Republicans: Do you have a breaking point with Trump?

[Bruce_T_Laney]

In other words, his supporters didn't vote for him because of his policies or promises. They liked his entertainment value. He made them laugh; his speeches didn't put them to sleep. Reality TV star, willing to be rude, talks like a 3rd grader so no one is left out, tweets insults all night long. WHAT'S NOT TO LIKE?

So I could be President!!!

Oh, I was born in Canada to a Scottish\Lebanese mother and Irish\Italian Father, so no damn dice there!

Serious question: Back during the campaign, those of us who were not voting for Trump didn't believe that he'd be able to follow through on a pretty significant percentage of his promises. We were mocked, of course, but now that we know the ACA won't be repealed, that Mexico won't be paying for the wall, that Trump even backed out of requiring WE fund the wall, and that he's softening on NAFTA and NATO and other issues, I'd like to know:

Have you thought about how much leeway you'll give him on his promises before you'd stop supporting him?
.

I have understood for a long time that what someone promises during a campaign and what they can do when they are elected are very different things.

I think part of his appeal may not have even specifically about issues, per se. Part of it was like a primal scream, people who have become so frustrated with the status quo that voting for him was like flipping the bird to the system. If that's the case, the individual decisions and legislation are essentially secondary.
.

You answered your question right there and Trump was the angry vote that usually goes third party but this time some stayed in the GOP to make sure Clinton would not win!

It had more to do with Clinton than if Trump fulfilled any of his promises and the USSC picks which in my opinion is not going to make the fringe voter happy at all!

happy to know there are still republicans with enough brain cells to see through the BS.

Well, that would be great, but I'm a left-leaning independent who voted for Hillary...

So you should be happy that he has adopted all of her significant policies, yes?

Yeah, the fallback for Trump supporters (and really, this applies to pretty much any presidency, both parties) is that, regardless how much he disappoints, they can say "at least he isn't Hillary". I get that.

I was just hoping to squeeze a little intellectual honesty out and there have been some interesting responses. So, success!

Trump's presidency is a little more interesting to me, though, because he's such a loose cannon, and loose cannons certainly can blow up both sides.

I don't have words to describe how much I disliked aligning myself politically with the Regressives by voting for Hillary, seriously.

I would have much preferred to vote third party, but I was going to vote for Hillary if either Trump or Cruz got the nomination.

Politics have been one long, horrific fucking nightmare for me since the day Trump came down that escalator.

I was heartbroken he could win any type of election in our country. That being said I was willing to give him a chance, until he assembled his cabinet. He promised to be everyone's president then surrounded himself with racists and homophobes.

Yeah, he ran as more of an independent, but has gone hard right since. I'd be very interested to know the behind-the-scenes of how that happened.
.

He ran "independent" from the establishment but had a hard right rhetoric from the start. The "ban muslims" "mexicans are rapists" "women who receive abortions should be punished" ... how farther right can you get without falling off the fascist thrown?

Don't forget to mention that some of those who campaigned and donated to Trump are even talking about taking back to heir endorsements. Trump has not drained the swamp, all he did was jump in.

Yeah.....however, we've been hearing these lies about him for so long that we're tuned out to them now.

We know that Washington's a mess. Anybody would look bad trying to deal with all of the two-faced back-stabbers.

Can't say they are liars. Trumps own words were quite clear on that he topics that are costing him support. He would do well to do what he promised and really drain the swamp. All he is doing now is reaferming the Democrat parties rise from the ashes.

I guess it's fruitless to tell you that everything is not what it seems.

Trump doesn’t have Fox News to back him up. Fox News is working for the enemy now.

5 things learned from Trump's 100-day interview

When you have someone that had no idea how difficult it was to be President tell me he is clueless and can America afford on the job training for the most important job in this nation or even in the world?

I can not say he is a miserable failure because let be factual and admit you along with me did not have high expectations for him, but as you can see now members within his own political party are unwilling to work with him on key issues like the ACA.

So will this change the minds of the red state voters at this moment?

No.

Now after the 2018 elections if there is still massive learning needed to be done by Trump, and the GOP is still having hard time to work with Trump you could see the Democrats rising and taking the Oval Office again, but only if they do not run Clinton or Warren.

Why?

Because by then Trump shine will wear off and Red Staters will be ready to either move on or not vote in 2020.

Just my opinion and hope Trump prove me wrong but so far he has shown he is clueless like me with a teenage girl at a club!

I think there is a lot of horse trading behind the scenes that none of us are privy too.

Likewise, I really think a lot of folks greatly over estimate the power of elections, both in the magnitude of their vote, and in the integrity of the election process.

Regardless of what happens in 2018, the establishment will keep doing what it is going to do, the partisans are largely powerless to affect change.

The lesson of the Trump election should have taught you that by now.

I think part of his appeal may not have even specifically about issues, per se. Part of it was like a primal scream, people who have become so frustrated with the status quo that voting for him was like flipping the bird to the system. If that's the case, the individual decisions and legislation are essentially secondary.

You answered your question right there and Trump was the angry vote that usually goes third party but this time some stayed in the GOP to make sure Clinton would not win!

It had more to do with Clinton than if Trump fulfilled any of his promises and the USSC picks which in my opinion is not going to make the fringe voter happy at all!

Yeah, the fallback for Trump supporters (and really, this applies to pretty much any presidency, both parties) is that, regardless how much he disappoints, they can say "at least he isn't Hillary". I get that.

I was just hoping to squeeze a little intellectual honesty out and there have been some interesting responses. So, success!

Trump's presidency is a little more interesting to me, though, because he's such a loose cannon, and loose cannons certainly can blow up both sides.

Just checking though, YOu did vote for Hilary, right?


Even though she torn this nation apart and completely supported the bullshit narrative, that the Left is currently using to support brown shirt street violence?

I don't have words to describe how much I disliked aligning myself politically with the Regressives by voting for Hillary, seriously.

I would have much preferred to vote third party, but I was going to vote for Hillary if either Trump or Cruz got the nomination.

Politics have been one long, horrific fucking nightmare for me since the day Trump came down that escalator.

If 2020 has Trump running against some lefty that does excuse making for the street violence we have seen in Berkeley, will that be your breaking point with the dems?

In other words, his supporters didn't vote for him because of his policies or promises. They liked his entertainment value. He made them laugh; his speeches didn't put them to sleep. Reality TV star, willing to be rude, talks like a 3rd grader so no one is left out, tweets insults all night long. WHAT'S NOT TO LIKE?

So I could be President!!!

Oh, I was born in Canada to a Scottish\Lebanese mother and Irish\Italian Father, so no damn dice there!

Serious question: Back during the campaign, those of us who were not voting for Trump didn't believe that he'd be able to follow through on a pretty significant percentage of his promises. We were mocked, of course, but now that we know the ACA won't be repealed, that Mexico won't be paying for the wall, that Trump even backed out of requiring WE fund the wall, and that he's softening on NAFTA and NATO and other issues, I'd like to know:

Have you thought about how much leeway you'll give him on his promises before you'd stop supporting him?

Well according to some I am a Trump supporter ( yeah the love I shower that pathetic excuse of human waste ), let me be honest he did not realize the job would be this hard!

5 things learned from Trump's 100-day interview

When you have someone that had no idea how difficult it was to be President tell me he is clueless and can America afford on the job training for the most important job in this nation or even in the world?

I can not say he is a miserable failure because let be factual and admit you along with me did not have high expectations for him, but as you can see now members within his own political party are unwilling to work with him on key issues like the ACA.

So will this change the minds of the red state voters at this moment?

No.

Now after the 2018 elections if there is still massive learning needed to be done by Trump, and the GOP is still having hard time to work with Trump you could see the Democrats rising and taking the Oval Office again, but only if they do not run Clinton or Warren.

Why?

Because by then Trump shine will wear off and Red Staters will be ready to either move on or not vote in 2020.

Just my opinion and hope Trump prove me wrong but so far he has shown he is clueless like me with a teenage girl at a club!

Yeah, there's no way to know.

I'm still trying to get my head around the fact that he would actually say that thing about the job being harder than he expected. The good news is, he'll say or tweet something any second now that will make me forget it.

The better news is, I'm sure that this is all a bad dream and I'll wake up soon.

Nightmare on Elm Street would be a sweet dream compare to this Nightmare this nation is enduring!

I don't feel any disappointment. I just think you folks expect too much from him and don't expect anything from Democrats. So what if they lie to us. We expect that, right?
