I fully agree with the voter ID concept ..IF it is used correctly. Also, voter monitor people , it should be simple enough ..go to Walmart and learn how to improve things at the booth ...and Walmart is FAR from perfect .
As to the percentages .... maybe 1 to 2% is closer to the truth(the painful truth)

Oh really, his most significant EO just got blown out of the water as it was so poorly written, so much for surronding himself with the best.

What do you mean by presidential? There are some Republicans who actually are more racist and bigoted than Trump but they would be more "presidential". Would that be satisfactory to you?

I remember Truman thru Obama ..they conduct themselves as gentlemen, at least most of the time .. I look up to them (Roosevelt, Bush the elder, Reagan, Ford , even Nixon) ...Bigotry, racism - this affects all of us - and most of us keeps this under control .
Satisfactory ? to me , nothing is 100% ideal .

At least half of Trump's supporters think that the Bowling Green Massacre justifies Trump's Muslim ban. Just sayin'.

Do you have a link for anything in that post?

What was happening in Washington DC, particularly in the White House, while the good folks sent to Benghazi were being massacred over that 13 hour period?

Yeah that muslim ban went well for him didn't it?

What planet do you live on? Sure he's forced his cabinet picks through thanks to repubican control of the house and senate but what happens when he really had to govern? I suspect the rats will jump the ship at some point anyway when they can't take his looney toons anymore.

The house has exactly nothing to do with approving Cabinet Appointments.

Harry Reid had much more to do with the appointees getting approved than the Senate majority.

He doesn't even have his cabinet in place yet thanks to the obstructionism of the Dems. How can you have any clue on what his governing style will be?

So far, he seems to be pretty direct and communicative.

I've always like those qualities in my bosses.

The ones I have never liked are the ones that lie to my face and then go about doing something else.

I feel that it is important for the President to act diplomatically, tactfully, and respectfully.

Do you think Trump meets this standard?

None of your poll options were suitable for my opinion on this and you didn't allow for an 'other' response.

If the intent of your OP was "should Trump act like all other presidents" my answer would be no. He was elected by 62 million voters who know that 'business as usual' and the 'status quo' have let us down miserably. Trump was the anti-partisan choice. Trump was the anti-establishment choice. Trump was the non-permanent political class choice. Trump was the anti-status quo choice.

And so far that is what he is delivering. He is the first President in my very long memory now who from Day #1 started delivering on his campaign promises.

He deserves every chance to see what he can do and, unless he is very obviously acting illegally, I think honorable Americans will give him that chance. And if he can deliver on his campaign promises and help us all make American greater, stronger, more prosperous, and safer, I don't care how untactful or undiplomatic (according to somebody else's definition) he is.

Oh, indeed. Please point me to criticisms of how President Trump has behaved when meeting with foreign leaders.

Or does "paying attention" mean reading up on Twitter? ;)
Click to expand...

You can read his tweets, hear his speeches and see how he behaves in the office. You do not need a middleman to help you understand Trump.

If you than want the analysis of the middleman to challenge or affirm your observations, solicit the opinion of lots of middlemen.
 
Everything Trump does is presidential because he's the president.

by the ''hero'' himself , 37 two dollar votes
American record keeping .. 99.99% perfect .. allowing for thousands of illegal votes.
But not quite enough to change an election , I think .
and the 3 million for Mrs Clinton ? maybe .. the system does need work !

Eh. Clumsy wording. I should have gone with "46% of the country that wants him impeached."



Sorry to hear about your carpenter ant problem. Hope you were able to deal with them.

Thank you for your kind words on the Carpenter Ants. They're pretty easy to kill once you know where they are. Pretty cheap, also. Bought a house with the things already there. The house was pretty neglected and this was one of the bad things included.

After two years, the ants are gone and remodels is almost completed. It's been fun and educational.

Do you have a link to the "46% of the country that wants him impeached"?

Do these 46% understand that they will need a whole bunch more %'s to accomplish their goals?

Seems to me they should concentrate more strongly on the 25 seats in the Senate they will need to defend in 2018. If they are successful in defending an astonishing 68%, 17, and lose only 8 seats, they could be in very deep do-do.

Greetings, AlbuOwl. :2wave:

Since he was being attacked by the lefties before he was even inaugurated, they must fear him and what he may be able to accomplish! I find that both very informative and interesting, and although I voted for someone else, he has my support and I do wish him well in his stubbornness to accomplish what he promised to do in spite of everything being thrown at him! How refreshing! :applaud
 
Cardinal said:
Can you quote somebody claiming that "there has never been a case proven that anyone ever voting illegally in an American election"? Because I don't ever remember seeing that claim myself.
Click to expand...

In various debates on this point, there have been various comments that say this. And, no, I did not save links to any of those posts.

Of course, in our system, if the winner wins, why would he challenge the results? The loser may want to challenge the results, but has no power to investigate so nothing happens.

As with so many things, Trump is doing the unusual. He won and he is investigating. Not very politically savvy.

The stance of many is the problem is a myth. Others say it's so inconsequential that nothing need be done.

In the Headline, your claim is destroyed.

You said half of Trump supporters and the title of the link and the headline in the link says half of travel ban supporters.

Just to clarify for those who haven't been following closely, it is not my claim. I simply provided a link. All the pieces I found on this referred to the same poll.

Hi Polgara. I so appreciate that.

I had to do a lot of soul searching and praying before I cast my vote in this election. And my choice may have cost me a few fair weather friends as well as the esteem and affection of one or two family members who so loathed our President that they now seemingly loathe me. (I presume they'll come around on that eventually but oh well.) Of course they would have deemed me intolerant if I had chided them personally for voting for Obama or Hillary. And I will not bother to express my personal opinion of people who base their affections on politics. :)

Ultimately it came down to a couple of things. One, I was absolutely certain and convinced on every important basis that Hillary was the wrong choice, wrong for America. And outside of Hillary or Trump, I knew my vote was wasted on candidates I didn't want to be President either.

So would I vote for Trump? Or not vote at all? But every time I seriously thought about it I could think of more reasons to vote Trump than I could come up with reasons not to vote Trump. All the reasons on the pro side were things I wanted in a President. And all the reasons on the other side had nothing to do with his job as President.

So I voted Trump. I have not second guessed or regretted that choice yet.

I've stated repeatedly that if a fair, impartial and entirely bipartisan committee were set up to investigate the state of the electoral process as a whole (and not just the pet faves of Trump and Co.) I would absolutely come out in support of that. This little kangaroo investigation that Trump has sent Pence out to handle, however, is a transparent joke set up as nothing more than to give Trump the results he wants to assuage his vanity.

Evidence wise for voter fraud, nothing has come to light to suggest it's a statistical problem. The idea that it is an endemic problem remains a fancy of the right who are just looking for excuses to suppress the vote of "undesirables."
 
sorry; can't vote in the poll here because the poll only list replies for Democrap, or Repugnantklan :2wave:

AFA Trump's behavior as President = I don't think he acts appropriately :2razz:
