How *do* you get things so a$$ backwards?  Conservatives in the Congress are not the President's enemies, they have become his strongest supporters and are proud to be on his team.  So I really don't know what you're still whining about.

Meh. It is doing them damage in their cooperation.

Quote
Yet you miss completely the team the President has refused to join --- the one where so damn many of the members (now dropping like flies) are beholden to open border special interest groups and lobbyists across the board.

You fail to acknowledge that these "team players" want "reasonable" federal judges and promote climate change as a serious concern, reasonable gun control as part of America's best interests, China as our friend and globalism as our future so American workers should stop whining and play by the new rules. 

I have failed to acknowledge nothing.

Quote
The team you're upset the President didn't join is the GOP branch of the swamp.  They are intractable in their resistance to putting America and her people first and liars when they promote themselves as other than what they really are .... indentured slaves to the globalist state.

If anyone is part of your mythical 'swamp', is would be McConnell, Graham, and the rest of the so-called moderates, that remain in control.

Quote
   
I cannot believe you truly think the President is at fault for not playing on that team and by their rules ---- and consider the unceasing compulsion to remove him from office a just outcome. 

This is a stunning eye-opener @roamer_1

That's bullcrap @Right_in_Virginia
I am not in favor of removing him from office any way but two:
The first, if he were to step down on his own, and Pence would ascend, the second, by election of another. And I have never advocated otherwise.

Your defense does not in any way erase the bare fact that, having no ability to build a coalition, he has governed by EO, which in effect means that all, or rather most of what he has done, will pass in the ether with the next democrat in the White House. And that is, any way you want to cut it, a failure.

That is why I keep pointing out the fact... There is nothing Conservative here that we get to keep, beyond (possibly) judges, a corporate tax cut, and 1% of the promised wall... All far outstripped by massive spending.

Conservatives working with the most conservative president in more than a generation and pushing through a conservative agenda in as many areas as possible is doing them damaging them politically?   

Alrighty.    88devil

   Sometimes it may prove to be more interesting to look out the windows of that fast moving Trump Train and see the collateral damage in the ditches on the sides of the track.  The GOP, a lot of Conservatives, Evangelicals hell even the NRA and Conservative TV/Radio is a shell of what it was before Trump was elected.  Good Luck. 
No government in the 12,000 years of modern mankind history has led its people into anything but the history books with a simple lesson, don't let this happen to you.

You say that just like it's a bad thing. It is THESE RINO SOB's that are responsible for us being where we are now as a nation,and who make a "outsider" President like Trump necessary.

Good riddance to backstabbing trash.

The damage will be irreparable........ at least in my lifetime.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

True Conservatives would impeach Trump

Because it would give us President Pence?

I agree with you that the last three years have seen progress on a conservative agenda.  Where we differ is whether it can be sustained beyond 2020 with Trump as the leader of the GOP.

Pres. Trump has made great strides towards conservatism in spite of all the roadblocks thrown at him. My question has always been will he stay that course or will he lean to the left knowing that he no longer has to appeal to his base because he won't be seeking re-election?

IMHO so far he has led the GOP and this country very well.  It is unfortunate that there are so many RINO's in Congress.
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

He may take a left on some pet issues, especially if they lose the Senate, but overall I would think that it might make sense to predict what he's going to do as a whole based on his choice of judges.  That's what's really going to matter about his presidency long term.

@Jazzhead

The problem will be that Trump is NOT the leader after  2020.

The obvious answer is a strong conservative (NOT the same thing as an alleged Republican/one of the usual suspects!) VP to run and take over the reins. I am not sure Pence is that man,but I guess time will tell.

@libertybele

IMO,he is not now,and has never ran to appeal to his base. In FACT,he didn't HAVE a base until he ran and was elected.

I have said it before and I will say it again,Trump runs and governs for the history books,not people. It just so happens that his compulsion to puff up his ego by looking like a political hero that saved America/Great President in the history books works out for those of us who would like to keep America as a free and independent nation instead of becoming cogs in a Globalist Machine.

@InHeavenThereIsNoBeer

The Judges and the Courts are the single most important thing that can save us from creeping socialism/globalism,and I have been continually shocked that the left seems to have completely ignored Trump's judicial appointments.

They are either more naive than I think they are,or they think the judiciary no longer matters because they will be in a position to do anything they want to do.

Which should really highlight WHY we need to focus on getting Trump re-elected.

@corbe

You are right.  Trump has split the GOP, split conservatives, split evangelicals, split the NRA, split TV/Radio, and keeps doing it daily.  He has lived his life this way, kept turmoil going, starting turmoil after turmoil.  Used a fake name to call newspapers in New York City, and tell them what Trump was doing, so he got his name in the paper almost daily.
He is not normal.

And Trump’s crazy IF he said he consulted Martians about how he might win re-election. You don’t know if he said that, either. Scan the papers. I’m sure if you look hard enough you’ll find some reporting about the Trump-Martian collusion scandal.  *****rollingeyes*****
