An interesting take on things.
but apart from John Insane/Jihad McCain? and his minion, Lindsey Graham, who other prominent republicans oppose him now ? The speaker isn't a fan but he's still on board, give us a scenario where Trump gets impeached, and the republicans are in on it, what could he possibly do ?
He's got the mandate, he is the president, I think you may have it all upside down, and that the republicans now fall in line and go along with his agenda, a lot of which I imagine they are already down with. Where he does have ideological differences with the traditional republicans is stuff like healthcare and social security etc where he doesn't want to cut (at least he ran on that) domestically and on foreign policy (wrt Russia and Syria) but foreign policy falls squarely within the ambit of the Presidency, he decides how America conducts itself in the world, and what we've heard from him on that has been really good (stop toppling governments, stop aiding terrorists, try for peace with Russia..) what the hell kind of person would be opposed to any of those 3
yuge points ?
As for the Republican party, not only has he saved them from possible irrelevance, he has begun to fundamentally change them:
and he crushed that right wing ideologue zealot, lyin' Ted
there's an interview out there, from 99 I think, possibly with Larry King, where he says that the left and right are becoming too extreme and that he's more of a common sense centrist, there's a lot of clips of him talking politics and a run these past 30 years, the guy is not a monster, far from perfect, but nowhere close to being a monster either.
The most controversial thing he said during the campaign was the 'muslim ban', which was outrageous, but he's really only bringing attention to a real problem, a specific religious mindset that drives some insane. People in Pakistan know better than most how dangerous that can be, with groups like TTP, LeJ, local branches of al qaeda etc. what is it, close to a 100,000 killed these past 15 years in the WoT ?
Trump in 2011, please ignore the offensively titled video and watch the content/interview:
"most muslims are wonderful people, but is there a problem..."
America being PC about it isn't helping, in fact it's only making it worse.
I know a few people from the middle east, they're fed up of the crazies in their midst, even ran into a senior diplomatic staff guy from a
very prominent MENA country and he was really gung-ho about Trump, way back in December 15, and I went
(under my breath). Interesting how he had a meeting with Gen Sisi in new york when he was there for the UN thing earlier, and Egypt later backing off the recent Israel settlement resolution after a call from Trump, hmm.. but I digress, point being, that a lot of the outrage is manufactured (some justified, most is manufactured), and people can see past that. Hell, even on this forum, we have at least a few Pakistani Americans who voted Trump, and they know others from their friends and family circle who voted Trump too.
another random youtube vid I stumbled upon, election relevant content, but you don't have to watch it:
ok, Iraqi origin murrican lesbian chick.. her folks (moved there in the 60s/living the dream).. voted for Trump.
I have countless other instances, personal and public story wise I could recall but Trump has big support from within a lot of unlikely quarters, because he's neither the right wing monster he's being made out to be, nor is he a buffon who just slipped on a banana peel and now finds himself POTUS #45
His next election map will look like Reagan's, all red, no big city blue islands,
you watch
priceless !
revenge served cold, na, have some fancy frog legs instead.
