A long time ago I decided to vote for trump as a "lesser compromise".  These are the main points I saw in his candidacy.

How's He Doing?

If we all agree that it will be the "lesser of two evils" then, by definition, values would have to be compromised.  If the candidate follows my thinking down the line then he/she would not be an evil.  But that is not the case.  I agree with Hound that Trump is a better option than Cruz, and I almost agree with her on Rubio.  The kid seems unprepared and we have been dealing with unprepared, that led into "Hey, I can screw this county up, and, They really need to like Muslims more".  It is really a matter of the "lesser compromise".

I think Trump will protect 2nd Amendment. 

I think he will not fight for an end to little human murder. 

I think he will go as far as he can with an immigration plan.  (He has run into many, many deals where he bombasts his plan and then has to modify along the way.  But you have to start from a position of strength and work down.  Again unlike current). 

I think he will know who to deal with in an attempt at economic reform.  He knows laws that affect business, trade, taxes and tarriffs.  He knows who and what is laundried off shore.  He knows how and who is avoiding taxes.  He might cut some loopholes.  He will know more about economic policies than anyone we have had in the past.

I think he is not weak, and will not be offended or afraid to surround himself with capable, competent folks.  He has connections, foreign and domestic.

I am not sure what he will do with the tax code.

I think he would not let the likes of Lois Lerner, Eric Holder, Hillary Clinton, Daniel Werfel, and others go unprosecuted.  There may not be sufficient evidence but he would use his resources to check.

I think he would make the GOP establishment go crazy because he would gather leaders of both parties together and say "OK, here's the problem. Divide into two bipartisan groups and each group come up with a solution.  We come back in one weak and one group is fired"

I think he is a caring man, who knows the workers from top to bottom, and helps the plight of each.

I think we would wind up with another John Roberts on the Supreme Court, who, like Trump, has differening opinions on many, many topics.

I think what he lacks in foreign policy and military knowledge and experience, he more than makes up for it in domestic, and has said repeately, "I will listen to the military folks on that.  They know what they are doing"

His current phrase is "common sense conservative"  and I like that.

OK, I think he is the lesser compromise.

Many (most) of his EO's so far are within his power and in keeping with campaign promises. He has already boken all the rules laid down by the D.C. political elite, that to "Go Along to Get Along". Listen to his Republican "friends" crying.

The media would have us believe that the US is on the verge of chaos. Well, some are in chaos. Those who expected business as usual. Especially the media itself.

I give him an A rating so far.

I'm okay with him so far however, I would like to see him slow down the Executive Orders and spend some time thinking before he signs, becasue he has had to walk a few things back a little.  He's making good on his campaign promises, but I would like to see him get more of his nominees confirmed before he charges ahead. 

I really wish he would stop worrying about the popular vote.  He needs to accept that he is the President and stop coming up with massive voter fraud.  I think it makes him look weak and insecure. 

I have no problem with the immigration ban, but I think he could have rolled it out a little better and a little more carefully. 

Charles Schumer and John McCain are bad mouthing him, so he's probably on the right track.

I'm confused as to why Clooney, O'donnell, Schumer, DeNiro, et al. think their opinions matter to me; while they travel on private jets, have body guards & live in homes surrounded by walls & security guards--

I agree with your comments. All of the upper crust you have mentioned including Hollywood movie stars and the like like live in a "fantasy" world and like to say "do as I say" and "not as I do".

They can afford to be  very, very liberal because they don't live in the real world.  Those that went to college were theatre arts and liberal arts majors, so they have no idea about balancing a budget or running a business.  For some reason, George Clooney and his wife really get under my skin - what is he known for other than being good looking?  He's not even a great actor. 

I understand that the SAG awards last night were just full of political commentary and hatred of Donald Trump.  We just need to thank heaven that none of these people will ever run for political office.

One of the biggest question I have about Schumer is that he constantly say "I".  I don't think I have ever heard him say "my constituents".  Just proves my belief that these people get in office and then it is all about them and what they think.  He is just another example why we need term limits.  If people stopped kissing their butts, and giving them perks, maybe they could come back down to Earth and remember why they are there.
