This shows that democratic voters realize the party has a problem.

Being self aware isn't the worst thing in the world. Good for them.

A year ago, they thought there was nothing wrong with the party and the republicans were on the brink of extinction.

:lol:

Pretty amazing after all these weeks of negative PR against their enemies, the Democrats are faring worse.

It shows that regardless of what they think of the opposition party, they demand more from their own. Pretty impressive that they can admit their faults. That's rare these days.

There's nothing, period, impressive about that party.

They're going to lurch toward wanting to be Venezuela.

100 days in and simple denial of everything is foolish.

I don't agree with a lot of what he's done, but to deny he's accomplished these things is head in the sand, blinders on, ignorance. Welcome to CNN!


http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/byron-york-trumps-100-days-an-executive-success/article/2621041

The "Contract" was a single piece of paper. The front listed 18 actions Trump would take under his executive authority as president, and the back listed ten pieces of legislation he would introduce in Congress.

On the executive action front, Trump has kept a significant number of his promises:

  • Candidate Trump promised to "begin the process" of selecting a Supreme Court Justice to replace Antonin Scalia. As president, Trump did just that, and Neil Gorsuch is now on the Court.
  • Candidate Trump promised to withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership. As president, he did it.
  • Candidate Trump promised to require that "for every new federal regulation, two existing regulations must be eliminated." As president, he did it.
  • Candidate Trump promised to "lift the Obama-Clinton roadblocks" on the Keystone Pipeline and other infrastructure projects. As president, he did it.
  • Candidate Trump promised to "begin removing the more than two million criminal illegal immigrants" in the U.S. As president, he did it.
On other issues, Trump has kept front-page promises, but with decidedly mixed results. The most significant of those is his pledge to "suspend immigration from terror-prone regions." Trump has done it — twice — only to see his executive orders tied up in the courts. His first try was botched, while the second try will likely survive judicial scrutiny.

Trump also promised to "cancel all federal funding" for so-called sanctuary cities. He has begun to do so — the Justice Department is beginning to threaten to withdraw some grant money — but the promise was overbroad and will likely never be fully kept.

In addition, Trump promised to impose a "five-year ban on White House and Congressional officials becoming lobbyists after they leave government service." He kept the pledge for White House officials but does not have the authority to tell Congress what to do — so again, a partially kept, but originally overbroad promise.

Some promises Trump has openly chosen to break. He promised to "direct the Secretary of the Treasury to label China a currency manipulator." Now, he says he will not do so if China is helping the U.S. solve the so-far-intractable North Korea problem.

The net result of Trump's promises involving executive authority is that he has done well when it comes to keeping the Contract. Indeed, the two biggest successes of Trump's first 100 days are on the front page of the Contract: the Gorsuch nomination and Trump's immigration executive order tightening controls at the Mexico border.

A nomination counts as a success? So Reagan had a "success" by nominating Bork?

Trump is actually claiming Gorsuch as his biggest success, which is so unintentionally self-owning, because there's one person responsible for Gorsuch and it's Mitch McConnell. So the "biggest success" is (as usual with Trump) something he had practically nothing to do with.

"biggest" is your word.

Gorsuch was confirmed. Bork wasn't.

But yeah, your apples are oranges.
 
Accomplished nothing. The Atlantic is hardly favorable toward Trump.

(Again, I don't agree with all he does, this is one of them, but it is an accomplishment)

https://www.theatlantic.com/politic...ntional-wisdom-on-illegal-immigration/524058/

President Donald Trump can take credit for one huge accomplishment, an accomplishment more central to his election campaign than any of the unfulfilled pledges above. Illegal immigration into the United States has slowed dramatically. The Department of Homeland Security reports that illegal crossings across the southern border plunged 40 percent in the first month of the Trump presidency, the steepest decline in illegal migration since the recession of 2009. Illegal immigration by family groups with children has dropped by over 90 percent.
 
Boy, remember when the Denny spam-bot went quiet for a while? I don't think I appreciated those weeks enough.
 
Finding Trump accomplishments is like shooting fish in a barrel.

What does it say about those who say he has none?

CNN says it several times an hour.

I'd say they're liars.
 
He is using the presidency for personal gain. Advertising Mar a Lago as the Winter White House. Illegal as shit
 
He kowtows to the Saudis (anyone remember 9/11?), yucks it up with the Russians in the Oval Office, offends and alienates our allies, and is going to pull out of the Paris Accords.

Buffoon was far too gentle of an assessment.

yeah...except afterwards the barrel holds no water....maybe he'll solve all our global issues by selling weapons to countries we have issues with
 
If he had known that Jeff Sessions was going to follow the law and recuse himself, he "never would have appointed him."

Whoa!

It's obviously not a great thing to say, but fair, right?

If he knew about Flynn's interaction with Russians, he wouldn't have hired him, either.

Fuck Sessions, anyhow.

Good post Denny. Legit points.
 
I can't honestly see anything here that anybody could deny in good faith (and it's not often I think that about something in the National Review):
