” Trump defeated Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton on Nov. 8, 2016. Since then, the president has frequently invoked his electoral win over Clinton, who won the popular vote by more than 2.8 million votes.”

Who won California by 2.8 million votes.

It’s silly to embrace the term.

You are absolutely correct.

When Cankles called Trump supporters "deplorables" Trump should have said it was true and apologized as Bush, Inc. would have done.

It's so embarrassing having a President who is such a rube.

It is time for the RINOs to better understand the economic concept of elasticity and how they are on the wrong side of things, and how Bannon and Trump understood elasticity and rode it to D.C.

Basically, if the price of gasoline rises 10% to $3/gallon, Exxon-Mobile may see people buy 5% fewer gallons of gas but the company will see revenues GROW.

This dynamic, is currently AT PLAY with Republicans. In short, if you adopt a Trumpian populist/pro-America/non-globalist approach to governance (e.g., a price increase), you may lose RINOs, #NeverTrumpers and other losers, but your gains from Deplorables and taken-for-granted Democrats will enable you to WIN ELECTIONS and, more importantly, move the nation closer to what the Founders intended...

In turn, if you adopt a #NeverTrump/globalist/interventionist approach, sure you'll retain RINOs and other losers but you'll lose the dominant Deplorable class and taken-for-granted Democrats will go back 'home,' and you'll see Republicans have a perpetual re-enactment of this scene from Life of Brian:

It seemed to be communicating that you view the Bushes as models of excellent Presidents and want Trump to be like them.

It makes no sense to identify as a negative term.

You’re the one who thinks Trump should be polite like the Bushies were.

No it is not silly to embrace the term deplorable. Calling half of the people who supported Trump deplorable has to be one of the dumbest things a politician has ever said. By embracing the term we are mocking hillary.

I had skimmed over all the “anniversary” threads but on Breitbart they had the top meltdowns and now I wish they would play the whole thing from 7pm to around 3am because it was a GLORIOUS, JOYFUL, and exhilaratingly peaceful night.

Maybe I should re-read the 10k posts of the live thread for the night.

enjoy

Why? The term was invented to disparage our beliefs and our very existence. By appropriating it as a badge of honor, we fly a huge middle finger in the face of dems and rinos.

I recommend embracing a positive term instead.

So you advocate allowing the left to define us in a way that gives them power, because they use negative terms.

I disagree, FRiend.
