Folks, we have to give Trump a chance.. He is going to be our President. 

Trump will be 'my' president about as much as Obama was 'my' president. 

As to giving Trump a chance - I recall the demands from so many people that we had to give ObamaCare a chance to succeed - even when we warned them what was going to happen.

I'm not that naïve.

I want him to do well. If he does well the country does well.

What we want and what actually happens are nearly always two different things.  I have not heard much from Trump that would cause me to believe the country will do well under his tenure.  That view is not going to change just because he is sworn into office.

Please don't nitpick every move.

If liberty were not so fragile, we could afford to do that.

Right now, we cannot afford to do so.

Why do so many people demand we look away from the threats to liberty in the name of 'getting along'????  This is how you invite calamity to be sown in your name from among you.

If he does wrong, then he should called out on it. If he made makes a right choice that he seems right then we should support him. I think this is a right choice.

I disagree.  I think this 'choice' proves that the narrative that Trump was some kind of outsider and was going to 'drain the swamp' of all the "insiders" was a total con game and bullshit. 

Trump rewards and makes one of the key architects of the Establishment's war on Conservatives his COS?????

Well, given the fruits - I expect that war is about to get ratcheted up into a whole new level, to cheers and applause of both Leftists and Republicans.

How about the fact that Priebus wouldn't approve of the coup attempt by the rank and file of the RNC, trying to change rules pre-convention to steal the nomination from him?

Trump rewards loyalty.

Right about now, Chris Christie wishes he didn't pick up his skirt and run away, screaming.

How about RP changing the rules whenever it suited him in the past that led to stripping conservatives in the party of their power? That matter at all to you? Or just when it benefits what you want?

By all means. Explain to us how he, the definition of establishment insider as head of the RNC, 'earned' his role on the staff of the man campaigning on getting rid of him.

By helping get him elected obviously...and giving the #nevertrumps a stiff arm while doing so.  :laugh:

LOL!   The results of this election prove beyond a shadow of any doubt that Conservatives needed to be stripped of any power.

You are supposed to forget that he did that now that he has been made Trump's COS.

We're all supposed to give them a chance now Norm.

Just like ObamaCare.

So to review...

Not going to prosecute Hillary

Not going to repeal Obamacare

Appoints the ultimate GOP insider to be his CofS.

Or...and this is the ACTUAL reality....

Will leave prosecution and evidence gathering where it belongs...law enforcement (FBI).

Will repeal Obamacare...and replace it. As was always the GOP plan/intention, some items that are in Obamacare will also be in the new Republican Health Care plan.

Appointed as Chief of Staff, someone who has good ties throughout the party and can ensure that Trump is able to get things done by getting congressional GOP'rs on board and voting with him...a necessity if one wants to get ANYTHING done. You cannot drain the swamp without managerial and congressional support...Priebus makes that to happen.

Give it a chance.

I'll give it a chance. His chance is to govern conservatively. When he appoints RINOS and renegs on his word, which I expect in most if not all cases, I'll bitch about it. So effectively his chance is the same one barry got from me. And I expect the same outcome.

"They won". And all that implies.

It's always good when you admit outright to not only not being conservative, but to hating conservatives and conservatism......

When RP stripped conservatives of any influence in the Republican Party, he destroyed it.   Without the Conservative arm of the Republican party, it will shrivel up and die, because it stands for NOTHING.

Yes, disenfranchising the majority of his own party's primary voters, who still, like Pavlov's dog, ran back come the time of the general. Sad!

Of course they did.  Thanks for admitting that. 

Leftism populism is now "in."  Enjoy defending Trump teaming up with Democrats to pass his stimulus, his tariffs, and his overturning of the Sequester.

And just why do you believe that this country deserves to be further driven toward leftism, and why are you on a conservative board trolling people? That's just sick.

Everybody's focused on Priebus; nobody's saying anything about a gutter rat assuming the position of Chief Strategist.

Steve Bannon took a conservative website and made it into a cesspool of lies and a haven for racists, but he'll be a positive for the White House.

Anyone that would fulfill his promise of ending business as usual. I have an incredibly hard time accepting that the head of the establishment, of ALL PEOPLE, is the man needed to break up the establishment.

It's just one more reason and example why it is absolutely necessary to dump any support for the GOP and get a Conservative party going locally.

It may take time, but this has the hallmark of a total consolidation of the Establishment Oligarchy and making the Uniparty a real Beast.

No.

I'm not going to let that kind of liberalism pass without a comment.
