Ha, ha! Trump is loading up his team with establishment players.
Man, many, many of our posters who threw out their "true conservative values" to the wind, to support Trump, are already looking like suckers and it's just beginning! This is going to be great entertainment.
Trump's transition team signals return to GOP establishment
And the hildabitch will never make a supreme court appointment. Mission accomplished.
Trump is not a Republican, never has been, never will be. So I am not real certain what kind of Supreme court nominee you think you'll get out of him. Regardless of his campaign rhetoric-- Today he stated that the Supreme Court is the law of the land-when asked about Gay marriage--meaning he has no intention of going after that or Roe v Wade or anything else that the court has already decided on. Coming from New York, and living in a court room, I doubt you're going to see another conservative justice nominee coming out of Donald Trump.
Obama calls him more pragmatic than an Ideolog. Meaning he's not going to keep the Reich wing of the Republican party that nominated him real happy.
Waa waa waa waa waa ---- you're starting to sound like Charlie Brown's teacher.
In less than one week, Trump has flipped on his core campaign issues, pissing off a lot of his supporters, and it's just going to downhill from here.
Trump announced he is not going to build a "wall"--it will be a fence--LOL If you've ever been to the border there are fences everywhere, many with holes in them the size of trucks. Mexico won't pay for a fence either. He also states tonight that illegals are "terrific--terrific" people, and after the border is secured--they'll decide what to do with the ones here. He campaigned all along on deporting 11 million illegals. Last week he stated that he would only deport illegals in this country that were criminals.
(That's something every President has done.)

OBAMACARE--NEWS FLASH ---Trump is not going to repeal it. After an hour and half meeting with Obama, he's going to keep it, specifically pre-existing conditions, and children being left on their parents plan until they're 26 or 27.
The mandate to have medical insurance will remain intact. So basically nothing is going to change here. Trump couldn't have repealed it anyway, of course his supporters would never understand basic civics.
It took a sitting Democrat President, with a "super majority of Democrats in both houses" to give us Obamacare, and that's the only way to get rid of it. Hopefully they can get the premiums down, but who knows?
Next will be trade: Our trade agreements are written into law, and Republicans have always been very pro-free trade. The North American trade agreement between Canada & Mexico aka NAFTA isn't going away. Mexico is our number 2 buyer of American products. There are Walmarts, McDonalds and every other American corporation that have flooded these countries, so Trump not only has Republicans to deal with on these issues, but some very top level American corporations. Republicans will not approve of tariffs on imported goods, that only raise the price on goods to the American consumer and have never created a single job, and they sure as heck aren't going to impose a 35% tax on American auto makers because they purchasing car parts that were manufactured in another country.
So if you thought those rusted out factories were going to re--open--forget it--those jobs are gone for good. No investors are going to open up factories so they can lose money.
So the Honeymoon is already over. I am seeing it everywhere, major buyer remorse. And one of these protests put a another nail into the Presidency of Donald Trump.
For the first time in this nation's history, the President Elect has had to barricade himself in the Trump Tower, and this doesn't bode well for confidence, as House & Senate Republicans are watching this--and the one thing they will always protect are their own seats FIRST.
Trump may be our first lame duck President before he even gets sworn in. He's made a lot of enemies in congress, and paybacks are HELL.
