If you are a conservative, then you didnt win. You as a conservative should have a problem with Presidnet Trumps economic policies.
You won more with Trump then with Hilary nor Sanders for sure.

You are going to get us deleted again. I don't have an issue with his freeze on Fed jobs and if he gets his agencies to audit their spending I will be even happier.

Oh. I wasn't aware that many people thought otherwise.

If Trump is what he claims to be, then as the poster below claims, I probably won more than "we(conservatives)" did.

Money taken out of politics, Companies losing tax breaks for moving their headquarters overseas. Claims he will keep all LGBT protections(although earlier he said the opposite, but we will see).

Trump could actually end up doing on the things that those of us on the left wanted from Hillary economically except, he wouldnt be afraid of his party and would just do it.

Keep trying.
I'm not "trying." I'm actually watching the game.

And I enjoyed Lady Gaga's performance and thought it was pleasantly non controversial.

I dont have an issue with a freeze in and of itself, I have a problem with the fact that there are open positions that need to be filled that wont.

I don't think it says much about immigration. It's talking about the whole country. The next part of it goes from California to the NY Islands.

OK - is that somehow controversial or politically "loaded?"

"Need to be filled" can be debated. It is a fact, having worked for two state governments, that holding positions open for salary savings is widely done both in states and at the Fed. It pisses me off every time I see it. If you don't "need" a body for 6 months then you don't need that position.

ETA - Moreover if jobs are duplicated, get rid of them.
