IB is pretty conservative by all accounts, he just doesn’t have the same stance y’all do on tariffs.

This.

IB is good people.

He just needs a Dale Carnegie course and public relations seminar.

I find myself in complete agreement with him if it becomes a long term policy but I have come around to the fact that short term tariffs to put the hurt on China are fine.

One reason why I have not piled on IB with the rest of the board is that he knew what he was talking about with the film tax credits and he was dead right about that.

He has quite a bit of credibility with me albeit not to the point where I'm going to shite on Trump and scream for him to stop the tariffs.

However, the jury is still out on the tariffs and we still need to see how they shake out long term.

To think people want to train high school students who aren't college types for skilled jobs where they could get hired.

Oh the shame!!!!!!

As far as those that say I need to display more tact in my posting---maybe.

No conservative has been more insulted, more attacked by nit wits lacking any skills of informed debate than have I. Nothing is more telling than the 8-10 posts that will appear immediately after I post the news of the day regarding tariffs that have nothing to do with the linked or posted material. It is as if they won't read anything that disagrees with what they think is the reality of Trumps' tariffs. They shouldn't even post. My tariff threads would be much shorter.

I ask the rest of you to put aside my lack of patience or curt replies in such threads. The Mods love tariffs and anything Trump does and will on occasion admonish my threads while the wackos hurl personal attacks my way with no restraint. Sometimes threads concerning actual armed insurrections are allowed to go on and on. That is what Chicken wants and that is fine I suppose.

What has happened?

PT has IMHO become an "unfriendly" place for real conservatives, liberals or libertarians. It is a hive of high strung, economically illerate Trump worshippers who seem to lack any skills of critical thought.

We are in a dangerous place as a country if the populace refuses to criticize the leaders when they do something we disagree with regardless of their politics.

So perhaps one day tact will become of some importance to me as I post here but in the meantime I will call a spade a spade when I deem it necessary.

I am not the fence about tariffs. In a perfect world I would not want any; however, it's not close to perfect.

Stay cool buddy, there are plenty of guys out here who appreciate legitimate debate. Keep it up.

Good guy w/ solid family.

Just don't know if he's ready for what's coming and is willing to do what is necessary to beat Edwards.

Hope so.

I will say my apolitical wife is very excited about this news.

Who?

Rispone needs to get the right people in place. How do you "file state paperwork today declaring his candidacy for the 2019 election" and not have a proper press release ready? Missed opportunity.
