You bring up an entirely different argument.

The crow you're eating right now is that Donald Trump is going to be the 45th POTUS.   You know....the guy that was a plant/decoy for Hillary Clinton and who was going to drop out.

That guy.      :whistle:

I said it was a race to the bottom a number of times and that the person with the least negative bombshell near the end would win. Now the question is, will Trump do what I expect him to do or not. If he doesn't, then I was wrong. And honestly, I'd like to be wrong. But I still believe Trump is Trump. Time will tell. And for the record, I'm thrilled Hillary lost.

Fair enough!    :beer:

But just don't dismiss your error in judgment on who was going to WIN the actual election, trying to add future predictions that have nothing to do with where we stand- RIGHT NOW!

Like I said, Trumpers don't have any humble to spare. There definitely won't be enough for pie.

Well actually, my primary concern has always been what he'll do in office based on what he's said over the last 20 years. If he does what I think he'll do the Republican party will be off in the wilderness for at least a decade to come and all conservatives will be branded by the same brush - like they were with GWB. Now that he's won, we'll find out if my concerns were valid or not.

Are you going to hold firm on any of his promises or will you support him regardless of where he takes you?
Are you okay if he doesn't act to repeal Obama care and mostly get the federal government out of our healthcare?
If he doesn't act to "build the wall" and at a minimum fully enforce immigration law?
If he doesn't appoint an actual constitutional conservative to the USSC?

Those will be the test. Hell, I'll give him a passing grade if he really makes an effort on the above even if it doesn't get it all done due to Democratic obstruction.

Will he be able to rise to the office and not respond to virtually every slight with off the top of his head nastiness?

I very much hope so. The office requires measured thoughtfulness before action. The consequences are real now.

I'm just amazed at how unhinged some of the Trumpers are at the Never Trumpers because they're not unhinged at the Trump supporters celebrating Trump's win.

Yep.  It's a good thing the Clinton dynasty is dead.

Got a feeling, though, that there's another dynasty attempting to be built.

Of course I thought of that. I'm just not a fool like fanatic anti-Trump crowd. I don't fall for every stupid article saying that he is reversing course. I'm waiting to see what he does.

Oh, so am i, albeit that the end is predictable.

Quote
I know the NeverTrump crowd is still grasping and clinging to their almost religious hope that Trump will fail, or that he will turn out to be a typical Republican and reverse everything he said while campaigning. And he might do that. And if he does I will be right there with you guys admitting I was wrong.

It is not 'religious', nor is it a hope. It is just a predictable end.
A man of low character cannot be trusted.
A liberal, on balance, will not do Conservative things. He may give you some successes to bray about, but in the end, it will be a liberal administration doing liberal things, wrapped in the Conservative mantle y'all have hung on him.

I resent that without end.

Quote
I simply prefer to criticize him once he is actually in office. Rather than to give up hope two months away from him being sworn in office. That is insanity.

No, insanity is voting a liberal into office and expecting Conservatism.

Quote
As for me, I'm going to wait an see. I'm not going to be swayed by every hit piece the NYTimes vomits up, to sow doubt about what Trump will or will not do.

I have so far been content to criticize the swill coming out of Trumps own mouth. It is his own words that find him out.

Of course, the question is:

"In what way, shape, or form has President Elect Trump winning the election changed anything about him that made him unacceptable to me as CinC?"

It hasn't. The only thing that can alter that opinion is time, which is why he gets a year from me from the date he is sworn in.

He's been a celebrity for more than 30 years and he's still the same degenerate lowlife he was in the 80s. He's not going to change.

You know the Left (Obama/Yellen) has already plotted a financial crisis....zero interest rates and a stimulus going on 8 years.

He's gonna need two years at least.   Just like Reagan needed.

If Trump appoints  an alt-right anti-Semite like Steve Bannon as Chief of Staff, your question will be answered.  And not in the way you want.

Trump's conspiracy-mongering has rubbed off on you.

He will not get two years to start delivering on jobs.  He will not get two years to figure out what to do with Obamacare.  He will not get two years to show how much more he knows than the generals do.
