This is what really disturbs me about Donald Trump. His I’m smarter than you, I’m smarter than the dummies in Washington, and I’m going to take charge and I’m just going to do what I want to do, and nobody can stop me.   This is the ultimate Top-Down anti-Tea Party attitude we have been battling against. The conservatives that pride themselves as being a leaderless movement, who believed in the rule of law over the rule of man and bottom-up government – seems to have latched onto just the opposite.  We have been fighting an Imperial Executive, for more than seven years, and now fighting to get even a bigger one into office.

Have you ever heard Donald mention the Constitution?  Wonder what happens when the White House council comes to Mr. Trump, and says "legally sir, you can’t do that."  Trump will find a way, damn the law, damn the Constitution. 

We don’t need a more powerful White House, we need a more powerful America.

Would imagine that a Republican Senate and House would be able to control 'President' Trump.   

In fact, they would probably wake up from the coma they've apparently been in, the past 7 years.

That won't last long, because Democrats will take over both houses long before Trump ends his term in office, all because Trump will demonize his opposition, even if its own party.

There's some weird idea here that IF Trump gets elected, Congress will fall to their knees and bow to him, as if he were Emperor Trump and not just the head of one of the co-equal branches of the government.

Power doesn't relinquish power without a fight.

That's my take, too, Luis.

Seems to me that a Republican controlled House and Senate would settle him down quite a bit.

But I'll tell you one thing....Boehner and McConnell would be replaced.

Not a chance.....it's going to take more than 2 years to get the Obama stench off of us. 

Democrats are going to be exposed as America's enemies.   It could be the end of that Party.

No they won't.

You say things as if you have a clear insight into the future, and Trump is The Messiah.

Rebellions have a funny way of not behaving the way people thought the would.

Just as some are rebelling against the GOPe, some will rebel against the anti-GOPe.

Since we're all discussing Trump's reign over the polls, here are some more polls:

Because of course as we've seen over and over, Congress has been an impenetrable stonewall to Obama...

Congress is paid off by special interests and lobbyists as we speak.
Trump could hire the very same lobbyists to feed the pigs for his own agenda.

Hmmmm.....IMO, the tone/content of your posts over the past couple of weeks indicate "dumbfounded" to be a better word than "embarrassed.   :laugh:

OTOH..."upset" works too!

dumbfounded?  sure a little.  upset? yeah.
Fascinated is closer to the truth IMO.

My comment could have been misunderstood so and for the record I'm embarrassed by Trump running for the nomination, and I am embarrassed that I thought conservatives could see through him.

but there is a lot of time to see how things play out and I am certainly enjoying the spectacle.

I’m smarter than you,
He probably is

He definitely is

He definitely will

Pollsters are dumbfounded because they have no idea of how a regular American taxpayer lives.  Not the cowboy, not the nurse, not the hand in an oil patch, not the fisherman, not the auto mechanic, not the clerk, not the pharmacist, not the carpenter, not the construction worker, and on and on.

The pollsters are dumbfounded because they are DUMB!
Stupid cannot be fixed.

Isn't it funny that America's greatest President was a Gentleman farmer who humbled himself before God and man,  not a popular blowhard socialite.

I gather you are satisfied with things as they are in DC and do not welcome anyone who will shake it up a bit, and get people like you and me talking about how to save our great country from the scam artists currently in charge.

How bout you and me talk about the big picture and grasp the great tasks before us.  You have the word NAVY in your sign-on.  I'm guessing you probably served your country.  Thank you for that service.
Let's you and I, then, continue to serve her as best we can by having an honest dialogue.  Do you agree?
