 My contempt for Trumpism in a nutshell |
UncleJD |
Contrary to those that take a simplistic view to all of this, I am not against Trump simply because he's a bully, narcissist, misogynist, quasi-conservative, neo-fascist, demagogue, serial-divorcee, democrat funder, etc... . Sure those things played their parts but in the end, I'm anti-trump because of what he's doing to the conservative movement in general and the Republican party specifically. The following quote captures everything that I feel about what Trumpism is doing in a nutshell. I've read this sentiment time after time and if its true then the Democrats will run this country for the next 50 years. Even if Trump wins, after 4 years of craziness he will lose to the next Democrat and the Trumpers will call "foul, rigged, establishment, etc.." and throw the same tantrum.
| Quote: | | I hope if we lose you will be happy helping Mr Trump lose and I for one will never support a regular rep. again(never ever and I will vote for dem first and will give my money for dems over reg rep. |
This response was to someone who simply pointed out that Trump's supporters need to take the polls more seriously and do what they can to campaign instead of just believing the hype about "rigged, big, yuge, polls-bad" They were actually trying to help, but say anything critical at all and you're "liberal, establishment, blah, blah blah" |

Its called scorched-earth if my guy doesn't win, its only because the system is rigged.. That should worry those who really want him to win, this whole "I'm going to cross my arms and stick out my lip because its not fair, and the media is to blame, and the polls are wrong, we're really winning" seems to say they've given up.
But I really believe the party is in danger of breaking up, and many, like our own RS say "good". While its true the Republicans have not done a lot of things they should have and the criticism was just, the idea that they accomplished nothing is false. Obama himself has said that his biggest disappointment was his failure to pass gun-control. That is a pretty big one with me. But if the Trumpers don't step up and get this thing at least close, then Trump's negative-coattails will drag down the entire congress with him. |

If everyone WOULD get that attitude we would not need term limits. Problem is Miss says ALA should change their guys, NC says SC should change their reps, most people will vote for 'their incumbents' while saying everyone else should get rid of theirs. And with that attitude, NOTHING changes.
But I am with you on that.

Sorry man. Republican conservative is an oxymoron.
They changed. Not us.
They could have filibustered and stopped Obama at every turn - but didn't.
They could have restrained spending - but didn't.
They owed it to us to try.
All Trump has done is expose them for what they are.
Sure he is no Conservative. But neither are they.
They talk a good game (Marco Rubio from my state) - but get to Washington and do the opposite.
I am tired of it.
Without Christian conservatives - the Republican party is very small. Another party will rise to takes its place.
Democrat party will only lose power when we can borrow money no longer.(see Greece)

Didn't they try that once or twice? I recall they got a lot of political backlash. There a lot of people who don't want to go through what it would have taken to stop Obama or even get things done. I can imagine that if I ran for Congress and did what I needed to do I would be a one term congressman and some people would want me out before my term was up. |

Exactly right, Ted Cruz tried to filibuster and was hated for it buy the establishment and ridiculed by Donald Trump who said Cruz was a bad candidate because he didn't compromise.
And several times the Republicans tried to quash the budget (for Planned Parenthood and Obamacare) and it just ended up passing anyway (Mitch McConnell, John Boehner)

Yes - in the 1990s with Bill Clinton.
Media attacked them - media said they were wrong - but they were right.
But Reps no longer cared if they were right-they wanted the easiest path to reelection - didn't want to offend a potential voter. Voted in all freebies, amnesty, healthcare, etc... and didn't gain a single voter.

SO TRUE DUDE!
I remember back in the 50/60's the Democrat party did the same thing. It left it's base (especially in the south) and no one knew it. I still have kin who DO NOT KNOW IT. They still say, 'The Democrats are for the working guy and us conservatives.'

Here is a PARTIAL list of Republican Blocked measures just through 2012 (I can spend time and find the rest if you need it). Followed by a PARTIAL list of Republican attempted laws that were veto'd by Obumer. Its good TV show drama to say words like never and always, but those statements are always never true. According to the Trumpers, none of these things were ever done or attempted, not true. Yes there were several things that Boehner and McConnell compromised on that they should never have done, but Trump makes compromise his middle name.
Tax on Companies that ship jobs overseas- A bill that would have eliminated a tax break that companies get when they ship jobs overseas. Republicans blocked this, allowing companies to keep the tax break they receive when they ship jobs to other countries.
Political Ad disclosure bill- Would have required all donors to political campaigns to reveal themselves. Republicans blocked this, not once but twice.
Subpoena Power for the Committee investigating the BP Oil Spill – Give subpoena power to the independent committee responsible for investigating BP’s roll in the oil spill. Republicans attempted to block this.
The Small Business Jobs Act -would give LOCAL, community banks access to billions of dollars to loan to small businesses. Republicans blocked this, then attempted to block it a second time and failed.
The DREAM Act- Gives immigrant youth who were brought here as children a path to citizenship by earning a college degree or serving the military for 2 years. Republicans blocked this.
Repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”- Would have repealed the law that forces gay and lesbian services members to lie about their sexuality and gives the military the right to discharge soldiers based on their sexuality. Republicans blocked this many times and Democrats were finally able to pass it with the support of just 2 Republicans.
Senator Franken’s Anti-Rape Amendment to the Defense Appropriations Bill – Makes it so that women raped overseas while working for foreign contractors have the right to have their case heard in an American court instead of having their case mediated by the company they work for. Only Republican men voted against this, but it passed.
Benefits for Homeless Veterans- Would have expanded benefits to homeless veterans and homeless veterans with children. Republicans blocked this.
Affordable Health Care For America Act- Prevents insurance companies from discriminating against you on the basis of “pre-existing conditions”. Requires that insurance companies spend 85 cents of every dollar that you pay on your actual health care. Limits health insurance companies profit margins. Republicans blocked this for months before it finally passed and have vowed to repeal it if they are elected.
Health Care for the 9/11 First Responders who got sick from being at Ground Zero- Would provide billions of dollars in health care to help the 9/11 First Responders who were at Ground Zero on 9/11 and are now sick because of it. Republicans blocked this.
The Jobs Bill- Offsets the payroll tax for 1 year for companies that hire new employees, or people receiving unemployment insurance. Also gives other tax incentives to companies hiring new employees. Republicans attempted to block this.
Wall Street Reform- Puts stricter regulations on the banks, preventing them from becoming “too big to fail”. Curbs reckless spending practices that caused the banking crisis. Republicans attempted to block this.
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act- Pumped billions of dollars into state and local Governments to prevent us from sinking into a second Great Depression. Republicans opposed this but now want to take credit for the parts of it that we know are successful.
Oil Spill Liability- Raises the liability on what companies can be made to pay to clean up after an oil spill. Republicans blocked this.
Immigration Reform- Republican suggested comprehensive immigration reform until Obama supported it. Now they’re rabidly opposed to it and even voted against their own legislation. Republicans blocked this.
Unemployment extension bill HR-4213- Would provide additional aid to the millions of Americans still on unemployment who are just trying to support themselves and their families. Republicans blocked this bill for 8 weeks before it finally passed. Republicans blocked this for 8 weeks before it finally passed.
Fair Pay Act of 2009- Also called the Lily Ledbetter bill. Requires that women receive equal compensation to men for doing the same work. Republicans attempted to block this.
No permanent military bases in Afghanistan.
Report identifying hybrid or electric propulsion systems and other fuel-saving technologies for incorporation into tactical motor vehicles.
Protection of child custody arrangements for parents who are members of the Armed Forces deployed in support of a contingency operation.
Improvements to Department of Defense domestic violence programs.
Department of Defense recognition of spouses of members of the Armed Forces.
Department of Defense recognition of children of members of the Armed Forces.
Enhancements to the Troops-to-Teachers Program.
Fiscal year 2011 increase in military basic pay.
Improving aural protection for members of the Armed Forces.
Comprehensive policy on neurocognitive assessment by the military health care system.
Authority to make excess nonlethal supplies available for domestic emergency assistance.
Here are a SHORT list of Republican bills that that Democrats and Obama have struck down.

I stand corrected. Seems they tried more than once or twice. The majority of these just didn't get the press or stand out like a particular one or two of the attempts did. |

I'll have you know I don't think I've ever seen a complete show of The Apprentice.
Anyway, in the above list, it looks like Republicans could get no bills passed. They've only blocked a few of Obama's bills and held out on others before giving in. If they don't give in, the political fallout is too much for some or them. If they compromise they are derided. But getting Obama to compromise is largely unsuccessful. So little gets done on the Republican agenda - except blocking some bills. |
