I wasn't a supporter of Trump, but he did get elected, so let's all hold on and wait for the ride to begin.   He's not a particularly nasty guy.   His mouth is usually nastier than his actions.   He's not a true conservative, in the traditional sense of the word, although he will pander to them.   

 

As far as his courting of Mitt Romney, I wouldn't be surprised if he isn't just getting even with him.   Build him up, make him feel good and then SPLAT drop him on the pavement.   

The ride has begun. He's a con man. Always been a con man. Will be a con man president.

How people didn't get that before I'll never know.

Can we stop pretending that Trump is a ‘populist’ now?

But now, Trump is filling up his administration with, guess what, Washington politicians and representatives of the economic powers-that-be, whose top priorities are tax cuts, deregulation and destroying the safety net, including the privatization of Medicare. The idea that they’ll be laboring to serve the interests of the working class is a joke. Yet it’s a joke people somehow keep telling with a straight face.

Actually, many people believe God did help America by opening the eyes of enough voters to elect Trump as president.

 

Really?

Definition of "Secretary of State": a US Government position that requires the mishandling of information 

 

there is a cornucopia of candidates to choose from

If Gen. Petreaus becomes Secretary of State, his computers and office will be subject to warrantless searches by his probation officer. 

 

With actual criminals in the Inner circle, it now seems quaint that Trump supporters were worried about someone with merely the Trump-given nickname of "Crooked Hillary" being in the White House.

The general has a number of impressive accomplishments behind him and has actually paid for his security breach. America is all about second chances for heroes like General Petreaus.

Once again, welcome to oppositeland where people who have been convicted of a crime are superior to those who not only haven't been convicted, but not even indicted.  Except of course in the kangaroo court of this poster's mind.

The only thing delusional on this site is the liberal, left wing wackos, that spend their day posting hysterical, whining, sobbing, silly comments regarding Trump being America's next president.  

 

Then to add to these silly comments, you express a belief one has to be delusional to believe in God.  Well, good luck with that one.

I believe you have General Petraeus confused with Hillary the Liar.  Maybe in the future, consider leaving out the little laughing icon with your immature comments.  The icon tends to confirm your lack of maturity, and nonexistent common sense.

If you consider posts pointing out he he's backtracking on many of his promises to be whiny etc. then you have a point. But if not, then all you've got is name calling. Come to think of it, do any your posts consist of anything but factually devoid comments?

Here's what I just wrote about CMNightrider's previous comments.

"If you consider posts pointing out he he's backtracking on many of his promises to be whiny etc. then you have a point. But if not, then all you've got is name calling. Come to think of it, do any your posts consist of anything but factually devoid comments? "

Now he's just confirming my point.

Perhaps you are confused and found yourself on a Trump thread.

Maybe In the future, you can find a thread on Sec. Clinton.

And vent your your unsubstantiated claims there.

 

While deflecting the rest of my post.

Typical.

Indubitably.  General Petraeus is a military genius.

Which explains his massive lack of success in Afghanistan.

[Silurian]

Petraeus would have to notify his parole officer of his job change and of his movements. I believe this would be the first time in US History that a Sec of State would have to report to a parole officer. Maybe "da Prez" can perform some pardoning there so to make things smoother.

 

Petraeus will have to notify his probation officer if Trump taps him as secretary of state

He was convicted, HRC wasn't. It's all about second chances if it fits a partisan agenda.

A general who can't keep a secret. Not seeing any genius  in that.

I used to think his genius - and his only genius - was for promoting himself.  But then he got caught giving secrets to his girlfriend. Not a genius move.

One wonders how long the Trump fanboys can deflect every valid criticism of their cult leader by claiming Hillary is a bigger crook?

 

4 years?

Meanwhile, HRC hasn't even been *charged* with a crime, let alone convicted. Not even after numerous investigations by several separate and independent bodies, some of which were openly *determined* to find reasons to lay actual charges.

Luckily for her, the President-elect feels sorry for her. A fair justice department would have charged her for sure.

Well if "You The People" think that Trump is the answer then good luck with that!  So far  he is following the politicians mantra of going back on just about everything he promised in his campaign.  You can't get more "Politician" than that

 

We do not as yet know

But.......One thing we do know is you & yours even after seeing decades of ruin

would continue to instead bend over & spell RUN

 

Lets just see how the 1st year goes shall we ?

You might follow your own advice. Try reading your link for a start. There was plenty of controversy. The FBI agents that did the investigation strongly felt that she should have been charged. General Petraeus did not have political cover.

Thank you so much for the education.  This article confirms Hillary the Liar's incompetence.  Fortunately for America, this woman along with her crime family and Obama, will fade away into history as the incompetent buffoons they are.

 

On a happier note, president elect Trump is continuing to choose both stellar insiders as well as outsiders to fill his cabinet.  In spite of all the liberal, left-wing, hysterical rants, Trump will make America great again.
