    Well, we should just be happy that Warhawk Clinton didn't win the election. Phew! We dodged a bullet with that one, that's for sure.

    I love easy questions

    The Wall, and Mexico will pay for it (one way or the other, that's in the details who cares)

    Repeal and replacing Obamacare, the ACA, or Welfare for have nots whatever you want to call that debacle

    Getting along with Putin, and here is a novel idea to address their hacking of our computers, shore up the cyber security, duhh

    Crushing ISIS

    Bringing jobs back to America

    and drum roll, #1 on my list is appointing a Supreme Court Justice, or two, or three hopefully that will enforce the constitution rather than try to reinterpret it

    Any more questions?

    And...all the liberal media were wrong when they said that Trump would never win. But, they are still going on with their losing narrative against Trump, CNN is the worse. If there is one dissenting voice on CNN, they are interrupted repeatedly and told off by the host. It never changes, it is unprecedented. They hate the truth. GM and Walmart are already announcing moving jobs back to the U.S. today. You will never hear that from the liberals unless they spin it into a lie. Positive things are already happening for America, and the Donald has not even taken office yet.:cool:

    I know! Could the media have been any more wrong with their polls? Good grief. Lol. Must have been a great shock to the liberals when states starting reporting their results.

    Let's hope that more businesses move back jobs at least and that they will stay here in the USA.

    Wimps? I thought liberals were EVIL bullies who've done nothing but insult/assault the little snowflake Trump supporters? You guys need to get your talking points in order.

    LOL, loaded (have you stopped beating your wife) OP and loaded poll questions... anyway:

    -I support Trump's willingness to tackle the illegal immigration issue and I could not care less if he builds the wall or finds other/better ways to solve it
    -I support Trump's pro-working people pro-America, pro-jobs positions and I could not care less if he applies tariffs or find other/better ways to bring the jobs back.
    -I support Trump's position on muslim immigration and extreme vetting, regardless of how it's implemented
    -I support Trump's position on horrible trade deals and I could not care less if he renegotiates them in favor of the American people or rips them up
    -I support Trump's position on NATO and I agree that NATO members are cheating, they either need to pay their fair share or fend for themselves.
    -I support Trump's position on moving the Israeli embassy to Jerusalem
    -I support Trump's position on defunding the UN
    -I support Trump's America-first views
    -I support Trump's position on dealing with ISIS swiftly and decisively
    -I support Trump's position on Brexit
    .....

    PS I don't share Trump's infatuation with Russia and Putin though.

    You should have a better understanding of your own ilk. Of course there are the infamous "safe space" liberals on college campuses. You know, legions that recently got front page coverage throughout the country. So many have been so severely traumatized that they captured the national spotlight. Really, it's been all over the news. :roll:

    And then there are the "Evil" liberals of which you speak. You know, the ones who are so intolerant of opposing thought and working with others that they would happily eat one of their own:

    http://www.bet.com/celebrities/news/2017/01/17/steve-harvey-donald-trump.html

    Don't you feel proud being part of such a "progressive" group?? Congratulations.

    Who cares? There are losers on all sides. Most people who identify as liberals don't give a crap about "safe spaces". That's just a parroted right wing talking point shoved down the throats of their low information constituency.


    Heh, considering how those on the right threw Chris Christie to the wolves after he DARED to hug Obama, and DARED to give him any type of praise, I'm not sure you should be pointing the trembling finger at others for being "intolerant" of opposing thought.

    Absolutely. Although there are plenty of issues I disagree with progressives with, the progressive ideology always wins, and has been responsible for plenty of good throughout this countries history.

    Who cares? you obviously do. You've been referencing "safe spaces" all over PF. That's why it's important for you to understand the safe space phenomena. At the college level, thousands of liberal students throughout the country have protested to demand their creation. Reality is too frightening, and something has to be done. College Presidents have quickly acquiesced in fear of losing their jobs. Far more liberals "give a crap" than you're owning up to. That's a fact.

    Christie is a political opportunist who would sell his first born if it would get him to higher political office. He hugged Obama for a photo op. Nothing more and nothing less. There is no political equivalence to the good intentions in which Steve Harvey met with Trump. Intentions that go to finding solutions to inner city problems that have been ignored by the left for decades. Besides, Harvey is just one example. The intolerance of the left in threatening performers who dare to agree to perform at Trump's inauguration is seriously troubling. It goes to an intolerance that stops at nothing to protect the progressive agenda.

    You'd better look at the political map in this country before proclaiming "progressive ideology" always wins. Given the massive bleeding of democratic political office holders at all levels of government during Obama's presidency, reality says your wrong. Very wrong. Understanding why is the key for any chance of your side turning things around in the future.

    Heh, I reference a lot of things on this forum in an attempt to mock Trump's low information supporters. Stuff like "safe spaces" and "snow flakes" and other sorts of right wing drivel is popular among right wing circles, the same circles that are STILL thoroughly convinced that Obama is a foreign born muslim AND an anti-white racist to boot.


    The hypocrisy of this post is amusing. Christie is a political opportunist, but Trump isn't? Your new president spent the majority of his 70 years of life supporting liberal positions up until around 2011 when he decided to run for the presidency on the GOP side, around the EXACT same time he "coincidentally" became a birther to pander to GOP voters who loathe Obama. Trump is the very definition of a political opportunist. Less than ten damn years ago your new president was singing praises for Hillary Clinton, the same woman he told his supporters he would "lock up!" (which he then quickly backtracked on once elected). So don't give me that crap about "opportunist" when Trump is the biggest opportunistic SOB imaginable.

    I'd say you guys need to get your talking points in order. I mean for the past few years you guys have been proclaiming that the GOP is infested with "RINO's", meaning politicians you claim are really progressives pretending to be conservatives, and now suddenly because you put them back in office, they are conservative champions who defeated the progressive ideology? Come on.

    BTW, one election cycle doesn't disprove what I said. The progressive ideology ultimately always wins out. There are numerous examples throughout American history to prove this. Conservatism never wins, and never will. And since you guys never elect conservative politicians any way, even in 2016 bypassing conservatives such as Ted Cruz for a big government Liberal like Trump, you guys basically have no right to call yourselves conservatives in the first place.

    The memes that are issued by the right wing media entertainers are faithfully parroted by the cultists. Their being obsessed with ubiquitous, nebulous "Liberals!" is the dominant bĂȘte noire they have been issued.

    Personally, I support Trump's vows to protect Social Security and provide all Americans with quality health insurance. I would enthusiastically support his fulfilling those promises over his assurance that he will release his tax returns.

    I don't have the time to respond with everything I'd like to say but in a nutshell...

    I support his stopping from flooding our Country full of terrorists, I know the left love terrorists but it has to end.

    I support his draining the swamp, the term limits to stop the career politician's greedy SOP on both sides.

    I support his fixing the border and stop flooding us with anyone and everyone that can walk into the US and be treated better than our vets. I know the left love Mexicans for their votes but the tax payer is being destroyed by the lefts policy to gain more votes. The left couldn't care less about Mexican people, its just votes and obvious...

    ... stopping the lawless EPA from crippling businesses. Of course I know we need regulations, I fish and hunt so want nothing more than clean waters and environment but over regulation is about revenue and political power.

    ... tax reform.

    ... dumping the nightmare of Obozo-Care - Remember when Barry said the right wouldn't call it Obozo-care if it worked and seems he is the one that stopped calling it his care lmfao.

    ... destroying political correctness.

    ... support of law enforcement, military, rebuilding the military, love for America, keeping large companies in the US keeping jobs,

    The list goes on and on. While Barry focused on dividing the races and making thugs the good guys and cops the bad guys, running up debt, feminizing men, basically following the communist manifesto through the rules of radicals, the communist playbook for crippling a nation. We now have a man that believes America is the greatest nation on earth and plans to fix Barry's mess and I know that infuriates the left as they believe the US is the problem, Trump knows we are the solution and you all despise everything a man like him stands for, Americans.

    For Trump Supporters (not voters) the options in this thread are pretty limited. It's either selecting everything he said or other, I'll explain

    But whichever one you select, the explanation behind it boils back down to the same concept.
    You're voting for Trump the man, his personality and his track record of getting things done and telling you what's on his mind while he's doing it.

    In my case... I can't vote for Trump but I support him.
    I selected everything he says - because that's the most direct way of understanding his policy positions,where he wants to take the country and what he's thinking about events that unfold on a day-to-day basis.
    And guess what? Trump's thinking the same thing that millions of average Americans are thinking - which is kind of refreshing when you think about it.... A President that feels the same way you feel.
    What many people in the media get caught up in is taking him literally and not seriously - while all of his supporters take him seriously but not literally. It's puzzling why the media keeps attempting to box in Trump into specific soundbites instead of listening to..... wait for it...... Everything he says.

    And that's my argument

    Great. You're attempting to master one of Trump's most effective tools to get attention -- saying ridiculous things that are gross exaggerations (or even false) to get noticed. Congratulations. Maybe thinking about that will advance your understanding of his methods.

    Hijack noted. There is no hypocrisy at all. My reference was to Steve Harvey being burned at the stake for daring to meet with Trump and discuss serious inner city solutions. He had no political agenda other than to do something positive. His reward? The progressive left blistered and ostracized him. We can go on a talk about the left wing death threats Jennifer Holliday received for considering performing at the inauguration, but it shouldn't be necessary.

    Christie is a narcissist who publicly meet with Obama to pander to the cameras for a national photo op. He wasn't trying to make the country a better place. His bigger sin was pulling this stunt right before the election and cutting Romney off at the knees. Of course the right was angry. Christie could have met with Obama privately or made a phone call. If you're going to make reaches of political equivalencies, do some research first.

    The reality of the present disproves what you said. I'll leave projections for the future to palm readers and other psychics. The fact is that the Democrat party has been losing Governors and state seats continuously over the past 8 years. You just lost the Senate and the Presidency. It can (and probably will) shift back and forth in the future, but you're statement that progressive ideology always wins out isn't really true. We're about to enter into exciting times. Enjoy the ride!

    You can LITERALLY substitute this for Hillary voters. There are 3 types for both sides.

    The mere fact the left even had Hillary in consideration proves this to be true.

    Congratulations. the balance you injected adds you to rank of "high information voter". :wink:

    I'd also argue that at least on the left, there is a significant fourth type of voter. Or I should say, non-voter.

    These are the progressives that talk a good game, driven more by pure emotion than intellect, and slamming the other side at every possible opportunity. But when the chips are down, they don't have the fortitude and conviction to go to the voting booth and vote. It can be argued that this superficial layer of progressive citizen, by their inaction, helped make Trump the next POTUS. Maybe they're just a sub-type of liberal voter bucket #1, but they're pervasive enough to identify as an important group.

    I don't really have any issue with what Trump has said so far. I like what he's said. It's what he does that I will reserve judgement on.

    Get ready for the next four years of Trump voters covering their ears and shrieking "fake news" every time the media reports on his failures. That's their safe space. The problem is, everyone else who isn't a Trump minion gets screwed in the process.

    You know, I've always said Trump is a liberal. You don't spend the majority of your 70 years of life supporting liberal positions, and suddenly change completely around the age of 65. The interesting thing is...if Trump governs like a liberal will his die hard supposedly "conservative" supporters still support him? We both know the answer is yes. Conservatives are not really conservatives, despite what they label themselves.

    Difference is Trump is a politician, the president elect, and very soon the president. So when he spouts a bunch of nonsense to appease his low info supporters...he makes the entire country look bad. Me? I'm just some anonymous internet poster bickering with other anonymous internet posters.


    And I commend Harvey for that. Too bad the president elect won't do anything about it because he doesn't care about anyone but himself. Harvey probably knows that, deep down inside, but probably figured "what the hell?"

    Well, that's your opinion and you're entitled to it. Honestly, it doesn't matter what time Christie did it, the fact that he dared to hug Obama got him thrown under the bus by the right. And for you to ramble on about opportunistic narcissist's after voting for the biggest one of them all is amusing indeed. But let's not pretend otherwise, if Christie was the president elect, you'd be defending himself relentlessly like you do Trump.

    The reality is progressives have won numerous victories throughout US history, and world history for that matter. It doesn't matter if their supposed party loses some elections here and there. In fact, considering how you guys have made it clear that the establishment GOP is in fact nothing but a bunch of "RINO's" (liberals posing as conservatives), are progressives REALLY out of power, or are they still in power? Perhaps get your talking points in order first before debating this issue.
