They are a subset of a Trump voters, Einstein, which you know,[/quote]
We are not talking about “a subset” of Trump voters. The words were “Trump voters”. Hence, you are wrong again.
You are spot on my friend.
Better clue TB in on this he is literally oblivious to this point. He said that those folks were not out celebrating the Gorsuch appointment and they ONLY care about jobs.
And @zeb_1, this continues to be hilarious. Thanks, Al Bundy. Don’t you think it’s sad for a grown man to be constantly tut-tutting his “internet predictions” when he comes under attack?
It’s much sadder for you to be attempting to get me to post what YOU want.
As for me touting my many correct predictions that is merely to contrast who has been more accurate over the years you or me.
Don’t let it bother you, you are bound to get one right eventually. Keep plugging away.
Huh? Was Trump high when he said this? (He doesn’t drink, so I know he wasn’t drunk.)

No, you don’t - and you know you don’t. You don’t shed clarity - you play mindless partisan defense every time a Republican is criticized, and you don’t make such “comparisons” when a Democrat is criticized. Look even in this thread, every time someone wants to criticize Trump for not performing well in his first 100 days, you deliberately try to sidetrack all of it into a criticism of Obama or Hillary.
Here’s an idea, one you suggest often - since you want to derail every thread into an Obama- or Hillary-bashing extravaganza, how about just go start your own thread and let the rest of us actually criticize or defend Trump on his own merits?
Just think - in your own Hate on Obama and Hillary thread, you could quote passages from Obama’s Dreams of My Father that don’t actually exist to claim Obama is racist and anti-Semitic, like you’ve done before.
Tired thread is tired.

Any comments on the budget? As a fiscal conservative the border wall is a tremendously stupid idea to me, especially considering a government shutdown is looming.
“Less than a week before the federal government could run out of money, White House officials said President Donald Trump wants any spending deal to include some funding for a border wall, despite little appetite among congressional Republicans for risking a partial shutdown over the issue.”
As a tremendous, bigly amazing, best ever deal maker I’m sure Trump won’t shut down the government when HIS PARTY IS IN CONTROL.
And as an expert negotiator, I’m sure he wouldn’t complicate the focus:
“Complicating the intricate negotiations over the funding bill, top White House officials also are also urging House Republicans to move swiftly to revive a partisan health-care bill that stalled last month, and Mr. Trump has said he would release a proposal for overhauling the tax code on Wednesday.”
“With Republicans in control of both the White House and Congress for the first time since early 2007, GOP lawmakers and aides have stressed the need to demonstrate their party can govern, particularly after House leaders were forced to pull their health-care bill from the floor last month when it became clear it lacked enough Republican support to pass”
Ya think?? At least he’s shaking things up and showing those politicians how to get things done, amirite?

Incorrect, that’s exactly what I am talking about - the Trump voters that will be most disappointed in Trump’s failure to deliver on economic promises, like trade, protection of industries, and the like. And they will come around to buyer’s remorse because Trump was simply telling them what they wanted to hear. The conservatives you say that will be eternally happy for the Trump victory by the sole criterion of appointment of Gorsuch are a subset of the larger Trump vote, but one that will not save his hide in 2020 if the other Trump voters - Rust Belt populists, who aren’t all that worried about a SCOTUS seat - turn on Trump.
Agreed with you.

“Look, having nuclear—my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart—you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I’m one of the smartest people anywhere in the world—it’s true!—but when you’re a conservative Republican they try—oh, do they do a number—that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune—you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged—but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me—it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are (nuclear is powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what’s going to happen and he was right—who would have thought?), but when you look at what’s going on with the four prisoners—now it used to be three, now it’s four—but when it was three and even now, I would have said it’s all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don’t, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years—but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us.”

If you are referring to Trump’s low popularity I think it is important to mention that he…along with Hillary…had the lowest popularity ratings of any two major party candidates for President in modern times (some do not realize this and I am sure it is informative). Why is that important to mention? Because no one with such high negatives going into the Presidency is going to suddenly and dramatically have high or even reasonable popularity ratings only 100 days into his Presidency.
That I had to explain this to you explains to me and others why you are so very wrong in your analysis most of the time. In short, you might be brilliant at work (one can only hope), but you just don’t understand politics at this level and you never have. But…you are actually smart enough to understand this (I hope).
wtf did I just read

It’s mind-blowing, but it also shows that Trump is not and never has been on the same page as Congressional Republicans. But Trump is wise enough to know that The Wall is one of his signature promises and if he doesn’t press for it, he will be roasted for it, and it could be a straw that breaks the broken-promises camel’s back.
Now, paying for The Wall is purely a political move for Trump. It’s pretty clear he doesn’t care all that much about it, but needs to pretend to for the sake of politics.
Lol, that actually is pretty hilarious.

Yes, we all know you “hope” that they will turn on Trump. And I will say that if he does not deliver he deserves to lose. But as I have reminded you we still have 1,360 days left in his term so it’s far too early to call him a failure. But you should know this stuff…
How is it pretty clear that he doesn’t care about building the wall? If you really have some good information that demonstrates this I’d sincerely love to read it. Or, is this another of your God awful analysis based purely on emotion?
Trump insisted the wall would be built and paid for by Mexico. What affirmative actions has he undertaken to make that happen?
I’m going to say pushing for a wall that was campaign item #1 and has been approved (but not appropriated) by the opposition in past votes, & pushing through a conservative but very accomplished Justice are low fruit - from an activity level.
Changing healthcare and recreating a manufacturing centered economy quicker than has already been happening for several years (thanks @loppar) are like going from ROTC drills to D-Day landing. An insistence 100 days completion by anyone with 2 brain cells, is the stuff of fairy tales.
I’m interested to see how the budget negotiations go. I think that’ll be a good indication of how any future healthcare and tax reform legislation will go. The “big league” stuff if you will.
