Can we just do that? I mean, come on. There has to be a way to preserve the Trump who wants to pull out of Syria and send the National Guard to the border from the one who can't keep his finger off his tweeter or is spiraling us into a trade war with China. There has to be.

There's Gorsuch Trump--good. And, then there is hiring Flynn and all those other losers Trump--Bad. Let's simply erase bad Trump and keep the good one.

Thoughts?
 
Trump is Trump.
 
That's like saying "lets separate this kernel of corn, from this really long, smelly turd!"
 
I like some of what Trump does, and I dislike some of what Trump does.... so I guess I already do that... and I would also prefer just good Trump.

No. There are a lot of things Trump has said over the past two years I agree with completely. Problem is, the other half of what he says makes my skin crawl.

I suspect that is exactly how my wife would take the op. Good one though.
 
I am pretty sure that if someone told Trump that they were Trying to split him up into Good Trump and Bad Trump that he would be offended, and think you a fool.

Trump is big into the whole being jazz.

Yeah, stop the whining, and get busy finding a "good Democrat" who can actually beat him so I don't have to look at more of these TDS type threads.
 
Stop confusing Twitter as a credible news outlet. Social media like Twitter and Facebook are just outlets for donkey orifices to say whatever comes to mind without filter. Not just Trump, but any vapid attention whore. The sooner we turn our backs on those cess pools, the quicker we realize that people aren't who they are on these platforms.

Wow, much respect for that one!
And I totally agree.
Democrats have consistently been the party of NO ideas for a while now.
Is that better than being the party of really REALLY BAD ideas?
Maybe, but not for long, it is not sustainable and that's why every time the Dems get back in power, they get drummed right back out again all too soon.

We cannot run on a platform that consists of bashing Trump plus saying "we are BETTER than Trump."
I had drunken uncles that were better than Trump, I have friends who have spoiled rotten nine year olds who are better than Trump. I think my DOG is better than Trump.
So what, who cares? In WHAT WAY are we "better than Trump" aside from "not BEING Trump", that isn't good enough.
We have precious little time to gather together some good ideas and get focused on the issues and we'd better bring the
"A" game or forget it.

It's been often said that Republicans only need one reason to vote FOR a candidate and Democrats only need one reason to NOT vote for a candidate. We cannot afford that luxury this time around.

The perennial "perfect is the enemy of good" nonsense is why we ended up with Trump.

I liked Obama. About 75% of him.

The other 25% really annoyed the Hell out of me but I figure if I like even 65% of what a Prezzy is doing, that's pretty damn good and I should stop complaining and start figuring out how to get Prezzy to come around on the rest instead.
 
There is no such thing as "Good Trump".

The asshole doesn't have a good atom in his body.

It was for Obama. He ran TWO campaigns on "I'm not Bush" and it worked. But that also contributed to the DNC's downfall. "I'm not Bush" became the gold standard playbook of the DNC, and they figured as long as they ran with that playbook, and funneled millions (if not billions) in campaigning, the lemmings would just go with them like they did Obama.

Since that didn't happen, the DNC has been absolutely stumped. How could the playbook not work?? It worked for Obama, why doesn't it work now?? How could Hillary lose?? She followed the playbook! She should have won!

Like I said in other posts. Find a candidate that isn't ultra-left, isn't a crook, isn't a rapist, isn't a megalomaniac, and isn't just a vote whore. Find a candidate who wants to work for ALL citizens. Not just those who side with democrats, or contribute to their campaign. One who won't pigeonhole everyone into neat little groups for a cheap divide-and-conquer. Find a candidate who's not as fake as a three-dollar bill. Find a candidate who won't start wars, but also won't bend over and take it like Obama did. Find that, and you'll landslide the next election.

Trump did not "win" the election. Hillary was rejected by the voters. There's a big difference.

It's not troll bait. He DID run on that, and it worked. People were so foamed at the mouth over Bush, that they'd vote for a piece of wood than another Bush that election. Obama just had to flash those pearly whites, and wave to the crowd. He was (at the time) the least qualified candidate. A senator who barely "senated." Y'all complain about Trump, but at least he's been a businessman. Obama was nothing but a hack community organizer that the DNC made their poster boy.

Word.
 
I too wish the President would only do the things I like and not do the things I don’t like.
 
It would be very difficult.

It would require things like separating the Trump who promised better insurance coverage for everyone at lower cost -- and the president who correctly called the Republicans' healthcare bills "mean" -- from the president who called those same bills wonderful and threatened legislators who wouldn't sign onto them.

He's all over the place. He occasionally says something which could pass as good and then he contradicts himself in a grotesque manner.

In addition to the pure ugliness he wallows in so much of the time.

I disagree. He actually may have good intentions. Selfish intentions, sure. But, good nonetheless.

The problem with Trump is that he literally doesn't believe in anything. I understand that all politicians pander to different groups of voters, but never in history has a politician changed their ENTIRE political platform to appease a group of voters, in their late 60's no less!

I mean, how the hell does Trump go from a Hillary Clinton supporting NYC Democrat, to a "conservative Republican" overnight? It just doesn't happen, especially at such an older age.

Heck, I would respect Trump more if the nonsense he has said he actually believed. But he doesn't believe it, which makes him even more despicable, IMO. He's willing to incite hatred against groups of people to win elections, which is outright evil.

Bush was a "businessman" too, and we saw what a joke that was. Being a "businessman" means nothing. Trump was even less qualified to be president than Obama, with ZERO political or government experience of any form. Obama's resume was slim, but Trump's was nonexistent. Hell, you guys joke about Oprah, but nothing in Trump's resume qualified him to be president, and you still voted for that idiot in the GOP primaries over 16 other candidates. You people CHOSE him to be your leader, and Hillary Clinton had nothing to do with that.

The terms "good" and "selfish" are incompatible, and Trump has never had a good intention in his life.
