Serious comment and suggestion:

After reading your dozens (hundreds?) of posts regarding your discomfort and concern about Trump 2020, I think that you should consider taking the time to draft out a well written letter to Trump expressing all of your concerns and desires, and use every avenue available to you to get it in front of him.

Otherwise your message will never get anywhere close to his desk....  I doubt that anyone reading this forum has any ties to Trump's inner circle.

Consider the effort your contribution to the nation, to the GOP, and to all that could make things right in the world!!

Yet every performance ends at some point. Wonder if his fans have grasped this????"

Nah, more like a latter-day Howard Beale with real power, for a change.
But you remember how that "performance" ended...

And you can't allow yourself to see that $2 trillion deficits are destroying the country, that catch and release of illegals has gotten much worse, and that trade deficits have increased because of tariffs.

China is experiencing its worst economy in 28 years, due to the tariffs imposed by this President.  North Korea and Iran are devastated too!

The term "cutting off your nose to spite your face" comes to mind.  I really don't give a damn about screwing over America just to hurt North Korea or China.  Their own policies are already doing a good enough job of doing that.  Same for Iran.  None of those justifies $5+ trillion in new debt, higher trade deficits, or releasing more illegals inside the US.

Furthermore, these deficits are NEVER going to be repaid... NEVER!!

Famous last words of the Weimar Republik.  Sounds like something a Democrat/Socialist/Communist would say.  I didn't realize you were one of those Mugabe/Maduro types who thinks that it is OK to pay for everything with fresh-printed money to infinitude.  Never mind that every new dollar steals value from every single American.  It is essentially a tax that Congress never voted for, reducing the standard of living for all Americans.  It is what Obama did for eight years in a row.  And now we find you supporting what Obama did.  So that begs the question, why in the hell are you even here posting on a Conservative board since it is clear you support current Venezuela monetary policy?  Seriously.

Therefore, $19T or $22T....doesn't mean a GD thing when you're trying to win a battle to maintain and protect our Constitution and Republic.

The growing debt is going to destroy our republic - not save it.  It is the single biggest threat to the future of our country.  And it is currently increasing at the fastest pace in US history.

What?  @Maj. Bill Martin

The point of my metaphor -- which apparently was not as clever as I'd intended -- is that no NT Republican wants to oppose Trump in the primary, suffer all the slings and arrows sure to come his/her way, when there is zero chance they would be successful.  They'd be sacrificing their future in the party to accomplish absolutely nothing.

[Maj. Bill Martin]

Trump's tribal mentality has upped the tribalism on the Dem side as well, and the Dem tribe now includes socialists and proponents of open borders,  which were never mainstream Dem positions before.

Again, I don't think you've made a convincing case that Trump caused the tribalism on the Democrat side, or the mounting radicalism.  I think it was already there, and had been accelerating since Obama staked out positions to Hillary's left in 2007-2008.  In fact, you might have the causation backwards, in that the increasing Democrat radicalism during the Obama years is what prompted so many Republicans to support the more confrontation approach of Trump in 2016.

Occupy Wall Street was a pre-Trump movement that would have been condemned by most Democrats 20 years ago.  Instead, it was either crickets or active support.  Opposition to gay marriage went from being the position of both Obama and Clinton in 2008, to being a flat disqualifier on the Democrat side.  Again, pre-Trump.  Obama went from saying in 2010 that he had a Constitution obligation to enforce immigration laws, to doing a 180 in 2014 and implementing DACA and DAPA.  Pre-Trump.  And Bernie Sanders, an avowed socialist, made his mark by attacking perceived moderates in the Democrat party, not by going after Trump.  Sanders shocking rise had nothing to do with Trump (who was just one of many GOP candidates at the time), and everything to do with radicals already in the Democrat party, or young people gravitating towards his ideas.

@DCPatriot

Can't help but wonder if we "NEVER!!" repay these debts, will there be a country worth saving, that by your account, which requires deficit spending to do so?

Remember the old newsreel footage of pre-world war two Germans pushing wheelbarrows full of cash down the avenue, which was needed, just to buy a loaf of bread?

I don't see why we cannot to do both; cut government down to its proper size and save the Republic.

Cutting government down to its proper size WILL save the Republic.

We can do it...it's just a matter of politicians..and in some cases people wanting to do it.

That's a fact.

People in general want smaller government, but they don't want it to impact their pet programs.

In a system where the people's representative's jobs depend upon them bringing money home to their districts there can be no other outcome.

My pet program happens to be getting the federal government the hell out of my life.  How much extra do you think that will cost?

[Bigun]

Somewhere around 1/3 it's current size would be about right if you ask me.

Yes there is that too

[roamer_1]

Thanks for the reply @roamer_1   But having figured out what's driving your opposition, I concede I do not have the power to influence a change in your opinion. You simply are not ready.  Hopefully we can reengage on this debate in the future.

Enjoy your day.

No, @Right_in_Virginia , you do not. Nor will you ever. Nor will I ever be 'ready'.
Not because of Tumpy the Clown. Not because of the fetid stench that is the Republican party.
But because of the principle things I stand upon.
They are solid and true, and do not move.
And therefore, neither do I.

You see, it cannot be me who is walking away. I have been right here, all the way along, stubborn and unyielding, some might say, but right here all the same. Considering the vast difference between mine and yours, which is entirely inconsolable, You might ponder how that distance came to be... When I have not moved a solitary inch.

If y'all ever do come to your senses, you'll know where I am.
