I don’t understand people who regret voting for trump

[splendica]

Lincoln abolished slavery. Trump would support slavery.


I feel like you aren't on the up n up on politics.

That's Russian bot talk Mr. Obama.

He's the greatest since Lincoln.

But people better tighten their britches because unless there's a deep societal turnaround, the Demlash will be devastating to the US.

So basically, we better be turning back to God and good sense as Trump is attempting to do, or look out because hell cometh.

I am really struggling to see how you arrive at this conclusion. I am an atheist, so I really don't give a shit about ones religious devotion. But I can not think of a less 'Godly' President than Trump. And given the levels of moral turpitude we have seen out of the office, that is really saying something.

As far as good sense, I guess we are going to see. But taxing less and spending more when you are already in a pretty big fiscal hole, but clearly not in a depression or recession does not really pencil out as good sense.

When he supported Roy More, the serial the pedophile, for Senate, was that a God position or a common sense position?

Just checking because I like to keep things like this straight.

Well growth is really our only play when it comes to the debt. Either that or just cut everything. Then the debate becomes how to stimulate growth. I'd say we tried your way for 8yrs, time to switch it up.

The economy was growing just fine when Obama left office and the rate of growth was escalating. The simple fact is that our tax rates were near historic lows before the tax cut and did not really need to be cut. Simplified certainly, but not cut.

She didn't actually tell constant lies, and in fact, her record shows that she's one of the most honest politicians out there (compare: http://www.politifact.com/personalities/hillary-clinton/ to whomever you want). The FBI said that she did not lie, she opposed the TPP after it was finalized consistently, she was flat broke when she said she was, etc. You're just showing how easily duped you are by political propaganda.

Yeah they bought a 1.7m home in '99 and a 2.8m one in 2000 that they put $850k as a down payment for - "Dead broke" lol

The FBI said she didn't lie? Compare that she said there were no classified emails, then amended it to none that were classified at the time they were sent to the FBI found emails that had classified headers.

She was against TPP after the unions came to talk to her.

As for constantly lie - I seem to remember an incident about taking sniper fire as well. hey but she was just tired and misspoke, right? lol

I'm not saying Trump is any better, but you're going to have a hard time convincing anyone that she's 1 of the most honest politician around - regardless of selective fact checking by politfact.

I understand that it's nearly impossible to convince partisans to look at objective reality, but the facts are what they are. She's not dishonest at all. And the TPP thing doesn't even touch on honesty. You trying to add that in there just shows that you're determined to believe the talking point and don't really care about objective truth.

 

[Toastytoy]

I dont agree with everything trump does, but i dont regret voting for him, LOL at anyone who would vote for a woman for president of the united state.

 

[machidafan99]

What exactly is or isn’t happening that you thought thought would or wouldn’t?

He is exactly who he campaigned to be.

This isn’t a pro or anti trump thread, just don’t understand what he’s done that turned supporters away.

Yes, they are a strange lot, most likely people with liberal friends and are frustrated with being on the outs with their peer group rather than anything substantial.

 

[oleDirtyBast4rd]

It's now on a much worse path, but strangely you're totally OK with that.

Where did I say I was ok with the current setup of spending more then we bring in in taxes? Pretty sure you're just making shit up about me

That proves definitively that you were bullshitting before and that you have no principles or ideas about policy, are not a man, and will just blindly defend the GOP no matter what.

Slow down sweetheart, you haven't proven shit lol

It's like the way you flipped on the electoral college right after the election.

Uhh I'm still against winner takes all you dolt lol.

ok, objective truth:

-She used the private server because she only had 1 cell phone - the FBI found 13 devices associated with her 2 phone numbers.
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/hillary-clinton-doesn-carrying-2-phones-article-1.2144607

http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slat...se_even_more_questionable_given_that_she.html

-The FBI found emails marked classified on her server. But she said she never received or sent anything marked classified.

-The FBI found classified emails forwarded to Anthony Wiener.
https://www.cnn.com/2017/05/03/poli...-forwarding-classified-information/index.html

-The Clintons put a $850k down payment on a house (Whitehaven) at the time you and Hillary believe they were "dead broke".

-Hillary claimed she landed under sniper fire in Bosnia.

-TPP - “This TPP sets the gold standard in trade agreements to open free, transparent, fair trade, the kind of environment that has the rule of law and a level playing field”

Now go sell someone else on her honesty Jack; I ain't buying and I'm not predisposed to just accept talking points.

 

[AFCrookie]

Not really though. Factory jobs left that he promised would stay... he in no way drained any swamp.. he blatantly surrounded himself with lobbyists and special interest group advisors... Mexico's not paying for the wall, which will likely never even be built.

'afternoon Bamboozled,

Trump shouldn't have made it past the primaries, however both parties had awful candidates. I do believe the Republican party was hoping for Rubio as their representative but he was shallow and uninteresting.

well that takes care of Mr. Rubio? i think? are you saying that Mr. Trump showed a mastery of policy issues, therefore making him "unshallow"? could you expand on that?

also, why do you see Senator Cruz or Paul as "awful candidates"? how about Mr. Kasich or Mr. Graham? how were they all so awful?

I don't know the exact numbers but I don't care if the military spending goes up. I do care how it's being spent though.

that's great, that would mean that you don't regret your vote...but scores of Americans drifted from their original pick in the GOP primaries and abandoned their choice as they drifted to the Trump camp. that includes Rand Paul libertarians and fiscal conservatives in general.

those voters may indeed be regretting their decision to back Mr. Trump, can't you see that?

I don't understand how a Christian (vague voter base) would regret their vote.

the evangelical Christian voting base is one of the most unvague ones out there, lol. their position on moral issues is completely unambiguous on extramarital affairs with porn stars, ya know? so, maybe those bible thumpers are a little disenchanted with Donald.

It wasn't Trump who botched ACA repeal. It was the entire party. Any republican would have botched it because republicans didn't actually plan for it.

Mr. Trump told his supporters that healthcare reform would be easy - and he'd come up with something with lower premiums, offered more coverage, with lower deductibles.

I proudly didn't vote for Trump or Hillary!

Trump showed he could sling mud and be entertaining. The only Candidate out of whom you listed who garnered any support was Cruz. Most people considered him a snake.

You're assuming my vote went to Trump. I support him because he's the President. If you abandoned your choice that's on you. If you feel bad because you changed your decision on who to vote for you shouldn't have any remorse. Nobody tricked you into voting Trump.

I don't understand, so a story about a man who allegedly (no proof) slept with a porn star is going to have the same impact on literally every evangelical voter?

I'm sure his team told him that it would be easy.

 

[IGIT]

hey again Bamboozled,

Trump showed he could sling mud and be entertaining.

maybe a few GOP voters who drifted from their own candidate to Mr. Trump during the primaries are realizing, retroactively, that one needs other qualities to be an effective POTUS - and that mudslinging and entertainment aren't the best metrics to use when choosing a President.

Reminder that Hillary and Bernie said they weren't going to to any mudslinging then immediately went after Trump with it and even each other.

[oldshadow]

So far Trump has done nothing to make me regret he won over Hillary and the platform she ran on.

What's the worst that could happen, Trump steps down and the VP takes over. Like that should worry anyone that voted for Trump.

hi again Bamboozled,

what does that have to do with anything? lol.

i don't pay attention to the mudslinging - and a candidate's entertainment quotient doesn't much interest me (if it helps them be a more effective communicator on complex ideas, sure, its great - but i don't really need my POTUS to be an entertaining guy).

i don't know why entertainment value and the ability to fling mud figure so prominently in your metrics, my friend.

if that's all you care about, any 'ol reality show buffoon would do! why, you could elect....

nvm.

heya oleshadow!

i don't think that anyone who voted for Trump finds themselves wishing Hillary Clinton was in the West WIng instead.

the regret, if it exists, is coming from supporters of other candidates in the GOP primary who drifted over to the Trump camp hoping for things like fiscal conservatism, "repeal and replace", foreign policy isolationism, etc.

those sorts of folk are probably not entirely happy about what they're seeing.

But people better tighten their britches because unless there's a deep societal turnaround, the Demlash will be devastating to the US.

I'm actually pretty concerned about that. Trump got voted in there because we had swung so far left it was ridiculous. I'm really concerned about a but of a "revenge" election upcoming. This one was close enough to that as it is.
