It's Trump!

Trump wins it!
I posted on one of MB's Facebook posts, but I'm doing it here....Michael thank you for your "yuge" efforts on behalf of our 2A rights. Your unwavering resolve was inspiring. You sold out on the cause and you had an effect.

Trump won, not because he's a great guy, but because he was NOT Hillary. So don't gloat too much. However I'll take just a moment to gloat over two things I said previously. First, as he made potty mouth mistake after mistake, I SAID that he would "grow into" the job. He has done that, and his acceptance speech was very Presidential. Second, after he had won the primary I told everyone who would listen that " Trump isn't a great guy and he has a lot of faults, but he KNOWS how to GET SH*T DONE".  And he did. Of course, he had some help from the dems, repubs, the media, the DNC, the DOJ, and Hollywood who, with their combined strength, could not drag their stinking corpse of a candidate across the finish line.

Now let's get on with cleaning up that Supreme Court and get over the top with our gun rights.

I agree, Jay.

As with any politician, you have to wait and see if they will attempt to do what they said they would.

With Trump, if he does attempt it, he has a better chance of "getting it done", as you have said, then the rest.....even though he will be likely fighting both the Dems and the GOP controlled House and Senate  (this will also be a chance to see what is the real nature of the GOP...if we haven't already)

Let us see how he manages to hold their feet to the fire.  I am rooting for his not giving a crap about Established Politics to find ways to force consensus to his goals.

A couple things speak to Trump getting things done...

When he announced his candidacy no one gave him much of a chance--especially with 16 other seemingly better choices.  I mentioned elsewhere that he was not even in my top 15, beating out only Bush.

But, he stated he would be victorious in the primary and, lo and behold, he was.

No one gave him much of a chance against the exceedingly well-organized Hil-liar-y.  But he said he would be victorious. And, once again, he was.

He has made a number of promises, among them, the repeal of Odamna care; the restructuring of the tax code; the enforcement of immigration law; building a wall with Mexico footing the bill; bringing jobs back to America.  And a number of other things.  Starting January 20, 2017 we will begin to see what we have wrought.

I think he will not disappoint.  We've got the House and the Senate--at least to the degree the elected RINO pukes will stand firm to their commitments to faithfully represent their constituents.  There should be no stopping him. I have a feeling Ford is already re-thinking sending their small car division to Mexico in the face of a 35% duty on re-importation.

All I can say to all of this is buckle up, sunshine.  It's going to be one helluva a ride.

I am that hopeful Crusader.

I especially noted his look/attitude when saying Mexico would pay for the wall.   Other politicians reactions seemed to say "Oh sure...hand them a bill for the wall and they will rush to pay it  hahaha".

But Trump was so quietly confident, I believe he will do something like find the (legal) product Mexico exports most or most profitably to the US and impose tariffs/taxes or other charges they will be forced to pay and that will finance the wall.   

He simply will not care about his or the US "image" with the world.  He will get the job done and that will be the best image that could be projected for us.
