And, please refrain from mentioning liberals, media and other irrelevant subjects.

I really like how a regular Joe, albeit a rich one, was concerned enough about the direction of the country to get involved and he struck a nerve in half of America beating out 16 career politicians to face "the most qualified candidate since George Washington" Obama's words not mine, and he beat the crooked one badly.

It is amazing how he has shaken the establishment and broken the rules.

Trump galvanized The People who had never been interested in politics and they turned out to vote for him and against the status quo.

His campaign was one for the ages to be studied, probably never to be repeated but it sure was a show.

Now if his detractors, the Left, the media and others would get out of his way he might really do amazing things for us.

He is a moderate.
Though most people either don't seem to realize that or can't admit it.
Ted Cruz is many times more conservative than Trump...and it is not even close.

Trump is just not afraid of political correctness or confrontation and is is driving certain people insane.

1. Trump lost the popular vote

2. Trump lost new voters.

Donald J. Trump is a progressive who brought his New York values to Washington D.C. He is trying to appeal to conservatives with repeal of Obamacare, a conservative Supreme Court nomination, the wall, regulatory reform, and cutting the EPA by $1 billion.

But look at the bigger picture. He wants to spend $1 TRILLION on infrastructure. He has said he wants the government to cover everyone with health insurance. He wants a border tax and protectionism with regards to trade policy. He's abusing executive orders just like Obama. His Attorney General is committed to spying on innocent Americans and forcing states to ban marijuana. He is continuing to support the Federal Reserve system and is keeping the Department of Education, Department of Energy, and HUD open for business despite having Republicans control the entire federal government. He's proposed nothing in the way of entitlement reform, which is a primary driver of the debt. He's continuing to fight an illegal war in Yemen.

He's not just some guy who's upset about the direction of the country, he's a narcissist who likes power and attention.

Love his positions on ACA, trade, illegal aliens, LEOs, SCOTUS nominees, and his decisiveness

Those of us paying attention will never look at the media the same again. They have lost us.

If Gorsuch gets approved for the Supreme Court and Trump doesn't nuke anybody, I'll be satisfied.
