Anyone on right agree with Trump in this thread?

Lol at 42 votes all 100% on one side. We couldn't try such poll even if we tried as a joke.
 
You kidding? A better poll would be to predict the number of lies he's going to tell. I'd say at least 5, though that's being charitable.
 
I am predicting it will be the best Presidential address ever given, according to many, many people. Tremendous amounts of people. Big league success.
 
If the choice came down to allowing the country to be propelled into the worst crisis since the Civil War with a totally unknowable outcome and deposing Trump in favor of two (comparatively tranquil) years of President Pence I don't see much of an option, even for them.

I didn't think Republicans see him as an option when Trump joined the primary. I didn't think they had much of an option when he won the primary. I have sense stopped believing that Republicans have even one foot in reality when it comes to Trump. I think that If they believe that they can convince even 45% of Americans that the New Civil War is Democrats fault they will happily watch the country burn while they all vacation in Europe.

I really don't think there is a line. Maybe if he raped a kid on national TV, and only maybe.

As long as the kid is a female GOP fine with it.

Only if the kid was poor, of color, or Democrat. I am not even sure that if it was one of those they would care if it was female or not.

And I'm predicting that Trump will tell us so during the address.
 
Phrases expected to hear...

"like no one has ever seen"
"I have heard"
"people are saying"
"I know more then ___________"
 
I predict I’ll hear that the southern border is being over run by millions of criminals, tens of thousands of MS13 gang members, thousands of terrorists and a side serving of heroine.
What else could it be?
If Trump mentions Mexico as a source of heroin, he'll lose his base on this issue.
 
Numb nuts better be tethered to a teleprompter. If he goes off the reservation which he is apt to do, who knows what crazy crap will come out of him. This to me will be a game changer for his base and the Repubs if he completely goes to crazytown.
 
It’s completely obvious what will happen. Trump is going to declare a state of emergency and setup a Constitutional showdown over executive powers.

The intent of this and the government shutdown is to throw the Democrat House majority off balance, and continue to solidify his base. Once he loses his base, the GOP leadership will turn on him. All of this is to prevent that from happening. Trump knows he survives if he sustains support from the Senate, and he won’t lose that support so long as he throws red meat to his base.

No, it throws the Republic off balance.
 
He'll declare a national emergency to get fence funding. Thats my prediction.

He'll declare a national emergency in a failed attempt for fence funding. Truman had an arguably superior reason to go for it since it was during war and the SCOTUS smacked him. Since there's no demonstrable national emergency to any sane mind then same thing. Saying, 4000 terrorists, means nothing especially since the border isn't where they are coming. A wall on the Canada border next?

More simply put why is it an emergency now when it wasn’t an emergency last month. What has changed?

Dems now having control of the house and providing oversight on Trump admin. Stuff trump could get away with before probably won't fly now with the dems having the house.

Exactly but it still doesn’t explain why it’s an emergency now but wasn’t an emergency two weeks ago.
 
A wall will not stop drugs from entering our country!
Building a wall will not stop sex traffickers from doing what they do!
Building a wall will not stop anything that Trumps says are the reasons for the wall!!
Trumps is now lying...because there really is no crisis...…..only the racists believe there is an actual crisis!@!
here we go blaming killings and rapes and murders and dismemberingson all illegal aliens....
Trump says he has met will dozens of family and he has help the hands of greif stricken families who have lost loved ones because there is no border security --- I seriously doubts that more than 5% is actually true that he is spouting off!!
 
Beheadings!


Otherwise nothing new...never used the word "wall" and the colossal prick tried to sound compassionate, the end.

What a letdown.
