    Whilst many are embarrassed by his puerile outbursts, the bumper sticker exegeses may serve as a relentless series of inarticulate primal screams, a chronic affliction of screaming mimis - with the redundant emphasis on the MEs.

    [​IMG]
    "I Know Words, I Have The Best Words!"

    - One might wish that he would occasionally share some of them.

    The poll question posited may well have as much practical application to reality as, "Should cows stop farting?", but it is theoretical and speculative. (There may well be ideologically-deranged deniers of anthropogenic climate change that attempt a transference of culpability to our flatulent bovine friends, of course.)

    Trump worshippers may well regard the prospect of their messiah consulting, reflecting, and articulating nuanced concepts that do not reek of bile and narcissism as admirers of FDR might have envisioned the great man suddenly springing from his wheelchair and doing a spot-on tribute to legendary hoofer Bert Williams - miraculous, but quite disturbing.

    A tweetless Trump? Ennoblement or castration?

    A timely example.

    With a plethora of cogent issues of import to address, the derangement impairs:

    [​IMG] Donald J. Trump

    Hillary Clinton colluded with the Democratic Party in order to beat Crazy Bernie Sanders. Is she allowed to so collude? Unfair to Bernie!

    What practical purpose does such irrelevant sniveling serve?
    It sounds as if collusion is motivating his latest transference.

    Sad, very sad.

    Let him do what he wants you can not read them if you want. Asking him to stop tweeting would be like asking Bill to stop assaulting women, it won't happen it is what they do.

    I do not like traitor and liar Trump, but he shall continue to twit because MSM presstitutes are much worst as he and pervert any his word.

    I voted for Trump, and even though I have not been thrilled with the way he's gotten things started off, I'd definitely vote for him again if my only other choice was a corrupt, stupid old bag like Hilarity Clinton. :spin:

    That said, YES, I do wish he would stay the hell OFF of 'Twitter' and all other such 'social-media' platforms which are generally reserved for knuckle-draggers, badly-educated Millennials, snowflakes, and other types who can't control their mouths or their bowel-movements (and who often confuse the two)....

    No!!!!! Trump should not stop tweeting because that would let the MSM totally control the message. Technology changes things, one would think that the 'progressives' would accept those changes.

    I am seeing more and more people. Like your good self, who have been life long republicans, people who I have fiercely debated in the past, who now are showing disappointment. I know you hoped that many of the promises made would be kept - not in entirety but even in some degree.

    Unfortunately Trump represents that group I have always been wary of - the person who wants a job not because they feel it is a job that someone has to do and they can see the clear pathway to do it but are reluctant to take on the job because they can see how much is involved

    Funny, Republicans can be critical of their own unlike Democrats who held up Obama as some kind of god. That being said, I sincerely doubt that you have your finger on the pulse of Republican political thought. :roll::roflol:

    You may need to concoct a bizarre parallel with Clinton's sluttish proclivities (although I don't recall his boasting that his celebrity licensed him to grab females by the pudenda) to divert attention from the topic, but it is understandable why so many of his minions dearly wish he could exhibit a bit of self-control in his irrational outbursts. His tweet tantrums make their jobs very difficult. I suspect that the majority of Americans that disapprove of his job performance take a perverse delight in seeing him continually demean himself via his hysterical, narcissistic tweet addiction, and, of course, his cult is just in awe of anything he says or does.

    No, of course he should not stop tweeting. Granted, some people ONLY want to hear what CNN and MSNBC reading scripts dictated to them by the global super rich and mega international corporations they work for tell them to say - and can not possibly stand hearing anything else. But that's tough luck. If a person can not emotionally handle Trump's tweets they shouldn't read them.

    It is funny reading all the LOSERS in the election telling Trump to STOP doing was he does that caused him to win.

    From your blog you agree with:
    "Mitch McConnell wants him to stop tweeting. Carly Fiorina wants him to stop tweeting. Lindsey Graham and Susan Collins and other Republican members of Congress and some Democrats in Congress and Jeb Bush and many of Trump’s advisers and attorneys and even some of his supporters (although not all of his supporters) want him to stop tweeting."

    Glad to see you now have joined the Republican Party agreeing with McConnel, Fiorina, Graham, Collins and Jeb Bush. :roflol:

    Read replies here - people I have debated for YEARS have said that now they cannot support THIS republican president.

    I think for many it hurts that someone they thought would work in the best interests of the country has failed in every regard to fulfill those promises

    I don't see it and anyone who takes your political posts seriously are already left of left regardless of their political affiliations IMO

    I had two main motivations in voting for Trump:

    1. Protect the Supreme Court from the installation of any more lock-step, hyperliberal stooges like Sotomayor and Kagan (thanks, Obama!).
    2. Protect the United States from being ruled over by an ignorant, arrogant, stupid criminal president, which is all that Hillary Clinton ever was or will be....

    I honestly cannot see how 'tweeting' what's on his mind has helped Donald Trump to get anything of any merit or value accomplished. I do so wish that he would stop this childish nonsense IMMEDIATELY!

    What would I have preferred instead? RICK PERRY FOR PRESIDENT... for so many really good reasons. I suppose I should be happy that at least he was Trump's choice to be Secretary of Energy, but I wish he could be much more. Parenthetically, how many 'tweets' have been sent out to the public by Secretary Perry? None...?

    But now I'm curious... today, June 26th, 2017, who would you on the Left like to be your next presidential candidate? Surely you've got someone out there who would be a better choice, going forward, than Michelle, "Pocahontas" Dizzy-Lizzy Warren, Bernie (if he's still alive), or any of the other 'socialist-lite' dreck you guys have handy in your Democrat ranks.... Why not find another John F. Kennedy instead?!

    The best thing that could happen to Trump is some staffer take a hammer to his phone and smash it to bits.

    You know -- like Hillary did.

    I voted no. I made the unfortunate mistake of watching his interview with Ainsley Earhardt and I don't recall watching any as inarticulate and rambling as that man is. I'd rather he limits himself to 140 characters when he has something to blurt out. I don't need to scrub my eyes and ears with Clorox. Keep Tweeting away.

    It may be therapeutic. It's like an overflow safety valve for excessive narcissistic build-up. The 140 word verbosity is inevitably unjustified by meagre content.

    I hope he keeps tweeting but I want him to meet with press more often. The crazier he is, the crazier his word salads are and he admits to the darnedest things.

    Three years from now, we will still be hearing people say 'he needs to be presidential', he needs to stop tweeting' but what we see is what we get. Lying, cheating and stealing has worked for him all his life. Why would he change?

    Would liberals stop whining about Trump if he stopped tweeting? No they won't. They'll whine about something else. There is no need for Trump to do anything at all that could be seen as appeasing liberals. He should do absolutely nothing differently...

    There has never been such a lying, petty, enraged, maniacal, fake media and DNC, furiously spinning about and against this President, 24/7. But they get a big fat pass in deference to the occasional defensive tweet from the President? Utter nonsense....even moreso than some of the Presidents tweets.
