Has anyone noticed how much better Trump is looking these days?

His hair is white and he is a nice tan color.  Who says he can't learn.

Dang, @Emjay....I'm sorry, but, uh,no.  Holy cow.

Look more closely...that's not white hair.  He's just using a lighter shade of daffodil yellow.  For Easter, maybe?

No, really, I just started noticing it myself yesterday.  I've told you guys all along that I owe a lot to Trump and I will defend him at every opportunity.

He's been taking some hits lately but, trust me, he's looking great.

@Emjay

Well, it's a matter of opinion.  I've always found him to be physically repulsive, even before I knew anything about him.  He has a lamprey's mouth.

After his healthcare bill antics, I'm done attempting to give him credit for anything.  If something good comes out of this administration, it will be by accident and in spite of him.  I don't like the man and I never will, and I feel so free.

Good for you.  You don't have to like him but he's the reason we can wake up every morning and know that Hillary Clinton is not president and that Barack Obama is plotting down the street to regain power he can never regain.

It's easy to feel free if you totally detach yourself from the fight.  I'd like to do that as well, but my conscience forbids it.

   @Emjay That Hillary thing is something I just can't comprehend because I think the top 10 of the 17 in the Primary could have beat Hillary, her non-existent campaign and the DNC/Bernie fight seriously wounded her, not to mention her negative's, untrustworthiness and corruption. 
   But since we're dealing with hypotheticals, allow me to indulge myself:
   Had Cruz been elected I think he would have had the same problems as Trump with getting his cabinet in place, but one thing I know for sure this recent repeal & replace disaster never would have occurred.  JS

Of course it would not have.  Ted Cruz would be a great president and I hope he will someday.

I think he would have had better luck putting together an acceptable bill, but that's just me.

Switching from hypotheticals to reality, how many of those 7 or 8 you liked came close to getting the nomination? 

I've been wrong about this whole election from day one.  But I don't want Trump to go down in flames just because you and a few others hate him.

   @Emjay I'm very bias about your first inquiry, Ted Cruz was the only one I liked among them all, I voted Darrell Castle/Constitution Party, but I have the luxury of living in Texas, it was a foregone conclusion that Trump was gonna get all 39 electorial votes. 
   Many here did not have that luxury, residing in purple states, and I respect them all.

   You been listening to @Frank Cannon again, I don't hate the man and I want him to succeed and in 4 years get out.

   Granted during the primary I wore my dislike for the man on my sleeve for all to see, but hate is a word that rarely if ever gets typed on my keyboard, it just does not reside in my Heart.

There is no upside to it.  The idiot left wins in that case.  Lose-lose scenario.

Of course you are correct. Any American who considers themselves anything other than a progressive should hope he succeeds.

Ask Trump. He seems to be the one trying to destroy himself.

   No upside in destroying Trump and I wonder what's the upside to degenerating people that just don't feel as strongly about him as you do.

   Sure, there are still some here that make their #nevertrump boldly visible and there are also those that can find no wrong in him no matter what, It balances out pretty well, providing for oftentimes passionate and informed debate here.

@Emjay

You're right.  I don't have to like him.  And Hillary Clinton is history, out of the picture, old news---she has nothing to do with anything.  Same for Obama, pretty much.

We should be forming our opinions on Trump based on the man himself, and no one else.  And the bottom line is this:  he campaigned on repealing Obamacare, but he lied.  He doesn't give a damn about the American people or what kind of nightmarish healthcare system we might have to deal with---all that matters to him is a "win" in his column.  He didn't get it, so he wants to move on, like some kind of dime store monarch with bad hair plugs.  But that's not how it works.  He's a public employee, and he'll deal with whatever bills are put in front of him.

No one posting on an internet forum can "destroy" Trump.  He can only do that to himself.

I think he's a liar, a fraud, and a con man.  Nothing more.

There was NOTHING done by DT during the primary that would have endeared him to me.  There was not a single day that went by that he did not slander his opponents.  He trashed Starbucks because he didn't like their coffee cups. He went after Macy's Dept. store because they didn't carry his ties.  He went after the company that made Twinkies...
It was attack attack attack and then act the vulgarian.
Aside from Santorum, Huckabee, and Graham and Carson ... I would have been happy with any of the candidates.
