To quote austingirl: “Principles matter. Words matter.” Hopefully our President will eventually learn this. Unfortunately, I’m not too optimistic. You (and probably most of the 30%-35% who represent his base) may not care about words, but I don’t think his hyperbole is increasing the 46.1% of the electorate who voted for him last year. His current approval ratings seems to support this.
But what's the end game? We're not in the primaries anymore, Trump's the Prez. He's in the position to change policy in a very huge way.
Do I focus on that, or some little contradiction in what he said that I shout from the mountaintops on a daily basis? Because understand whether it's Trump, Romney, McCain. Dole, or Bush, the media is going to play the back-and-forth word game like a bunch of bitchy, catty, mean-girl cheerleaders every minute of every day.
It's a liberal tactic. Play the grammer nazi, keep every thing in an uproar and hulaluboo over verbage so that nothing gets done till a Dem gets back in the WH. Trump has flipped that on it's head by giving the media sharks meat to tizzy over while things get done.
I'm fine with that. I don't always like it, but sometimes ugly works.
