Trump will lose the Corker and Flake conservatives in name only. He has a higher approval rating among one's own party than anyone in history not named George W Bush in the months following 9/11.
He will more than make up the loss of fake conservatives (or sensitive conservatives who get offended by Trump's mean words) from blacks and Hispanics who have better paying jobs than before Trump.
A better life for their family is more important to voters than 99% of what is debated on these pages or CNN/Fox..
These threads are an entertaining exercise but we all know they are not how most Americans think or vote.
It comments like above that really make me chuckle, makes me sad how soft we're getting that he needs to reply "ouch" to this post. I'd assume there were many people on this board who cried when Trump won.
I'll give my Trump reply though:
I enjoyed Celebrity Apprentice, watched it all the time, liked the show. To me, that's were he belongs, a Reality TV star. He wants to do what he does in that avenue, have at it. As the POTUS, no chance - it's embarrassing... It's like the US version of Brexit, their government just looks flat out foolish for this Brexit scramble they can't get in order over the last 3 years, this is how we look to the rest of the world.
The POTUS shouldn't be saying
grab her by the *****, can't be saying anything racist, can't be unhinged, should listed to his advisors, should not lie about everything, and I can go on forever. The POTUS should be above all things, part of the responsibility of the job.
Nobody really talks about his performance as the President, and to me, it has been an utter failure, I'll list it out:
- Tax cuts, and they'll pay for themselves. That's a lie, they won't pay for themselves. They benefit the super wealthy and corporations a gazillion more times than everyone else. The economy is being held up by the consumer now, let them reap those benefits instead. Where are all those 1 time bonuses from last year? The ultimate corporate version of a headfake, a bonus is a 1x event, the tax cuts live on for the corporations.
- His budget - based on 3% GDP. Is he serious? We barely cleared that during tax cut year, prob won't clear it again ever, yet he bases these awful ballooning budgets on 3% GDP
for the next 10 years - It's offensive that he can even say that with a straight face. The economy has been expanding for a decade, you bring deficits down during these times, you don't balloon them. We aren't a company, if we default on our debts, it'll be a crisis like no other, and his policies and terrible fiscal stances will be paid for one day way down the road when he is long long gone.
- Trade - talking about screwing the pooch... Every country in the world would've taken on China and their awful trade practices with us. He decided it was better to go after everyone at the same time, it was idiotic! Instead of alienating these countries, use them as allies (he could've gone after them individually after he went at and handled China). Now, China has basically run the clock down on him (unless he wants to risk upsetting his precious stock market) , he knows it, we know it, they know it, and he'll take some ####ty unenforceable deal, declare it a huge win, and put the whole thing behind him... He actually could've done something good there, instead he completely botched it, pathetic!
He treats the government and other governments like they're brokering some commercial real estate deals together, he doesn't get it - he is unfit to be the POTUS on every level.
