and if you don’t already know that i’m upset with his rhetoric, then you have serious issues with either comprehension or memory.

i have more disdain for trumps moral lapses than most here, and unlike
most of them, that disdain is genuine, it isn’t political. i don’t ignore bad behavior if i agree with the guy doing it.

Trump is repugnant. but in my opinion, the country is far better off with him in there, than we’d be if Hilary won.

you’re happy to praise him when he’s earned it? all you ever say about the economy, is how farbthe market is off its all time
high. how many presidents leave office with the market at an all time high on their last day?

anyone who isn’t doing cartwheels
about the current economy, is likely a pure ideologue. unless you think the debt is too concerning, but that only is genuine if you also expressed concern about the debt under the obama years, and i never heard a single, solitary democrat express such concern.

your notion that he’d get more favorable press treatmentnif he was a decent guy, is absurd. absolutely absurd. tell that to George W, or to McCain until he died. give me a break. The
media can not be favorable, not even fair, to a republican. endless made up attacks.

look at this bullsh*t about how republicans are outraged over the dance video of the socialist from queens. there is no evidence that any republican said anything derogatory about her dancing, but even newsweek put it in a headline, without quoting a single
republican who said they were offended. trump is right, they literally make it up out of thin air if it suits them. how is that wrong?

Oh I acknowledge your repeated claim you detest his rhetoric, that is not what I asked. You and others claim you are discusted with a lack of honesty on this board, to which I asked why you don’t have the same discust for the lies coming out of the White House. Saying you don’t like the man, believing the lies and not taking issue with them are two different things. So your ok with Trumps constant lying, provided he is promoting your agenda, but lying ( a stretch at times as opinion and lying aren’t the same ) on this board makes you crazy.

Double standard don’t you think?

i don’t believe his lies. zero double standard. zip.

i take issue with his lies. he should
be told to stop lying. that doesn’t mean that i can’t say he’s better at this job, than Hilary.

i’m fair GS. ‘Fair’ means i fault him when he is wrong, and i praise him when he does well. You think fair means ignore all the good and focus on the bad.

i didn’t elect him to be the morality czar, or to date my mother. i voted for him to kill terrorists and grow the economy. and to build a wall.

here’s the double standard. there’s video of schumer and bernie saying we need a wall, the democrats once voted for a bill that included 13 billion for a wall. it was a swell idea then. but now, because we hate trump, it’s immoral.

so because illegal crossings are at a low, that means we don’t need a wall? violent crime is also down, would you say we no longer need the police?

a wall will further reduce crossings. if you deny that, you’re not rational.
