DJT is has hands down delivered the best *results* from a President in my life, but I struggle with his “presidentialness” to some degree.
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.
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.
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.
The past two years have been a constant string of winning, and I’m no where near tired of it.
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.
“His positions on immigration bother me sometimes...”
Which ones?
Presidents are like generals
Yeah most people think they want their general have on a pretty brass all spit and polished looking regal Talking profound and elegant
but the reality when you’re in the heat of battle to death ...in juse fine with the guy that curses has blood and mud on his face is not elegant.... but fights to win
pretty is great... but winning is necessary.... This is not a battle with Marcus and queensberry’s rules this is a street fight a dog fight
+1
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.
