In your state, my score card shows that GOPs are after CDs 6 and 10, while DEMs are after CDs 3 and 8. A minimum four out of ten of your the CDs is quite a few.

As an Air Force brat who started 1st grade the year after Sputnick went up, it's always been about Math and Chem/Physics with me .

this is true, the president cannot be challenged on foreign relations with other countries of the world per the USSC Baker vs Carr 1962, because foreign relations is a political question.

That's for sure, Trump will look bad. He took on a job he's unqualified to do. President of the United States isn't an entry-level position- a good politician is required for the job and sitting in the most powerful position in the country while complaining about a lack of co-operation just won't cut it. Didn't work or Obama, won't work for Trump.

And I'm curious- from a conservative point of view, what is the federal government supposed to do to improve the economy?

Which is why I caution that liberals and establishment republicans are playing with fire if they think they can make trump go away by denying him his domestic agenda

Reducing the tax penality for returning overseas profits to the US would help.

A flat tax for business that is low enough to promote job creation.

Reduction in burdonsome regulations

I am not a doctrinare conservative who is against infastructure spending.

Nor am I an economist when you get right down too it.

So I cannot drive the economic bus for you here.

But I think there was great optimism within the business community that scared the **** out of the washington establishment that trump might succeed and make them look bad so now they are determined to deny trump anything that he and they think would help the economy.

The Burn Trump Out Plan goes as follows: Do everything they can to convince folks that Trump is incompetent, that he never intended to do what he said he would, and that America is getting worse with Trump( which is why you will see nothing good come out of Washington anytime soon) so as to break his link with the only political power he has....his supporters in the nation......so that when they impeach him the nation will go along with it, and hopefully not destroy the R party but maybe even then the R's do it.

I might be fixing to give up on politics for the rest of my life.

The real problem for me is how uncivilized and stupid folks have become....sure I know that the collective is very sick so it is not exactly their fault but there is so much YUK! out there...... I feel strongly now a desire to retreat into my gardens and Zen solitude and literature.

Thats what the marxists/anarchists/lefties want us to do is let them run the country without us getting in the way

And sooner or later they would take your garden away from you anyway

They want to take my free mind away from me you know, that is how bad the situation has gotten....I just got told this yet again at DP today.

I dont get to decide for myself I am told, I get to choose off of lists of approved options which are presented to me by my owners as Carlin so often called them.

**** that noise, I learned better than that, I know better than that.....why did we ever let people get so God Damned Stupid?

I have very rarely seen the Conservatives fight for me either....the problem is class, not this partisan game they have us focus on as they rob our pockets.

This diversion that we fall for every time.

Because we are stupid.

A lot of republicans in congress only pretend to be conservatives

And real conservatives are often driven from washngton or beaten down like Ted Cruz was

B ut the alternative is a nation completely run by liberals and that is even worse

Chris Mathews soundbite on a promo I heard today: " Are we ever going to get to the deciding, or are we going to just keep fighting?"

What we are doing is deeply wrecking America.

We have to stop it.

Trump is ruining the economy by destroying confidence in the USA. His nepotism, lying and appointing foxes in every henhouse has left us clueless. In other words, Trump is making the USA look bad.

Our only hope of that is from Comey and the FBI. I still have faith that they will not be swayed from finding the truth and Putin will lose.

LAFFRIOT.

This is called ' liberal wishful thinking"

Check out the graph. Look what happens to that line the second Trump gets elected. Can you say hockey stick?( GUFFAW) It's leveled off,but still way higher than any time during Obama's time.

U.S. Economic Confidence Index (Weekly) | Gallup

There's no secret here. Everything Democrats stand for- 15 dollar minimum wage, higher taxes, unions-are designed to make businesses less profitable.

Perhaps.
Call it whatever you like.
It's shared by Democrats and Republicans alike, including out top Republican leaders.

When Speaker Ryan was asked if he was supporting the Republican nominee for president, Ryan's reply was: "I'm not there yet."

Majority Leader McConnell (R-KY) said this:
"I think it's time for him [Donald Trump ("R"-NY) Republican 2016 presidential candidate] to look like a serious candidate for president." Majority Leader McConnell (R-KY), commenting at a time in the election where it seemed Trump was quite likely to be the Republican nominee, even if it was then doubted he could beat Hillary in the general

Who cares what they
( congress ) think?

The swells in Europe and the faculty lounges in the Ivy league and the editorial room of the NY time all think 'everybody' has lost confidence in Trump as well. It's called the out of touch liberal bubble,and it's why Trump is President

The poll asks the people what THEY think.

The poster claimed Trump was destroying confidence in the USA .Poor guy got his head handed to him by that poll.

Clearly he's spent too much time in the liberal bubble as well ;)
