Bush, McCain, and Romney, are decent to the core. You don’t agree with them on policy, but they are men of integrity. And the left, and the media, attacked him without mercy.

Trump brings much of it upon himself, but is also attacked in deranged fashion.

So what is the right supposed to do, Spence, in order to get a presidential candidate treated fairly?

Your side created Trump with the way they treated McCain and Romney. You still don’t get it.

Trump won, and he is fulfilling more campaign promises than the country is used to, and many things are working. The left can’t handle that their queen bee got creamed by a jerk who actually knows how to get things done, and who could care less about how things have always worked in the swamp.

He appointed a superpower Supreme Court Justice who was on the right side of some huge rulings this past week, the economy is roaring, my tax rate is down, and terrorists are on the run. Call those expectations whatever you want, it’s better than I saw for the last eight years.

He’s not anything like an arsonist. He’s a thoughtless bigmouth.

If you way back in the archives you'll see I was a McCain supporter until he lost his mind and chose Palin over Lieberman.

The press is just reporting his deranged behavior.

Media treatment of Republicans didn't create Trump.

He has a single significant legislative achievement. Most of Trump's "getting things done" has just been to break stuff without any plan to fix it. Now they're talking leaving the WTO. The recklessness of this is mind bending and the GOP is hiding under the table.

This is the saddest and scariest part. Many lawmakers in the gop disagree with things like tariffs and his handling of NK, Syria, Russia (we’ll see), but they are scared #^&#^&#^&#^&less of being primaried by a Trumpite so they are collectively hiding except for the few retirees.....

"I was a McCain supporter until he lost his mind and chose Palin over Lieberman. "

So the republican nominee is supposed to pick a liberal democrat for a running mate? I see you didn't hold it against Obama or Hilary when they chose running mates within their party.

"Media treatment of Republicans didn't create Trump."

Not entirely. Combined with liberals who demand tolerance on Monday and engage in riots in Tuesday to silence conservative speakers, had something to do with it. CNN giving debate questions to Hilary had something to do with it. The right reached its limit of being able to tolerate the horsesh*t. The results speak for themselves.


"He has a single significant legislative achievement"

Well, he's not part of the legislative branch now, is he? He eliminated lots of regulations, cut taxes for individuals and corporations, ended the Obama practice of separating families, nominated a superb supreme court justice who was on the right side of some major, major decisions.

"break stuff without any plan to fix it."

He's not breaking national security or the economy, and that's what matters to most people. What's broken, exactly?

It would have been a winner likely and brought a lot of bi-partisanship. Instead they went for the trick play.

Most voters don't give a whip about colleges who don't want hate speech on campus. CNN didn't give debate questions to Clinton either, a democratic operative who was a contributor to CNN passed info along. Can't blame the media here.

He ended the Obama practice of separating families? Now you're just trolling, I won't be a party to that nonsense.

Backing out of the Iran deal, coddling up to Putin, disparaging NATO and our longstanding alliances all undercut our national security.

Starting unnecessary and reckless trade wars, pulling out of favorable trade agreements, lying about our trade imbalances, lying about the deficit etc... etc... isn't helping the economy. Market gains for the year are gone and business is spooked.

Just out of curiosity, why weren’t you criticizing obama for not picking Mitch McConnell? If McCain should have picked Lieberman, why the double standard on your part? Have fun with that.

Market gains are gone ytd. The market is way up since he got sworn in, and that’s what matters.

It’s that Trump magic, started as soon as he was sworn in.
Now he’s going to pick a Supreme Court Justice from a list someone gave him, he’s interviewing to get a “feeling” he’ll know in a minute cuz that’s what he does.

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?

"It’s that Trump magic, started as soon as he was sworn in."

As always, you are responding to something that isn't even close to anything that anybody said. As always, you do that, because you cannot respond effectively to what we are actually saying. The economy did well under Obama, It is doing better, now, under Trump. Obama got the credit he was due, Trump does not. Your side cannot bring themselves to admit that he's not Hitler.

"Now he’s going to pick a Supreme Court Justice from a list someone gave him"

And what the hell do you suppose Obama did? Put on a disguise and sit in lower courts all over the country to see judges for himself?

Put down the Kool Aid for three seconds, and think, man.
