BREAKING>>>Scaramucci out as WH Comms Director

[Sanguine]

We could have had a Governor with a track record like Scott Walker, not some do-nothing senator.

Also, per Marco Rubio and many others, same senator, Cruz,  ran dirtiest campaign in years.

This is a cry baby thread, where posters have to start naming others. Boo-Hoo.

General Kelly let Scaramucci go.  He did the right thing.

Good morning, Tom.  I see you're in your usual form.  I guess it's "when with Trump, do as Trump".

[jpsb]

excerpt:
It was not clear whether Mr. Scaramucci will remain employed at the White House in another position or will leave altogether.

It is pretty clear to me that Mr Scaramucci will not remain at the WH.

[jpsb]

BWHAHAHAHA!

sigh

We could have had Ted Cruz, but @Right_in_Virginia  and her ilk got their way and now we have this train wreck.

I used to think the government could be better run by a random name from the phone book. I'd like to amend that to include "unless that name is Donald Trump."

Thanks, Trumpettes for foisting this crap show on us!

No we could not have had Ted Cruz. Cruz ran a horrible, dirty campaign and would have been destroyed by Hillary and then there is that little not an NBC problem.

And Trump ran a squeaky clean one treating all his opponents with respect?  Hillary and her arrogance self imploded by ignoring entire states that she thought she had in the bag. She walked all over him in the debates.  It was Hillary who lost, not Trump who won

Whatever, the president of the United States is Donald Trump not Ted Cruz and not Hillary  Clinton. Trump beat all comers, wishing, hoping and day dreaming is not going to change that. Conservatives and conservatism would be better served by getting behind Trump and helping him implement his agenda to MAGA.

This election proved one thing. ANYONE could have beaten Hillary.

@jpsb

How exactly would that be done?  Trump won, like you say.  It's his responsibility to make good on his campaign promises.  What else does he need from the people besides the votes that got him there?

I specifically remember being told, over and over, "just vote for him, and when he gets in there we'll hold his feet to the fire."

Well, he's there, so lets do that.   Enough people got behind him to elect him, so it's up to him now.

[INVAR]

That would be the exact same thing as insisting that Christians and Christianity would be better served by getting behind the Islam and the Caliphate to implement Sharia Law.

Same thing.

We do not choose to forget that your Trump is a lifelong NY Liberal Democrat.

Not true, "the folks" wanted an outsider to shake things up in DC. Every person running except Trump was a professional politician. In a typical R vrs D race advantage goes to D. Trump motivated a lot of dem voters to vote R. No other R but Trump could have done that.

Anyone With a pulse.  After further consideration, in this instance, having a pulse may not have been a prerequisite..

No he can not do it all by himself, write your congress people and tell them to vote to repeal OCare, tell them to get on with tax refroms, etc. Defend him from all this Russian BS in you local paper and on Twitter, etc. Expending him to do it all on his own is really just more of "sitting it out" and the hell with the country. In short sour grapes from sore losers.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Its no wonder Ringling brothers circus closed.  They could no longer compete with the Trump administration.

And yet Cruz couldn't beat him.   

[Cripplecreek]

I can't help but wonder where these Trump supporters were in 08 when Duncan Hunter ran on virtually the same platform as Trump without the insanity.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Except any one of the 16 Republicans who couldn't beat Donald Trump.

You're a one trick pony and your trick "Trump is a lifelong NY Liberal Democrat" is not a very good one.



Trump: enforce immigration laws
Trump: secure our borders
Trump: defeat ISIS and let the generals run all the wars Zero and the neocons (you) got us into
Trump: stay the hell out of Syrian civil war
Trump: better relations with all countries including Russia
Trump: no to joining the Paris accords on man made global warming
Trump: no to joining Trans Pacific Partnership
Trump: regulatory reform
Trump: tax reform
Trump: conservative judges appointed to the courts
Trump: renegotiating bad trade deals
Trump: bring jobs and manufacturing back to the USA
Trump: defund Planned Parenthood
Trump: repealing the Affordable Care Act

All that sounds pretty conservative to me.

Except that he hasn't done any of it. Trump was elected by people who fantasized about how good he would be. Well? Where's all the tax reform? and the ACA repeal? And the secured borders? Why are we still in Syria?

[Sanguine]

That's irony, right?

[Sanguine]

And yet Cruz couldn't beat him.   

Not after the dirty games at the convention.  Remember Priebus?

Hey - you all get over it - TRUMP WON.  Not sure why you want to keep refighting it.

Still pushing that tired old lie I see

[Cripplecreek]

Trump was the degenerate lowlife piece of garbage who couldn't win without lying and relying on other lowlife trash who happily cheered what they knew were lies.

[INVAR]

No he can not do it all by himself,

He hasn't done shit except Twitter and telling his revolving door of Chiefs of Staff "You're fired" - which is about the only talent he has displayed that he has.

write your congress people and tell them to vote to repeal OCare, tell them to get on with tax refroms, etc.

Where was he on lobbying Congress for repeal?  You think a couple of Twitters is the measure of what it was going to take?   I thought your prince was the king of 'Art of the Deal'?? 

He's a fraud.

Defend him from all this Russian BS in you local paper and on Twitter, etc.

Trump shouldn't need the help of people who had nothing to do with creating the appearance of evil.  He should be able to defend himself on those scores.

But he hasn't.  He's only made it more suspicious.

Expending him to do it all on his own is really just more of "sitting it out" and the hell with the country. In short sour grapes from sore losers.

I thought your prince could single-handedly MAGA??  Isn't that what you told us?  Get on the Trump train or get run over?  Trump was going to give payback?  Trump was going to do this.  Trump was going to do that.

Now to expect him to do all the shit you people insisted he could do is 'sour grapes'???

You make us laugh.

They refuse to take a simple "Yes" for an answer, @Sanguine.  They demand you get on your knees as well.  Being defeated is less important than being humiliated.  They'll get no such satisfaction here, and it's infuriating.

This explains almost all the conflict I see on this board.

Some people believe that if you tell a lie often enough...

Some people must just live in a alternative universe.

Trump is doing just about all of what I laid out. Where it can do it on his own authority it is being done. When he needs Congress to act, well things are not going as well.

We did not join the Paris accords
We did not join TTP
Regulatory reform is happening; 16 old regs removed for every new reg adopted.
Immigration laws are being enforced and deportation, real deportation are up
Conservatives are being appointed to the courts
We are getting out of Syria.
We are winning the war on ISIS and Trump is not micro managing it.

I hate to break it to you but Trump is keeping his promises.
