Don't blame me she says.

Well Ann, those who bolstered Trump in the primary ARE responsible for what happened from that point forward and ARE responsible for what happens in the future.

She was warned. She knew from the start he was not trustworthy but she's a cult follower of whatever RINO is running.

In all fairness though, he hasn't been sworn in yet ... until then ... we shall see.  I'm trying to give him the benefit of the doubt and all ll I'm hoping for at this point is a conservative justice to replace Scalia.

We should never give government or politicians the benefit of the doubt.

We should never give government or politicians the benefit of the doubt.

Especially one with a 30+ year history of liberalism.

I'm not sure what anyone hopes to achieve with this "give him the benefit of a doubt" BS anyway. If he screws us over that's it and all the benefits of doubts in the world will continue to be meaningless and we'll be just as screwed. Mostly it sounds like a lot of people trying to absolve themselves of guilt like Coulter.

And lets not forget, these people didn't just vote for Trump and call it a day. These people threatened to destroy republican politicians who didn't get on board. In many cases voters were threatened with everything from deportation to execution if we didn't get on board.

Maybe I missed it, but exactly what is the "big sell-out" that is supposedly coming?  All I saw was that work will begin on an immigration bill.

So what?

I'm not trying to achieve anything, but doing what is right by giving him the benefit of the doubt until he's sworn in. He in all likelihood will screw over his supporters and the rest of us, but as I stated before, I'm hoping for a conservative justice.  If we can get that out of him in addition to getting rid of Hillary; we've accomplished two very important goals.

Anne is pissed off that Ryan won't fund Trump's Schutzstaffel.

That reminds me, Geddy Lee plays a mean bass.

Oh poor Anne.  NOT!  She sold the Trump show.

I agree. The way I see it a "benefit of the doubt" is something that someone earns. You don't give it to just anyone. That person has to have some kind of character or morality that leads you to believe they are more likely to do the right thing than the wrong thing. Given Trump's past history I don't believe he is someone I would give this benefit to. He hasn't earned it.

If Trump would start to keep the promises that he has made and prove he meant what he said THEN and only then do I believe he would have earned a "benefit of the doubt" from his supporters.

It's the same with respect and self esteem. It's not something that should be handed out like a door prize or it becomes meaningless. It has to be earned.

To me an example of the benefit of a doubt goes to someone like Mike Lee or Ted Cruz if they say or do something that seems to be in direct opposition to past patterns of behavior.

In Trump's case its a simple matter of trying to deny reality.
