Buddy you’re crying about the second amendment in a different thread and gleefully support Clinton era fiscal policy.

It’s you that’s the moderate. And trending left.

Nobody is talking about jobs when they want limited government. They are talking about the scope of government.

That is not what limiting and reducing government means. Especially since the spending is up



Now do the trillions of investments and increase in jobs.
Oh, dont leave out the average median income has never been higher.
You're an idiot, but don't expect others to be also.

The reason Trump won in 2016 was people were sick of weak willed Republicans caving to Obama. Nothing has changed other than they are even weaker willed now.

Hell, I would go further and say some of them must be compromised if they are so unwilling to push the Save Act through.

I give credit where credit is due. Somehow the DNC keeps the party in check when voting. We have to fight with our party over every single vote.

Those investments are foreign countries buying up American assets and labor markets. They expect a ROI which means in future years your children and grandchildren will be making products for the profits and benefit of foreigners.

But you'll sit around pretend like these places just randomly gave up all that money to the US for own benefit instead of their own.

And then call me an idiot to finish it off.

Congrats on selling out your children and grandchildren to globalists and the jobs working for them.

Because the Overton window has been pushed so far to the right that even Eisenhower and Reagan would be considered RINOs now.

Trump is an anchor around their necks. Starting wars of choice in the Middle East don’t lead to election wins.

They have been weak for a long time. Libtard’s stick together when they vote. Republicans only care about one thing. To make sure that Trump won’t get any legislation passed. They are supposed to vote like their constituents want them to. A perfect example is the Save Act legislation that would help a lot to protect our country. It has over an eighty percent approval for the country. It’s always the usual useless people. Cassidy, Murkowskey and Susan Collins just to name a few

ETA that Thune was a horrible pick to lead the Republicans in the Senate

Reagan was a long time Democrat until he switched, precisely like Trump. Had no idea, did you? That’s rhetorical.

Reagan's switch was LOOOOOONG before running for President
Supported Goldwater, Gov of CaliforniaGreat jokes about hippie not looking as if they could Make Love or war; previous runs for Prez



Trump was more opportunistic

Reagan actually signed a bill into law as Governor of California that facilitated a somewhat “easier” route to getting an abortion.

And by the way, I’m all for a person evolving into a different or again evolved political philosophy, save for a situation wherein it’s blatantly obvious that the person did it for mere political convenience. But if that happens genuinely and legitimately, I believe it demonstrates a positive characteristics.

Trump has reduced the federal government by iver 300,000 jobs.

This is only meaningful if it lowers the cost of running the government

It has not. We keep running bigger deficits despite having fewer government workers. Which means we're getting less and paying more for it.

That is not considered a win in any scenario

Trump isn't getting help from the RINOs because he pushed deep state agendas and attacked small government Republicans?

That doesn't make much sense.

They aren’t helping Trump because he helped primary the uniparty republicans. But to admit that, you'd have to give up your "Trump is deep state" fantasy.

The party is exactly like the deep state RINO Dems want it to be. They want to be the “not responsible” token opposition while grifting for personal gain.
