I knew what we were getting. But this is our chance... he's telling you that, if you don't start working with him to get the things that we want, then he's got no choice because he's made these promises and he's going to keep them, even if he doesn't honor it the way you or I would want it done."<br /><br />That was precisely Professor Jacobson's point. That is my point. The so called conservatives need to get in front of this if they want to matter. President Trump is going to try his best to fulfill his campaign promises. It that is done in a conservative way that would be great. But he is going to repeal Obamacare and get premiums down one way or another. Fish or cut bait. It is that simple.Trooper Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01978703998566102194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-51329899091522505382017-03-29T17:52:38.079-04:002017-03-29T17:52:38.079-04:00Sixty you are talking to the wrong guy if you thin...Sixty you are talking to the wrong guy if you think I don't want to hoist the black flag and start cutting throats.<br /><br />Trump is unbelievably too nice. He is too accommodating. He is making a mistake playing nice.<br /><br />It is of course amusing to hear that the Freedom Caucus is saving us from accomplishing anything. They don't want to build the wall. They don't want to repeal Obamacare. They don't want to defund Planned Parenthood. They just want to fundraise and get re-elected as conservative true believers.<br /><br />Trump needs to cut all of their throats. Go to the people. Elect nationalists.

So the AHCA failed - so fucking what. Two months in and everyone's in tears and it's all a disaster. Bullshit. We can probably do better and it's only a big deal if you agree with the media that it's a big deal. Try again, and again, and again. The Dems are never going to cooperate; they can wait this out because their supporters either aren't paying the bills or they're so rich and/or delusional that they don't care.Amartelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11636450794507517534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-73226550645803564692017-03-29T13:39:00.233-04:002017-03-29T13:39:00.233-04:00It really doesn't take long for people to kind...It really doesn't take long for people to kind of snap back from reality as it were. Who do you think would have steered this country into an iceberg? Cacklefaintypants or Trump? So far, one defeat doesn't not a presidency make. He isn't a participation trophy guy. You win some, you lose some. He can come back and attack the ACA again. Let him get some wins under his belt like tax reform, the wall, etc. Let's see if there is political will to do these things and if the cocksucker pussy republican in the house and senate can bolt on their cock n' balls for a change and do it right.<br /><br />Hearing Mitch 'the turtle' McConnell trying to fucking sabotage Trump's ability to get things done is really frustrating. These fuckers are just being spiteful assholes who want him to play by their rules instead of being a disrupter of the process and are willing to fuck the American public to do it.

We constantly point out where he is wrong and is doing the wrong thing. What we don't do is only see his flaws. We also recognize that in the short time he has been in office he has done several very important things that the media covers up and the NeverTrumpers like April ignore or minimize.<br /><br />Today President Trump signed an order to start to reverse the crippling climate change rules that stopped coal production and handicapped the energy industry. He is doing what he can through executive orders even though extreme liberals in the judiciary are throwing up road blocks. To do more he needs a partnership with the Congress. He is not a King. If the Congress does not step up in a unified fashion then nothing will be accomplished.<br /><br />That was the whole point of this post which everyone ignored. The conservatives have a great chance to get most of their agenda passed. They could have defunded Planned Parenthood. They choose not to do so. It is up to them. President Trump can only go to the well so many times. I think they need to rethink their fecklessness.
