What? The lady is against murder.
 
I know an Estonian guy who is, and three Romanians. Then we have one Latino and one Anglo-American who I also know, even an ARAB, so yeah.

I've been around a long, long time. I don't remember any president having a direct effect on my life. My life is the same today as it was under Obama or Bush or Bill Clinton back to Eisenhower as I was born right after WWII. My ups and downs were mostly if not entirely due to my own decisions, choices and actions. Not really influenced by anyone president.

Now each of those presidents did some things I was in favor of, somethings I was against. I never viewed any president as the savior of the nation or the devil who is out to destroy this nation. They come and go and life goes on. I don't like Trump personally, I think his obnoxious, egotistical, uncouth behavior is below the dignity of the office of the presidency. But like every president before him, he has done some things I like and some I don't.

My location says it all. I definitely have some friends that are Trump supporters.

Actually, I have been bombarded with proof that what we call left wing policies are actually quite rational and work very well. I spend decades abroad and saw the results of left wing policies, I prefer them to idealistic Randian clap trap about a fake history of America and an irrational movement started by rich patricians like Buckley. When conservative ideas work, I support them. The only problem is that they never, ever work so I discard them. The left in America is actually right of most conservative factions abroad, we do not have a leftist party here, we have a sliding scale of Republicanism moving ever further to the right politically and economically while the nation itself moves further and further left socially and intellectually.
 
If you don't have one pro trump friend you are extremely limited in who you associate with. It would be the same if I didn't have 1 pro Obama friend.

Well, it was like he wasn't there three years ago. But it was never a choice between Obama and Trump. If I were an Obama supporter I sure as hell wouldn't be quiet, watching Trump drag the Presidency into the gutter. I'd be vocal as all get-out.
Damn. The GOP got so locked-in to opposition against Obama, so hardwired into "No!" that they're incapable of governing now.
Unless you're a blinkered Trump supporter you really shouldn't bring up any speculation about how history will treat him compared to Obama, for all Obama was unable to do the necessary politics.

I have a very near and dear family member who is pro Trump. To his credit, he believes Trump is a buffoon, but he likes some of the policy. This is the only family member of this affiliation, so the holiday gatherings of the last few years have been "politics off limits." Trump is not worth family fighting imo.

Most of my friends feel much the same as I do about Trump :thumb down I have a group of people I play bridge with...about 40% Trump supporters of various intensity. My experience has been that the 60% who do not like him do not discuss politics in "mixed company" The Trumpians never miss an opportunity to try to start a row. Usually of the "victimhood" variety. I usually smile vaguely at their comments. It is not really worth the time, I'd rather play cards.
 
We all have Trump friends, they have been hiding recently but they are still there. Most of them keep to themselves since shame has crept up on them in public settings. Some though do proclaim Trump banalities in public or over drinks. There is the guy who has never cracked open a biology book proclaiming loudly that climate change is a hoax. The other guy who says Mexicans are ruining the nation while living in wine country, horse country and a huge agricultural economy. This guy sees plants and no Mexicans when he drives around, have no idea how he misses the workers but that is his story and he is sticking to it. Then we have the macro economic experts who last took macro in 81 and whose education since then has been on CNBC or Bloomberg. He has no clue how the macro economy works because he proudly admits it is like his household budget. You have the anti-liberals, these people are likely on pensions given to them by unions but they never figure out the connections, they just blurt out inanities. You have your anti-regulations folks, they hate the EPA but can never specify what regulation drives them nuts, its just "regulations". Lastly we have the conspiracy folks, they see a worldwide cabal of sinister leftists running the world to take Jesus or patriotism out of Murica. You cannot talk to these folks, they are too busy prepping for the apocalypse.

The left is living in a fantasy suggesting that everyone hates Trump and they are headed for a massive wave election in 2018. At the same time, they are frustrated that Trump's base has not turned on him. Deep down, they are very concerned.

It depends on how you look at and view the world. I just watched Chris Wallace interview the French president a few days ago, a country ripe with liberalism, and was stunned to hear that their unemployment rate was around 9% and voters voted in a nationalist president somewhat similar to Trump with conservative ideas to fix things. There is much more to life than social policies. The world is also full of economics and world affairs, none of which fare well under liberal policies. Many liberals view things with blinders on, only seeing social issues. But, social issues also include unemployment rates as France is finding out. Liberal policies have destroyed many places, Greece being the most obvious one. And, in many other European countries, such as Germany, the very far right are making comebacks because liberalism has not worked.

What!!! The lady should find out if Trump was always so Anti-abortion. Tabloids report it's possible he somewhat supported the practice, when convenient.

Doesn't matter. The lady is against the murder of babies. So, you think this lady should vote for a Democratic pro-abortion candidate just because Trump may have been for abortion in the past? Trump appointed Gorsuch to the court.

Murder is a legal term. I suggest you revisit your case law.

I suggest you debate honestly. Many people don't vote Democrat because they are against the murder of babies, no matter how you want to legally define it.

And many of those people will stay home on election day because they hate pornography and everyone associated with it.

Dream on. People were partly driven to the polls to vote for Trump in 2016 solely based on the baby killing issue. Being anti-murder they will vote for all of Trump's faults just to keep the Democratic baby killers out of office because murder is far far worse than the worst thing that Trump has ever done.
