Can Anyone Keep Up With Trump?

He is slashing and driving to the hoop with authority!

The media isnt smart or dynamic enough to keep up and report properly and we know the limited intellect of people elected to Congress cant.

Is this just one of those things most of you wont be able to understand and comprehend until many years down the road? Is this like watching Bird, Ripken Jr or Gretzky in their prime and you only appreciate how great they were after they have left?

I think so.

No. It's not. This is watching a buffoon who has no clue and got into office because a sufficient minority of the American People distributed in a sufficient geographical pattern did a very stupid thing in voting for him.

The electoral college was created to protect small states from being controlled by one or two large states. I'd say the system worked as intended. Take out ca and ny, and it was also a popular vote landslide.

I'd hardly call it "a buffoon who has no clue." Well in advance of the election he published a detailed list of things he was going to do. Guess what, he's doing exactly what he promised. That sounds like someone with a plan and the ability to execute the plan, something this country hasn't had in a long time.

It is an absolute shock to me, since there has never been a politician that campaigned and then did ANYTHING they said they would. I expected ZERO from Trump and in 4 days he is already the greatest president in my lifetime. If he builds the wall he will be the single greatest leader in the history of mankind.

This white boy can ball..........

Can Trump keep the pace up is the bigger question...he's pretty old to be using whatever it is that keeps him sniffing through press conferences. He'll probably drop dead within a couple of years.

Take out ca and ny, and it was also a popular vote landslide.

Think about that...JSO...leaning on the millions of gays, left leaning Hispanic immigrants protecting their illegal immigrant relatives and friends, and pro abortion fanatics in CA and NY to support his political ideology.

THINK ABOUT THAT.

Take out CA alone and Trump won the popular vote.

I think the two most apt descriptions I heard of Trump's first week were former Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell describing him as being like "a chicken with his head cut off" and F. Chuck Todd quipping, "The fact checkers are exhausted."

The misinformation, flim flam, and bullshit continue. No surprise. I just wonder how long it's going to take before some of the Trumpbots start dealing with reality.

And take the former Confederate States of America out and Clinton won the popular vote by even more. I don't get what you think you're showing by that kind of argument. Don't get me wrong. I live in the former Confederate States of America and I think there are a lot of positives about them. But more US citizens wanted Clinton to be President than wanted Trump to be President. He is the most "unwanted" President of my lifetime.

BTW, this is about a lot more than political ideology. This is about putting a mentally ill person into a very important job. And, to the extent that it might be about political ideology, what happened with Trump being nominated then elected harms the cause of conservative political ideology. It's totally destroyed the credibility of that ideology for the long run.

People who claim to have a conservative ideology just had a test. They had a chance to show that principle mattered more than politics. And the majority of them failed the test.

I did not.

Oh you failed, in fact it was so bad even KYJelly is laughing at you. (But not more than the rest of us) Look on the bright side, only 8 more years of Trump

You know, on the matter of ideology:

If you've paid any attention over the years you know my ideology is conservative. Until this past Presidential election I had only voted Democrat once in my almost 60 year life; and that was a case where the Democrat was pro life while the Republican was pro choice. What I've done in this case is show that I will put ideology aside when the reality of the situation calls for it. I will not just knee jerk vote for the Republican candidate in a Presidential election regardless of how bad that Republican candidate is.

Those who voted for and/or supported Trump voted for and/or supported an obviously evil, dishonest, mentally sick man. They basically said they would vote for the Republican regardless of how evil the person in the Republican suit is. Absolutely zero principle. Sold their souls in order to be able to say their "side" won.

You sell you soul every day you don't tell you wife how you really feel about religion and her dog...and you come on here to preach about selling souls?

If Trump is evil then yes, I want what he is buying, its better than the absolute POS we have had the last 8 years.

If Trump is mentally ill (hes not) I want what hes selling because its better than the pile of shit we have have had the last 8 years.

You are wrong

The fact that the election was so close, and that one of the candidates was named Donald Trump, does not speak well for whatever Democratic candidate managed to lose it

Don't despair though... 9 times out of 10 you'll get your way and Californians and New Yorkers will choose your President for you

I was wrong, without ca alone, trump would have wore popular vote. So i see your point, take out 13 states to make it a Hillary victory vice just the the one state ca to make it a trump popular vote victory instead of just an electoral college landslide.

You have a pathetic argument.

And without Texas alone Clinton would've won the popular vote by more and also won the electoral vote.

More of the People in the United States voted for Clinton than voted for Trump. They are all citizens of the United States.

It is what it is. We have the electoral college system. But I think the absurdity of the result we had this time is a good reason to question whether the electoral college system is a good system to have.

Look at Pennsylvania, for instance. 47.6% of the people in that State voted for Clinton. But their votes were rendered essentially meaningless by the electoral college system because even though the State was very close to evenly split all 20 of Pennsylvania's electoral votes went to the nut job.

BTW, Trump did not win an electoral college landslide. I posted something about that earlier but I'll go ahead and type it again: Trump's electoral college margin ranks 46th among 58 Presidential elections. He would've lost if ONE State (Texas) would've gone the other way.
