    So...some of you guys try to set the rules of debate - no reference to Obama and his administration - Sorry, but that doesn't cut it.

    In the academy, they teach 3 responses to a question of a superior officer: (1) Yes Sir; (2) No Sir (3) No excuse Sir.

    Reference it all you want. But if you are going to condemn Obama for something and then when Trump does something similar you excuse it, that doesn't cut it either. Again, I thought draining the swamp was going to get rid of all this politics as usual. All the typical DC corruption. Instead Trump supporters are using it as a defense to excuse his actions.

    So, when Obama got into office and kept referencing the terrible economic conditions he inherited from his predecessor, you were OK with that, right?

    Yes, it would be ideal. I'm not going to get too worked up about the department of Energy. Same thing with DeVos at Education.

    Hey, since we are rifling through presidents....do you guys remember Richard M. Nixon.....he was a POTUS who got raked over the coals because he knew about the Watergate break-in....OK, somebody would say he ordered it. But look at the magnitude of it all & tell me if he needed to be raked over the coals, made to resign in shame yada yada.

    He has done so more than any other president in modern history.

    He's actually keeping his promises to the people that elected him.

    One of the dumbest things I have ever seen from you.

    You've really got it bad.

    Yep, attack me, don't comment on the fact that only 6 out of 10 people think Trump keeps his promises.

    That's it. Run and hide. Pretend you didn't say

    "So he keeps 6 out of 10 promises. That's a grade of "D"."

    I hate to break this to you , but "people" and "promises" are not the same thing.

    You're really eat up with it. Trump is living in your head rent free. Hate will do that to you.

    I hate to break this to you but Earth Wind and Fire asked you to give examples of the promises he's kept and YOU posted a poll that said 62% of people think Trump is keeping his promises. So you set the criteria that "people" = "promises" and then you attack me for using it.

    Blah, blah, blah. Attack InTheLight.

    Yes or no, 6 out of 10 people thinking Trump keeps his promises is a great ratio?

    I would look at a 62% positive-result poll as having achieved success 62% of the time and having failed 38%.

    Fine, point out the hypocrisy of the left. (You'll be busy 24/7/365!) But condemn errors on the right when they occur. Don't just point to a similar error by Dems and say, "see".
