Things to get done

[Docthehun]

In fairness, Trump doesn't have the support from establishment GOP to accomplish much of what he wants to accomplish. The ACA should have been repealed by now hands down.

The coal industry isn't as powerful as it used to be, hence they're not deep in the pockets of establishment GOP I suspect.

I've been saying it all along, there are a lot of Republicans working against the guy. The more enemies you make, the tougher getting chit accomplished. He's not very good at team building. When you're the boss, you don't necessarily have to be; but this isn't his company and he isn't the boss. He seems not to be learning that fact. I doubt it will be re-named; "Trump USA" in his honor, although Lou Dobbs would gladly chair a committee to make it happen.

Never Trumpers are not going to join. So we will have to prune them away.

Are you a Never Trumper? It seems like it to me.

I think Doc voted for Trump but I might be wrong.

No, I'd love for him to be successful, but I view his personality to be counter-productive in this environment, which I maintain, he didn't want in the first place. What served him well, at least financially, in his previous position, is not how to get things done in Washington. He's no dummy, but he seems to lack a lot of what I consider, "general information". He obviously prefers watching TV news to reading. so I think he's missed out on a lot of useful information. There are a number of posters on this board, including you, that have a lot more practical knowledge. They say Einstein couldn't tie his own shoes.

One could vote for him as the last remaining option. He consistently puts president Trump in the worst possible light. Never Trumpers do that.

I made a point earlier in the year, Trump's world all of his successful life is throwing elephants around a staff of socks in his business world. If someone opposed they'd get a knife in the back and replaced.

That's how he operated for how long, decades?

He's never served in public office and transitioning his business style to public office was a catastrophe waiting to happen. I suggested several times that he should get a public office coach that he could commit to if he's ever going to get anything done.

He didn't and won't so anything that happens is going to have to come by way of sledgehammer.

I don't agree.

Doc is skeptical and critical, don't confuse that with opposition.

Bush league mistake.

And yet he has had enormous success already.

More is coming.

One does not create a multibillion-dollar company without extraordinary energy, effort, and skill. We disagree.

And Einstein never had any problem tying his shoes from any of the books I read about him.

No, that's correct. I promised early on to support the Party nominee. I fulfilled my obligation. Going forward, I'll only make such a commitment after the convention.

I try and call it like I see it. I cringe at some of the stuff that comes from our Party. Democrats aren't stupid people and they know when BS is BS. Personally, I won't be soft on the Party until they start being honest. Tell it like it is and move on. I've been this way since long before the POTUS rolled into town and if the current state of affairs continues, nothing much with me will change. You've taken it way too personal. I might even like Trump.................well; more like, tolerate.
