We’ve had decades (except 1980-1988) of ‘professional’ politicians that look good, smell good and talk good driving our Republic towards tyranny and America towards mediocrity. That culminated in the eight years prior to this presidency.

The world is better with a strong America.

The nation needed a brawler who expects more and gets things done. I only hope 8 years is enough time to bring more reinforcements to the front lines (running for office).

the “Silent Trump Supporter” — Trump voters who would not reveal their true sympathies to pollsters.

Nonsense. Trump voters were not "silent." Look how many of them turned out at rally after rally after rally in city after city after city in state after state after state.

The truth is that pollsters over-sampled Clinton voters, making it look like Trump was behind.

Doesn't anyone remember how Reuters/Ipsos changed their methodology once Trump took the polling lead, in order to report Clinton winning again?

Trump frequently takes positive positions on legislation that is at odds with his campaign promises. He does so to expose the fact that the Democrats and Rino’s do not desire solutions to the problems of their creation.

There is also the benefit of watching them recoil like vampires from the cross when he offers them more than they asked for.

“DJT is has hands down delivered the best *results* from a President in my life, but I struggle with his “presidentialness” to some degree.”

His lack of”political polish” is something I love about him.

“If his execution were combined with Reagan’s statesmanship and poise, I have no doubt he’d be up 15 points in the polls right now.”

Statesmanship and Poise are past their use by date.
The barbarians are crashing the gate and slipping over the wall.
The times call for a street fighter and thats what we got.

“What we need is an old horse soldier to whip this army into shape.”

“Patton sir?”

“Maybe.”

“God help us sir.”

And haven’t we learned to take polls with a ton of salt?

“One thing that worries me is that Trump is particularly polarizing to the women in my sphere. While there are certainly exceptions, he seems to trigger even right-leaning women with alarming consistency.”

Don’t worry.
Once women see their families doing better under the Trump administration they will know how to vote.

“His positions on immigration bother me sometimes, but I’m never sure if he’s supporting legislation he knows in advance will fail to paint a more moderate picture or not.”

We are seeing The Art Of The Deal gone international.

“The past two years have been a constant string of winning, and I’m no where near tired of it.”

Winning can be fun!
Who knew!

“I maintain that a large swath of voters pull the lever based on likeability alone, however, and the potential to gain support among those voters who really don’t understand the issues driving their political leanings and would throw in with Oprah because “she’s nice” is being squandered.”

There are always those types of voters.
Cater to them and lose part of your base.
President Trump is doing just fine with Right and Center and his economic policies are gathering the moderate dems as well as legal immigrants and blacks.

As far as Oprah, I don’t think she wants her life thrown under the intense microscope that President Trump would subject her to.
The man who brought Slick Willie’s victims to the debate wouldn’t think twice about combing Oprahs life to a fare thee well.
I think there are plenty of skeletons in the Winfrey closet.

Plus we have already had a black president so the race card is invalid and Hillary tore up the gender card.

Red Hen is closed until July 6, a week from today.

Hopefully they’ll get an ear full when they return.
