Basically I think your sentence contradicts itself
I take it back, he attended some tier IV toilet where his claim to fame was earning the nickname "Sean Sphincter"

Have him up against the wall with Trump et al

Why did I just now learn that sesame street had a character named Ronald Grump for some episodes? They were pretty accurate.

I'm no longer a Trump supporter. I'm shaking. I don't know why everyone's shutting up about it.

I still find it so hard to understand people who have seen Donald Trump debate, seen his Twitter, seen his interviews; who then went "This guy is just ACE!"

Literally can't comprehend it. Brain just refuses.

It's literally a crowd of people cheering for the concept of never being held accountable for anything as long as you say "people are saying" first.

This is interesting (how much do Republicans actually support Republican policies), so I went looking for data.

http://www.pollingreport.com/budget.htm

As of 2016, 15% of Americans think rich people pay too much tax, 21% their fair share, 61% not enough.

12% of Americans think corporations pay too much tax, 16% fair share, 67% too much.

This would suggest there is not much support for cutting taxes to the rich, and there is a disconnect between what Republican politicians want and what their voters do.

Another interesting thing about this data - in the early 90s only 8-10% of people thought the poor don't pay enough tax, over the years that's crept up to 20-22%. Rich people don't pay enough tax has dropped from 77% to around 60%. It seems all those years of propaganda about welfare queens and job creators is doing its job.

If 45-48% of people pay no federal taxes, in Kentucky that # must be like 60-65% right?

It hasn't been a tough sell before so I don't know why it would be now.

I've read Trump supporters are more interested in his infrastructure spending plans, so maybe he does that first or around the same time as tax reform.

When will people get tired of the same lame ass speech with a couple of off the script non sequiturs from DRUMPF? How much time does he get to talk about things he is going to do before people start asking why they aren't done?

He's already squashed TPP, trying to squash obamacare (cucking out a bit), signed an EO about the wall, would have halted immigration if not for courts overstepping their bounds with judicial supremacy, and soon to be going after nafta

he's done more than any other president this fast I imagine

I admit his speeches are a bit redundant but protecting american interests first and talk of getting people working never gets old (and listening to your electorate)

trump did own mitch and basically establish himself as alpha so maybe he'll be able to bully mitch against his inner cuck, or maybe this republicare is an agreement to go for the wall later
