Establishment over the fascists. Some of you are getting played and are none the wiser.

Certainly, I prefer our established political norms opposed to the proposed path to MAGA fascism promoted by Donald Trump & Steve Bannon. If that means I being played, so be it.

Hunh.

just catching up a bit.

What is this mysterious "MAGA fascism" that you and the doddler-in-thief prattle on about every time he opens his mouth? (Other than to try to french kiss his granddaughter or slurp up the tapioca?)

This should be fascinating. I thought the Drumpf was a liberal?!?

Oh my gosh what a knee slapper. Even if we leave out the Trump part, which Kruciff can't do. I'm anxiously awaiting your education on this.

Oh wise one, please help us mere mortals understand.

Tell us just WHAT Mitt Romney has done for the party.

Please. I could list his entire life work, make up a story how he saved an orphanage full of children, and you'd still come up with some whatabout to defend your Cheeto Che Guevara.

Trump promised everything and accomplished nothing. Romney could beat that even with a decade of incompetence head start.

For example, Romney accomplished a budget surplus in Massachusetts with no partisan support. Trump rigged the economy for a deficit, for the next decade.

Please expand on the bold. No talking points please.

That’s an impossibility. Kinda like asking pigs to fly.

You don't know much about the budget, do you?

You might check out the CBO budget projections from January 2017, which do not consider anything done or proposed by Trump. See https://www.cbo.gov/data/budget-economic-data for a list and select January 2017. They show the deficit, as a result of Obama's and his predecessors' policies only, never going below $487B, and going to $1T by 2023, and remaining above $1T and growing annually in perpetuity thereafter ($9.4T over the decade 2018-2027).

Obama was a master of illusion. He managed to make the deficit reach a minimum at the end of his term (making the decrease look like his doing) but then grow rapidly and uncontrollably thereafter (making his successor look bad).

The Trump Tax Cuts cost Americans $10,000,000,000,000

Sure wish we had that money to sponsor politicians wars and other endeavors politicians decide to take on.

You are clearly part of the problem. You believe that your Government has the answers and your politicians are taking you to the cleaners
