    I agree with Cow Poke on this (don't tell him I said that) - Hillary lost, and we seem to have gotten a decent SC judge on the bench to replace Scalia. Other than that, Trump's not inspiring a whole lot of confidence.
    Umm could that be because he sucks at being POTUS and has no clue what the job entails?

          Those certainly don't help, but a fair amount of the chaos is of his own making.

            And he would probably have more support if anyone could trust him.

              I think, at this point, he's clearly his own worst enemy.
              The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                Indeed. This is why the liberals (including the brazenly anti-Trump MSM) is being incredibly foolish with their rabid insistence in trying to turn any and everything he does into something coming close to, or an outright, impeachment worthy event (such as the two scoops of ice cream kerfuffle). And if they cannot find anything then simply concocting something to attack him over (like the fake story about Trump ordering the bust of MLK removed from the Oval Office. Trump is capable of providing enough legitimate material to criticize without losing any remaining credibility grossly exaggerating everything or outright lying.

                  In my experience this is just how people are politically today.

                  When Clinton was in office he committed one of the worst war crimes of any president with his bombing of Sudan, he screwed-up on Bin Laden, ruined the lives of countless people with mandatory sentencing, and was in bed with big business and big defense that was unprecedented at that point. There were plenty of crimes he was guilty of without the side-show that was his sexual affairs, or the other nonsense wingers talked about.

                  It happened to Bush, it happened to Obama, and it's now happening to Trump.

                  People are petty in politics.

                    What's happening to Trump is orders of magnitude greater than anything that's happened any time in at least the last couple decades.

                      I would prefer Pence. Not too much of a fan but Pence is much better and more qualified.

                        I kind of hope Pence gets it.
                        Then when the press/DNC/RNC lie to sabotage him we'll all learn how propaganda works.

                        Once we've got all the conservatives on board with understanding the nature of the enemy only then will we be able to ignore the baboons and do the right thing.
                        Actually YOU put Trump in the White House. He wouldn't have gotten 1% of the vote if it wasn't for the widespread spiritual and cultural devastation caused by progressive policies. There's no "this country" left with your immigration policies, your "allies" are worthless and even more suicidal than you are and democracy is a sick joke that I hope nobody ever thinks about repeating when the current order collapses. - Darth_Executor striking a conciliatory note in Civics 101

                          This is why the just released Harvard study concerning the news coverage of Trumps first 100 days shows a virtually continuous negative onslaught concluding "Trump’s coverage during his first 100 days set a new standard for negativity."

                            I think that over half of those here at Tweb who voted for Trump (or like myself against Hillary) would not be unhappy with Pence replacing Trump.

                              Only "over half"?


                              (but, 99.9% is, indeed "over half")
