Arch-Conservatives Flee Trump

FIRST PERSON -- "I Voted for Trump. And I Sorely Regret It," by Julius Krein in the NYT: "I supported the Republican in dozens of articles, radio and TV appearances, even as conservative friends and colleagues said I had to be kidding. As early as September 2015, I wrote that Mr. Trump was 'the most serious candidate in the race.' ... I saw the decline in this country - its weak economy and frayed social fabric - and I thought Mr. Trump's willingness to move past partisan stalemates could begin a process of renewal. It is now clear that my optimism was unfounded. I can't stand by this disgraceful administration any longer, and I would urge anyone who once supported him as I did to stop defending the 45th president. Far from making America great again, Mr. Trump has betrayed the foundations of our common citizenship. And his actions are jeopardizing any prospect of enacting an agenda that might restore the promise of American life." http://nyti.ms/2uVWDyn

I worked for a major corporation and was the #2 exec there.

I now call them demonicrats and repubics. I wish they would learn to do the work they were elected to do instead of seeking total power and control of the people.

No you weren't.
Unless exec now means janitor, then I believe you.

If the MSM would leave him alone and not condemn or ridicule every word or action he makes, then maybe he could actually do his job... The lack of respect they give President Trump is apparent in every word they say. Half of the time they can't even call him President, it's Mr. Trump. I am still behind him.
We need to get all the swamp people out of office, whether they are Democrats or Republicans. We need term limits. With this society of technology, our elected officials do not have to be in Washington all the time. They can have electronic meetings and come to Washington a few times a year. That would help curb some of this "lobbyist" bribing, etc, etc......
