Against the odds, Trump's agenda owned 2017
The Hill ^ | 12/25/17 | Heather R. Higgins

Posted on 12/26/2017 7:21:54 AM PST by x1stcav

The first year of Donald Trump's presidency has, in many ways, been exactly what you would expect: Trump has continued to drive his opponents — and sometimes his allies — batty with his predictable unpredictability, distracting the media and dominating the national conversation, all the while implementing many of the major policy initiatives he promised in his sweep into office.

Political pundits, media elites and pollsters decree that the presidency is on shaky ground. They'll note that the president remains divisive, with record high unfavorable ratings. There’s no way he and the GOP can survive this.

Sound familiar? It’s the same mistake most of them made in 2016. Americans may not always like the “way” President Trump does his job, but they do like a lot of “what” he is doing. Proof is the paucity of polling data and media coverage on many of the popular policy initiatives that put Americans first: job creation, the economy, immigration, national security, fair trade, support for law enforcement and the military, international relations.

The media remains consumed with Trump’s job approval rating while missing the most important metric: what Americans can see with their own eyes. And while the next Congressional election looms 10 months down the road — a lifetime in modern politics — concerned Republicans will have considerable advantages thanks to what Trump accomplished for the American people in 2017.

PostBot is a relatively new app (beta) that allows one a posting/reply presence on FR or other forums when one isn’t able to personally perform in this role.

It also collects/analyses posting/reply data.

You can read more about it here http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/search?m=all;o=time;q=quick;s=postbot and here http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3616955/posts .

I think it’s like sending your camera on a cruise so you don’t have to go yourself.

Would you please explain to me what rule(s) I’m breaking?

Just so I don’t inadvertently cross any future lines.

You are carrying your postbot vanity across threads. And it adds confusion when someone sees you have added ‘Postbot’ to the title.

I don't see the 30 second elevator speech in either of those posts. Can you, in one paragraph, say it in summary but more details than 'allows one a posting/reply presence'?

What is the real world situation we're talking about where somebody is happy they have it vs where they are sad that they don't have it?

What does 'Postbot Status: On' mean has happened?

Thanks!

Check two replies back. The admin mod doesn’t want me posting anything to do with PostBot anymore.

Sorry.

I agree with mods because it sounds intrusive and not on point, but wish you luck.

I don't know anyone or have heard of anyone who regrets voting for Trump.

And.....we all know the truth about this regardless of what the MSM screams daily.

Hardly “against the odds” when Trump himself and his history is figured into the calculation.

“Against the odds”

Uh, whose odds, exactly? Oh, yeah. The fake stream media’s “odds”, the “odds” from the alternate universe they invented and then unsuccessfully tried to assure us was ours.

Trump’s supporters always knew that he would strive with all of us his might to implement as many campaign promises as possible, and that the Congressional majority of GOPe/RINO’s and the corrupt Deep State government would do their damnedest to impede him.

And none of us have ever believed a word of the tsunami of hatred and fake news firehosed out of the fake stream media 24x7x365.

Trump has done what we believed he would do: keep more campaign promises than any candidate in living memory.
