Glenn Beck: Trump’s Close to Looking Like ‘Another Republican Who Said Stuff, Didn’t Mean It’
Mediaite ^ | April 13, 2017 | Josh Feldman

Posted on 04/14/2017 6:14:25 AM PDT by Trump20162020

Glenn Beck spoke with CNN’s Anderson Cooper tonight about President Trump changing his position on issues like NATO and China this week.

Beck––who also weighed in on the behind-the-scenes drama regarding Steve Bannon––said that for a lot of people, Trump was their “last hope” because of how different he was from so many other politicians. And he wondered how all those people feel today.

Cooper said that it looks like Trump is now embracing positions that he successfully ran and won against.

“The president,” he added, “is on the verge of beginning to look like another Republican who said stuff, didn’t mean it, and turned into Reince Priebus or Paul Ryan, and that’s not good.”

BTW he effectively labeled China a currency manipulator long ago. He meant what he said. He unquestionably got results.

What more, exactly, are people who are mad “Trump won’t label China a currency manipulator, he went back on a campaign promise” looking for??

This is why I’ve coined the label “absolutists”. They are people who, among other things, take Trump literally, i.e. expect him to “label China a Currency manipulator” no matter what happens. Like it’s an absolute set in stone that under no circumstances can be changed. That is foolish. Situations change, Trump adapts. Why would anyone want Trump to not adapt like so many other politicians do? Like Mitch McConnel on election night thinking the republicans were going to lose the presidency, the house and the senate. That’s an example of rigid non-strategic, non-adaptive thinking.

We have one of those “Al Gore Toilets” (remember those
that Gore decreed back when he and Billious Clintoon were
in the midst of their reign of terror). - Supposed to
“conserve” water, but you have to flush the thing two or
three times to get it all down the potty drain.

Your reassurances don’t exactly counter all the evidence.

I think the FC should have been called out. Absolutists of all stripes should be called out. FC was bragging up the 2015 repeal bill, they revived it last month, where is it now?? They could have had it ready for Trump on day 1 but did they? No. It’s a farce like it always was. It’s an example of how absolutists who can’t adapt to reality end up getting NOTHING done.

I happened to catch part of his radio show last week. Sounded like an old Air America broadcast.

Trump wants to make America Great Again. He’s not ideological. He has business acumen unlike all other politicians and NEGOTIATES to get what he wants.

Don’t get mired in literal interpretation. Helicopter up to 30,000 feet and watch the restoration of America.

Oh no....I mean with Obamacare repealed and/or replaced, Trumps travel-vetting EO passed, and Congress appropriating funds for the Wall....why Trump is getting everything he (and we want).

There....there’s some sarcasm for you.

“Beck supported GOPe candidates”.

I remember his support for jeff the flake.
Perhaps an lds connection??

But he would have been happy with hrc.
Some would throw the baby out with the bathwater

“Illegals down 97%”

Awesome....but we were promised a Wall.

“Job growth at 15 year high.”

Awesome again!...but we were promised that radicalized muslims would be kept out of this country.

“China, Russia both backing off and doing our bidding. Yep, winning Bigly.”

The only thing you’re wrong about. They will NEVER do our bidding unless it furthers their agenda in some way. They may appear to do our bidding, but rest assured they will work against us behind the scenes.

Ok, let us start with you limited knowledge (Or willful ignorance) of what is going on in the House

FC was bragging up the 2015 repeal bill - This bill is TIED by in COMMITTEE - on orders from the RINO Leadership

So WHY are you not calling out the likes of

House Speaker –Rep.Paul Ryan(R‐WI‐1st)

House Majority Leader –Rep.Kevin McCarthy (R‐CA‐23rd)

House Majority Whip –Rep.Steve Scalise(R‐LA‐1st)

House Republican Policy Committee Chair –Rep.Luke Messer(R‐IN‐6th)

House Republican Conference Chair – Rep.Cathy McMorrisRodgers (R‐WA‐5th)

House Republican Conference Vice Chair – Rep.Doug Collins(R‐GA‐9th)

House Republican Conference Secretary –Rep. Jason Smith(R‐MO‐8th)

National Republican Congressional Committee Chair – Rep.Steve Stivers(R‐OH‐15th)

Ways and Means - Houston's own scumbag - Kevin Brady - MR. Cromnybus - We are about to have the FOURTH Monster Budget

If the bill is viable the sale should be easy to make with Trump and all others. It’s not viable, it’s that simple, that is the REALITY.

It’s like people who say “get the government out of HC completely”, ok, that means SSI, Medicaid, medicare, VA, etc. It’s an absolutist position that is not viable. It’s DOA.
