Trump is methodically pushing ahead with the agenda he campaigned on. That includes:

Nominating judges and justices who can be counted on to interpret and enforce the law but do not endeavor to use the law to promote their social agenda;
Addressing the problem of illegal immigration and securing the borders of the United States;
Developing America’s vast energy resources;
Rolling back the regulatory state, especially the administrative overreach of agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency;
Pursuing policies that put America, and American workers, first, not to the detriment of our relationships with our international partners but through a recognition that strength and sovereign independence make nations more reliable actors;
Restoring the combat readiness and morale of the United States military;
Simplifying the U.S. tax code, making it more competitive for U.S. businesses and more equitable for individuals;
Getting a handle on the unconstitutional and shockingly inefficient monstrosity ironically called the Affordable Care Act;
Putting a stop to the obscene violation of due process that Title IX fanatics brought to college campuses across the country.

And many other initiatives large and small.

Trump is doing what he said he'd do.

Judging by the daily fits his opposition is throwing, I would have to agree.

Liberals seem surprised that he's actually following through in the dismantling of Obama' agenda.

Trump's aim appears to be to destroy everything Obama did out of spite, regardless of the damage to American people.

Or most news sources. I'm not sure if it's something to be too proud about.

I don't think many people on the left think they're winning but Trump is certainly losing

I think simply tearing down is not a good policy. He has no ideas of his own and no solutions that are better. That is not good governing.

Thats just silly. Trumps following through with the campaign promises that got him elected.

Thats how it works, whoever wins the Presidential election gets to implement their agenda. If ppl on the Left wanted their agenda implemented, they should hav run a better candidate.

And as far as hurting the American people ? Hurting the American people and America seemed to the be focus of the Obama agenda.
His agenda is a large part of the reason Trump was elected, and all of the reason the GOP won back the majorities in both Houses, and picked up 14 new Governors along the way

Trump is doing what he can do.[allowing cross state insurance, stopping payments to prop up insurance companies, etc] Congress is the one that shows no leadership, ideas or the ability to agree.

Partisan nonsense. The Democrats and the Obama administration did the tearing down, especially when it came to our Heathcare system.

Trumps trying to piece it back together as much as he can without waiting on a dysfunctional GOP Congress to get their **** together

I tell you what, you keep linking to Left wing polling sites that confirm your bias, and Trump will continue to dismantle his predeccesors disastrous legacy, ok ?

Thats what I gather from people on the left too. Most the lefties I know understand they gotta get some things together to be more persuasive and active. They also understand that even though trump is helping them by losing they can not depend on that and be complacent. Thats their problem sometimes, they depend to much on the obvious and it fails.
 
One side puts forward a questionable argument from a clearly biased source, and the other side offers no counters other than juvenile insults and retorts. This is politics in 2017.

Trump hasn't done nearly as much as you he claimed he would, but has hasn't been a complete "failure" as it relates to his stated goals upon taking office. For example, Trump getting a "handle" on Obamacare at this point is far out of line with is campaign rhetoric.

This statement best exemplifies how I see the Progressive-Left dealing with the current political situation:

[A] defining irony of the contemporary progressive ( one cannot truthfully call it “liberal” ) dispensation: convinced that their opinions represent not their opinions but, on the contrary, that they mirror a virtuous state of nature, they regard dissent not as disagreement but as either heresy or insanity. The former calls for condemnation or ostracism, the latter for pity tinctured by contempt.

I could not agree more. Thanks.

No one is winning. The country is sliding toward the drain. Trump is accomplishing next to nothing. He is deferring leadership at every turn. He just deferred it on Iran after half undoing the agreement. He deferred on DACA after half rolling back the program. He threw a bomb into Obamacare, hurting the program without fixing or replacing any part of it and endangering health care for millions of people in the process. He baits North Korea with his big mouth, showing everyone how to be the opposite of Teddy Roosevelt....no one is winning.

Proud about? No, just very sad that they have almost all become literally gossip columns with almost no integrity, truth, or balance any more.

Oh for the days of Walter Cronkite and Edward R. Murrow. :coffeepap:

We have gone over this again and again and again and you still are refusing to be honest. Clinton did indeed whoop trumps ass in the general election the polls were correct. My link actually quoted quite a variety of polls so you just again aren't understanding what's going on.
