And just to be clear, Trump is a major league dirt bag. But as a conservative he is doing good things for the country. Thinking what AOC or Kamala Harris or Liz Warren might do makes me shudder. As bad as a person as he is, he is okay as a president.
Your first sentence is correct.
The second sentence is wrong and ridiculous. He has made America the fools of the world, untrusted by our traditional allies, and is a security risk.
Your third sentence is an opinion with no factual basis to dispute. You can shudder to anything.
Your last sentence is bonkers beyond belief. You will be on the wrong side of history here. He is by far the worst President the US has ever had. He lies constantly and snuggles up to murderous dictators, and of course he is a criminal. Sorry, but such a person can NOT be "okay as a president."
Mueller is coming.
The clown is done.

If the economy continues to be gangbusters, it won't matter who the Democratic nominee may be (and the whole field is pathetic at best) Trump will win in a landslide.
Trump will serve out his remaining 2 years. And it looks increasingly likely that he will be re-elected for another 4 years.
As much as you despise the guy, get ready because you are about to have Trump for another 6 years. Congrats comrades!
the economy is not gangbusters. It is not materially different than in 2016. Or 2015. Just a little better on the margins. So that argument is not going to work with anyone but spankers.
The level of hate toward Spanks among non-Rs is virtually unprecedented. He has brought millions and millions of people back into the ranks of voting...just so they can vote against him. That was the story of 2018 and that will be the story of 2020.
Solid chance that in January 2021 both houses and the WH will be controlled by Dems, and Rs will have Spanks and only Spanks to thank for that. So in that sense yeah, he's good for the country.
Which is why I asked the question above. The markets have rebounded from the bottom falling out and erasing all of 2018 gains. My guess is that they’ll fall hard again and stay down as the global economy stagnates.
So the Fed has cancelled the rate hikes for the rest of the year and drops the projected GDP growth down to 2.1%. Feb jobs report was probably just a glitch or bump in the road. Still most economic experts are predicting a downturn prior to Election Day 2020. It’s not Trump’s fault. The economy has been humming along positively since around 2010.
PS: unless Trump gets back those Rust Belt voters he will lose. Right now he’s under water in those states because of the tariffs. His net approval has dropped around 20% in PA, WI, and MI as well as OH. He simply hadn’t increased his base and has lost a lot of moderate voters.

And he’s eroding his military support with Mattis leaving and his continued attacks on McCain. I think that’s why he continues to say how much the military supports him. To convince them that they actually do.

come on man. economic experts a) don't mostly predict a downturn this or next year and b) even if they did, they're just guessing. Few of them even saw the financial crisis coming. They know nothing.
but yeah, MI, WI and PA look like one-time weird flukes.

No there were some who saw 2008 coming but the big banks didn’t care because they were making tons of money.

there is no chance 51 percent of economist predict a recession in 2019 or 2020.
Maybe you think 'downturn' means something different, I dunno.
Yeah, a few were right on 2008. A stuck clock is right twice per day.

You are the typical sore loser. Electoral C , was a problem when GW won. Not a problem when Obama won, now it is a problem when Trump won. Trumps approval rating went up this week fyi.
What is putin’s approval rating in Russia?
Trick question, there’s never been a poll.

Your son is on here from morning to night. To say that he has zero life is a compliment. This thread is his obsession and his entire life. I'd bet dime to dollars that he's a raving racist and loves his boyfriend.

You mean because of California? Yeah, those 4.1 million more votes in one state mean nothing. Wow, think much? A poster explained it quite well a few pages ago, were you sleeping again?
2020, maybe again wrote:
data hurts wrote:
Drop Gary Johnson out of the race, and Trump wins Minnesota, too.
Hillary only won the popular vote due to one state, period. Keep telling yourself differently. I deal with stats 5 days a week. Obviously many of you don't. Had Trump won the popular vote by 2 percent and had won 1 state by well over 4 million votes, the same would apply to him if that one state would have literally reversed the popular vote from one candidate to the other by the same percent.
This simple fact will confuse many of you libs and you'll look for a smart comeback, but there isn't one. Comparing Texas or New York for either candidate, which one poster has tried to do in the past, is clearly a ridiculous comparison.
Bottom line, Hillary was suppose to crush it in both the electoral and popular vote, she did not. Trump, as many wise posters have already explained, won by a larger percent in the electoral college than Hillary did by the entire popular vote, including California. If things were reversed, you'd all be touting that over and over, she won the electoral college by almost 20%---but she didn't.
***Add up Ohio, Michigan, North Carolina, Florida, Wisconsin & Pennsylvania and Trump won them all with just less than 1 million more votes than Clinton got in the same states, but he won each state. That's just one easy example and these were states that she was suppose to win, remember. Yet she won California by over 4.1 million votes. Add up how many states Trump won to get to 4.1+ million more votes than Hillary got in California (1 state) and you'll be surprised. All of those states combined are more important than one state's results. If you don't agree, well then, think about it...? Hint: You've proven my point.
One state cannot decide the election, hence the electoral college that Democrats loved so much, until they cried and whined when California's votes were put in near the end and then exclaimed, "But she won the popular vote, she won the popular vote!". She absolutely did, but only because of one predominantly liberal state.
The main 5 lib posters on here can't accept the fact above facts and have tried to compare California to previous elections with Texas. These are the same posters who tell others, it's 2019, join us. Yet they cherry pick when they feel it will benefit them.
Sorry, I truly look at this thread and laugh. 5 or 6 left wingers that have spent months of their lives on here actually think they have all of the world's answers in their small craniums. Accept it, you lost an election that was suppose to be a landslide.
And remember this.
Trump is not getting impeached.
Trump is not resigning before the end of his first term.
Flagpole is so delusional with politics that I'm embarrassed for you followers. But wait for it, as he'll have a comeback of how he's right and everyone else is wrong. Stay tuned.
p.s. To the bozo who said it was only a few states that gave Trump the win in the electoral college, think again. That kind of thinking has many options, quite a few that would have given Trump even more.
I truly agree with this post. Good stuff mate!

agip,
I DO agree with you that he was and is a GREAT campaigner. We may never see another one like him. It is nearly impossible to compete in that arena with a guy who has Narcissistic Personality Disorder (or some form of that) who just basks in applause and adulation. He feeds off of this while other normal human beings find it to be work. I was among those impressed with his campaigning. Unfortunately it wasn't due to some great work ethic but rather an illness that propels him toward applause and adulation.
Agree completely with FP there and will again add that no way in hell would he have stood a chance in any other previous election. It was really a perfect storm - GOP was mangled and the base desperate for a savior, unlike everyone else as outsider he got to be himself in a endless egotistical feedback loop, and he had the benefit of going up against a weakened opponent who didn’t work hard enough. He would not have stood a chance in any other election while the GOP was somewhat still in one piece.
He is amazing at being a blowhard, without any effort, and it happened to work in his favor both on TV and in a presidential election. He doesn’t get any more credit than that.
Take away daddy’s money he would have been an even more brain dead burger inhaling redneck.
Agip - do you really think it takes hard work to dupe the conservative base at the moment? Couple that with the fact that +40% will fall in line no matter which idiot is their nominee and you have Trump in the WH.

You’re wrong re economy. Economy was steaming along when he showed up and he added a massive amount of debt needlessly. He will get roasted over that so it’s not a home rub by any means that the economy continues its course while he was president. Dude Bush Sr was doing an excellent job and lost. Trump is a very hated man right now by a majority of voters. That is not debatable. But go ahead keep thinking they won’t show up again. People are fired up.
