Nolte: Trump's Wildly Successful First Year Again Exposes #NeverTrump as Amoral Saboteurs

Remember these names: Jonah Goldberg, David Frum, Bill Kristol, Rich Lowry, Max Boot, Mitt Romney, John Kasich, Joe Scarborough, Jeff Flake, Ben Sasse, Jennifer Rubin, George Will, Josh Jordan, Tom Nichols, Charles Cooke, Stephen Hayes, Tim Miller, John Podhoretz, Nicole Wallace, Steven Schmidt, Bret Stephens, Ross Douthat, Leon Wolf, David Brooks, Rick Wilson, Evan McMullin, Stuart Stevens, Red State, National Review, theWeekly Standard…
These are the so-called conservative men, women, and institutions who (among others) fought the hardest to sabotage Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, all in the unforgivable hope that Hillary Clinton would become president.

These are so-called conservatives who have, for nearly two years now, been promoting themselves and fundraising by smearing Trump as incompetent and “not a real conservative,” as a “Democrat in sheep’s clothing” — when, in fact, all of that best describes #NeverTrump.

These are the so-called conservatives who — after Trump’s first year in office — have now been proven as wrong as wrong can be. If their conservative credentials lost all credibility during a 2016 campaign during which they used whatever residual influence they had to hand the Oval Office to Clinton, the proven results of the past year should mean that they are written off forever as idiots, quacks, mercenaries, and con men.


Trump has had, in my opinion, the most successful first year of any president since Ronald Reagan. And not just a consequential first year that has already built a legacy, but a conservative first year. Below, I do my best to list these accomplishments, but there are so many, forgive me if a few are missed:

• Real, honest-to-goodness tax reform and cuts — the most consequential in 30 years.
• Opening ANWR for oil exploration, an accomplishment few can appreciate who do not remember the 90s and what a sacred cow this is for the left.
• Killing the Obamacare mandate that brutalized those making less than $50,000 a year.
• The Islamic State (ISIS) has been decimated.
• After a 2016 of just 1.9 percent GDP growth, we have now had two quarters in a row of growth over three percent; predictions for the final quarter of 2017 are as high as four percent.
• Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch, who has already proven himself the perfect replacement for Justice Antonin Scalia.
• The Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines are a go — which means tens of thousands of jobs.
• A record number of judicial appointments on the appeals courts.
• The end of the War on Coal.
• A surge in coal mining after 2016’s decline.
• The end of the federal government’s violating the religious conscience through indefensible Obamacare mandates involving birth control and abortion pills.
• The civil rights movement for school choice is getting the green light throughout the country.
• Illegal immigration is way down.
• The stock market hit record highs 70 times in 2017, rising 5,000 points for the first time ever.
• The long-overdue recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
• We are free of the awful Paris climate treaty.
• Regulatory reform that is just getting started, but it has already had a hugely positive effect on our economy.
• Withdrawal from the Global Compact on Migration, which undercut American sovereignty.
• Return of nearly two million acres to the state Utah that the federal government had stolen.
• A $250 billion trade deal with China.
• Many of our NATO allies are finally paying their dues.
• Consumer confidence is the best we have seen in more than a decade.
• Pulled us out of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) in favor of the American worker and sovereignty.
• Trump has managed to get China to help rein in North Korea.
• Black unemployment is at a 17-year low.
• Hispanic unemployment is at an all-time low.
• Overall unemployment is at one percent.
• Manufacturing jobs boom.
• Standing up for persecuted Christian minorities in the Middle East.
• Promoting Christmas.
• Banning or demanding stronger vetting from countries most likely to import terrorists.
• Housing sales are at an 11-year high.
• Ban on transgender military recruits.

Now, you need to close your eyes and imagine what the list above would look like had #NeverTrump won the day and made Hillary Clinton president.

Now, try to imagine any one of the 16 Republicans who competed for the 2016 nomination accomplishing all of this, or even having the courage to stand up to a media onslaught to accomplish all of this, or even being, yes, conservative enough to do things like pull us out of the Paris climate agreement (something the Republican establishment’s failed 2012 nominee, Mitt Romney, opposes).

Trump’s conservatism, his competence, his willingness to stand up to gale force media hate to keep his promises, is unlike anything we have seen since 1981.

Well, 55% oppose the bill according to some polls, but then again ask President Hillary Clinton how accurate those polls are.

Yeah, and that has to be kept in mind. Plus, I hear the GOP is gearing up to sell this thing nationally, so we'll see. Plus, even better, you have Mac expecting a Democratic wave election in 2018, which, given my track record with elections and football scores, probably bodes well for the GOP.

Why are so many people opposed to letting Americans keep more of their own money?

Because they think too much of the benefits of it are going to the wealthy. Interesting piece here: Why is the GOP Tax Bill So Unpopular? Maybe It’s All Relative. - This country is reaching a social tipping point on wealth inequality, and the GOP somehow doesn't see it. Ideology blinds.

And if so many Dimocrats dont like what got past, they have only their own legislators to blame for that, who had every opportunity to engage in the legislative process and get something for their constituents, but instead decided somehow it would be smarter to continue the Never Accept Trump by Working With him Resistance.

Well, that's precisely what the GOP did with the ACA, and here we are. People are sick of THAT shit, TOO.

[Harpy Eagle]

This list is as lame as all the list the Obama faithful used to put out all the time.

Simply amazing how being a partisan hack takes away enough of the brain that even words like accomplishment has no meaning.

Yeah.........it's all Bull Shit.

Oh, and I guess pointing stuff out, or better yet snapping everyone back to reality instead of reacting negatively about everything must mean you're a partisan hack.

No. I still have a brain so I cannot be a partisan hack, not to mention I have no party to hack to

Well, it's a fact that even the retarded think they're smart.

Very true, you prove that with each post on here

The bankruptcy of high SALT blue states will be needed to fund the jail cells needed for mass deportation and that is not a predictable event.

Deportations are federal so it will be federal dollars spent, not state. I forgot to mention that of those 81 actions by rumpy none will be of benefit to Americans.

Deportations are federal

of course using the money saved by eliminating salt deductions

--LOL

Just so happens that the first year Trump is president the stock market:

- Makes a record high.
- Makes a record amount of record highs.
- For the first time is up every month of the year.

Coincidence! And all this happens when interest rates are being raised.

We have a winner.

 

[Mac1958]

And Trump isn't playing to his base. He's doing what anyone with any common-sense would know is right.

What's good for me is also good for you......you just haven't figured it out yet.

Well, I know how partisan politics works - "We know what's best for the country, we're smarter than you, we know what's best for you, so we're gonna cram it straight down your throat every chance we get".

All that leads to is wild swings back and forth at the ballot box. The narcissism displayed by both ends of the spectrum is repellent, and people vote against repellent.

You're speaking in generalities rather than specifics.
Also, you're no better than those you condemn because you aren't willing to do any research.
You simply paint everyone with the same wide brush purely out of your inherent apathy.
It's amounts to the superficial argument that says you're the only person in the crowd who is enlightened and everyone else is full of crap.

The tax bill is very unpopular. Americans just aren't buying it.

At the same time, the GOP is trying to make it into the greatest thing in the history of historical histories because they have to. Especially after the ACA debacle.

So, for the zillionth time, a party has comically over-interpreted its "mandate" and gone too far in obedient obsession with its ideology.

We know what most likely comes next.
.

Yep, we know what's coming, more MSM propaganda and regressive lies. Hell yes the bulk of the cuts are going to the more well to do, they pay the bulk of the taxes.

Sorry, but we've gone over this.
Your problem is you simply refuse to believe what doesn't fit your fence sitting ideological beliefs....or the lack thereof.

Maybe going to a library and looking up economics 101 for starters.Then ask yourself why a Socialist party like the Democrat Party has anything to offer a Capitalists society like ours. What motivates them. Why don't you think that people who celebrate Mao and Stalin have anything but chaos and destruction in mind for our economy. Too extreme for your moderate sensibilities? Well, fact is, this is one aspect they count on. The fact that people who don't seem to have a horse in the race sit idle while they carry out their plans.

Funny how similar the two ends are. You both know what's best for me.

And the economy, markets and investing are my profession. I have to take it seriously, so I can't get my "opinions" from talk radio and winger websites.

Democrats can't acknowledge any Trump accomplishments. They've chosen the hateful 'Party before Country route. But clearly, Trump had a great first year in office. He's done all i've asked of him.

 

[Fang]

A rebound in economic confidence to a 17-year high.

lol, Trump didn't do that.

Yes it is Trump. Given Obama had to work with a Republican House in 2011 and a Republican Senate in 2015 it sure as heck wasn't any of his policies. You can thank Republicans. Trump's election added rocket fuel to the economy.

Trump was right about one thing (well, he was right about a lot of things), I am getting tired of winning!
