I think I could have express my thoughts more clearly. I suspect that Sam is as frustrated with the RINO’s as I am. He came to Trump’s defense. I didn’t take his comment personally. We are all probably on the same page. Brothers united against RINO’s.

Yes, my post to you was overly personal but driven more in defense of Trump. I'm tired of seeing some of us buy into the media narrative that Trump is ineffective and has had an unsuccessful "first 100 days" when in fact he has accomplished more in those 100 days than pretty much every president going back to Harry Truman. This in spite of the fact that it took months for his Cabinet to get approved and nearly 100% of the media establishments against him.

Even if getting Gorsuch into the Supreme Court was his only big achievement in his first 100 days, it would have made those first 100 days a success. But that was just icing on a very large cake (of Trump achievements).

I noticed in Trump's speech last night when he was good-naturedly needling some congressmen (who were in the audience) about taking so long to get his agenda passed with regard to Obamacare repeal and Tax Reform. But he seemed very confident that things would work out.

The first "100 days" is entirely a media construct designed to paint Trump as a failure and many conservatives buy into it. Things in Washington just don't happen that fast. The unrealistic expectation that Trump would have had all these legislative accomplishments in 100 days basically set Trump up to fail.
