Conservatives and Republicans are beginning to see big trouble in this Administration. I'm not saying that a border wall is a good idea. (I would have suggested a high-speed train threading its way in border country, connecting Mexican and American cities, including cities on the borders.  The westernmost two cities would be San Diego and Tijuana and the easternmost cities would be Brownsville and Matamoros.

Obviously a war for profit would stimulate defense manufacturing... I'm not sure that I want to have Seoul turned into a mass of cinders as a result or a cause. And don;t invade either Cuba or Venezuela.

I concur with Ann Coulter on a need for a crackdown on opiates, whether street drugs or misused oxy.

I'm not sure that anyone can restore the prosperity of the steel, automobile, or coal industries as they were in the 1950s. We don't need much more industrial production per capita to met needs. The problem is that we need the jobs. Donald Trump blundered gravely by promising something that he cannot achieve. People are not going to trade their cars in every four years as they did back in the early 1960s unless they do ungodly levels of driving, as might a traveling sales rep.

Trump did the demagogue route to get elected. Demagogues always disappoint, and often horrify us when they become tyrants.

Mister, we could use a man like Barack Obama again!

Ironically, I sort of agree with the thrust of Coulter's comments here.

So do I.

Coulter owes nothing to Donald Trump, so she can refuse to jump on the dubious bandwagon.  The erratic foreign policy is dangerous. The demagoguery could have never been supported in legislative results. The ethnic and religious bigotry are incompatible with rulings of the Supreme Court.

The Presidency offers no shortage of temptations for lashing out in anger and opportunities for abuse of power as well as challenges to mental stability. Whoever is elected President must have undeniable stability of mind (which does not allow for rigidity) and a solid moral compass.

As I have said that I would have had to vote for any potential Republican nominee in 2016 except perhaps for Ted Cruz (religious nut), Scott Walker (Machiavellian), or Ben Carson (clearly not up to the job) over Donald Trump had Trump been the nominee and been making boilerplate liberal promises while showing the same amorality and demagoguery (as if demagoguery is not itself grossly amoral), I am beginning to see conservatives recognizing that Donald Trump is a horrible mistake as President.  

Muslim  ban? What about political dissidents from Iran or from ISIS-held territory who are Muslims? What about the large numbers of Albanian, Indian, Indonesian, Malaysian, and Turkish Muslims who believe in the same liberal theories of government as we do? We can keep creeps from ISIS from entering the USA with a federal law that prohibits anyone who has violated human rights from visiting or residing in the USA -- a law originally directed at Nazis and their collaborators? Take note that as late as the 1980s the United States denaturalized  Fyodor Fedorenko, who had come to the USA as a displaced person but had participated in Nazi war crimes and extradited him to the Soviet Union, where he  was convicted as a traitor and war criminal and executed. People have since been expelled and extradited from the United States for persecutions and violations of human rights.
