I wondered if Barron attended the Statedinner or if he got to view the glitter from his hiding place on the stairs

Hillary Rotten Clinton

Very good....if you don't mind, I'll follow your lead. Only I refuse to capitalize her first name. I haven't done so since she enabled her husband's horrific WH behavior.

I agree.

The most important thing she brings to the table is a positive attitude and the realization that she doesn’t need to be puffed up and demanding. She will get what she wants by acting like a very nice human being. People will flock to her and bend over backwards to be helpful.

She is building here legacy by being the ultimate example of selflessness. Statues will follow. Memorials will follow. Schools and institutes being named will follow. What’s more, she will deserve it.

She does not see herself as co-president. She won’t be rude and insulting to the White House staff. She will not train her son to grow up to hate the military. She won’t order people around angrily. She is setting an example not only for Barron, but for the nation.

She cares for the nation in much the same way she cares for Barron.

For the time being, she is the mother of the nation.

Leading by example, she will encourage us all to be our best selves.

* * * * *

I am once again reflecting on the reality that she could have every right to be angry right now. You don’t see it.

It’s not important to her that she be seen winning the upper hand in a marital spat. She realizes her role right now is too important to waste energy on that sort of thing.

She wont trash the Donald in public. She won’t address the situation. She is not just standing by her man, whether she really is or not (we don’t know), but she is steadfastly standing by the nation.

She realizes we need a strong positive steady hand from our First Lady. She realizes that with his faults, our president needs her to be supportive. No, I don’t gift him a free pass, so this is about priorities for the nation.

She has her head glued on straight. She has been perfect to this point. I suspect I’ll be saying the same think in late January 2021.

* * * * *

I would like to take a moment to mention this. Models take a pretty tough hit when it comes to intelligence and moral character.

If there’s anyone who could have done a better job than Melania is doing right now, I don’t know who they might be.

We may want to rethink our views of people in some professions.

You might be too young to remember “let Reagan be Reagan”. Deep state was a thing back then too.

Vicious degenerate scum leftist media do everything they can to blacken the reputation and Trump and Melania.

For Moochelle: pandering, butt-kissing, soft questions in adoring ingerviews for extremely favorable puff pieces.

For Melania: anything they can do to hurt her, despite being innocent.

Take names, friends.

She has a Renoir on the wall. Not my taste, but impressive all the same. Good thing they will have SS protection for the rest of their lives.

Thanks! Reagan was the first President I voted for. But those were my college years, so I wasn’t reading the papers or watching the news.

From the interwebs:

In 1982 and ’83, in the Reagan White House, the more politically minded Manafort side was represented by Chief of Staff James Baker. Meanwhile, National Security Adviser William P. Clark was the Lewandowski of the situation, whose approach was at the time summed up with four simple words: “let Reagan be Reagan.” In general, “being Reagan” meant adherence to the President’s harder-line “raw, conservative instincts,” as TIME put it.

Originated as ‘Let Nixon be Nixon’.

Barron comes first for the next six years no matter what. Very refreshing to see and a great example!

That's what I originally thought and googled it - but nothing came up. See my post 34 with regard to Reagan. Although I'm sure it has been applied to numerous presidents.

Okay - who can we rule out the saying to apply to?

“Let Clinton be Clinton!” Arkancides and rapes increase in D.C.

“Let obama be obama!” Wednesday is gay orgy night at the White House.

“Let Hillary be Hillary”

Actually, after hearing some of the Nixon tapes, I'm guessing that it probably wouldn't have been a good idea to have the private views of Nixon on display in public. While he was probably correct in a lot of his views - he could be pretty coarse.

Yes, I’d have to agree with that. As matters pertain to him.

Adult matters, the nations comes first.
