President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

My pleasure. It'll be interesting to see if protest drives votes, or even turnout.

Tea Party might say yes.

Nixon'68 says no.

 

Just curious, but why?

Because you'd prefer any Republican who wins the TX-21 primary, sight unseen, to Kopser? Do you know anything else about Joseph beyond what was in that post? Does the "D" next to his name disqualify him in your eyes? Or is it something else?

Not trying to pick a fight. Just trying to understand where you're coming from.

 

I agree with this. Some of the things that Trump has said that he believes – everything from rebuilding our infrastructure to eliminating the carried interest deduction – are things that plenty of Dems could get behind. Except for... some of the things in the rest of your post make that impossible.

 

Checked that paper out and it, or a version of it, was published in 2013 in a top, top economics journal. Odd that that’s where it found its home.

 

Just curious about the view from the right...where did the fault lay for the shutdowns on Obama's watch?

 

He is pro-abortion. Automatically disqualifies him for me.
I lived in that district for portions of Smith's tenure, and the rep who preceded him, Tom Loeffler. They did a fine job in my view.

 

But if he can’t get Cotton and his cabal to sign off, it won’t matter. And Trump has zero sway over the future POTUS. He is running the show not Trump.

 

Fair enough. Though I would characterize him as pro-choice, not pro-abortion. Regardless, I'm not looking to litigate the term – you gave a straight answer. Thanks.

 

Anyone who says that anyone else is pro abortion is an ignorant fool. Just a vulgar wretch of a shell of human. Abortion is none of your business unless you are pregnant. Most people who don’t want others to get abortions are just control freaks who hate that others have choices and who otherwise wouldn’t lift a finger or a dollar to help a stranger.

The Bible is replete with references that adultery is a grave sin and third only to idolatry and murder. Yet most anti choice people love adulterous behavior in their leaders.

 

The best people ...

 

Seems to be a trend

Scoop: Trump turns on his Interior Secretary

 

As I have often said, I'm not really reveling in so many of Trump's cabinet appointees being such spectacular failures. He'll just replace them with even less competent people.
