The funny thing is you two are making sense, talking in a calm and constructive manner and seem to know what you are talking about. I doubt Trump will ever get close to this level of discourse in his Presidency!

As for bringing calm and reassurance to the world...it's a mess! ISIS ran wild, Russia is invading countries and on the brink of nuclear war, China is building islands off the Philippines and seizing international ocean lanes, not to mention Brexit...my God, it's a mess. Not all of it is Obama's fault, but much of it is. Oh, and we lost Libya and Afghanistan too.
If you think it's a mess now, just wait. Trump didn't even know that Russia invaded the Ukraine.
The world is always a mess. That's nothing new. But the current mess was created by the Republicans, and made infinitely worse by Assad, who's slaughtering his own people and creating the massive immigrant problem that sometimes shields a terrorist among the immigrants. At least Obama was able to slow it down the mess early on in his first term. You don't get the Nobel Peace Prize for nuthin' (or for grabbing p***y).
I doubt Trump will ever get close to this level of discourse in his Presidency!
I read today about Trump mentioning parts of Obamacare -- good parts -- that he thinks are worthy of retaining! Pre-existing conditions. Extended coverage for young adults.
I'll be double-damned if he isn't listening to a bit of reason -- "common sense," as he so often put it -- while Republicans must be foaming at the mouth.
I will latch onto any small ray of sunshine these days, but I find this very encouraging. I wonder how much of what he said on the stump was just BS to get elected?

Those 2 pieces of any insurance plan are no brainers, and have nothing to do with all that's wrong with ObamaCare.

I also heard that and had the same reaction as you (hearing anything from him that's not insane is good - that's the bar), but then minutes later the media reported that he wants Steve Bannon to serve as his Chief of Staff. If that's true, we're in for a rough ride.

But they haven't always been law.
I am no huge defender of the act -- do not get me wrong -- what I am getting at is how incredible it is to hear him LISTENING to others and acting on his best non-partisan instincts.
To listen to him changing his mind -- even a bit -- after getting some facts.
That is what gives me hope. Don't rob me of my hope, you doofus! Not while I am trying to convince myself that the end of the world is not at hand.
You can talk about Clinton's corruption all you want, just wait until the man who never said no to a deal he didn't like has 4 years of political white house corruption behind him.
His 3 adult children, all of whom actively run his businesses, are serving on his transition team. So much for separating his business interests from the country's interests. It's just beginning.

I'm no fan of the man, you know that, but how about this...we know he HATES to lose. He refers to himself as a winner. He's not a republican at heart. So, what if now that he's won, he's not going to push through some hard line republican ideas. That is not his agenda. What if his agenda is to make himself go down in history as a great president? I bet you that's more important to him than get some conservative legislation pushed through. Crazy?

He has a Republican Congress. Sufficient votes to pass Democratic Party leaning legislation aren't there.
Hey Bogey. I experienced the attitude to look up to China in Europe as well.
You must be clear there's also a China where people in the North live without electricity in the 21st century and fear winter every year. I'm more convinced you mean the other side of China that builds golden temples.
They both exist. In the docus I watch about China, I see so many sheds that I don't think the press built a studio of Chinese slums to fool us.
