It's not going to happen, this is going to die like many other road blocks, er, acts of wishful retaliation.



Not sure how but I think he'll get caught everybody's watching.

I know in your mind, it's a much different story, but just take a step back and show a little empathy. Believe it or not, just about half of the country was as unhappy about Obama 8 years ago as you are about Trump right now.

I hope you're wrong about Trump. This was the first time I voted for a President and was actually kind of excited about it. I do not consider myself a stupid or gullible person.

J.D. Vance, a Republican in a family of Trump voters, explains Trump to cleveland.com. I think J.D. knows Trump. Maybe J.D. can explain Trump to you so you understand Trump the way I do?

_vanc.html


cleveland.com : You said you expected Trump to win the nomination. What did you see that we missed?

J.D. Vance: I've been arguing for four or five years that the Republican party has to get better when it comes to working-class policy. I have been waiting for someone to come along and tap into that very real frustration that exists in a very large segment of the working-class Republican base. And no one had done it until Donald Trump. I very clearly saw a void, and I knew somebody would fill it. And the moment I knew he had filled it, I knew he would win the nomination.

cleveland.com : You're a Republican, but you didn't vote for Trump. Why not? (Vance instead voted for Evan McMullin, an independent candidate supported by anti-Trump conservatives.)

JDV: A couple of reasons. He used rhetoric that's not in the best interest of the party or country. I happen to think that conservatism, when properly applied to the 21st Century, could actually help everybody. And the message of Trump's campaign was obviously not super-appealing to Latino Americans, black Americans and so forth. That really bothered me.

In some ways even more importantly than that, while I think Trump had clearly diagnosed very real problems, I didn't see any real evidence that he had much in the way of positive solutions that would address a lot of these concerns. ... I'm sort of taking a wait-and-see approach, but if he doesn't provide solutions, that's going to leave people in an even worse position than they were four years ago.

cleveland.com : One writer (Salena Zito, in a piece for The Atlantic) observed that Trump's working-class supporters took him seriously, but not literally. Is that an apt analysis?

JDV: I think it's very perceptive. Almost my entire family voted for Trump. I love them dearly. I think it very well describes what they saw when they watched Donald Trump. There's an element where it's like, 'Can people not take a joke?'

A lot of people listen to Donald Trump and they think, 'Of course a guy who talks like that is not being serious. Of course we're not going to deport 12 million people. Of course we're not going to ban an entire religion from coming into the country. He's clearly just spouting off, so we're going to give him a pass on that.'

cleveland.com : What ideally will your new Ohio organization accomplish? What's the mission?

JDV: I have this metaphor in the book: We shouldn't be thinking about whether we can completely solve problems. We should be thinking about whether we can put our thumb on the scale to make them better. I always think we're going to have domestic violence. We're always going to have people addicted to drugs. But I think maybe we can get some of these trends moving in the opposite direction. The big picture is that I want to work on a few of the problems identified in the book and how we might start to make things a little bit better. . . .

I'm not taking J.D.Vance's wait-and-see approach because I'm familiar with Little Trump wannabes in Texas. They disappointed me, so I'm hostile toward Big Trump.

That's what I'm doing is all I'm saying.

I'm sure there were people outside of the RWED the last 8 years trying to convince you that Obama was a terrible president, but you didn't listen after 8 years. There were plenty of articles about it.

I'm not about to change my mind about Trump because some random republican didn't vote for Trump, cause "reasons".

He's not even President yet. You're just pissin' in my Corn Flakes right now.

And maybe a Nigerian emailer really did pay off someone, somewhere, who dared to respond.

Trump was spouting bull even in 1973 when he sued the US Government for $100 million. He lost but Trump showed the world who he really was long before 6ixStringJack was born. Meet Donald Trump - 1973 www.nytimes.com/times-insider/2015/07/30/1973-meet-donald-trump/

President-elect Donald Trump (Alec Baldwin) holds his first press conference since getting elected.


Real Donald Trump press conferences are a satire, too!

Trump vows ‘insurance for everybody’ in Obamacare replacement plan

His health care plan, which is almost down to the "final strokes," will provide "insurance for everyone."

I can't wait to see Trump's health care plan, which is apparently going to provide far better coverage than Obamacare and cost a lot less. Whatever it turns out to be, I'll bet Democrats will be kicking themselves for not thinking of it first.

I don't know... I couldn't be arsed to watch it. I was really just making a joke about showing videos that are older than I am.

Kind of funny seeing him smoking cigarettes though.

Plain and simple; he will join Nixon in the annals of Stupid Fucking Moves...........End of Story.




I'd buy some of that. I joked with my wife that he might not make it to his inauguration (and he still might not). But that might have been the Boonesfarm talking.
