Glad to see you're back to making confident political predictions again.  Granted, you were wrong every step of the way over the last 18 months, but you gotta get back on that horse, right?
:P  I can't deny that I was wrong, and no doubt I'm likely to be wrong a lot in the future. 

Still, if something makes sense to me I'm going to continue to point it out. I enjoy doing that so what the hell? At some point one of my predictions will come true; even a broken clock, right?

Yeah, even a broken clock is right more often than you

 
Elections in 2020?  You guys are seriously uninformed.  Once you are part of the Russian Federation, your locality is governed by an official appointed by President Putin.  Trump's status will depend on whether Putin continues to be pleased with his service.

Trump is reminding me of that kid on Red Dawn who led the Ruskies to the Wolverines.  He didn't know what he was doing either.  

 
How exactly do you do this while simultaneously criticizing Trump for doing the exact same stuff that you're describing?

The goal of all good-natured people for the next four years should be to avoid normalizing Trump's behavior.  If the opposition (which includes many people on the right, like me) decide to start disregarding civic norms, then we might as well just give up now. 
The corollary is that every public poll so far says that people want Trump to moderate his behavior and then correspondingly that they don't believe he is.  At this point all his stunts and Tweets are just hurting him, so it's best to just stand aside for the time being and save your powder for the assault on SS/Medicare/Caid, etc.  Look reasonable without having to scream all the time.

EDIT: basically most people wanted campaigning to end on Nov 8.  He hasn't and until he does, people are taking a dim view on what he's doing.

Trump may be a pawn right now, but if he can just make it to the end of the board he can become whatever he wants: a knight, a bishop, a rook....or a queen. 

 
I'm hearing from multiple sources that Putin is the one who gave Hillary all of the debate questions. 

He was also funding the polling leading up to the election.

The same polls that said he had no chance?  Nah...now is the time to attack.  

 
They published a bad review about the restaurant in Trump Tower. Not kidding, that's actually what this is about.
Well, that and this, which is one of many such examples.  Graydon Carter might be the best around when it comes to picking fights with Trump, which is saying a lot these days.  God bless him ...

Like so many bullies, Trump has skin of gossamer. He thinks nothing of saying the most hurtful thing about someone else, but when he hears a whisper that runs counter to his own vainglorious self-image, he coils like a caged ferret. Just to drive him a little bit crazy, I took to referring to him as a “short-fingered vulgarian” in the pages of Spy magazine. That was more than a quarter of a century ago. To this day, I receive the occasional envelope from Trump. There is always a photo of him—generally a tear sheet from a magazine. On all of them he has circled his hand in gold Sharpie in a valiant effort to highlight the length of his fingers. I almost feel sorry for the poor fellow because, to me, the fingers still look abnormally stubby. The most recent offering arrived earlier this year, before his decision to go after the Republican presidential nomination. Like the other packages, this one included a circled hand and the words, also written in gold Sharpie: “See, not so short!” I sent the picture back by return mail with a note attached, saying, “Actually, quite short.” Which I can only assume gave him fits.

Agreed, much of the rest is just noise. Why be outraged over him tweeting about a bad restaurant review, which is beyond the normal pale by the way. There are serious fights to come. In your example, Ryan and his ilk will put it in front of Trump to sign, and he won't know any better. We're literally pinning hopes on a handful of sane Senators to save it.

It's OK, man. We all get duped from time to time.  I sometimes get duped into buying Wizards tickets, which is way more embarrassing than getting duped by a puppet of the Russian president.

He's eating himself...let him keep doing it.  The Russia stuff isn't going away.  The conflicts aren't going away.  The moronic tweeting isn't going away.  All are weakening him while Schumer et al can plan their defense of Soc Sec, etc. which is what they should doing.

 
Barring an international crisis, it seems to me that the key to the success of Donald Trump's presidency will be whether or not he can keep his promise to produce jobs in the 4 states that won it for him: Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania. If he can do this, he is likely to be re-elected no matter what else happens. If he fails he will likely not be re-elected. 
I think everyone gets that.  If he delivers for those 4 states, those 4 states vote for him again and the electoral college shift is too overwhelming for the democrats to overcome.  And Trump is smart, he's going right at the problem of getting more jobs there.

The media tries so hard to make my move to the White House, as it pertains to my business, so complex - when actually it isn't!

He's right! All he has to do is sell his #### and put the money in a blind trust. Assuming there is any left after his debt is retired, of course.

Simple, not complex at all!

Sorry but once you have selectively thrown out some civic norms that you oppose, you don't get to complain when civic norms you favor fall victim. A large group of people in this country felt their norms were being assaulted and they elected a President. 

 
He insinuated that on his own.
When Donald Trump was watching his 16-year-old daughter Ivanka host the 1997 Miss Teen USA pageant, he turned to the then-Miss Universe and asked: “Don’t you think my daughter’s hot? She’s hot, right?”

That anecdote, told to the New York Times by Brook Antoinette Mahealani Lee, appears to be the first recorded incident of the Republican presidential candidate and reality TV star making comments about his daughter’s body which those present have deemed inappropriate.

In the almost 20 years since, Mr Trump has called his eldest daughter “voluptuous”. He’s said it’s OK to describe her as “a piece of ###”, though she is a senior executive in his business empire. And he’s said that, if she wasn’t his daughter, “perhaps [he’d] be dating her”.

Good news: You get to pick the name of your new Oblast.

Bad news: Decent chance you will have to share it with force migrated Tartars.

What are these norms? Can you be specific?

Everyone doesn't have to do it.  Surely the Dems have some goons who can undermine and bait Trump.  The left wing equivalents to Breitbart and Infowars needs to be getting the rumors flowing.

I hope not! The crats getting hacked, his global holdings  and transparency tweeting were all present before the election and people couldn't get enough of it and made him the next president. I love your plan of hoping the American people eat too much ice cream and give themselves tummy aches. The hide out a watch Donald implode strategy worked flawlessly during the campaign.

 
Trumps perfect first term is he creates lots of jobs for the midwest while redefining the democrat party as people who complain about his tweeting. 

 
But yet it is the politico reporter that got fired. So strange that a reporter would get fired for so accurately reporting something. Here's your pigeon.  :cstu:
Man, the Trumpkins are gonna be super mad when they find out that Ioffe was already leaving Politico for a better job at The Atlantic, one she'll still have.  I bet some of them will be so mad they'll suggest Ioffe, who is Jewism, should be gassed and her skin used to make lampshades.

Oh hey, they already did that!  And they did so after Melania Trump criticized a completely accurate profile of herself written by Ioffe. Where was the outrage for that?

Not sure about that.  A political party spending years doing nothing but complaining about the sitting president appears to be a pretty good model for success.

His first big deal netted Indiana something like -1,400 jobs, while costing Indiana tax payers 7 million and possibly contributing to higher prices on AC units for everyone. 

So he's off to a rousing start.
