Not if you don't obsess over it, and roll with the punches, like those of us to the right have had to do these last 8 years.
There's going to be a lot of punches on both sides of the aisle the next 4 years.
I am not a Trump cheerleader. The man has left a bad taste in my mouth. It wasn't until the last few weeks of his campaign that I felt I could vote for the man. He veered further right. His promise to appoint jurists in the mold of Scalia to the Supreme Court from a specific list that gave me a reason to vote for him and against Hillary. You see I know how the left operate. If they had full control of the court in their favor, this Republic would be lost for good. Their view that the Constitution is a living breathing document that can be made to mean anything they want on any given day, well that spells trouble. For what the left can not accomplish at the ballot box, they seek the courts by judge shopping to implement what they desire.
But there is already trouble ahead because it will take the Senate using the Nuclear option or Constitutional option if you will, to get these appointees confirmed. But that jackass McConnell is already signaling he does not want to use the Constitutional option. He today also stated he his not on board for tax cuts because of the debt. You know the damn debt isn't going to get paid down till McConnell stops helping to pass ridiculous spending and cut corporate taxes that will fuel the economy producing more jobs so more people pay more taxes.
Already we are seeing the left wanting to make Trumps win look illegitimate. You know Obama has politicized every damn department and agency in our government. And our intelligence agencies have not been spared. Look how the intelligence agencies avoided, stalled and down right AVOIDED and PROTECTED Clinton and Obama! Our intelligence agencies have been compromised.
Right now we keep hearing about Russia trying to interfere in our election process. If they have proof that it was Russians that were behind the WikiLeaks of the DNC and Podesta's emails, why didn't they produce it prior to the election? Why now? I just read the CIA and the FBI are not on the same page ready to claim it was Russia. I heard John Bolton say it could be a false flag. But man is the left ever already to run with it without forensic evidence. If there is forensic evidence, why isn't it being produced? Lots of allegations and no one has produced an ounce of evidence. Why?
But if it is true that Russia is involved or any other country, it needs to be followed through with consequences. For this violates our sovereignty and our Constitution.
So yeah, it is going to be a bumpy four years from the left and the right. Trump will face woes in the party he belongs because Republican establishment types like Mitch McConnell are not going to help him if it cramps their style. Constitutionalist Conservatives are not going to be any assistance to Trump on his trade ideas that sound like something Bernie Sanders would approve.
Right now I see Trump stopping the bleeding that Obama has created in his 8 years. I like some of the cabinet picks Trump has made. I think Sessions would be a fine Atty General. Pruitt is a great choice for the EPA. Pompeo is a fine pick for CIA and a couple of others like Kelly and Mad Dog Mattis. Af
In the meantime I am hoping for a Convention of States Article 5. After this election Republicans made greater gains in state and local offices. Now is the time to push for Article 5 because that is where restoring our Republic lies. It truly is our only hope.
