Trumps team and cabinet picks so far should give you an idea of how hes going to govern....

Pence, Bannon, Preibus, Sessions, Pomao,, Flint , DeVoss, Haley.....So sounds like hes staying pretty true to his commitment to the Conservative ideology.
 
If we've learned anything from the last 8 years it's that there's no longer such a thing as a "flip flop". That term was changed to the now accepted "opinion has evolved". Thanks Obama.

I thought that was A liberal lie. I guess you guys buy it now. Any excuse for the Holy One.
 
As usual, the thread is just fun to see the worshippers show up to make lame excuses.

How can it be a lie when the Obama's and the media bought into the entire "evolving" meme?

There's nothing to "buy" - you guys accepted it from go, now all of a sudden it's no longer good.... hypocrites, thy name is Democrat.
 
He'll have turned the entire GOP into Democrats by the end of this. That's pretty remarkable.

And now it's suddenly acceptable to the right. Oh, but that's not hypocrisy.

Please. Part of the problem is folks like you who have been brainwashed by one or the other party. Though I guess that doesn't happen to Republicans.

Oh please if it was anybody else democrat or republican, but namely republican, the alt-right would be hounding them and calling them a RINO at the very least and for their head on a stake at the most. I've seen it all the past four years ever since Romney. No one with a record on immigration was worthy to the alt-right. Then Trump comes along and says he's going to build a wall and the right automatically accepts this as fact. This has nothing to do with Obama, plus Obama only officially evolved one stance. Trump never evolved anything. He just went back to what he really believes. He much too obviously preaches to the crowd and is not a Republican!

Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, and Ted Cruz saw through it.

Well the alt-right hates every other Republican in office anyway. So it was coming sooner or later.

It was never unacceptable, just curious how changing a definition and all the liberals nod in unison, but now, not so much.

Sure it happens, but never so much in unison and lock step like Democrats. You guys are the masters.

I have no illusion that Trump is a dye in the wool Conservative, he's not. In fact he's closer to a Democrat than anything else. Not sure why the left (of which I assume you're not part of since you self identify as a Moderate.... ahem....) is so agitated. He was a Dem for decades, now he's public enemy number one. Funny how that happens eh?

In the manner of which you speak? He was able to scare both bases up pretty well. That's why the left believes him, they bought his bull too. I never wanted a charlatan who only knows how to manipulate the media to be our President. He is not the savior or the destroyer for the left or the right. Though he is still dangerous in the sense that he will be easily manipulated by our enemies.

Then both bases need to listen to the people and they won't have to get scared.

Then you couldn't vote for either candidate.

He's no more or less dangerous than any other President in our history.

1. Both bases are people too. We don't have robots voting here.
2. I didn't.
3. We'll see.

And both parties did not listen. The result = Trump as President. :shrug:
Then you really have no standing to complain either way.
Apparently you buy into the left wing fear mongering. That's too bad.

Eh there were more than two choices out there. And I'm not talking about libertarian or green party either.
Taking a wait and see approach to see how well a President does is not fear mongering.

You stated he was dangerous because he can be manipulated by our enemies.... any President can be manipulated by our enemies, therefore, the fear you have is not only unfounded (it's 50+ days until he's sworn in) it's fictitious. Let me ask: Were you this fearful about another President who had no executive experience and had an equal chance to be manipulated by our enemies, Barack Obama?

I am less certain of how Trump will govern than I was before the election. He appointed friends, family, and a few critics who could otherwise give him trouble. His picks are people with little to no experience working in the federal government, which is as outsider as you can get.
