I would agree that Trump has, at times, lost focus on who the real enemy is...as do I at times. As do we all. Its easy to get distracted by those in our party...and those who are supposedly conservative...who are undermining the cause of conservatism from within. But we should always remember that support for the President WITHIN the party is incredibly high...historically high. So he does need to keep his aim more focused on the Left...as does EVERYONE who believes in a conservative/libertarian future. We are all facing an approaching hurricane but we (conservatives/Republicans) are quibbling over the price of tea...and these inner struggles are devastating to OUR cause.
I personally put the lion's share of blame on the NT's (for our inner party conflicts) but would be glad to put that all behind us if folks could just move forward and except that we have an elected conservative...Republican...President who is out front fighting the approaching storm...with all his flaws and personal eccentricities. You don't win such a battle with the army you want, you win it with the one you've got. We got the NT's, the NT's got Trump...neither of us are pleased over this fact...but if both parties don't find a way to cooperate in fighting the approaching hellstorm, we will all be swept away. So let's all get Woke!
@Mesaclone Hah! I am literally facing an approaching hurricane but I don't think it will do as much damage as this Never Trump movement is doing. I hope and agree that it is a small percentage of petulant crybabies that feel this way.
I've been here since the election and I see a slight shift away from NTism. Maybe I'm dreaming, but I see a more levelheaded view of Trump here lately.
Clinton was far more of a sexual predator than Trump could even dream of, yet he maintained that good ole boy facade and got away with it better.
Some people think that electing a Republican means that they get all their personal issues solved and that done yesterday. It doesn't. There are differences within the party about issues like free trade and tariffs. But I like the fact that Trump realizes and cares about America being treated fairly in the matter of trade. His ideas may not all work but then again, they may, and he cares about it.
And there are naive people who thought a wall would magically arise if Trump were elected and are ticked off that it hasn't.
I always say that 'The Wall' was real to Trump but also symbolic, in the sense that he saw the increasing danger in flagrant illegal immigration and wanted to do something about it.
The left has gone absolutely crazy in their support of illegals to the point that they dismiss the recent murder of the Tibbetts girl as unimportant compared to the greater problem of being unkind to illegals. You can dredge up a heartbreaking story every day about some illegal who's been a good guy and is being heartlessly taken from his family and deported. That good guy is a lawbreaker and the U.S. has been far kinder than any other country would have been (well until now)
The media has waged an all-out war on Trump, digging up insignificant little stories daily. This is especially irritating in view of the fact that that same media literally gave us Obama.
Oh, well. Trump has improved the economy and the job picture; he is fighting for common sense issues like getting out of the Paris Accord and he is on a mission to reduce and stop illegal immigration.
But, hey, he tweets, so let's get rid of him.
