For anyone that feels like this administration is going to take the country int he right direction, I genuinely feel sorry for you.

As a hardcore liberal, at this point I would do ANYTHING for Cruz, Rubio, Kasich, or Jeb to be president. At least they know how to be a politician. Trump is an idiot.
Same here.

How does throwing Taiwan under the bus and acceding to the 'One China' policy contribute to 'making America great'?

Why should any rational person like the idea of throwing even more $$$ at what is already by far the most expensive military in the world without even questioning whether cuts could be made in that part of the budget along with all the others where cuts are proposed?

Great speech if the best YOU have is his tone and some imagined "smirk".
So, I guess the dark days are here now that the Dow has crossed 21000. Up 3000 points since Trump took office...

These things are related, recent history cannot be ignored as much as you'd like.
It's beginning to seem like a lot of the issues Trump is for, the republicans were against when Obama said them.

Obama wants immigration reform by early next year | TheHill

Obama pushes $5 billion counterterrorism fund to fight ISIS | TheHill

The bar is THAT low for this man... that he actually behaves and doesn't berate is enough to make people believe he will turn this country around.

How people don't see the partisan bs that is, is beyond me. This it's the typical "I was for it, before I was against it"crap we hear with most wars. WAKE UP PEOPLE!
