I also agree with a good chunk of that.

I said pretty early in the Trump presidency that if we had to have a Republican, Trump might be the best option because he's so incompetent at politics that he can't get his party to do much of anything.

Tax "reform" (read: fucking over the little guy for the donors) should have been the easiest thing for Republicans to pass, but they struggled to even get a majority in each individual chamber.


So far like obama largely undoable.

Except for this time it's not pragmatism versus ideology.

It's one really far-right ideology unwilling to compromise with the slightly less far-right ideology, that is ironically the same really far-right base that got him elected in the first place.

at this point i expect trump to either get almost nothing done in 4-8 years with alt right support or shift to a 100% center ideology and get a lot done, but still be as antagonistic on social media. He's already started to shift to center on quite a few issues and i can see some issues that would give him universal support. i outlined a military and border security joint venture the other day that would be a slam dunk, it would also put pressure on mexico big time to stop the flow on their end, which will invariably lead to us funding most of said control and doing joint ventures with their govt to combat cartels where they operate, so a slam dunk alley ooped into a home run.

which ones would those be? im sure u have a list, as you said "predictions".

I admitted i was wrong about the POTUS election and admitted who i was out of touch with to lead me to that.

Whereas you're wrong all the time then you run like a bitch with a "liberal tears" post after i block quote your sources back to you that you didnt read.

id be happy to take a poll about who has more credability between us, but lets be honest you're in the bottom 10% a few slots above Ghot.

And hey, its almost the end of the year when people post their favorite posters of the year lists that you rarely make.

Predictions are based on your internal schema for the world at large. False prediction = false inward schema
