Are you kidding???


The Abrams Accord peace deal was unprecedented.


The highest wages for minorities and the working class.


Scrapping federal minimum drug sentences.


The highest funding of HBCUs of any President.


American Energy Independence(!)


Massive Improvement on NAFTA.


Took out Iran as a real player on the World Stage after bombing one of their top military brass.


And, yes, historically low illegal immigration and crime.


I could go on, but you get the point.


The unvarnished truth, is that the only places Trump's MAGA policies didn't make headway were where RINOS like Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell held him back.


That is why MAGA has to clean house.

How about you answer your own questions if you're going to laughably dispute that America wasn't great under Trump, and utterly dismal under Potatohead.
One cannot answer them because they don't have valid answers.

Again, I repeat: EMPTY. RHETORIC.

Wonder which of the 982390487 different definitions of RINO counts? Ive seen purist conservatives called that because they dont like Trump.

Wonder which of the 8907892383897 definitions of MAGA count? etc.

2024 is a LONG way away. Who would have predicted the election in 2016 in 2014?

The future is more like the current. Old vs young and urban vs rural. Not some kind of Republican vs Democrat.

Not just that he could win, but spelled out the difference in the election.

Lets try this again and see if you can comment on what I posted.

Increased spending and debt= yes
Increased welfare= yes
Never ending undeclared unconstitutional wars that make us less safe= yes

The President can veto the increased spending bill. Trump chooses not too.
The President controls troop movements and can bring the troops home at any time. Trump chooses not too.

Like I said. Good on the small ticket items. Maybe the best President in recent years. Overall he was a failure for the reasons I've pointed out.

And yes Ryan and McConnell are sleazy.

Is Mitch up for re-election in November?
Mitch has to go — he keeps getting re-elected even when he’s so unpopular.
If Mitch doesn’t go, it won’t matter if Rs take the senate, Mitch will stifle any real reform and MAGA progress.

Obama's biggest accomplishment was to awaken the sleeping giant that is comprised of rational, centrist Americans. Many of us had fallen into complacency, thinking that government was too big and had too many entrenched career politicians to ever pivot to either the extreme left or right. Obama gave the pendulum a mighty push to the left, causing bat-crap insane lefties and progs to feel empowered. They've gone too far and will suffer the consequences during the next election cycle.
