Smooth Operator

Oh, I think Trump will get both sides to work with him... he speaks their language. Money. That is all they care about. They can be bought, and he knows that they can be bought. He may have gotten a gigantic leg up as a start but plenty of others get the same advantage and fail.So, he had to have done something right, and that something is finding out a way to make people bend to your will. He knows that everyone has their price, and that everyone has their secrets. The combination of those two pieces of knowledge can get a lot of people to do a lot of things.

Not that I think he is presidential at all. He would actually be a bigger embarrassment than the inelegant and uncouth Obama's have been, which is about as big an embarrassment as the inelegant and uncouth Bushes were.....

I think he could get hings done, after he shakes them up and exposes the long time cronyism. He won't have any problem calling out the likes of Nancy Pelosi and Mitch McConnel for being the problem. And, working to get them ousted from leadership roles, if not all together voted out. If all he accomplishes woudl be a little cleaning of the house.. that would be sufficient.

He'd fail to get cooperation just as Obama has. Are you seriously thinking he can bribe them? How....more pork? Sure thing. We'll just pile on expensive projects in every district so Trump can push his agenda.....

By rallying popular opinion against his opposition. Public opinion is political Kryptonite.
 

Are we still losing 750,000 jobs per month? Is the DJIA still down below 8,000? How about Bin Laden? Is he still planning attacks on the US? GM still making cars?

1. Right track/wrong track....we've already covered this.
2. Economic confidence....and you blame Obama? Gee...could it have anything to do with Greece being bankrupt, China devaluing their currency....Global economic performance if not under the control of the US president.
3. Race relations? Again...what has Obama done to create racial division? Could it be that we have not seen as many stories about policemen shooting unarmed black people until recently? How about the white guy shooting a bunch of black people in a church? What did Obama do to encourage that shooting?
 
Depends which father you're talking about, although both candidates were marxists...

So you have DNA tests to actually dispute the evidence that Obama's father was not Barack Obama Sr?

In any case...feel free to offer any evidence of Obama's marxist tendencies....should be good for a laugh.
 
AP sez: Trump will get rid of Obama Care, he will tear up the Iran nuke deal, he will re build our military, he will Make America Great Again.

Getting rid of Obamacare: Good move, smart. We cannot afford it. But we need a fair alternative where we won't need to take our banker along (for a loan) when we see a doctor.

Re-build our military?
This bloated and bloody institution is driving us into the ground. It is what collapsed the Soviet Union in the end. When will we learn? We'll never be able to satisfy this monster that is nothing more than a mercenary arm of the Jewish state, serving the needs of a foreign power. ISIS is a Mossad-run operation, and Trump will soon learn this fact through his CIA Director. Consequently, he'll do nothing to ISIS, but will sit in the WH with his tail between his legs.

Tear up the Iran nuke deal?
Lousy move, very unwise. Nothing more than sucking up to Israel, the tar baby we need to pull away from, not get closer to. Besides, the world will totally ignore America if it votes 'no' on the deal. Europe, especially, is tired of marching to America's beat, and will demonstrate this in no uncertain terms if the U.S. tries to scupper this hard-fought agreement.

It takes a measure of wisdom to be a good president; more than just thumbing your nose at PC, pounding your chest, and pissing on opponents. Trump falls far short of what it takes. Kennedy was our last good president, IMO.

The immaculate President? WTF?

1. So what? Obama has failed to get us moving in the right direction - by almost everyone's definition. It has gotten WORSE as his Presidency wore on. That's NOT success!
2. We have not recovered from the recession - period. And yes, we can blame Obama who never really addressed the economic problems and instead sought universal healthcare and social justice. FAIL!
3. White police "acted stupidly"; If he had a son he'd "look like Trevon"; he's been the most divisive President we have ever had.

I get it - you like him. You see nothing he could have done better. A) that's not the "middleview" and B) fortunately for America, it's an ever smaller minority view.
 
Just having public opinion on your side isn't the same as rallying it to overcome the special interests. THAT'S what great leaders do...

Sure thing....Congress knew about the numbers. They caved to the NRA. Public opinion didn't matter at all.

1. We are not losing jobs every month...that is the right direction.
2. We did not lose a million jobs when GM and Chrysler went under...that is a good thing.
3. You want to look at recovery as a black or white issue. It isn't. You also want to compare recessions and depressions as if they all have the same causes and same solutions...they don't. We are still recovering. Countries all over the globe are in recession. Why do you think China just devalued the Yuan?

Yes, the police acted stupidly. It would not have been a smart move to arrest a college professor on the front porch of his home, even if the president hadn't answered the question reporters asked of him....Treyvon Marin was a boy who should still be alive if not for a wack job, with a gun, pretending to protect his gated neighborhood.

Are we divided? Yes. Is it because the losers, the republicans in congress, decided to make sure that nothing happened that Obama could take credit for? Is it because of the racist jokes about having a black man in the "White House"? Could it be due to the founding of the Tea Party in 2009, just as Obama was sworn in? How about "death panels" in the ACA? How about the lies? Did the entire Pacific fleet sail to the coast of India for Obama's visit there? No, but that is what Fox news reported. Was Obama born in Kenya? No, but that is what right wing media played out for years. Is Obama a Marxist....only to someone on the right who doesn't know what Marxixm looks like.
