Yes - you have the Sloppy Narcissist, Trump following the Neat Narcissist, Obama.
I hate Trump. He is a shallow, reflexive person with a filter that alternates between good tactical and opticalrectumitis. I am starting to think his ego for running for President (job is harder than he thought) is to rub elbows with other world leaders - like the next level of his biz CEO contemporaries.
But he is filling a niche that has not been filled for sometime, a more moderate, Constitutional / Law-centric position (arguably at least where/when it does not apply to him).
Law: Borders
Customs: Lawful entry
Customs: Import fees (I'm seeing people paying more in import fees then ever before)
2A:
National Defense: resolving some budgeting wrongs (CR not only reduced money but had money restricted to wrong places)
I can't stand Trump but I am not convinced he is worse than Hillary

I'm not happy he won, But I'm happy as hell she didn't. |

THat is a good way of describing them - although I would add Trump is a serial liar. |

I would ask you to put up a list of his lies and then I could put up a list of Trump's and we could compare the amount but I know you're going to respond with your typical response where you state you can't be bothered to back up your accusation. |

His lying grew from ideology. Trump does not have an ideological cell in his body.
Either way DJT or HRC we were screwed. No good and evil here, just blehhck |

Agreed, getting Scalia replaced with someone similar, is so far, worth the formidable price we pay for Trump, IMHO. |
