Trump 'outpacing Reagan' in conservative accomplishments

[ArneFufkin]

   That's rich, coming from you @ArneFufkin

Pretty sad to put an avatar of a beautiful young woman here if you're a decrepit old man.

Isn't it?

Oh for crying out loud!  Not the Walker/Rubio/Cruz supporter song and dance ramble again!  Get real and catch up.  Trump offered amnesty.  Trump told his AG to ban bump stocks, he wants extended background checks and he's considering banning assault weapons ... though the NRA has stepped in a deciphered what he actually meant (can I get a b.s. on that one?).  His tax plan isn't all that, we still have Bammycare, no wall and I sure as heck don't want to wait around to see him pull the next rabbit out of his hat. So excuse me if I don't exactly consider Trump a gift from God.  Perhaps those on the Trump train still praise him, but I call it as I see it and DJT sure as heck isn't RWR who brought some dignity and respect to the White House.  All DJT has brought is Ivanka and Jared and an AG and Deputy AG that are as corrupt as the day is long.

Got to be Jedi Mind Tricks. I have trouble believing that this many people are that gullible.

You didn’t get the memo? It was the Russians interfering here at TBR.

There was nothing she wrote that was even remotely intelligent.

You Never-Trumpers are kind idiots, but really not dangerous politically.

God bless TBR, because this is like an asylum.  Goofballs rule (two thumbs up!!!).

    That does beg the question @ArneFufkin Who looks better 'a beautiful young woman' or 'The Fonz' and yes at times I am 'decrepit' and at all times an OLD MAN!

   @ArneFufkin If we weren't dangerous politically, as you Trumpers repeatedly stated during the primaries, why are you few 'Always Trumpers' in here trying to ridicule us with your Orange interpretation of things, seems to be a DJT thing? 
    If I started a poll of who the top Trumpers were here you'd definitely be in the top 5 and I respect that.  The last thing I would want is TBR to become the echo chamber that TOS and Trumpbart are.

[RoosGirl]

You are not realistic and honest.

That's the issue.

So your excuse for this article being unrealistic and dishonest, and your reason for defending it being unrealistic and dishonest is because *I* am unrealistic and dishonest?  Makes total sense now.

Be glad there’s still somewhere you can post your vapid rants.  TOS got sick of your Danvers Institution Vaudeville act eons ago.

You Never-Trump specimens are like the Japanese soldiers who were protecting their caves on remote Pacific islands 25 years after WWII was over.

Such silly energy and stupidity.

Doesn't matter:  Trump is WINNING, America is WINNING.    Choke on that.

I have every confidence your dog is more handsome than you.

Smarter, too.

I have every confidence you’re extremely envious dogs can lick themselves, causing various pulls and strains over the years.

Let's inject some reality into this conversation, shall we?

Looking up the Mandate for Leadership:

In January 1981, Mandate for Leadership was released as a 20 volume, 3,000 page publication.

In 2005, Heritage published the sixth, and most recent, edition of Mandate for Leadership. This edition of Mandate was just 156 pages long.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandate_for_Leadership

Now I suspect that Wikipedia's information is outdated, but even at WND's 5-volume, 334-point measurement for the after-Obama version, that's still only a fourth of the length of the Reagan-era Mandate. (Besides, I'd argue that some of the points in the Mandate, such as net-neutrality, aren't so much conservative as they are corporatist, but that's a tangent for another discussion.) In absolute terms, Trump hasn't done as much. The Foundation is being dishonest by measuring fewer accomplishments against a shorter list.

   You know we're in deep $hit @edpc when the Trumpers attack our personal character based solely on our choice of Avatars.   
   It's a Trump thing, Tune in or Drop Out!

[INVAR]

Uh Oh....seems the  Freeper Mother Ship forgot one of their crazies.

Oh, he's the lead Brownshirt that can step higher and more rigidly than his fellows to the beat of Trump.

I suspect he sleeps with a portrait of 45 under his pillow.

    IMHO, he's RiV without the personality, not that she has much and I can talk about her this way because she has me on Ignore, so please Fellow Briefers do not quote this post so I can avoid another a Timeout.

Is anybody else enjoying this mental unraveling as much as I am? I just asked my husband to open a bottle of Pinot.

My political transformation is clear around here.  I was a "Never Trumper" because i hated the way he openly and loudly disparaged conservatives I admired like Scott Walker and Ted Cruz.

But, once he won the Indiana primary, it was then Donald Trump vs. Hillary Clinton.   Clinton, as we now know, is a criminal and she did EVERYTHING possible to corrupt the game to win and bury all the Obama regime criminality forever more.

Trump is  ... Trump:  He's who he is and I am REALLY liking his approach and outcomes so far.  I thought he was a NYC libtard but he is more conservative and productive than Reagan!!

What more do we want?  Or need?  Trump is awesome.

[XenaLee]

   

All I want to know is.... how the hell did you accomplish that???  I've been trying (asking) to get her to put me on her Ignore list since I got here.  No luck.

No kidding. Dude, the (binary) war is over. You lost.

If being stupid is a virtue, you're on the express train to heaven Invar.

Dumbest person on TBR, without a doubt.

I'll also add that in regard to Reagan, the same Wikipedia article cites a source claiming Reagan actually achieved 60% of that much longer Mandate in his first year, not the 49% claimed here. That, with a Democratic House of Representatives, and remnants of the Warren Court still in charge of SCOTUS.

Trump has in fact accomplished less in real terms, and about the same in relative terms, with a more favorable environment.

Do you have anything of substance with which to defend your claims, or are you just here to call people names and insult their pets and avatars?
