The soldiers of the Army of the Potomac were initially skeptical of General Grant when he took command in 1864. They had seen many Generals come and go, and more than a few of them suspected that Grant would be on his way soon enough, yet another General defeated by Robert E. Lee and assigned to historical oblivion. After his Overland Campaign got underway, with Grant’s refusal to admit defeat in the face of appalling casualties and his relentless pressure on the Army of Northern Virginia as it was pushed back to the outskirts of Richmond, his troops began to change their minds. As one New England private put it simply in his diary, “We felt at last that the Boss had arrived.”
Trump is rude and crude, but he does his best to keep his campaign promises and he is unafraid to fight his adversaries in both politics and the media, assuming that there is any difference between those categories now. I was beyond skepticism as to Trump in 2016, reluctantly voting for him, but I have to admit that he has far exceeded my hopes and banished my initial considerable fears. For the good of this nation, a competent, at least compared to the Presidents since Reagan, boss is now at the helm, and I will do what I can to ensure this is the case for the next four years.
Amen! Me too! I’ve been engaging with family and friends – gotta get out the vote everywhere!
Living in Massachusetts, I can tell you the liberals (I am surrounded, lol) are stunned and demoralized. They do not believe in their own candidates and have inescapably come to believe in the President’s competence.
They still “hate” the Boss, but there’s no substance to it.
2020 is looking really good.
Free Range Truth For Free.
David WS, A close friend is lifelong CA man. He tells me it’s getting worse out there. The liberals are going crazy and are approaching peak unbearable. I tell him to move to Wyoming.
President Trump is popular among the daily Mass crowd hereabouts.
Thank God for President Trump warts and all.
If you are a Catholic, Church Teaching says you must be anti-abortion. It’s a nonnegotiable and it’s not a single issue thing. You cannot support in any way a Democrat/pro-abortion candidate, no matter how much free stuff he/she promises to steal from taxpayers and giver to sinners. That is not Charity nor is it among the corporal works of mercy.
Amen brother!
With social media President Trump has ink barrel parity with the legacy media. With Trump the left is finding out the hard way that it truly is more blessed to give than to receive. When Trump talks about Fake News he is usually a very cheerful giver. Until the left gives up its Alinskyite tactics I don’t see how Trump can deescalate his rhetoric. The left is only able to stomach the establishment Republicans because they usually practice unilateral disarmament. The media only has to wag their fingers at them and they roll over and play dead. Trump’s brash behavior during the debates brought this into clear view. The people saw what a fighter looks like.
