“Donald Trump might have been a conservative hiding in plain sight this whole time.”

ISN’T THAT SWEET!!!

But I do think we need some apologies here from the people that were TOTALLY WRONG about him. The ones that said “he’s not serious”, “he’s only running to elect Hillary”, “Cruz is the only conservative”, “he’ll take down our hold on Congress, too”, “he’s Hillary’s dream candidate”, “you’ll be sorry”...

I don’t hear much whining about Trump these days. The biggest complaints seem to be about some of the people he’s meeting with, such as Romney and other leftists. Well, Romney still has his resume’ dangling in the wind, and I don’t see many of the other leftists getting important jobs, if any jobs. And people forget that Trump wasn’t handed the keys to the White House on November 9th, he won a very close election (close only because of the anti-Trumpers on our side), and there were still ways to stop him. Starting with the re-counts - he needed REPUBLICANS in the recount states to watch the process and go to court for him, he needed the Electors to HOLD TOGETHER to get him through that critical vote, and he still needs Republican support before he can step into the White House. And whether we like it or not, the VAST MAJORITY of Republican insiders (including Electors) HATE TRUMP...so Trump had an uphill climb to the White House, even after the election...and I’d say he’s been playing it PERFECTLY.

Oh Jarhead, yeh of little faith. I suspect there will be some EO’s affecting Soros on Jan 21’st and we will see that jackass in a cell by the end of April. I could be wrong. It could take till July 4th to jail him.

You can’t compare the two walls because they serves two entirely different purposes. It would be like comparing oranges with tennis balls.

Trump is the most conservative President since Reagan. And the conditions of the day will give him opportunities to be even greater than the Gipper - who is probably smiling down from Heaven at this election cycle.

Gorbachev’s wall was to keep people in. Big difference.

Actually, we need to shuck the conservative laziness and apathy and mount an attack on the media. We do not need to be passive and hope God takes care of things. A little personal responsibility and direct action is in order

You really think that? You truly think that? Has the nationalist populist movement so taken you up that there is nothing we’ll hold our incoming president accountable for? Didn’t we just go through that the last eight years of this from the other side? Hero worship? Thus far his economic team is made up of two Goldman guys (one linked to Soros) and a Bushie pick. I can find numerous ways one could get rid of the guy and one isn’t to appoint him to the most powerful economic position in the world

He had 0 impact on Reagan’s most effective policies during his 8 years in now 4 I’ll give you however 4 he did little. In fact his popularity at the time of his reelection was sound and he should have won. Did I want him to? You bet I did but you know the rest they are called the Clintons.

There is no one even close to what Reagan was, is or will be. Let’s not confuse the two

More conservative than Reagan.

In many ways; that's true.
