“It is very depressing to me that Conservatives mock and condemn Roy Moore, but they support Donald Trump, who has previously bragged on dozens of occasions about his own womanizing.”

First of all, Ryan didn’t have the votes to be Speaker until Trump got the HFC to support Ryan. Anytime Trump wanted he could have had the HFC (the only bloc of loyal Trumpites in Congress)to file a vacate the chair motion and Ryan would have been gone. Trump ALWAYS had leverage over Ryan and control of Ryan’s job security. A Speaker NEVER has job security...ever.TRUMP came out and supported Ryan as Speaker when he didn’t have the votes.
Second: a simple veto would have worked.
third: Trump could have impounded up to around a trillion a year in “unobligated” funds. These are laws/funding that are renewed every fiscal year despite the AUTHORIZATION having run out.
what a joke. The facts are Trumps wants to spend about a trillion more in 2020 than Obama’s last year in fiscal 17. This is his WISH list. HIS PRIORITIES. This has nothing to do with Congress at this stage. You need a major civics lesson on what a Presidential budget is and is not.
he is either weak or simply socialist. does not matter. He easily could have forced Ryan to at least frozen spending.

Well maybe actually supporting conservatives would be a better option...Defending Trump against the Dems is one thing...but saying he is doing great amongst “conservatives” when he is a sellout socialist is a major problem.

Uh, That is crazy. Reagan cut spending his first year without control of either house...and trump is spending 800 billion more than Obama...MORE THAN OBAMA. 800 billion was the amount of the entire budget in 84...he is not doing what he can. Trump is a socialist.

You understand this is the worst budget ever right?
He wants to spend 56 trillion over ten years...he wants to spend 4.75 for 2020...that is 800 billion more than when Obama left two years ago...plus he wants to give Ivanka 100 million to advance the left...
This “milo” thing and his supporters (before and after the news) just proves the point that most “conservatives” are in fact closet leftists. Most (many??) freepers are humanist leftists.
There is no such thing as the conservative movement. They are all a bunch of sell out hacks.
“But America is doomed ... even supposed ‘conservatives’ on a supposedly ‘conservative’ forum have already surrendered their principles and come to love Big Brother.”
yep. There are very few conservatives in this country.
