I told the wife. Trump lost re-election on 18 December.

[U2Edge]

I told her why. I’ll give you the shorter version. Between the wall, and the bump stocks, on top of the behavior of Trump, re-election is now just not possible.

When a President has an Idea, that is a good thing usually. But that idea has to be worked out before it is presented to the public. Lawyers have to examine it to see if it is legal. If it affects anything international, it has to be considered by the State Deparment to see if it violates any Treaties, Agreemets, or Understandings. In other words, it takes time to present the idea to the public. It isn’t done in a Tweet at 3AM, as the President has the flash of an idea.

This makes the International Community nervous. It makes the business environment nervous, and it makes people nervous. Because they don’t know what brainstorm the President is going to have that will upset the apple cart in the middle of the night. That is why you have a Chief Of Staff, and a staff in general. You talk to them, to find out what is politically possible. Politics is the art of the Possible.

You don’t make definitive statements like “I’m going to Veto this bill if it doesn’t fund the wall.” You don’t make them because you can’t walk it back and look like anything but a loser. When you do walk it back, or give up on it, then whatever political capital you have built up is gone.

You don’t follow it up with more money than the wall would have cost, paid to the nations where the illegal immigrants are coming from, to hopefully encourage them to stay there. US pledges $10.6B aid for Central America, southern Mexico

The cost of Illegal Immigration this year, starts at at least ten billion dollars. It can’t be viewed as anything but a loss to Trump. Because he folded days before the deadline.

If you make something a central issue to your administration, and you credit it with your election, you can’t just abandon it and hope the voters will still turn out because they still support you. We have enough experience with lying politicians not to be impressed by one more.

If Trump runs, and wins the Nomination, he will lose the General, and the reason why is December 18th 2018. That was the day he lost.

Its far more likely Trump won't be running for anything in 2020. He'll probably resign and get a pardon for his crimes from Pence. Its the best way to get back to his old life and leave all his legal troubles behind.

You sound bitter.
I'm glad we're sending 10B to Central America--there are only two ways to actually end this immigration crisis: (1) Start throwing employers of illegals in jail and throw away the key and (2) work with the Central American countries that are so dysfunctional that people are running away in droves. The governments of those countries probably don't like that anymore than we like them coming here by the thousands, but they haven't been able to get a handle on it.
Let's hope the funds we send are very carefully spent on exactly what they should be.

If history is any indication of future results, all the leaders of those Central American nations will have Swiss Bank Accounts with the money we paid them for their people. That is what almost always happens. If a leader is relatively honest, then those below him get rich. The people still get diddly squat.

Ecuador faces a huge budget deficit because of loans it received from China

Trump said Mexico would pay for the wall. Now we are paying Mexico enough to build the wall in the hopes that this time the flood of money will do some good.

Sure, it never has before, but hey, 56th time is the charm.

Nope. The surest way for Trump to sail thru with no legal issues is to win in 2020 considering the "statute of limitations".

Well let me set your record straight. I’ve said this many times. But let me repeat it again in hope of winning the certification of the Department of Redundancy Department.

The very first time I voted Republican was for Trump. I voted a straight Republican ticket because I was not going to vote for Hillary, and then with the exposure of the shenanigans of the DNC to insure that Hillary was Annointed, I voted the straight Republican Ticket.

Every election for me has been the lesser of two evils. Do I risk my support for the 2nd Amendment or do I risk further abuses by Law Enforcement thugs. Decisions, decisions. This last time, I voted Republican and sure enough, ten seconds after being sworn in they ended the compliance actions against the Police Departments that were regularly violating the Constitution.

You see, the entirety of the Bill of Rights matters to me. I would argue just as loudly to support the 6th Amendment as I do the 2nd.

The wife agrees. Especially when the Congress could find ten billion to pay to Central America and Mexico but not five billion for the wall. We’ve gone from Mexico will pay for it, to we’ll pay Mexico twice that to keep from putting up something that won’t look good.

What you fail to understand it, the bar is sooo low that Trump only has to do two things to be a better President than any other in the last 50 years.

He just needs to improve the economy and not start a war

The only question becomes, can the press generate enough, "We hate Orange Man" derangement syndrome to overcome these positive outcomes?

 

[airplanemechanic]

I disagree. In order to win again, Trump has to essentially win all the states he had before. The Rustbelt are still not being courted by Democrats, and if any show up,, they merely lecture the people on how stupid they were to vote Trump. Yet, the people there won’t stand by Trump in the numbers before, the numbers needed, if he doesn’t start living up to some of his campaign promises.

[Thinker101]

I told her why. I’ll give you the shorter version. Between the wall, and the bump stocks, on top of the behavior of Trump, re-election is now just not possible.

When a President has an Idea, that is a good thing usually. But that idea has to be worked out before it is presented to the public. Lawyers have to examine it to see if it is legal. If it affects anything international, it has to be considered by the State Deparment to see if it violates any Treaties, Agreemets, or Understandings. In other words, it takes time to present the idea to the public. It isn’t done in a Tweet at 3AM, as the President has the flash of an idea.

This makes the International Community nervous. It makes the business environment nervous, and it makes people nervous. Because they don’t know what brainstorm the President is going to have that will upset the apple cart in the middle of the night. That is why you have a Chief Of Staff, and a staff in general. You talk to them, to find out what is politically possible. Politics is the art of the Possible.

You don’t make definitive statements like “I’m going to Veto this bill if it doesn’t fund the wall.” You don’t make them because you can’t walk it back and look like anything but a loser. When you do walk it back, or give up on it, then whatever political capital you have built up is gone.

You don’t follow it up with more money than the wall would have cost, paid to the nations where the illegal immigrants are coming from, to hopefully encourage them to stay there. US pledges $10.6B aid for Central America, southern Mexico

The cost of Illegal Immigration this year, starts at at least ten billion dollars. It can’t be viewed as anything but a loss to Trump. Because he folded days before the deadline.

If you make something a central issue to your administration, and you credit it with your election, you can’t just abandon it and hope the voters will still turn out because they still support you. We have enough experience with lying politicians not to be impressed by one more.

If Trump runs, and wins the Nomination, he will lose the General, and the reason why is December 18th 2018. That was the day he lost.

You sound bitter.
I'm glad we're sending 10B to Central America--there are only two ways to actually end this immigration crisis: (1) Start throwing employers of illegals in jail and throw away the key and (2) work with the Central American countries that are so dysfunctional that people are running away in droves. The governments of those countries probably don't like that anymore than we like them coming here by the thousands, but they haven't been able to get a handle on it.
Let's hope the funds we send are very carefully spent on exactly what they should be.

Sure, dysfunctional countries are guaranteed to spend the money wisely.

taking away my bumpstock, giving money to mexico, and not building the wall will certainly erode his base.

You don’t make definitive statements like “I’m going to Veto this bill if it doesn’t fund the wall.” You don’t make them because you can’t walk it back and look like anything but a loser. When you do walk it back, or give up on it, then whatever political capital you have built up is gone.

You don’t follow it up with more money than the wall would have cost, paid to the nations where the illegal immigrants are coming from, to hopefully encourage them to stay there. US pledges $10.6B aid for Central America, southern Mexico

The cost of Illegal Immigration this year, starts at at least ten billion dollars. It can’t be viewed as anything but a loss to Trump. Because he folded days before the deadline.

If you make something a central issue to your administration, and you credit it with your election, you can’t just abandon it and hope the voters will still turn out because they still support you. We have enough experience with lying politicians not to be impressed by one more.

If Trump runs, and wins the Nomination, he will lose the General, and the reason why is December 18th 2018. That was the day he lost.

Trump will easily be elected because it will piss off the libs...

And nothing is more important to our country than pissing off libs

I told her why. I’ll give you the shorter version. Between the wall, and the bump stocks, on top of the behavior of Trump, re-election is now just not possible.

When a President has an Idea, that is a good thing usually. But that idea has to be worked out before it is presented to the public. Lawyers have to examine it to see if it is legal. If it affects anything international, it has to be considered by the State Deparment to see if it violates any Treaties, Agreemets, or Understandings. In other words, it takes time to present the idea to the public. It isn’t done in a Tweet at 3AM, as the President has the flash of an idea.

This makes the International Community nervous. It makes the business environment nervous, and it makes people nervous.

Your guy never had any fine capital plans. Trade wars, gun boat diplomacy and talking smack to all of our allies is not Capitalism.

You sound bitter.
I'm glad we're sending 10B to Central America--there are only two ways to actually end this immigration crisis: (1) Start throwing employers of illegals in jail and throw away the key and (2) work with the Central American countries that are so dysfunctional that people are running away in droves. The governments of those countries probably don't like that anymore than we like them coming here by the thousands, but they haven't been able to get a handle on it.
Let's hope the funds we send are very carefully spent on exactly what they should be.

Lol
Now that’s a fucking joke funds spent on what they’re supposed to be spent on by the federal government, that’s the best joke I’ve heard all day
