Trump = Yeb, Rubio, et al

Let's face it: Trump has done absolutely nothing that Yeb or Rubio wouldn't have done had they won the election. He's governing like a neocon. While I expect lots of hand waving and name calling, I'd appreciate measured and thoughtful responses from Trump voters on this point. If you can prove me wrong, I'll admit it. I didn't vote for any Republican (or Democrat) but I had high hopes when Trump was elected. I've yet to see any significant changes in the status quo.

Trump was too good to be true. They are turning him into a neocon

Trump is the only one that would have dumped TPP, driven illegal immigration down & provided for more Border Patrols.

Assad and Kim are the ones puffing up. If he did nothing, you'd complain that he was being naive in the face of imminent nuclear war.
How about you wait for war before bitching about one we are not in?

I agree about TPP; I'm not so sure about illegal immigration. I don't think the neocons even support that.

They're doing what they've always done. Trump is the only one that has done a 180 here.

Nah. Rubio's healthcare plan would have been better.

No one before Trump really did anything about illegal immigration.

Sure they did. Remember W after 9/11? Even Obama was deporting illegals at a record pace when he became President.

Obama was roundly criticized by republicans for not doing exactly what Trump just did. Now those same republicans are bitching about trump doing it.
Again, you would be bitching either way.

Wrong. I appreciated Trump's more non-interventionist stances he had before he became President.

Obama does nothing = criticized for being a pussy
Trump does something = criticized for being a warmonger
In other words, people will bitch about anything and everything. Unfortunately we live in a world where screaming in protest is trendy, and the group mentality of it exacerbates it

Why are you frickers so bipolar?
First, we are not at war.
Second, trump is not, and was never an isolationist. Syria was an air strike and nothing more. You can cry as if there are boots in the ground, but they'd be wasted tears.
Kim has nukes abd is being more assholish than ever. You can't sit on your hands and do nothing about that. It appears Trump has brought China to the table on NK which is an enormous step in the right direction.
Instead of bitching, step back and appreciate that the potus, in one fell swoop, has Syria, Russia, and NK at bay and China moving 150k Troops to the NK border while ceasing its coal trade to America's benefit.
You're welcome.

Border Patrol agents turned illegals around at the border & Obama put it in deported column; not the same as actually finding someone in Milwaukee and sending them back to Mexico.

Running list of campaign promises that Trump has upheld
It's been 60 days and Trump has already delivered on many of the things he campaigned on. I'm sorry that your dumb arse didn't like one surgical strike (which he fully indicated he'd do when he was running) but that doesn't erase the fact that he's been pretty on point with his message thus far. To say that neocons would've delivered as much as Trump so far or in a similar fashion to Trump is idiotic.
