This is my first post so I thought I'd try to generate some debate.

I've got some advice for the TDS crowd. Read this if you can, because a little bit of medicine now could make swallowing later a whole lot easier. Or as I said to quite a few friends and family last year, think it is rough on you now? Just wait and see, because it is going to be a long eight years ahead for you.

David Von Drehle: Don't expect Trump's political fortunes to collapse; Do expect him to dominate the political debate | Othercolumnists | tulsaworld.com

Not a bad piece, and surprisingly realistic.

I am an independent, and while I didn't vote for Trump, I accept the fact that he won the election. Just as I have with any president, I expect them to prove themselves one way or another, before I judge them a failure or a success.

So far, Trump's not doing too badly. But he has at least two more years to screw things up, or make us fly.

I'll wait and see.

Trump gains steam everyday. The left is so busy hating on him, they are not able to see what is happening.

I agree, glad you enjoyed it. I'm fairly confident that in the next two years the TDS crowd will excitedly and frantically keep on indulging in the exact same behavior and lunacy they are now. In fact I expect them to ramp the lunacy all the way up to 11 the closer we get to the next election. Simply making Trump's path that much easier for him.

To the TDS crowd I'd say that's not a blue wave folks, that's just a blue wave of Tidy Bowl coming at you.

Of course I could always be wrong. But I do have money bet on this so I hope not!

Our economy has been freakin' outstanding under Trump, reaching and breaking heights and records not seen in a very long time. He's also excelled in many other areas. The only thing that could slow down the progress of the Trump Train is if libs take the Senate and/or the House.

Well I'll say the following, without detracting from Trump's accomplishments so far. We are in about our eighth year of recovery and Trump in addition to doing some positive things, also benefits by his timing upon coming into office.

Trump could always implode too, but I get the feeling he won't. The TDS crowd has tried to burn him in the crucible but really only served to strengthen his hand and his standing, so completely lunatic and 24/7 is their non stop shrieking. And as I said earlier today, I expect they will only shriek more and more as we approach the next election. I don't think the DNC has a chance of stealing the house and senate. For that very reason. I hate Trump is not a really smart political platform.

Or anything much else either.

That's the way I see it, too...

Come election season, the "average joe" will think "Will I vote for the guy who didn't make everything crash, and, in fact, made things a little better? Or do I vote for the candidate over there foaming at the mouth and looking like they need a rabies shot?"....

Seeing the country's collapse under the weight of unrelenting propaganda, I don't doubt what you say, but pray for a miracle.

A co-worker and I were talking the other day about the frequency with which each new Trump "scandal" headline breaks in the twenty four hour news cycle. We put it at about every two hours, twenty four hours a day. For sixteen months now. You add in the non stop lunacy hand wringing and pronouncements that he is a a racist, a nazi who wants to eat all the children and rape all of the women and possibly beat his wife and sent her into hiding? You've got an already jaded public really weary of it all. Keep in mind what the public thought of congress and the news media before Trump even got sworn in. Neither of them have done anything to alleviate their perception since then, rather the opposite.

Yeah, but even prayer won't make "I hate Trump" a winning cause for the democrats.
