Haha, careful there buddy, while I'm all on board the Trump train, broad statements like that don't help either. Obama had to deal with the fallout from the financial collapse and was never really allowed to follow through on any vision he had due to stubborn opposition by Republican controlled houses. He did quite a bit, all things considered, not to mention being a thoroughly decent human being throughout. He shot par.

One of the reasons I find Trump so appealing is that he has already smoked out a lot of the weasels in the Republican party and has a chance to enact real and radical change for the first time in a long time. Nobody wanted to acknowledge Hillary's christmas list of fatal deficiencies as a candidate. The Democrats shot themselves in the foot when the party hierarchy actively canvassed for Hillary and didn't even bother to check how Sanders' supporters might have felt about that. I also admire how Trump defied the media, his own party, Clinton's limitless warchest and the odds to get the presidency. He's going to force a lot of powerful, elite people to look at themselves.

One thing I will say; I hope he doesn't fall in line with Republican orthodoxy and continues being his own man. Obama, for all that I liked him, seemed constrained by the views of his own party and legacy.

Why would I need to be careful when the facts bear me out?

Constrained? He was so constrained that he needed to use more executive actions in history to get around Congress to implement deeply unpopular legislation, most of which wound up in the court system.
 
er - it was the moderates that got the kicking at the ballot box, not the left.


Aye, I think a lot of people underestimate the segment of the disaffected left for who Trump was a more viable candidate. I'm not American, but that's certainly how I felt. Looking around the thread, you can see plenty of others, not least Corbynites like Davek. There's a clamour for radicalism on both sides and only the right are addressing it.
 
Not too bad...won the prev 2 elections and popular vote this time..

Hanging your hat on issues that matter little now not helping your cause.

The Dems are in serious trouble. Massive losses from the WH down through Congress, governorships, state houses, etc....

Yep, the legacy of Obama being utterly repudiated.

But yeah, you won some elections in the past.
 
It's not racist to say that illegals coming over are rapists and criminals and good people. If he was racist against Mexicans he'd be restricting legal immigration wouldn't he?

I have found it very difficult to discern any policies in amongst his rhetoric but the one that he seems to keep going back to is the "wall". Is building a wall to keep Mexicans out not restricting immigration.

Brilliant post this Prev, even though I don't share the Trump enthusiasm
 
if it happens here, it will be because of, not despite, the general public having guns.

it's not like a massive constituency of Germans didn't consent to what happened

Hardly.

The progressive mind state on here is much much worse than I thought.

He did it because the Republicans actively filibustered anything he put forward, just because Obama suggested it. You blame him for doing nothing even though he literally had to resort to executive orders to get anything done because of the party you love. A lot of them are complete and utter children, weasel Ryan chief amongst them. I hope Trump throws him out on his arse. I know you're an unrepentant red no matter what they do, but they're as much a part of the problem as Obama
