Thread: Trump’s base turns on him

Deportations to Mexico Down 18.5 Percent

I agree John Doe2, Trump's daughter married Kuchner and turned Jewish. President Trump appointed many Goldman Sachs people to his cabinet including Gary Cohn to National Economic Council and Dina Powell to National security council. Bannion, a conservative, and former CEO of Breitbart News, and also former Goldman Sachs exec. was also appointed. It appears these wealthy Jewish New Yorkers are feeding Trump leftist ideas while pushing Bannion further away from Trump. So Trump's own daughter and son in law, both liberals, are actively influencing the President to either soften or ignore some of the promises he made that got him elected. America was turned socialist by Obama and his ilk, and here we elect a president to throw out the Obama socialist policies and he is listening to liberals and appointing them to cabinet positions. We have high hopes for President Trump so whatever it takes to wake him up and make him fulfill his promises to stop Illegals, DACA is justified. I believe ALIPAC is the most powerful group to do this. Support ALIPAC and send in money to get this done.

The problem for Trump is not from Jewish liberals, the problem is from Republicans with conservative credentials like Cruz, McCain and Rubio. None of them are Jewish.

Sorry, you missed the mark on that one. Cruz is nothing like McCain or Rubio.

If you would have replaced Cruz with Sen. Graham, you would have hit your attempted mark.

There are only 7 Republicans in the House that score more conservative than Rep. Ted Cruz (R-TX).

I think Trump's DACA problems with his supporters is weaker than the compelling evidence from the media and his opposition that something has changed dramatically in US handling of illegal immigration.

But this thing with the Russians is pretty dramatic to me, dramatic enough to suggest that his immigration promises will break down similarly. I am ready to justify my vote for him exclusively on the fact that we don't have to worry about Cruz in the White House for four years, but he may have another shot in 2020, a chilling thought.

I fear you might be right.

Did he go there with a naive view of what could be done and someone gave him a dose of reality?

The media loved his bombing in retaliation for the gas attack - or supposed gas attack. This should be enough to give us pause. I don't watch MSM, but in looking for something totally unrelated, up popped a video of Brian Williams and he was waxing poetically about the wonderful attack on Syria.

That was enough for me.

Yes, I'm still glad we didn't get Ted Cruz and I am totally glad we didn't get Hillary.

Yes, I'm not the only here who does not trust Cruz, the Canadian, although my reasons might be different from nntrixie, who knows.

But I was ready to vote for Clinton if Cruz had won the Republican nomination. See my signature.

If you felt that strongly it would probably have been better not to vote instead of voting Clinton. Mrs. Clinton would have been a continuation of Obama or worse (IMO).

Nothing would have been worse than having Cruz as president. Absolutely nothing. He shouldn't even be sitting in the senate.

And this little rat could be a problem for a presidential race in 2020.

That my friend is an opinion not shared by everyone, including me.
