Never-Trumper Organ National Review Starts To See The Light

[wacojoe]

An article written by Victor Davis Hanson entitled The Trump rational brings into focus why so many voters were willing to pull the lever for “Trump disqualified by his occasional but demonstrable character flaws and often rank vulgarity?” He goes on to compare Trump to the many successful politicians who have exhibited the same moral and ethical frailties yet been solid leaders. He also explores what contrasts between Trump and HRC are apparent and where they would most probably lead in the future.

...For good or evil, the trash-talking and candid Trump challenged progressives. They took up the offer in spades and melted down — and America is getting a good look at where each side really sits.

In the end, only the people will vote on Trumpism. His supporters knew full well after July 2016 that his possible victory would come with a price — one they deemed more than worth paying given the past and present alternatives. Most also no longer trust polls or the media. To calibrate the national mood, they simply ask Trump voters whether they regret their 2016 votes (few do) and whether any Never Trump voters might reconsider (some are), and then they’re usually reassured that what is happening is what they thought would happen: a 3 percent GDP economy, low unemployment, record energy production, pushbacks on illegal immigration, no Iran deal, no to North Korean missiles pointed at the U.S., renewed friendship with Israel and the Gulf states, a deterrent foreign policy, stellar judicial appointments — along with Robert Mueller, Stormy Daniels, Michael Cohen, and lots more, no doubt, to come.

Yep, he was the right person at the time. He has shocked the entire political spectrum and slammed them hard, now with any luck we can get rid of the old guard and finally have a govt that will focus on the American people and their immediate issues, instead of everybody else.


He is doing exactly what I, and many many others, elected him to do.

Still remember laying in bed with the radio going listening to the results coming in and couldn't beleave what I was hearing when the announcement came. My neighbors who are far left spent two days with there heads hanging down and wouldn't speak to me.

I can't help it but I wonder what he is really going to be able to do. Constant battles, trials, tribulations, gossip and lies. He is so tied up in the BS that I wonder when he'll ever have the time to do anything about "draining the swamp." I wonder also if he'll ever get enough support behind him to get stuff to stick. I see all this stuff about somebody finding dirt on somebody else but nothing ever happens. Politics as usual

Mike he has endured all sorts of lies and crap tossed at him from even before he took the keys to the office. It has been nonstop and he has accomplished a very large amount of the campaign promises he made to get elected. This scares the bejeebers out of the lifetime politicians, as it shows just how weak and worthless they have been all of these years.


You have to remember that Trump has the media figured out. If he wants to get something done he sends out a tweet or three about something silly and the hounds go off chasing rabbits that were never there. Then Trump can concentrate on the job he has at hand to accomplish. You would think these so-called "elite reporters" would have enough sense to know they are being played. He has been doing it for a couple of years at least, standard misdirection trick.


I get such a kick out of the MSM frothing at the mouth over something that is only there to keep them occupied so the real work can get done. It is hilarious.
