Got it.
I agree with you.

What’s undeniable is that if he’s prosecuted, it will be highly embarrassing to his voters. If you say otherwise, you’re just lying.
Why would anyone be embarrassed if he’s prosecuted after serving his term(s)? You’re missing the point of what I'm saying, Trump is a means to an end.

Democrats would destroy any ethical pushover POTUS we could have nominated or elected. We needed a royal Grade A ******* to go up against the Grade A *******s on the left and we got him.



Both teams are 100% full of that these days, I'll take what I can get and hope that things get better in the future.

So you sleep with Putin? you said: I really don't care what it takes to get it.

This describes Democrats to a T. You all know it to be true. Another report of FBI/deep state corruption posted today... more to follow. I feel sorry for democrats... sort of... they got taken by their own party and the media.

I sleep with my wife, but thanks for checking. .

What I’m actually saying is that I don’t care what you do with Trump after I’m done getting what I want from him.

What end though? Our politics are cyclical. He isn’t doing anything that has any finality. Everything he’s doing can be reverse engineered by the next hostile administration.

In other words, everything he’s doing to his predecessor’s legacy will be done to his. Trump isn’t immune to his own actions, if that’s what you’re trying to convey. I’m positive that he’s gonna serve two terms, but that won’t make his policies any more irreversible. Witness Obama’s policy positions for proof.

I somewhat agree with you but he's bringing much needed attention to issues like illegal immigration and trade, issues that have been ignored or made worse by both political parties over the last few decades.

The United States isn't going to tear down a hundred miles of new border wall/fence once it's built, we know it works and the border patrol has been begging for more of it. If a big steel wall is the only thing left behind from Trump's terms in office that will still be the biggest win ever for this country and conservatives like myself.

I don't think conservatives or liberals will care what happens to Trump after he leaves office. Why should they? Just like Trump's threats of how he was going to investigate Hillary if he won the election - never happened, and why should anyone care? 2016 is gone and past.

We could have indicted George Bush and Dick Cheney for lying to Congress and the public in order to justify invading Iraq. Maybe we should have, but to what end? The past is the past.

The wall is neither here nor there to me, but okay. I guess that’ll be Trump’s Obamacare.

Still, I can’t help but question if you really think a border wall has any real efficacy. Frankly, I think it’s just gonna end up a big hulking dilapidating relic of a time when we lapsed into xenophobia. Future generations will laugh at us.

But that’s another thread.
