How is it possible that Trump got elected?

That nonsense is getting s little old.

Anything good that happens is attributable to whatever Republican President you're defending and anything bad to whatever Democratic President you're attacking.And vice versa. If something good happened during a democratic Administration...it wasn't because of anything the Dem did. If you can find anything good that occurred during a GOP administration (and that takes some looking) the Republican Prsident of course was the reason

 

In other words, Hillary took her election for granted.

 

Who should have been president in your mind?

 

The common man. The military. Veterans. Lower taxes.

 

Apathy?

IMO, President Trump is in office because the apparatus that elects Presidents showed apathy towards the citizens of this country. The vote last November was a result of being ignored. It resulted from everyday Americans becoming fed up with the "swamp", and the gross violations of journalistic ethics demonstrated by the left's MSM partners. It resulted from everyday Americans being called "irredeemably deplorable" by someone who wanted to lead them.

People vote for President because they are hoping for something better, something different. It's been my observation there is never a time that this motivation is more significant than when the economy is down, and life is challenging. How many times does anyone think the public is going to listen to the same false promises and gold lined pontifications from a campaign stump?

President Trump was different. He said things that needed to be said. When attacked for it, he attacked back. That resonates with people.

Hillary won the popular vote because of one massively liberal state. The close votes in other states reflect the times, but it also reflects the defection of voters to this guy who gave as good as he got.

For a brief moment after the election, the left, and their media partners, had a moment of clarity, where they admitted they had become detached from the people and reality. Then, I suppose, they had meetings, did the proverbial "snap out of it" face slaps, and went on the war path again, doubling down on the Culture War they hatched to try and steamroll the public.

So I would suggest the left stop attacking voters. That is a poor way to gain friends. Trump is President because the arrogance and ignorance of the political strategists and MSM partners compelled voters to put him there.

 

They have been lining their pocket while they pretend to fight for ypu

Establishment republicans have no fixed gosls except getting reelected

 

Yes, I know Mac. You hate the Republicans. You don't have to keep posting that. Lucky for you they'll end up losing seats and you can enjoy having the Democrats take control again. It's what you and Trump and the Bannonites wanted.

 

I dont hate republicans

I “are” one myself

But I do literally despise the republican leadership we have now

I wont enjoy seeing democrat control of government

but thats where we’re headed thanks to the do-nothing moderates running the party now

 

Yes, you do. You've been rooting against the GOP since first tossing your support behind the lifelong liberal. You and Trump wanted the GOP destroyed. You're getting your wish.

 

The "nearly 3 million vote" thing is as stupid and worn-out as the "30 million illegal vote" thing.


As for the rest:

 

You are suffering from delusion

And I think nothing I say can reach you

Trump was elected by republicans and is trying to fulfill the agenda that republican voters elected him for

But your moderate republican hero’s in congress would rather do nothing than see trump succeed

And republican voters will punish them for thst in future elections

 

Keep on supporting the lifelong Liberal as he destroys the Republican Party. He'll reward you with a cookie and a job at Mar-A-Lago cleaning toilets. Oh wait - he's given those jobs to immigrants. Never mind.

The moderate Republicans don't want to see Trump succeed. They aren't dumb enough to fall for his liberal bull.

 

The simple answer is the fact that the American voter simply did not want a corrupt crooked serial liar involved in three major scandals. Those scandals were Benghazi, e-mailgate with her home brew computer, and uranium one where some how the Clinton Foundation ended up with another $140,000,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Absolutely true. McConnell, Ryan, Rubio, etc., all pathetic, all sell outs, all completely incapable of legislating beyond their own personal needs. In fact, the only one willing to push back, outside President Trump, was Ted Cruz, and to a degree, Ben Carson. The rest were just spouting more of the same Establishment gobbledygook voters were fed up with.

What's interesting is how their failures, and voters push to return the Republican party to it's roots, has brought out the vitriol and spite from people so disingenuous and hateful, they appear to gladly violate Ronald Reagans 11th commandment. To me, that carves their lack of credibility, and party affiliation, in stone.

 

Trump got elected as a republican

I realize the moderate republicans in congree were expecting and hoping the democrat would win but she lost

And your bitterness over that disappointment is palpable

Moderates like yourself wanted a easy four years with no responsibilities other than begging for scraps from the democrats

But it didnot happen that way

 

Yes, thank you for admitting Trump is a Democrat. Some of us already knew that. We don't support Democrats. We leave it up to you fake Republicans.

 

You got the GOP right asnyway

 

The 2016 election ripped the mask off swamp rats like mcconnell, mccain and ryan who were pretending to be conservatives

Eack election they tried to fool voters into electing them so they could fight with the democrats

But it was all show like pro wrestling on TV

 

Sorry to disappoint you but that was a misspeak

I corrected it to say republican

 

No, you meant what you posted. Trump is a lifelong Democrat. And you're good with that.

 

Exactly. Case in point.

Fight for years to deal with Obamacare, and then fail when handed the reins. What greater demonstration of failure of leadership can there be?

These folks are frauds. Democrats assemble their MSM partners to give pressers, and blatantly lie, alleging things like Republicans want to starve old people and eat black kids for breakfast. And the best these pathetic fools can do in response is to come out and say "My esteemed colleague from across the aisle, who is a friend of mine, blah, blah, blah."

The Republican Party has been harmed by the likes of McConnell, McCain, Rubio, etc.. Electing Boehner as Speaker underscored that fact.

 

Picture of an anti-Hillary.

 

Anti-Hillary's exist within the Democratic party. Ask any Bernie supporter. When it came down to picking either Trump or Hillary, no doubt even many of those "3 million voters" held their noses, swallowed their bile and voted Hillary over Trump. The same goes for many of those who voted Trump. Both are deplorable assh**s. One had a very powerful albeit corrupt political machine. The other had, at the time, a Samsung Galaxy 3 (since rumored to have switched to iPhone for security). Which was the lesser of two evils? The one that won the election.

 

Drumpf was elected by people who were convinced by right wing media that a man with a record of sexual abuse, business practices that were unethical at best and criminal at worst, who ran a foundation that admitted to "self-dealing," who almost single-handedly began the fundamentally racist birther movement, and who had established himself as an inveterate liar was preferable to anyone with a (D) beside their name.

 

Yep, we're all paying the price, but the Trumpettes don't care because the stock market is up. It's unbelievable. I'm sure if there's a market correction it will either be the fault of China or some illegal immigrant.
