Conservative 'Purism' Doesn't Threaten The Movement. Trump Purism Does.

[Emjay]

@Emjay

I have no doubt the GOP will continue to worry about how they appear to the left and just about everybody else except the people they constantly lie to, timid creatures that they are.  You can applaud that if you want.

How did I know you could not resist replying ... you live for it.

[Cyber Liberty]

They care!  What they care about is the problem!  They care about keeping their "work" half a year for $200K jobs for as long as possible and then, when they retire voluntarily or otherwise,  go to work for a K street firm making a cool $1 Mil or more every year!

As somebody said on another thread, we may never get healthcare the way it should be, because that would create a lack of opportunity for Congressional graft.

@Emjay

What, like you just did?

I don't think you're a stupid person, but I guess you need reminding that this is a public forum where replying is sort of the thing you do, especially when you're in the middle of a conversation with someone.

You've become a professional scold, but FYI, I'm not influenced.

Trump purism? Trump is pragmatic so what the hell would 'Trump purism' be?

Whatever he says it is this week. Trump purism is a major cause trumpslaining.

Yee haw! Let's hope they Get R Done this time.

If it stalls the tax reform, the markets are going to tank.

Maybe. It'd be nice to see them pass a budget since we haven't had one in so long. A real repeal of Obamacare would be good for the market so maybe they can do both.

That's what I'm looking for.  My signals, based on nothing, aren't on "Buy" yet.  I'm still fuming over that crap sandwich.

No, sweetie, I'm just an amateur scold.  It just tickles me how much you enjoy your own words.

[Vulcan]

Those who resist becoming lil Trumpee clones are the enemies.

@Cripplecreek

That includes conservatives proving Trumpanzees are not.

[Cyber Liberty]

I outrank you.  I'm semi-pro.   

[Smokin Joe]

I can't speak for other conservatives, but for myself..... I couldn't possibly care less what others think.  I always will, however, make comments and observations about the hypocrisy and double standards that the idiot left (and their cohorts in the GOP) always display.   

That pretty much says it for me, too.

Oh,  a buying opportunity!

@Frank Cannon

Lol, come on Frank, you know Shapiro's good.  Besides, you've been raging at Trump lately yourself.

I am raging at Donny when he does something bad. I also praise him when he does something decent. Shapiro has got to get off of the non stop bash fest. It's intellectually lazy.

It's a knee-jerk reaction with him ... and the 'jerk' applies.

[geronl]

Right on Brother Man Ben Shapiro, you got that right on the money.

Today Trump lawyers claimed immunity from lawsuits that stem from long before he ran for President.

No. You gotta get in now!!!!

BTFATH

Yeah, and my lawyer claimed I won the Irish Sweepstakes. So the eff what?

[TomSea]

Again, articles by Ben Shapiro are going to be opinion and not straight political articles as far as I see.

@Frank Cannon

But he isn't on a bash fest.  I read his Twitter timeline every day for news, so I know.  Sometimes it looks schizophrenic because of the varying "good Trump/bad Trump" posts he makes.  He's absolutely fair and he gives Trump credit for some things, then turns around and criticizes him, and back again. 

If it looks like he's criticizing too much, that's because Trump is screwing up too much.  Not Shapiro's fault, and it isn't his responsibility to baselessly cheerlead a politician, anymore than it's mine or yours.

After the election I planned to credit Trump for whatever good he did, too.  But after the healthcare thing I'm convinced anything good that comes from him will be an accident.  He said he wasn't interested in the "s**t details" of the bill, he just wanted to ram it through so he'd have a win in his column and go golfing. Those "s**t details" were the garbage he wanted to saddle us with.  I have no use for him and I'm not going to look for reasons to credit him because IMO he demonstrated he doesn't give a crap about anybody in this country.  YMMV.

First off, who gives a shit about Twitter. No one follows it (as evidenced by Twits business woes) and whatever one sentence pearl of wisdom Ben lays down daily goes unnoticed by 99.9% of the public. I am talking about his articles. One after another going off the rails.

As for your support or non support of the President, it's fully irrelevant. Donny won handily without your vote and actually the #NeverTrump movement was one of the weakest 3rd party challenges there ever was. At least Ralf Nader effected an outcome. #NeverTrump candidates were not even on the ballot in all 50 states. It was hilarious.

Now we have all the people who hated Donny from word go still hating him. Doesn't change a damn thing, it's just incredibly lazy thinking. I think the auto workers, miners and Carrier factory workers who kept or got jobs since his election think so too.

looks like your 'plans' to credit Trump went awry rather quickly .... unless you can point me to a post where you did.
