Trump is not remotely close to Reagan.  HOWEVER what specific ACTIONS has Trump taken as President that makes him Democrat lite?

You mean besides not revoking Obamacare...trying to force Israel into a two state solution and going soft on curbing illegal immigrants sneaking across our borders?

Not too much I guess.
The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years. The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.

I liked it better when Republicans stood on principle instead of being Democrat-lite.

What "principle" are you referring to @Hoodat

I'm not Hoodat bu will answer anyway.

Playing by the rules would be a great start.  Unlike what they did at their own convention last summer.
"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

You mean unilaterally making law to revoke Obamacare? Your anger is 100% misplaced. It should be directed towards spineless repuklicans who have run on for the last 8 years. Now I will say could he have rejected the bill and sent it back? Yes and I question that too however the anger is squarely with our worthless Congress.

Two state solution you and I agree and I am not pleased but to malign him within an undercurrent of a media and Democrat coup I won't do.

Illegal immigration has actually drastically decreased if you haven't been following reports. Additionally yet again Congress must appropriate those funds in the budget which is coming by the way in the next few months. This will be the test.

In short your anger in my view is completely off target and misplaced if that is how you feel.

The unmovable principles of the Social Conservatives, Fiscal Conservatives, Foreign Policy/Defense Conservatives, and the civil libertarians. You can look them up.

I believe I've heard none other than yourself accuse Trump of having dictatorial proclivities. If he had decreed Obamacare hereby repealed would you have applauded?

You want Obamacare repealed?  Do something useful:  Back away from the keyboard and call your Congressman. 

Sorry you missed the President saying directly to PM Netanyahu during his visit to the States that the Israelis and Palestinians will find the solution that works best for them ... and that he didn't care whether it was a one state solution or a two state solution.  Whichever worked.

Soft on curbing illegals?  Are you uninformed or :nometalk:   Here are just two articles you somehow skipped over:

You need to check your hearing.

I don't want him to rule by fiat like Obama did.

He should have told Congress to bring him the total repeal they approved 2 years ago so he could sign it.

Hell he could still do that now.

But he won't.

He wants single payer.

The truth is that seeing what the Democrat Party has become...[full blown anarchists who want to expand socialism and repeal Amendments and tear down statues....complete surrender to the good of the State, screw your Bill of Rights.], the millions upon millions of their blue collar, God-fearing voters will continue to cross over and embrace Donald Trump and maybe put down stakes.

So, the 'Republicans' will be even MORE moderate.   And the strident SOCONS will have to be tied up in the trunk.   

And @Hoodat .....there's no place else for you to go.   
There you go again. Get the "family" in town and trash the place threatening to tie people up. I'd love to see you try. That'd be a hoot.

I guess there's "no place to go' if politics is your entire life, but if it is, you need a break, anyway.

I invite you to attempt to tie us up and put us in the trunk sir.

You reveal yourself to be no different than those you just railed against.

Good thing, too.  Anyone who lays a finger on me will draw back a stump.

Both you and @INVAR are unable to grasp hyperbole....., uh-huh.

The other poster made a decent point - to date Trump has been no less conservative than, say, GW Bush was.

Not exactly what I wanted out of this election either, but denying that he has done some good since January does no ones credibility any favors.

I know this is over your head, but we really do not care if our voice is drowned out by a mob majority - because we are governed by something you have no use for.


Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775

We'll see what the price was of that "some good" in four years. My guess is it will be higher than GW's.

Oh, wait!   

What about your claim that I was coming literally to tie you up and put you in the trunk, pajama man?   

You're so transparent.  Run along.

Keep editing garbage boy.

LOL!   Then he tries to turn it around on me.

You're the 3rd man in on an ongoing back and forth, and suggests I want to literally come to your houses and tie you up.

How far did you go in your English studies?

Higher than Barack Obama? G*d forbid.

The only worse thing I can think of is President Hillary Clinton.

Which BTW explains my vote last November.
