
Effectiveness? Results matter, why do we have the results today? Have you ever run a business? I have and can tell you exactly why, businesses aren't going to be punished for being successful and that has turned them loose.

I am cheering results not an asshole. I have worked for assholes my entire life some true assholes and others who generated the results and were right. Trump has generated results and continues to do so.

I don't have a lot of faith in people from Canada attacking our President, our healthcare system, and our economic system as it is none of their business. You don't like Trump, I really don't give a damn, I care about results and so will the electorate next year. All I see from you and others are opinions based upon perception and not based in reality.

Whether you believe me or not I really don't care, the feeling is mutual about you and the rest of the PC crowd in this country and yours. What exactly is wrong with you people?



Words.

I won't read them as I asked for some proof. All you have are words of lies for a liar in an administration riddled with liar and backstabbers.

If you don't care why the **** do you keep responding? :lamo:lamo
 
It's too long an explanation to get into detail, but I believe it is the primary system that is responsible for most of the failures over the years. It is easily manipulated as we saw with Hilary and co and easily hijacked from the outside.

However, any solution involves a viable third alternative. You see Republicans loose their base when they pivot to the middle in governance, and Democrats when they lie about keeping your plan. What is up in the air in either situation is a block of voters, mostly moderate, mostly don't vote or swings when they do. That's where pay dirt lies.

Third party initiatives fail in the US because they shoot for the top job draining off resources. A party needs to be built from the ground up; the power soon comes with the balance of power in the senate, and build from there.

However, imho, I believe the good ship "America" will have to sustain far more damage before it can right itself

I have said this for years. How can anyone take parties like Greens and Libertarians seriously when they can't even get themselves elected state insurance commissioner or even mayor of a decent sized town.
 
There were few if any party line votes that I remember. But back then both parties had their liberal and conservative wings. I remember the Rockefeller liberal Republicans of the Northeast and the conservative southern democrats. The Democratic Party was the big tent party while the Republicans were the party of business.



Let's put it this way, a strictly partisan vote for Bill Clinton would not have happened
 
Its not a given. If they had anything on Trump it would of been leaked by now. Your prediction sounds like wishful thinking to me.

When there were leaks the Right was screaming, no there our no leaks, Mueller has the hatch on tight, he is a pro, I believe your the one a wishing and a hoping. They already got Trump on obstruction, that is a fact.

Fact? Care to provide the evidence that proves it.

I will never provide people like you the proof you need because there is no such thing. You are too blinded by your own ideology to understand the foundation upon which this country was built. You are part of the PC crowd and nothing Trump does is ever going to change your mind. Don't read my posts, I really don't care because people like you have zero credibility anyway.

Same can be said of your claim, why not follow your own advice. Many on Muellers team were involved with the Enron scandal, there were very few leaks, and surprise, there were indictments. Just because there are no leaks, does not mean there is no info, I should think the Right would congratulate Mueller on keeping it quiet. You should send him a thank you note.

Good examples.

The way the Greens became the balance of power holders in this province was to first win a seat on a small municipal council. In most of the country we now have four officially recognized parties Liberal, Conservative, New Democrat [socialist] and Green [really crazy socialist].

But win one seat anywhere and you have legitimacy.
 
Wait...

You are taking the moral high ground in defending Trump against name calling?

Seriously?

Let's have a brief look at that:

Here he display GREAT pride in INVENTING names for his enemies:

I have several more, one dealing with his work life and what he says about business associates, but I figure you got the message that you made a complete ass out of yourself attacking name calling. No president has taken politics as deep into the gutter as has this moron

Because of what seems to be an unquenched bloodthirst for showing the other losers around here how smart you are, you didn't take the time to comprehend my post. Why am I not surprised?
 
LOL, so his behavior is the issue meaning you want someone you can like regardless of results generated, that would be Obama. I don't personally like Trump but results matter. His treatment of women, minorities, and hatred of Muslims is your opinion driven by a hateful media. What purpose does this serve?

No his treatment is based upon fact, actions taken by trump, the facts are there but you refuse to see them
Why did you avoid his attacks/belittling of Cabinet and staff?
That is not a basic of leadership, as a matter of fact it will cause most people who practice such crap to be removed from a leadership position

We essentially have more than 2 parties in many states here in the US. For example, I live on the Kansas side of the Kansas City, Missouri metro. On the Kansas side we have Conservative Republicans, Moderate Republicans, and Democrats. The Moderate Republicans are so different than the Conservative Republicans in the state that they are practically their own party. I typically vote Moderate Republican in state and local elections here - particularly if they are a member of the Mainstream Coalition.

The problem is the state party basically controls who gets to rise to national politics and they don't support any of the Moderate Republicans in elections for federal offices.

your dodge is weak. I did not present my posion as fact. I made it clear that it was my opinion. You are the one brazenly declaring your opinion as a fact. Now your trying to wiggle out of explaining why you believe your opinion is a fact by deflecting with a strawman.

You attacked me because you can't comprehend as simple statement. Take a hike.

Nope- He classed Trump as a bully. And he is. Do you deny that?

As stated, I don't like Trump, don't like the way he treats politicians but do like the way he treats our troops, our first responders, and the private sector in this country and that is what matters. Why is the way he treats his cabinet even an issue for you? The basics of leadership are all about generating results LEGALLY and so far he has done that.

You want him removed from office because you don't like his leadership skills, don't really care, I prefer getting results and if those results fall then you may have a point, right now he is doing exactly what I wanted him to do and the results show it.

Did you read my post, I backed up my claim, your was just an opinion, and a partisan one at that.

Where have I stated he should be removed from office?
Perhaps you have hormones that are in overdrive.

I believe it's similar in Washington and Oregon, where conservatives defeated the best attempt they will ever have for a VAD. Nonetheless, it is when that "practically" disappears that things happen.

Years ago Western Canada was perceived to 100% isolated from Ottawa, we represent too few votes, any party can in by winning Quebec and Ontario with 65% of Canada's population...and the Mulroney (conservative) government of the day couldn't have cared less. Result, disaffiliated Conservatives became members of a new upstart "Reform Party of Canada". It was a collection of disaffected from both Liberal and Conservative.
We were laughed at, a joke at any political gathering until a woman won a seat in the most conservative arena in Canada, Alberta. She, as one person, got a lot of coverage. Soon there were two, then a full election and 30+ seats, then 90, then on the brink of becoming government shot themselves in the head by joining the hated Conservative Party and kicked out the original leader. Today, most politicos see Preston Manning as the best Prime Minister Canada never had.

The big lesson there was that they refuse to accept the status quo, and stood for something a lot of Canadians believe in. They managed to force a tightening of banking regs when the US was untying the strings and a lot more we owe them for
 
Read my post.

Then take a hike.
Use the ignore function as I am going to continue to show you to be part of the PC crowd and nothing else

You must have missed Trumps interview with Holt, and the father and son team concocting a lie together. I bet Mueller has noticed both, you can bet your next paycheck on that one. But you keep wishing, see you at the hearings !!

I did and I plan on having a beer(s) with really tasty chicken wings. Just beer and wings as the Good Lord intended them to be.
Where was the insult(s). Post the trail of offensiveness.

I missed the part where it proves obstruction of justice as your claiming. Which part of that interview are you claiming proves it?
