Will Trump Be the Last Republican President ?
American Thinker ^ | 11/12/18 | Brian C Joondeph

Posted on 11/12/2018 4:45:58 PM PST by chiller

I believe that Donald Trump will be the last Republican president many of us will ever see in our lifetimes. We hope that he will serve two terms, but even that is not a given, despite his popularity both personally and of his MAGA agenda. I’ll call it the three D’s, in honor of Trump’s first name Donald – demeanor, demographics, and deception. (snip)...In other words, Trump is a one-off, an exception. Unlike Obama, Trump is the one we have been waiting for, after a string of wet noodles named Bush, Romney, McCain, and Ryan to name a few. But the Republican bench is thin. Who is the heir apparent? I don’t see anyone with the charisma, fire in the belly, energy, and commitment to conservative principles and values.

I hate to say it but the Left is more committed than we are and the politicians they elect PLAY TO WIN. They are aggressive and determined in ways that we are not. Therein lies our key weakness. We turn the other cheek too much.

Well Said.

And we pretend we won when clearly we lost, there is no good side to this insulting defeat that the Ryan House gave us.

Positive thoughts is what got us here. I was positive a cardboard cutout could beat Obama's 2nd term, our guy was crushed. That should have been a wake up instead wee called it a victory.

I doubted Trump could be hard enough when he let some cr@p judge in Hawaii shut him down. He has the authority alone to shut down all immigration, so do it no one else can. He alone can close the border to all traffic so close it. Get rid off all the swamp dwellers in your cabinet including your daughter.

Odd how they ignore all the races we won like

Bragging about victories that should have been 10 to 20 point wins turn out to 1 point or less.

If these snowflakes are unemployed long enough, they’ll vote for change.

If it goes that far I doubt there will be any voting.

You have a rather eccentric sense of humor...

I, too, would like to know why it is funny.

That is how I learned about total war and the necessary dedication to providing no quarter in times of extreme crisis.

Didn't learn anything from Sherman?

Now of course, some Red Diaper Babies were already at work longer ago than that, but that was just the vanguard sowing the seeds.

I believe the correct version is Red Diaper Doper Babies.

It is past time for some Freepers to look into John Dewey the founder of our educational strategy, Commie to the core.

You don't want to take THE LAWS OF THIS NATION INTO ACCOUNT; that is YOUR problem!

The fact that you think the law matters astounds me. Under what law does Hillary get a free pass? Billions in their charity and no one audits them because they want the same deal.

We send immoral people to enforce our laws and some how they exempt them selves from the same laws we have to obey.

If there is no law, there is no law.

The factthere is no law means the progressives can be destroyed outright

I know what our government states is the LAWS, vis-a-vis eligibility;

This likely will be adjudicated when the Anchor Baby issue comes to a head, if it comes to a head, Trump has been very mushy on the issue.

Maybe we could let Russia vote absentee, makes more sense than letting Mexico vote here.

The damned lefty judges won't even allow hi to do what he's LEGALLY allowed

Did you read this sentence?

If he is legally allowed how does a lefty judge stop him?

The answer to that is easy lefty judges make up their own laws even if it is legal they DEEM it illegal and DRAG it through the entire court system!!!

the moaners & whingers who believe that THE SKY IS FALLING, at the slightest glitch.

Calling a defeat a victory causes us to not prepare for the right battle, right now you seem prepared to just celebrate.

Samson woke to find his powers had left him, so he decided he could just go out and shake himself, that would frighten the enemy away. I think we recall how that strategy played out.

SEABEES

The Duke never played an engineer but he did play a seabee.(:-) I have no clue why they couldn't use both, just do it.

There will be no money authorized for a wall or any thing that resembles immigration reform that does not legalizes all illegals, that is how bad this election was.

By the way the Constitution specifically made the founders NBC and described what that meant, maybe you should read it.

The answer to that is easy

yes it is and the way to handle it is declare the Judge has no authority in the matter, then tell the Judge to take him to court.

and these days, driving drunk can get you a felony record, could be republicans as just as much democrats,
=============

Or a host of other things. There was a guy in the Keys who was washing his truck with the wrong chemicals (some type of soap) that was charged with a felony.

People seem to confuse the terms "career criminal" with "felon" and they're not equal

It's not right, it's not fair, it's not smart.

I don’t know how the law reads exactly in Florida

But I have no problem with ex felons given back their right to vote after 5 years of imprisonment, parole or probation. That would eliminate career criminals

No voting from prison, parole or probation

That way the guy that used the wrong soap to wash his truck, isn’t going to be punished for the rest of his life.

I'm no lawyer but I have looked into it.

Basically any out of state conviction was not an issue.

Then it got murky with 3 to 9 year waiting periods to be able to ASK to get the right back.

People don't realize that a felony conviction can make you lose a professional license for life, hence your ability to make a living is lost.

FL regulates and licenses many, many professions, I can't list them all but it's a lot.
