This is amusing coming from someone who supports Republicans. Democrats actually have things they would try to accomplish given power to do so. Republicans have accomplished ~nothing while holding three branches of government, which is what liberals could have told you would happen because Republicans have for 8 years now had no ideas at all (you included the word "new" while failing to consider that Democrats having any ideas is a significant improvement over the opposition) besides "don't do what the liberals want".

Regarding leadership - who was the "leader" of the Republican Party going into 2016? Paul Ryan? Mitch McConnell? Seems like history is a pretty strong refutation of your argument that "leadership" (or, similarly, "ideas") is even necessary to win things.

you are right the republicans had for the last 4 years at least been completely obstructionist do nothings and they woulda been crushed in 2016 without trump.

It took awhile for me to accept this idea, but trump really is the savior of the republican party. His populism/anti globalism/social liberalism is the way forward for the republican party. Trump and trumpism provided the leadership and ideas that won the republicans the 2016 election.

regarding your point about Trump not doing much, its hard for the administration to do anything when you have the dems, the neo con republicans and the media stabbing him in the back constantly. But its still early and Trump has done so much already given his handicaps

Republicans calling anybody whiny after their 2017 selves are what comedy gold is made from. Enough to make a majority nervous as Jeff Sessions under oath.

Not killing your constituents with stupid health care laws that **** them over is an exciting new idea.

Did someone itt really say "Trump's not stupid"?

He later corrected himself, GHWB hit it briefly on day 1,288

It's quite possible that you are the biggest moron in this thread. Not one work of your post is true. It might as well be a Trump tweet.

Issues the left/progressives have been/continue to be championing: improvements to the ACA and/or universal health care, more affordable drug costs, importing drugs from other countries, legalizing and taxing MJ, a wider social safety net, a minimum wage increase, easier access to voting for legal voters, immigration reform, continued low unemployment policies, affordable higher education, tax reform that works for the majority of America (not just the rich), economic policy that works for the majority of America (not just the rich), LGBT rights, infrastructure repair, I could go on and on. Other than those items and the items that I failed to post, there are absolutely no ideas on the left. None.

Next, Hillary is nowhere near the leader of the party right now. Not even remotely close. But Hillary, but emails, but Hillary. Those are the sole talking points you have. Just made up complete gibberish. Your either a moron, brainwashed, not paying attention to what is actually going on, or some combination of these. Take your pick.

Photos Released of Trump’s Lawyer with Russians That He Claims He Doesn’t Know

Man, the people in trumps entourage sure dress like bums.

Trump prepared to sign bipartisan bill to curtain VA abuses under Obama administration:

lol you are such a democratic partisan you can't look past your own nose.

I said new ideas, hillary ran on 4 more years of obama and thats still what the democratic party is running on, that + trump is orange hitler.

if you think thats gonna cause a blue tide in 2018 gl.

also who is a leader in the democratic party if not for Hillary??? I can't see one. The entire democratic strategy is to hate on trump. No leadership and no new ideas.

This is about the best republicans can do. Barely accurate while as partisan as they accuse. No sign of any republican ideas and acts, besides being able to craft a narrative like that- about themselves towards their opponent. Nearly empty of substance except for political. One must fall for the '2-side' paradigm pretty hard to go for this.

lawl no ability to refute the basic premise

gotta project

We had this discussion literally yesterday. A lack of leadership (Mitt Romney? John Boehner? Paul Ryan? Mitch McConnell?) or ideas (liberals bad, nothing else) hasn't stopped Republicans from being successful in congressional elections from 2010 on. The basic premise is refuted by history yet you're still in here blathering about it!

Mitt Romney was one of the most qualified individuals to ever run for President. In fact liberals are sure wishing it were Romney now, aren't they? The irony of the rise of Trump is that it was a backlash to the Leftism of the past 8 years. The Left gave us Trump. Sometimes you gotta send a snake to catch the snakes.

No speck of personal responsibility, just blame the left. And repeal Romenycare.

Racist conspiracy theorists gave us Trump. You can take some credit.

I told you yesterday the republicans were saved by trump

he solved their lack of leadership problem

That doesn't address that, for example, there was no Trump/no leadership/no ideas when they kept the House and took back the Senate in 2014.

Who was the leader of the Democrats in 2006, Pelosi? Kerry? No leadership then (and I'm sure you would claim no ideas) and they took over Congress in a big way, mostly because GWB sucked. But, wait, that's exactly what you're claiming doesn't work...

This leadership/ideas stuff is just some bull**** you made up in your head because it sounded nice. It has no grounding in reality.

Darwinism in action: Trump tells mayor of shrinking island "don't worry about it" and mayor says "I agree"

What sage advice did Donald Trump give this man?

Let us know how that works out for your kids!

Yeah, why believe the guy who's doing the observing? Science isn't observation kids, it's fearing mongering from ivory towers. Doesn't this mayor know that Al Gore said he was going to drown any day now because Exxon wants him dead?

Just gonna leave this here to lol at

From late April:

Update: Food industry wins, as predicted! Not that it's very hard to predict that the Trump administration works for industry, not for you.

Being against free trade IS a very effective populist tool to win over low wage workers. It's basically a re-branding of welfare programs except without any teeth since technology has at least as much and probably more of an imapct manual labor wages dropping like a rock.

Maybe as trumps next trick he can start banning technology too?

People claiming that democrats handed trump the presidency for having won the previous 2 elections - trump is what's going to ensure that no competent republican will take office for at least another 8 years. Congrats.

He understands the common man better than most in politics.
If only his understanding of politics was better than the common man you'd be set!

You know that tide gauges exist, right? And satellite measurements of sea level? And what about the Army Corps of Engineers who have looked at this island in particular?

But, yeah, we should listen instead to a guy who just looks at the water from a boat.
