Text of the page (random words):
races have flip flopped since election night and several more hang in the balance pending almost certain litigation or manual recounts rarely do these flip flops end in the favor of the gop or conservatives but we ll take florida and mia love gop loyalists in general and conservatives in particular should not be happy with the overall results not only of this election but also with the successes of the past two years by historic standards the midterms were not disastrous but oh what could have been those two years of unshared government control by the gop have produced some benefits in certain specific areas but overall they also contained real disappointment as the tag team of democrat party operatives and never trumpers thwarted much of what the once conservative party could have achieved had it not been fractured key to this of course is that the now standard bearer of the gop is not a consistent conservative despite his occasional dabblings i understand the never trump movement when the crowded gop field contained 18 different candidates i figured trump was about my 14th choice at that point he was bristling and bombastic and well very trump like but who among us took trump the man seriously enough to take trump the candidate seriously not me but as people on that long list of candidates fell aside week after week and the cream finally rose to the top that cream turned out to be donald trump john kasich and ted cruz it was a three legged stool with three cracked legs each of the three candidates was at least mildly appalled by the other two kasich because he governed like a democrat with his medicaid expansion and big government top down expansionism cruz because he appeared to be a quasi plastic mannequin on those rare moments when he didn t appear to be a robot and trump because of well trump most conservatives supported cruz as did i while trump gathered the populists and kasich collected his closest relatives and those with low self esteem in the aftermath cruz and trump established a rather fragile truce while kasich and both of his supporters grabbed their toys and went home crying those three men loosely represent the largest factions of the gop the never trumper establishment kasich the conservatives cruz and the trump worshipers guess who there is a fair amount of crossover particularly among the establishment and conservative never trumpers within the gop trump s personality his confrontational style and his inability to ever let an insult go unchallenged have poisoned him to many who could have accepted him if he were more unlike himself they would never and will never vote for trump they would rather see hillary in office than be associated with a bloviating mr president but i m not concerned with the 40 percent of americans who get all their news through npr and jim acosta these people already worship the holy state and pray toward dc several times a day conversely nothing short of a good pesticide will ever be able to pry trump s most adoring fans from his train there are those though who were in the 2016 never trumper movement that were more than willing to assess trump s first few years in office before reconsidering a vote for him in a next presidential election they find trump distasteful for many of the reasons already mentioned but they were willing to hear him out this is the group that trump needs to attract into his corner and it is among this group that he has failed the most miserably getting these people on board should have been easy but within trump s personality is its own self contained bumper car pavilion this is the middle 20 percent where trump needs to aim his attention and it is here where his performance has been most disappointing there have been times when trump s approval ratings have inched their way up to the fifty percent mark and then shortly after climbing to the pinnacle trump suffers a self inflicted bite mark that leaves him limping when it gets right down to it that middle 20 percent is the most fickle individually they are looking for specific reasons to support or to withhold support from the governing party and while they are willing to grimace and take sides with a president whose policies they largely agree with they are not so willing to take sides with the most powerful person on the planet who decides to be a bully this group was never likely to switch sides and make a revenge vote but they were and are likely to stay home or vote third party and that is really the problem with the bullies i ve known my whole life its not that it isn t nice to have one in your corner when you re under attack it is because of their overarching needs to be in control rather than to be principled that they cannot be trusted for their judgment try following that guy into battle as a trump voter who is thankful that trump s administration has not been nearly as bad as i feared it might be i wish he was a better man hey i wish he would just go through the effort of trying to appear as if he is a better man there are times when i think he wants to do that he has tweeted that nancy pelosi deserves to be house majority leader he complimented losing midterm democrat candidates for fine campaigns we all know these are contrived efforts but they are efforts and that is what most people want to see from the man effort effort to be civil effort to be self controlled effort to be understanding above all effort to be presidential we ve all been in those situations where when we were attacked our first instinct was to call our attacker a horse face or to tell the former pow a man that sacrificed years of freedom and significant body function for his country that he shouldn t have been captured in the first place most of us don t do this because we abide by a code of conduct this does not mean that we aren t tempted to be a jerk only that on occasion we give in to base instincts but in moments of failure we apologize and try to do better next time if we the common man can expect to control ourselves in these common situations why cannot the man elevated to high office it is a good question one that the middle 20 percent of the voting public will have to answer posted by roug at 10 51 am 0 comments wednesday november 14 2018 trump a transitory president there are two types of people in this world those who have strong opinions on donald trump and zombies i am among the living i am also a conservative who stopped voting in primary elections because i find most democrats are outright socialists and most republicans are strong warriors for conservative principles right up until the second they are elected i was a very reluctant trump voter i changed my mind several times during the process but in the end i voted orange over a write in i voted for trump because my badly bruised ego had mostly healed from all the verbal beatings he launched against ted cruz ted s wife ted s father ted s heritage ted s looks and ted s personality i also hoped that somewhere deep within a trump administration there might be a lonely conservative that could rage against the machine by my way of thinking a conservative had no positive reason to vote for trump unless you consider voting against hillary a positive reason he had no firm political record and only celebrity level musings on the issues of the day he had a lifetime of membership in the democrat party he was boorish mean spirited thin skinned and untrustworthy he and the truth had never been captured in the same photograph so with gnashed teeth and a quick prayer for forgiveness i blackened in the republican circle now we are a full congressional election cycle into his term and the white house staff seems to be in chaos the press is absolute toxic in its coverage of him code pink will be sending an arizona senator to congress postmodernists made gains in the house of representatives and rumors are that trump is skulking about the west wing like a kid kept in from recess oh and then there is his twitter account which it appears to me makes a cell phone in his possession at least as dangerous as the nuclear launch codes it is hard to take a seemingly objective conservative look at this president when he sits in swirls of both earned and contrived controversy and in multiple layers of both honest and idolatrous praise somewhere in between the heavy petting and the poisonous vitriol there lies a more honest assessment of the man and his position in the gop here is mine if nothing else is evident trump has demonstrated to his fellow republicans that spinal constitution can lead to victories on policy democrats have known this all along but the deeply entrenched self loathing gop only elevates members into leadership when they ve earned advanced degrees in the capitulatory sciences we heard it from minority house members that they needed a majority before they could do what they wanted to do they were given that majority then they protested that they needed a senate majority to do what they wanted to do they were given that majority then they whimpered that they needed to have the white house before they could do what they wanted to do when gifted with a republican in the white house self loathing gop office holders found the atmosphere to be too toxic to provide what they promised trump was not to be stalled no other gop president would have achieved tax cuts no other gop president would have pulled out of the paris climate farce no other gop president would have moved the us embassy to jerusalem no other gop president would have jettisoned nafta a mistake and would have engaged in a global trade war another mistake on and on it goes yet trump is a fighter even in situations where he looks ridiculous he tries to stick to his public word even when video tape provides conclusive evidence that he s lying through his teeth he makes no apologies when he should be begging forgiveness he leaves no perceived slight unanswered one wonders what level tirade results on those late evenings in the executive residence when he has trouble slipping on a pajama shirt trump isn t just a mixed bag he s a multi colored bag overstuffed with mixed bags after two years of observation i believe his character flaws are worse than i thought they were on election day but i find that his administration has pursued many more conservative policies than i thought would ever be possible my facial expression here could be described as a grimacing smile my hope is that donald trump is a transitional president for the gop one that bridges the gap between an establishment party that is not so dedicated to its professed principles as to actually pursue them once elected and a party that has learned a lesson from the recent midterm losses that character words honesty temperament and founding principles have impact you don t have to be a jerk to stand up for yourself this is not to be confused with not standing up for yourself at all as was george w bush s wont unfortunately being succinctly trump means needlessly picking on people who are sometimes innocent defenseless sympathetic or all three this is behavior that cannot be excused when children do it and a grown president of the united states should damn well refrain from it too the lesson of trump for a conservative party is that the path ahead is rather straight and narrow but decidedly uphill the principles are already very well defined the individual is sovereign the powers of government are limited our rights come to us from a higher order we are a nation of laws these conservative principles resonate with a sizable portion of the people and should be respected it s going to take a future gop candidate who is willing to stay on the principled road who also has the strength to push uphill trump has displayed to us a willingness to fight for what he believes in even if not the proper tactics for that fight that if possessed by a virtuous candidate bent upon conservative ideals would be a person worth voting for posted by roug at 10 55 pm 0 comments thursday september 07 2017 wealth and hurricanes it was good news to hear that the bransons were able to ride out hurricane irma with neither injuries nor loss of life they survived the maelstrom by hunkering down in the family wine cellar surrounded by their boone s farm and md 2020 collections wealth can do that for you it can provide access to not only the private tropical locations that most of us can only dream about but also in the event of an anthropologically caused climate warming event can provide an alcohol stocked club house from which to experience the challenge juan and francoise unfortunately living in poverty along the northern coast of hispaniola will spend their day clinging to a palm tree that is the way of the world wealth enhances life while poverty lays bare its fragility from the branson subterranean compound billionaire richard branson s son sam tweeted out his thankfulness for survival but also cautioned the world that it must tackle the issue of global climate change it is a lofty goal to be sure and many people on earth and perhaps an even higher percentage of the wealthy certainly counting among them the bransons are highly motivated to make the change fossil fuels and their spewing of carbon are the targets for most of these concerns as a result the entire ethanol industry has been born refinery development has been all but stopped pipelines carrying the fuels are protested delayed and cancelled drilling moratoriums are put in place punitive taxes are put in place the evolving coal industry is shuttered in many places all the while alternative methods of energy are being explored which might bring us right around to ethanol again the designs of all of these programs is to do one thing raise the cost of energy consumption as it was explained to us by president barack obama energy costs must necessarily skyrocket as hillary clinton explained during her hapless limp toward the highest office in the land she wanted to bankrupt the coal industry of course these are negative things to those who work in the coal mines but they also have negative impacts on the users of electricity and gasp this includes most people who cannot afford to buy their own private islands richard branson is the kind of guy i admire for the most part his vision has provided tens of thousands of jobs and paid million and tens of millions of dollars in taxes he is not an enemy of the poor or shouldn t be because the wealth he has generated has paved the way for a better life for many of those who don t even know who he is to a point however when the richard branson family attempts to increase the costs of energy consumption it also without exception retards the ability of millions of those less fortunate to generate the wealth that they will need in the future to do such things as pay electric bills generate wealth and hopefully someday buy private islands al gore owner of multiple private estates ch...
