Strangely enough, you and I completely agree on those two points. Yes, every 4 years someone loses, and yes, for whatever reason, we view this one completely different than any before. What do you think the reasons for that might be?
Possibly, just possibly, could it be that Donald Trump is SUCH A HORRIBLE choice to run this country, both in character and qualifications, that we view him so much differently than any predecessor in recent history ? We have NEVER seen this backlash from so many people of different backgrounds and nationalities, around the world. That has to make even the most staunch Trump supporter question the reasons.
BTW, I did consult a Dr today, blood pressure is fine, need to lose a couple of pounds, but otherwise, ok. Thanks for asking.
If that's the reason, I think its an hysterical overreaction and I do believe that the media has fanned that flame.
In any case, no one in my book could be sleazier than the Clintons or more unqualified based on experience than Obama. That didn't make half the country unhinged.
Even if you turn out to be right, there are enough checks and balances at play to compensate.
Clearly the founding fathers did not feel it necessary to lay out one shred of qualifications needed to be president other than age/citizenship.
Since taking office, the bulk of what he's "accomplished" is golfing, undertaking self-aggrandizing victory rallies where he lies about his ratings and feeds his narcissistic megalomania, condemning everyone and everything critical of him as fake or the enemy of the people, kissing Vladimir Putin's backside, alienating longtime allies without provocation, whining (and lying) endlessly on twitter like a whiny, bratty kid, and continuing to foment hate and fear against brown people.
And the lemmings eat this crap up and call it candy.
"Jobs have already started to surge. Since my election, Ford announced it will abandon its plans to build a new factory in Mexico, and will instead invest $700 million in Michigan, creating many, many jobs. Fiat Chrysler announced it will invest $1 billion in Ohio and Michigan, creating 2,000 new American jobs. They were with me a week ago. You know you were here. General Motors likewise committed to invest billions of dollars in its American manufacturing operation, keeping many jobs here that were going to leave. And if I didn't get elected, believe me, they would have left. And these jobs and these things that I'm announcing would never have come here. Intel just announced that it will move ahead with a new plant in Arizona that probably was never going to move ahead with. And that will result in at least 10,000 American jobs. Walmart announced it will create 10,000 jobs in the United States just this year because of our various plans and initiatives. There will be many, many more, many more, these are a few that we're naming."
And that's the problem: hell is all he's been giving us, and it's no where near what he promised us when he was campaigning.
President Trump's executive orders are mirroring his campaign actually, and he's made more executive orders per week than any other President.
The only thing he won't do is lock up Hillary Clinton (yet).
He would have replaced Obamacare by now but he was waiting on his cabinet senate hearings, and 2 days ago he said Obamacare will be replaced in March.
Yeah not seen it. Pretty much a Hannity/Trump reach around fest going on there, but hey- they're fair and balanced.
Hannity backs things up with facts and stats though. Just like he did after Obama's exit speech. The MSM just tries to do what you call hit pieces on Trump. That's not news.
I watched the Trump Press Conference. I thought Trump was brilliant, especially with the Fake News assertions, at handling the press.
Shepherd Smith of Fox disagreed evidently, he has a problem like some other journalists with the Fake News narrative. So what? I don't watch his program....how many do? Smith's opinion is irrelevant to me.
I agree Hannity is very sharp. He'd be great at debates.
Heck, imagine if Hannity was Press Secretary! He'd destroy the media.
