And to top it off, everybody in the working middle class is about to get a pay raise with the new tax reform bill! We are winning liberals and never Trump hating republicans while you continue to lose. And on a personal note for the Christmas season, I'd like to thank all you liberals and never Trump hating republicans for awakening a sleeping giant in this country .. that being the working middle class. |

Big Red is beginning to move this oil tanker, sometimes in a misguided direction, but the movement is still a positive one. |

You had obviously taken in too much Kool-Aid before writing this piece. Read this and weep: First of all the first year of a new president's administration is supposed to be characterized by a large number of major new legislation, this administration produced one, the flawed tax bill that will now become a repeal and replace rallying cry for the Dems: Michael Bloomberg: Tax cuts alone won’t answer U.S. economic needs http://www.pbs.org/video/bloomberg-1513638106 The Secret Shame of Middle-Class Americans Living Paycheck to Paycheck https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2016/05/my-secret-shame/476415/ Majority of Americans don't have $500 in savings http://cnnmon.ie/2inIR3S 63% Of Americans Don't Have Enough Savings To Cover A $500 Emergency; https://www.forbes.com/sites/maggiemcgrath/2016/01/06/63-of-americans-dont-have-enough-savings-to-cover-a-500-emergency/#17fe46704e0d And you think an average $1,000.00 a year in "tax breaks" is gonna make a big difference, really, huh?: Let the Mockers Mock, $1,000 Can Make a Difference for American Families http://bit.ly/2Bujzwa Second, most of what Trump has achieved has been via Executive Orders, the very thing he criticized Obama for doing during the last administration Third after dodging the bullet in the first four special elections of this past year the tide has definitely turned on Trump and the Alt-Right: At Year’s End, Conservatives Are Winning the GOP Civil War http://bit.ly/2BnsdrU Roy Moore's defeat should send clear message to foreign leaders; http://thehill.com/opinion/international/366185-roy-moores-defeat-should-send-clear-message-to-foreign-leaders "The Nov. 7 and Dec. 12 election results made it clear that pre-Trump America was back and that if Democrats keep up their momentum, not only may Donald Trump only have three more years left as president (if that), but by this time next year, the Republicans could lose their majority in Congress, which would make Trump's policies — both foreign and domestic — difficult to implement. Despite what Trump says now, he had come out strongly in support for the Virginia candidate for governor, Ed Gillespie, and for Roy Moore in Alabama. Both Moore and Gillespie adopted Trump’s divisive tactics. Both lost —Gillespie by 9 percent. In Alabama, it wasn’t just that Moore was a deeply flawed candidate, Trump’s tactics and his endorsement also proved to be failures. If the impact is the same in 2018, Republicans may not be able to hold on to their majority in the U.S. House of Representatives, which would be a massive transformation to both American politics and policies. What's more, remarkable gains were made by minority candidates in a sharp rebuke to Trump’s culture war. New Jersey elected its first Sikh mayor in history. Seattle elected its first lesbian mayor, Charlotte and St. Paul elected their first African-American mayors, and Virginia elected the first transgender lawmaker to statewide office anywhere in the U.S. and its first Asian-American woman to the Virginia House. Leaders of around the world should now be on notice: Donald Trump’s presidency is an aberration." Enjoy the fantasy while it lasts but the bloom is already off the rose!

Let's face it, according to the uber-conservative National Review, Trump has had a good month, but hardly a good year: Trump’s Good Month http://bit.ly/2BR4x2O "Yet according to RealClearPolitics, Trump’s current approval rating is 38 percent, Congress’s job approval stands at 14 percent, and Democrats have an eleven-point advantage on the generic Congressional ballot. Republicans just lost a Senate seat in Alabama, were swept in Virginia, and have lost six state-level seats in races from New Hampshire to Oklahoma. Many Republicans will contend that the polls don’t matter, and we should just be grateful that President Trump has accomplished so much. He’s faced down the barrage of media scrutiny, and while he’s stepped on landmines regularly, that hasn’t stopped him from pursuing his agenda effectively. Must we truly focus on Trump’s failure to win Americans to his side? Yes we must. In fact, we ought to focus even more heavily on the need for Trump to win Americans over if we hope for more conservative victories. That’s because Trump’s lack of popularity carries a severe risk that he will poison the well. Personal unpopularity can cripple an agenda; Trump’s awful poll numbers could easily translate into hatred for the otherwise-excellent policy he espouses." |

Conservatives are blind, just blind. His first year has humiliated the nation and removed any sense of dignity from the Office he occupies. He is well on his way to leaving this nation a shell of what it was or could be. It will take generations to repair the damage he is doing on a dialy basis. |

Leftists are never going to support tax cuts (pay raises for working class americans) ... never. Tax cuts mean less power for government .. always. They claim (lie) that these Trump tax cuts only benefit the rich, they ALWAYS claim this but leftists will not be able to explain more take home pay for working americans as being a bad thing so they just keep it up with their tax cuts benefit only the rich pseudo babble and the media always backs them up. If the programs liberals support ever worked now and then when they take money from working americans, they might try to justify this thievery. but the programs don't work, they fail. Time and again. |

He's taking apart your whole liberal agenda day by day, brick by brick and that's a very good thing as destructive as it is. Hopeless feeling, isn't it? It was only a matter of time before you leftists saw a middle class backlash explode in all your faces. And many on your side saw this coming including Bill Clinton who warned Hillary about it. |
