There are a lot of people posting here that weren't around back then, so they just don't know. Here's an opportunity for a learning experience. Buftex - I call you out specifically because you are well aware of this yet you jump into random threads echoing the "Trumptard" label yourself.

It's amazing how so few of us wanted Trump in the primary but how many of us voted for Trump against Hillary. As much as many of us don't like Trump's personality I think that there are many who like him as president. With all that's working against him he's done a superb job. Reagan lacked the narcissism of Trump but putting that aside they have a lot of the same qualities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See above... Get over it. Tell the posters that you can't stand Trump, let them pronounce that Kamala Harris has a 5 point lead then vote for him as he wins by 10%. You characterize Trump as a Rex Ryan type. I've always thought of him as "The Coach" (Chuck Dickerson). A really reasonable and affable person until the cameras appeared. I think Trump makes his sober decisions in private and then turns on his Apprentice persona for the cameras. In the big picture his public persona doesn't mean jackshit. If you like the results, learn to tolerate the person. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See above... But the narcissism is the best part. Think about it. Did you not just spend eight years with the single most narcissistic president in recent history? Obama was the first to take credit for good and the first to cast blame for bad. It didn't matter if it was National Donut Day, Barry would post a picture of himself next to a donut. People criticized him for his narcissism, and the left pushed back. Now they're crapping purple Twinkies every freaking day, and if someone in the WH is going to be a narcissist, how great is it that he is keeping alive the single greatest political meltdown ever. It's been over a year and they STILL can't stop peeing their pants. It's glorious. People like Buftex can't help themselves because they literally have nowhere to go but straight to "You're all a bunch of Trumptards!" Trump is a narcissistic pig. But let the pig do his work and enjoy the meltdown. Edited June 13, 2018 by LABillzFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or to Putin's oligarch pals who are under some of the most targeted and crippling sanctions ever doled out on an individual level. Or to the people of Iran who are entering in their seventh month of protesting a regime and are receiving open support from the United States. No one is standing up "to our friends", but someone is standing up for us. It's perfectly reasonable to question the negotiating tactics being employed by this administration, don't misunderstand me. It's just completely inaccurate to suggest (or outright state) that US policy has somehow gotten easier on our enemies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is tough to find any decent candidate who isn't completely put off by the daily probe/grind that is fifteen months of presidential electioneering. What "normal" competent person wants to put up with that? The way things were going in DC since Bush beat Gore - if I had to trade one for the other I would trade upheaval and results over a politically correct career politician with results. Hopefully things normalize after Trump is done. But at least he's shown that (in his weird and off-putting way) you don't need a Prsident who isn't afraid to change the regular m.o. And it has been pointed out a lot around here that the side benefit is a return to checks and balances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
