And yet, here we are, prolonging it!

Ain't it grand?

Tell me about it.

"It" is a two-letter word in the English language and is a third-person singular neuter pronoun.

Well now that @RoosGirl has completely creeped me out with the horrifying clown picture, I'm sure I'm not!

That's "It".  The clown.  "It".  @Wingnut asked about him.

Yep.  Good book, but the end was ridiculous.

I was *just* thinking about that, how ridiculous the ending was.

Yeah, quite the contrary.   Destroying the Trump presidency.... or helping/aiding the radical left in doing so.... will only help to further destroy conservatism.  I don't know what they're thinking.... but it sure as hell reeks of "leftist" thought patterns to me.

Not that anything we post here has any real effect on reality but I agree with you.

I don't think any of the hard-core NTers have thought things through, figured out what they want and what it will mean to the country and the party.

Constantly berating Trump is the job of the media and the Hillary-ites and the left over Obama people.

Why should we join them?

Emjay, if someone here is an NT'er as you folks so quaintly term the belief, consider it is because they are far more Conservative on principle than the POTUS.

Lost? Haven't considered what they want? Hardly. We know exactly what we want.

A return to a Constitutionally constrained Federal Government that performs the Duties delegated to it using the powers granted to it under the Constitution, and very little more. (Which means about 2/3 of it would go back to the States).

 Fiscal propriety, Border Control, National Defense (not nation building elsewhere). Enough demands of everything form who bakes what cake to what light bulb to how much your toilet flushes, and whether you can fill in a low spot in your yard.
Now, Mr. Trump made a bunch of nice sounding spiffy promises when he was running for his current position as President, most of which I would like to see fulfilled, some of which I don't particularly care for.

The question arose of how much stock we could put in those promises, and some of us aren't that impressed with progress on those. Some of that lands squarely on Congress' long steps, in all fairness, but if he is the big deal maker, he should be able to make deals with Congress--something I see little evidence of on big issues.
Our positions are not the result of caprice, but the decades long study of our founding documents, history, and original intent.

And once again, we give credit where credit is due--anyone here does, if you are honest enough to admit it. We only berate him when he does stupid things.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

The same, and more, could be said of the Trump-lovers, who clearly didn't think things through when they nominated this incompetent boob.  And the facts are not on their side, either, as Trump merrily continues to demonstrate his essential incompetence.

Okay, I got lost in the horse latitudes.  I agree with what you want to happen in the country and I want to be able to fill the low spot in my yard without government interference.

I'm simply talking about reality here.  And the reality is that Donald Trump is president.  Further reality is he hasn't been as bad as we all thought he would be.

People make fun of the Gorsuch nomination now but it was meaningful.  I don't think Trump could have persuaded this particular congress to do the right thing ... and I don't think Ted Cruz could have done so either.  One trying to bully (maybe) and one trying facts and reason with the same result.

I just don't know what the people who constantly criticize Trump want.

To let off steam?

To somehow get him out of office?  How?  Impeachment would be bad for the party and the country.

For Trump to do better?  I think he tries to do better but he is hampered by a lot of things, including his own flawed personality.

So, what exactly do you want Trump to do??  Be nicer to Congress?  What?

No one here is arguing about whether or not he is the President of the United States. (really? sheesh!)
As far as not being as bad as we thought, well, not only is the jury out, but that depends on what you thought.
Insofar as that goes, I have had a couple of happy surprises from the administration, but remain disappointed on the major issues. Some of that requires the cooperation of the GOP Congress, whom we have found out are a pack of liars punctuated by a couple of folks who meant what they said on the campaign stump.

The whole "impeachment" thing is a Liberal shtick, no Conservative is out to run him out of office, regardless of the incontinent prevarication which got him there, or our frequent lack of faith in his other statements as a result of those abundant falsehoods. We don't want him out, we want him to do better. Six months of a hostile media fed a regular diet of tweets? Enough. Time to go to work.

As for what we want him to do (and I can only speak for myself, here):
Fill his cabinet and finish up the appointments he has vacant. and then there is a list, here: http://www.gopbriefingroom.com/index.php/topic,233460.0.html

Now, those are just a list of things he promised to do, I could probably add a few, but for now, that is plenty.
