    No, the essence of you post is that, as Trump CLEARLY stated...

    "I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose voters."

    You pretty much stated that there is nothing he could do that would cause him to lose you support.

    THAT is surrendering the moral high ground on ANY ISSUE.

    Probably not. Trump doesn't exactly attract the kind of people known for rational thought. As long as he keeps pushing the right buttons, his loyal disciples will forget all the levers he is pulling.

    What is it your objecting too. What welfare program are you in danger of losing? What particular thing is it that you really hate Trump for?

    LOL, if a poll has Trump at a 58% approval rating I think some here would be touting it, including Trump :smile: Trump loves polls which show him in a positive light, all others are "fake". :roll: We won't need to worry about it though, can anyone ever imagine Trump at a 58% approval rating? Of course not - it would be fake, like all other polls, news, weather forecasts, tarot card readings, tea leaves, psychic readings and so on.....:wink:

    Yeah you know. You said it because that's what liberals do. Anyway. I'll just show your comment up by stating that despite being a trump supporter, I strongly oppose his idea of trying to get along with Russia. I have stated this many times. So... yeah... your comment is a fail.

    I hope never. They have turned off so many people. The true obstructionist's are showing their colors. The Anarchists have aligned with the Dems. I say follow the money and find out who is funding those who are trying to overthrow our government and bring them up on charges and prosecute them to the max.

    It showed that most voters were disgusted by him, but outside of CA and NY even more so by Killary and her party of race baiting and haughtily ignoring most of the other 48 states.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Why would I care what the Clintons do now? They're not in office.

    Funny how "Mexico will pay for the wall" has become "Congress to fund the wall", which means we, the American people, are going to pay for it.

    Man, you guys got suckered...

    Maybe. I am honestly not sure what his main intention is. I hope that you are right.
    Pphhttt. Please don't lump me into whatever groups you think you have an idea about who I am.

    And it's a comment I'm glad is a fail. Means their is still some non-partisan actual thinking going on. Kudos to you.

    You're asking this of people who sat by patiently watching the US being sold out to globalists since at least 1980 and said little or nothing?

    When people like that finally put their foot down, a little roughness around the edges is not going to deter them from fulfilling their intent.

    Off topic.

    You said there was nothing Trump could do, not a single ethics issue, to lose your support.

    THAT is surrendering the moral high ground.

    I opposed Trump until he was nominated. He does have problems, but so far, he has not been the catastrophy I had expected. I don't like the Nordstrom blow up.


    In normal times, I would be near my breaking point, but these are not normal times. I judge the Trumps relative to the Clintons and other Democratic politicians. The press didn't seem to care about those people or that Obama openly lied to the voters many times. So why as long as Trump keeps his campaign promises should I care about his and his family's problems?

    I care as much as the press and entertainment industry cared about Obama and his allies.

    I said "probably" and provided a clear explanation, that given the totally immoral, unethical, dishonest, violent and intolerant behavior of Trump's lib/prog haters and the corruption, snobbism, dishonesty and elitism of the Democratic leadership, Trump's chances to outdo them are very close to nil.

    Using the federal government to pump revenue into your business is a "family problem?"

    Point accepted. No ethical lapse by Trump will cause his supporters to question him because they have no morals either.

    Yes, there is always a "breaking point".

    At some point all of the vile vicious hateful bigotry from the Left will be too much.

    At some point all of the people assaulted, robbed, and killed by feral degenerate criminals protected and encouraged by the Left will be too much.

    At some point all of the people killed, the women raped, and the children molested by the illegal invading criminals that the Left give sanctuary to will be too much.

    At some point the Islamic terrorist attacks made possible by the pro-terror anti-American agendas of the Left will be too much.

    At some point we'll reach that "breaking point".

    Here's the thing though, friend.

    You don't want that.

    Ok, you just simply do not want that.

    You see your kind doesn't have a "breaking point" because you're always in a constant state of outrage, that's how the DNC has designed their voters.

    So instead Leftists just have temper tantrums.

    When your kind has a temper tantrum they riot or burn down a few police cars or march while spamming their mantras of bigotry or maybe stand around yelling at webcam mounted on a wall.

    Our kind, our side, doesn't do that.

    We don't march through the streets in a fully triggered level 10 mouth foaming state of outrage because Trump had corn flakes for breakfast.

    But in exchange this means that a breaking point exists.

    And historically when people of our nature reach that point there is only one outcome: war.

    And, heh, I think its pretty obvious that if we ever do have a war ...your side will lose.

    You don't know how to defend yourselves, or take care of yourselves, you have no personal accountability or ambition, your side doesn't serve so you have no training, you hate guns, and you've done such an amazing job of identifying and exposing yourselves that you'd have pretty much tactical edge of any kind.

    So, yea, we have a a breaking point ...and you don't ever want to see us reach it.

    I am not aware of any information regarding how much money Obama made while in the White House, but I do know that he released his tax returns when he ran both times unlike your guy. Are you accusing President Obama of improperly cashing in on his public office? If so, please produce some evidence. One thing I remember well was Trump and all of his minions calling Hillary Clinton a crook who was peddling influence for personal gain during the campaign. Of course, no evidence was produced for that either. Now it seems that certain hypocrites really don't care if public office is used for self enrichment....Funny how that works, ain't it?.....lol

    I was simply pointing out the fact that those who were screaming about Clinton using her office for personal gain a couple months ago (with absolutely no evidence, mind you), are fine with Trump and his family using the Presidency to line their pockets. What a bunch of (*)(*)(*)(*)ing hypocrites!! And by the way champ, I am 63 years old and have never collected a dime in welfare, unemployment or any other government subsidy. Also I would bet that I have paid more in taxes than you will ever make. I do not hate Trump, but I am aware that he is just another sleazy lying politician. That said, I hope that President Trump has a very successful and peaceful reign as POTUS...Cheers

    how many did Obama personally sell himself, that is the difference, if Trump let someone else run the company and did not attack corporations not buying his families products that are made overseas then it would not be a issue

    The costs have been greater than the benefits. If it was the reverse i might start to concern myself. The problem is that NO IDEOLOGY is seperating business from ideology. We have people boycotting companies. CEOs abusing their position by using the company they are supposed to run as political leverage. You have government elected officials accepting money from foreign entities. We are on a dangerous path.

    I don't know, so I'm asking... are there lots of independents and Democrats in Utah? I thought that was like the most Republican state in the nation. However, when I saw Jason Chaffetz's town hall meeting, (yesterday, I think,) those people didn't look like happy Republicans. I think you are probably right about Trump's hard core constituency being happy. I'm not sure all his voters are as happy as they are though. I could be wrong, but if Utah is any example, there's trouble in paradise. I'm in a deep red state and people have stopped talking about him here, stopped posting all the "My President" stuff on Facebook… abruptly and so much so, I noticed it. Could just be anecdotal, I'll admit though. I don't know what the polls are saying, as I haven't checked those recently. They were trending down last I looked. Have things changed?

    So you would be happy to see the White House become a retail store?

    President Trump can rent out the Lincoln bedroom as long as he continues to make liberal heads explode. That entertainment is priceless!
