    I didn't vote for the guy and don't like his persona much but I will give credit where credit is due and its just my opinion so don't get to riled up.

    He has help cut regulations that have helped the economy. It also has helped companies come back to the States.
    Weather we like it or not he did cut taxes, which I'm in favor of as a small government proponent.
    No more death tax.
    It looks like he has put the hurt on ISIS.
    After many Presidents talked about (both sides too) moving US embassy to Jerusalem, its now done.
    Has been able to negotiate better deal with Mexico, that helps both countries.
    Put the heat on Euro's to take on fair share of financing NATO.
    He will now take on the cost of prescription drugs.
    Trump is definitely rough and chaotic and not real diplomatically polished and I don't agree with all his positions and would prefer a libertarian President, but I'm honest enough to recognize some accomplishments.
    In business I always conveyed to my employees to never get caught up in bad mouthing the competition, as kit doesn't reflect well imo.

    Listen Obama & Clinton did some great things too and voters kept them in office.

    This is true. But again, they're already Trump's base.

    I guess maybe I didn't explain properly. I think you're discounting the people who voted for her only because she's a woman.

    Looks like you got that off of a pro trump site.

    You know the estate tax still exists right?

    I think I agree with what you say.
    But just to be clear, I don't want anything a Democrat or a socialist might promise.:cool2:

    So when they do get elected, not filling any campaign promises is a good deal!

    Conservative judges.
    Business tax rates more competitive with the rest of the world.
    Others in progress.

    One thing that keeps being forgotten with Sanders is that he really isn't a Democrat but only ran as a Democrat to have the backing as independents have very little chance at being elected as a president.. Once he lost he went back to being independent. He also didn't raise near as much money as Clinton did for the Democratic party.

    Yeah, cause trickle down economics has really proven to help so many. The tax cut was a scam labeled as a boost for the middle class on down and really only helped the large corporations and the billionaires club. They could have easily given bigger breaks to those in need and lessen the gains by the rich and corporations. When will minimum wage be raised to a more acceptable level and when with the middle class and lower start seeing pay raises?

    Here are some other accomplishments Trump has accomplished

    another thing that tends to get lost and over looked is that Clinton did beat Trump by a large number of the popular vote. If the Dems had a man running it might have been enough to pull the votes also needed to win the electoral vote.

    ...judges were not an accomplishment...that fell into his lap...any GOP POTUS would have done the same...hell, Donald fucking Ducking could have done that.

    ...business taxes/...seriously?...how does that help the average Joe?...do you really think companies will now lower their prices in order to help us?...hell no, all the tax break did was to increase corporate profits.

    So Bernie would have taken Ohio, Wis, Mich & Penn, Florida etc.
    I agree a male demo with left/moderate views could have won. I don't agree that an extreme lefty could however, maybe sometime I just don't see it now.
    And yes, I could be wrong.

    If you say so. But Trump doing the job instead of Hillary was important to me.
