We do have a National Emergency . . . . . The Great CounterPuncher is no more !!!! Ann Coulter: Trump Trying ‘To Scam The Stupidest People In His Base’ “If he signs this bill, it’s over,” the right-wing commentator said about the president’s national emergency declaration. President Donald Trump’s former hardline supporter Ann Coulter is continuing to turn on him, slamming his national emergency declaration as a way to “scam the stupidest people in his base.” Coulter, who some have speculated influenced Trump’s decision to stand firm in his demands for border wall funding last December as the federal government spiraled into a shutdown, has been visibly furious with the president ever since he backed down.
Wait . . . . . . The Great CounterPuncher is back. Donald Trump Goes Mariah Carey On Ann Coulter: ‘I Don’t Know Her’
What annoys me was Trump framing the wall as basically a cure all to illegal immigration. He could have reduced the disappointment of his base and his own ultimate political cost by changing course earlier. I imagine after Trump found a voter hot button with illegal immigration he came up with his wall idea. It is simple for his base to understand and thus easy to sell to them. Unfortunately, Trump and did too little research on what the key issues of illegal immigration were and in so doing caused himself to get locked into a losing issue. Trump made a serious mistake that could ultimately cost him reelection. I still support Trump because overall, he is by far the best leader for us versus all the Democratic contenders. I don’t say this lightly because I am a registered Democrat. The following is a list of top Democratic primary contenders, prominent Democratic politicians, and a wildcard. On this list I put why they do not measure up to Trump. Kamala Harris: Based on a video of her, it appears she believes political power eminates from the Government to the people. People are given their rights because the Government allows it. The United States was build upon the idea that its people are the sovereign and their representative Government derives its power from the people. Kamala Harris does not measure up to Trump because her philisophical is incompatible to the foundation of our Constitution. Joe Biden: Although Joe is smart and a bit of a nut (Which I consider a admirable quality), he represents the establishment to me. Voter polls for decades have shown low scores for direction of country and trust of the Federal Government. Those who want US politics to change its course are likely to be disappointed with Joe Biden. Beto O’Rourke: I see this guy as a shallow class clown who is hard to take serious with his sophomoric stunts. There are other ways to get voters attention. In addition, some in his own party question whether Beto can stand the heat of political battle. Hillary Clinton: Hillary has probably the most impressive resume of this group. Although Hillary has been excessively beat down by the Republicans, my concern here is her blanket statements concerning large groups of people such as “basket of deplorables”. This was not her first such blanket statement and it was not her last. Each time she made one these type of statements, it hurt her credibility as a leader in my opinion. Whatever happened to tolerance? Oprah Winfrey: I would readily vote for her if I felt she was generally free of Radical Leftist influences and thought she could handle Republican attacks reasonably well. Oprah is a successful business owner and her popular shows help people’s lives. It is my perception that Oprah’s personality and following are strong enough to overcome the Radical Leftist agenda. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: Alexandria is the heir-apparent Presidential candidate for the Socialists. The Socialists have been gaining power over all levels of government over the last few years. In my opinion, based on demographic trends, I see Alexandria as ultimately successfully becoming President of the United States. She appears dumb as a rock now, but the Socialist’s will devote unlimited resources to her so she will become a viable candidate in the future. Besides, who gets more press coverage than her? It is like Trump when he was getting heavy press coverage when he was running in 2015 because of all his outrageous statements. Bernie Sanders: Likeable, has a strong following, and perceived to have been unfairly screwed by Hillary in the primaries. Bernie may be a great guy, but my concerns are based on the company he keeps and his lack of experience in the business world. The driver of our exceptional standard of living is our entrepreneurial based productivity. Bernie is likely to push policies that dampen incentive for businesses or the wealthy to invest in the United States. Should Bernie win the Presidency, the monetary outflow out of the United States from his election to his swearing in would be breathtaking. Trump has his own issues and has made several unnessary mistakes. Trump cares about our economic system and our freedoms. Further, he understands business and human nature well enough to be our best option for President in the 2020 elections.
Here's a question.... did anyone really believe he would build a wall? Let alone have Mexico pay for it. I mean come on... that had nothing to do with it. The real reason he won is because people were fed up with, and still are, DC and all it entails. Trump was perceived to be (in the vernacular of trading) a "disruptive technology". Couple that with an opponent who is despised by anyone with half a brain.... and bingo bango bongo.... 306 EC points. I wonder if we'll ever see a candidate for president in our lifetime that the entire country supports. If I had to bet, I'd say no. So much damage is done. Sad really, because most people out there... really are good. That includes the illegals. Oh well. Enjoy the show.
A wall would be a good idea. It’s not the only solution to the problem - but it’s a big part of it. It would Keep the dirty criminal fentanyl bringing murderer rapist scum from illegally entering the country. Who would be against that? Oh that’s right - the stupid fucking Dems. Trumpy signed a horrible bill according to what I’ve seen. Not sure what else he’s got up his sleeve but this is not good.
Trump cares about Trump. He is transactional, not ideological. He will drop you and turn on you the moment he thinks it will help him. Trump does not truly understand business. He bankrupted two of them. He wants money and is more of a brand than a businessman. If you want a true businessman look to Bloomberg. Trump isn’t even our best option for 2019. Trump is wearing down the country by causing division on everything. Now democrats are responsible for fentenol (so)? Wtf? That’s an easy win for trump where he can get wide ranging national support for policy but he chooses to use it to divide the country. Believe it or not, the same thing is true for immigration. If you look at the senate bill for immigration reform the only thing a hard line conservative may disagree with is a pathway to citizenship. Besides that it’s a pretty tough immigration bill with a national e verify system that will effectively end woolens being able to live in America illegally. But these right wingers are stuck on politics based on retribution that they can’t even accept a win. As to the dem candidates, imo the ones who have entered so far are vice presidential level candidates although Klobuchar may be able to break through and Harris has an incredible support network. The real heavies are still to come. What you will get Biden, Brown and my personal favorite Holder will set the tone with a much more practical vision. As to AOC, 1. She is a reincarnation or Bernie Sanders. Her campaign and congressional staff are all Bernie bros. They are left wing radicals and social media savvy. 2. She is burning out quickly. I’ve been purposely keeping an eye on her and her message is starting to get the scrutiny it deserves. The green dream or whatever is not good policy. It’s basically Trump’s border wall, it’s not going to work and has no chance of becoming actual legislation. She has also taken a big hit with her radical take on Amazon HQ2. That is a damn tragedy for NY. It was all the rage to go against a big bad corporation until the reality of them saying duck you, I will take these jobs somewhere else. Now she looks like the grinch that stole Christmas.
