“Trump has been more successful so far than Democrats ever expected or are willing to admit”
I made a rare public appearance this weekend.
This past weekend, I spoke on a panel at an event in Leominster, MA on Trump’s first year in office. It was sponsored by the Worcester Tea Party and moderated by Peter Ingemi of Datechguyblog.
Other panelists included Chip Faulkner of Citizens for Limited Taxation, Dianna Ploss from the Boston Chapter of Act for America, and Christopher Maider from the Meat and Potatoes Radio show.
The audience was an intimate crowd of about fifty people who were strongly pro-Trump, which was fascinating considering this was Massachusetts. Peter Ingemi began with questions of his own but eventually shifted to questions directly from attendees.
Topics included the economy, immigration, national security, media bias, social justice warriors, the 2018 midterms, the 2020 election and more.
One of the strongest takeaways for me was the fact that people in the audience, who presumably don’t follow media and politics as closely as bloggers, were fully aware of the tactics Democrats and their media allies are using to try to “resist” Trump. They see through it all and are happy about what Trump has been able to achieve in his first year.
I sat for a quick interview with Peter after the event and offered further thoughts on a few topics. He asked me what I saw happening this year and whether Democrats would ultimately work with Trump. My response was:
“They (Democrats) are 100 percent invested in stopping Trump, not only stopping Trump but removing Trump, frankly. But I think you raise a very good point. Trump has been much more successful so far, I think, than the Democrats ever expected or are willing to admit, and I think that if he does succeed at brokering any kind of deal in the Middle East, he’ll be far more consequential as a president than they ever expected.”

If you really want to watch the full two hour plus event, the video is here.
I realize this was a small crowd but don’t forget it was Massachusetts. I think Democrats and the media sorely underestimate public support for Trump and his agenda.

Imagine what COULD have been achieved if Democrats hadn’t gone full retard from the get go! How much better would the lives of Democrats be if Democrats actually stopped resisting common sense and actually started to work to improve the lives of ALL Americans (not just the ones they approve of, namely non-Americans).
If they could do that they wouldn’t be Dems. Not that Republicans are much better.
Democrats aren’t interested in improving the lives of Americans. They’re interested in the Utopian farce of equality for everyone, which is another way of saying government-forced misery.
I would counter that with:
Think of all the progress that could have been made if the *Republicans* had gotten together with Trump upon his taking office instead of the six months +/- they’ve spent in abject terror that one of the pending charges against him were actually true, or that he was the unhinged nutcase the press made him out to be. (And Twitter, admittedly)
Admittedly, it took Trump to do the things the other presidential candidates have promised for the last three decades or so. We’re all so used to politicians who promise X and promptly turn left on ascending to the throne that having one who actually follows through is a considerable shock. (Particularly to the press, who have gone through the most amazing grand mal seizure over the last year)
Imagine what could have been accomplished if the NeverTrumpers weren’t joining the Democrats in going full retard?
Mike, I suspect that there are far more conservatives in Mass than imagined. Our situation is that we have no representation and will not likely ever achieve any due to the entrenched socialist political machine. The redux is that many of us just ignore the Mass contention and rely on representation from other states with elected Americans to do our bidding.
For a moment of levity, did you know that The John Birch Society was incorporated in Massachusetts? You gotta love it.
For that matter, John Birch was never a member of the Society named for him.
Thanks for reporting on the Worcester Tea Party.
Same situ in your southern neighbor.
Blumy and Murphy, ick! Blumy was the perfect ChrisDoddmini-me replacement. Ick! Lieberman had his moments of strength, mostly on national defense. No such moments with the 2 blokes we have now. 🙁
Conservatives in Massachusetts may not have the representation, but they most definitely have the taxation.
It’s good to hear that those who aren’t tuned in still see through what the Democrats are playing.
The left has fallen into the sins of Sodom or Gomorrah ( I forget which city). They have fashioned and illusionary dream-state, an alternate reality thats more pleasant for them to bask in.
Which means it will take them longer to identify the mistakes they made and correct them.
They pretended that are opposition to their policies was based on racist sexist homophobic. Their failure to address our concerns in this reality is why they got Trump.
Now the narrative is he’s a russian-backed Neo-Nazi idiot. And as they laugh at how incompetent he is at the art of politics and war, Trump is already laying waste to the foundations of their base.
We should feed their false narratives, whisper “Trump is a doomed moron” in their ears as they lay dreaming. Never fail to remind them how intelligent and enlightened and Superior they really are.
Because the longer they spend in their fantasy bubble, the longer it will take them to recognize and react to that crunching sound in the background.
Trump has the ‘rats at each other’s throats and the media sputtering like a Model T.

“Trump has been more successful so far than Democrats OR REPUBLICANS ever expected or are willing to admit”
There. I fixed that for you.
Or conservatives, as in national Review.
An epidemic of Dunning Kruger.
Conrad Black and Victor Davis Hanson beg to differ from your stupid BS.
See also Jonah Goldberg, you poor ill-read thing.
National review is just an epic anti-American POS.

And you’re an epic lying nutter POS. T-rump is not “America”, you moron.
We pause here to remind our readers that one of Rag’s major complaints against President Donald Trump is the lowering of decorum and standards for civilized discourse.
We now return you to your scheduled program.
Rag: … ” – you lying liar moron!”
“And you’re an epic lying nutter POS.”
Poor ragspee. You keep losing in public and do it badly.
You and Goldbug can get together and wonder why us deplorables just won’t listen.
Meanwhile, we’ll enjoy seeing you progs losing over and over.
“National review is just an epic anti-American POS.”
You’d better scrabble your lil’ rat carcass over to the several threads where NR is being quoted, so you can do your ThoughtPolicing Stazi best to correct them.
I’ll watch for it.
Victor Davis Hanson doesn’t agree with you. Now put down the crack pipe.
http://www.nationalreview.com/article/453024/never-trump-critics-gop-agree-core-issues
You’re the crack addict, moron. Conrad Black is a total T-rumpian. NR is not homogeneous, dope.
Trump has a better chance of brokering a deal than anyone else because he makes his own rules rather than listening to state department perennial failures.
Awesomeness, Mike!
