The question is, are you unsure about your position when it comes to the Trump Administration or have you settled firmly for or against it?
It seems to me that most of the Forum Membership has taken a stand for one side or the other, either firm opposition or firm support.
Yet we have thread after thread of Anti-Administration and Pro-Administration opinions from several of the most avid opponents/supporters acting as if these posts are changing anyone's minds.
So here we are in the second year of the Administration with the Mid-Terms coming up, and I'd like to see if anyone has no opinion one way or the other.
Why? Hopefully to see how polarized our Forum's microcosm of America is and if there is actually any real wiggle room at this point to justify all the love/hate posts.
Maybe we could turn from that to some more balanced "Focused Issue" posts to debate the merits of specific political actions, rather than the constant 'I hate/I Love" posts flooding the Forum on a daily basis.
So we have four simple options:
NO, I Support the current Administration, and have seen nothing to change my mind.
NO, I Oppose the current Administration, and have seen nothing to change my mind.
I am Indifferent to the current Administration, but am open to persuasion.
Other (Explain).
To open with, I will vote I Support the current Administration for all the reasons I've already posted in this Forum over the past 2 years.
While I recognize President Trump has some faults, including shooting from the hip sometimes without considering what he has said, I also see him as trying his best to actually keep as many of his campaign promises and doing this successfully. That is something rare in past Presidents. So knowing that he is not a smooth-talking "politician," I can forgive that relatively minor problem in exchange for his actions speaking louder than his words.
So what do YOU think?
