| Imagine the unthinkable is all over, and the elected term(s) finished: What will be the outcome of this honorable/horrific period to historians? Forecast. |

Or, so hamstrung by a hostile congress(no matter which party is in control) that he can't actually implement any of his febrile musings, and ends up just governing as a typical conservative Republican, while continuing to make outrageous remarks now and then to keep his fans and the media happy. |

Ryan's decision to set aside Trump
| Quote: |
“I think what a lot of Republicans want to see is that we have a standard bearer that bears our standards,” he told Jake Tapper in the bombshell interview that was taped shortly before it aired on Thursday afternoon.
“I think conservatives want to know, does he share our values and our principles on limited government, the proper role of the executive, adherence to the Constitution?” Ryan added. “There are lots of questions that conservatives, I think, are gonna want answers to, myself included. I want to be a part of this unifying process. I want to help to unify this party.”
Ryan pre-taped the interview and didn't watch it live. He was at a campaign rally with Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson. Ryan gave GOP chairman and fellow Wisconsinite Reince Priebus a heads-up before it aired.
Trump's campaign was stunned by Ryan's interview.
. . .
Ryan's decision will likely force Trump to come to Capitol Hill and prove his mettle. Trump's team Thursday was already trying to set up meetings in Washington, and Ryan's orbit would welcome an audience with the party's presumptive nominee.
For the past four months, as Trump soared in the polls, Ryan has watched warily. A ban on Muslims in the U.S.? That's not what this country is about, he said. A hesitance to disavow white supremacists? Really? Trump even blasted free-trade agreements — pacts that Ryan strongly supports.
But after repeating the standard line for months that he would support the party's nominee, the country's highest-ranking Republican could not bring himself to do so once Trump actually became that person. And so, in the most searing and drastic defection of this wild campaign season, Ryan broke ranks with the brash New York billionaire.
Ryan's move came just hours after Trump tweeted "I love Hispanics!" along with a picture of him eating a taco bowl, not exactly the kind of fence-mending with a growing voting bloc that GOP brass had in mind for Trump's general election pivot. But Ryan's decision to buck the nominee-in-waiting was borne out of opposition to Trump's principles, not any particular policy, according to a source familiar with his thinking. |
It turns out that winning the Republican nomination comes with a whole lot of baggage, for example, the Republican platform. |

How about you define it, as is? Then, perhaps, you can show how it has changed during history. From there, could you do a compare and contract of the Democratic Party vs the Republican party?
Seriously, I think you must be a gutter-sniper for some rag outlet such as MediaMatters. In case all else fails, you could surely make a quick dime in reporting nonsense. |

I want to know how he will govern, too.
Trump the illiberal democrat
| Quote: |
| Former CIA Director Michael Hayden ignited some speculative debate when he said that the military “would refuse to act” if ordered by a President Trump to take actions that were clearly illegal, such as killing the families of terrorists. Moreover, he said, military commanders are “required not to follow an unlawful order.” Even short of flagrant illegality, the military can still do what it’s done, at times, with nearly every sitting president. Peter Feaver, a leading expert on civil-military relations, notes that “the historical record is replete with cases of the military shirking—withholding information and options, slow-rolling, end-runs to Congress and the media, inflating cost estimates, etc.—to thwart civilian policies they deem to be unwise.” Considering, however, that Trump would likely be more “unwise” than most past presidents, such tensions could intensify well beyond what America’s political system is accustomed to. |
How is Trump going to troll his way to victory over the Deep State?
In 2012 or 2013, I was in a taxi cab with a driver from Sudan (not Egypt) who loved Mohamed Morsi. Canadian and other non-American Trump supporters remind me of him, just a bit. |

He nominated Mike Pence as his Vice President. He could have gone with a poison pill. I say impeachment once Trump is there is at least as likely as Trump's chances of becoming President. |

So far Titus has correctly called both the Republican Primary and the broader election, insisting both that Mr. Trump would be nominated and that he would win. I myself have to admit I was skeptical on both accounts when we had discussed the matter back during the primaries in a now-deleted thread, but I said at that time I'd keep an open mind regarding the matter and see how Titus' predictions would turn out, and it's clear he had his fingers firmly on the pulse on a pretty large demographic. The only question which remains, then, is whether his third and most ambitious prediction regarding how Mr. Trump would govern turns out to be accurate.
More supply-side economics disasters in American domestic policy are nothing about which to be happy, but if America's foreign policy truly does pivot away from wars of aggression and towards some degree of reconciliation with Russia, that would be positive. Drawing back free trade in favor of domestic industry would also be a big victory for common American workers. Personally speaking, I hope Titus was correct in those assessments, but in any case, now we'll get a chance to confirm. |
