    I like the idea of trying to find some good here Riverman.

    My personal opinion is that Donald Trump just wanted to win the election and didn't actually want the job. But I have to give him credit for the fact that, while he is not a political insider (so this has to be more challenging for him than it would be for a career politician), his nominees are getting through the vetting process fairly seamlessly and do seem to be legitimately interested in the jobs he's appointing them to - I'm willing to give them a chance.

    The polls don't matter because they're bullshit. They're skewed by butthurt pollsters in hopes of driving the agenda. And they're failing miserably because they've been exposed as the frauds they are.

    They finally changed the history books about all that when the first actual Taiwanese native born president Lee Tung Huei was elected even though he was converted to the KMT party...the KMT glossed over the genocide of 18 aboriginal tribes and the Fukienese Taiwanese farmers and fishermen who'd been there for hundreds of years...basically the same tribe as Okinawans...Chiang Kai Shek and his mainlanders just took everything in sight and killed off all the leaders...my wife was shocked she'd grown up with lies about the history....but Carter is the guy who voted them out of the UN and kissed China's butt

    He hasn't taken office yet, and all the things he's done during transition are either awesome (jobs, jobs, jobs) or expected (he won, he gets to pick his cabinet).

    Anything else is imaginary.

    Oh, okay, well that's totally reasonable and absolutely 100% true and awesome so, my bad - let's call it a complete success. Hooray.

    BTW, the Blazers have won several games including a rout of the Cleveland Cavaliers and they are expected to win more this season. Clearly no more games are needed. We should declare them World Champs and forego the next 4 seasons... who's with me?

    Well, there is more. He's made clear overtures to many of his detractors. Those who meet him in person, including Obama, say good things about him. And then the PR storm marches on.

    The guy is obviously a jerk at best. But he does seem to care and he does seem to want to do well for everyone.
