Pretty sure those are the same things but the dude makes money for a reason.

Oh you're saying Matilda's father (Danny DeVito) said it right? "Of course it's cheating! No one ever got rich being honest..."
One of my favorite quotes actually, far as fictional character quotes go.

Yea, it is written in the Book of Cyril...
As opposed to the last 8 years, when Republicans were all proactive solution seekers who never criticised anything without having something better to offer.
Hey, here's a wild idea! Maybe politically motivated obtuseness and contraryness is a bad thing whichever side does it!

This has been my whole issue with Trump actually
. It is actually 99.99% of my issue with Trump in that to be a businessman you must display hyper bravado and be very cut throat oppose to being a politician. Politicians are expected although do not often comply with the notion of being a public servant and there at the expense of somebody else.Essentially I just think that Trump cannot get his big, giant, throbbing, hard, erect :
EGO

I don't think I'll ever be able to forget the wild claims about Obama, that ranged from:
"He's a Muslim terrorist born in Kenya" to "Michelle's transgender, and their daughters are adopted"
"He's a Muslim terrorist born in Kenya" to "Michelle's transgender, and their daughters are adopted"

I'm still waiting for the legions of people on the religious far right who literally claimed Obama was the literal Antichrist to get back to us about how they were mistaken and have learned from the experience.
Now you sound like a libertarian.

In my experience, conservatives don't admit when they were wrong about a prediction. Like when they said he was going to take everyone's guns.
I couldn't believe when my niece came from school one day saying the teacher told her Hillary Clinton would take everyone's guns if elected. I told my niece I'm not telling her to go call her teacher wrong, but a school teacher should know better- that the Constitution doesn't give the president power to take guns.
Obama the anti-christ.....Trump the god-emperor...people
who say such things get far too much attention.

There is the family business, he sells his name, scams people, and when he files bankruptcy he makes sure he's the only one involved who isn't injured.

The reminds me of what the grape said when it was being crushed. Actually, it didn't say anything, it just gave out a little whine.

I don't think difficulty with acknowledgement of mistakes is limited to any particular "side" (and for the record, I'm a conservative and actually pretty vocal about some of our collective mistakes, particularly Middle Eastern policy) but some of the predictions invoking Obama as some sort of Manchurian candidate Muslim Communist Antichrist terrorist America destroyer were ridiculously crazy, and the failure of the people who made or believed them to acknowledge that with benefit of hindsight is a damning indictment of them.
That said, bad as Trump is, some of the claims and predictions being made about him today are treading toward similar territory, IMHO.

Sure, I understand. I also wonder if you grant that some of the claims like his seeming racism are legitimate? I am a pretty objective person, and I watched Trump say things and rile up his rally with comments I would have to call racist.

If you can read this, you are as lucky as I am.
Wow, this was super easy to find. 2017 was a busy year.
Tax reform:
Democrats unveil tax plan that, unlike GOP’s, would actually help working families
Infrastructure:

Health Care:
Democrats introduce public option health care bill
And of course protecting the numerous regulations and reforms that Trump and the Pubs have decide to revoke because "coal jobs."
No, it's not all whining, so you can stop whining about all the whining.

Well, as for Trump personally, I don't claim to know what he thinks, but he sure gives the impression of being racist, but even if he, personally, isn't racist, he certainly and deliberately appeals to racists.
Plenty of the claims about him are true, don't get me wrong. I'm just saying that there is a certain degree of pronouncing the worst possible imaginary scenario as fact among some of his detractors, much like there was with Obama... although in fairness, I've yet to see the anti-Trump doomagougues reach quite the same heights of paranoia and conspiracy as the anti Obama ones managed.

Ha, ha, ha, ha.
Brilliant, absolutely brilliant - so are you suggesting Democrats follow in the spirit of cooperation that the GOP had during the Obama years.
Hypocrisy at its best.
To me it seems like a rather trivial question with an obvious answer.
Maybe it helps to be at a distance?
