You are rehashing material that has already been discussed. I have no further interest in the subject matter, given that it has nothing to do with OP.

You’ve been very clear that you’ve decided to redefine principles to justify supporting Trump.
Case in point: fiscal conservatism

I don’t know how you can continually miss the point. It’s not that complicated.
You felt you only had two real choices. That’s a flaw in the system.

You’re moving on because you can’t reconcile it. You’ve never explained it and never will. You can’t.
Tax cuts > morality for conservatives. Jesus also said to sell out for tax cuts

It does have something to d with the OP. You claimed to care about issues, not the moral flaws of the candidates. I’m pointing out the person you voted for isn’t supporting the issue you claim to care about. He is not governing i a fiscally conservative way.
Which is exactly what I predicted Trump haters would do. They have declared Trump to be a closet Liberal, thus my argument about being an issues voter falls apart.
The only problem with that is Trump is governing as a conservative, despite what Trump haters are saying.

If the President is governing as a fiscal conservative, then why is the deficit skyrocketing at full employment?
As I stated earlier. We are done.
It is obvious to me that you have no idea what you are talking about, so further discussion would be pointless.
I’m done playing this silly game. By your ridiculous measure, there has never been a fiscal conservative in Government because the deficit has been going up every year. And please don’t point to Clinton as a fiscal conservative because of the small handful of balanced budgets.
No they didn’t. Like minded forum members simply recited their well rehearsed talking points in lock step.

Your RW talking points don’t negate the fact that they did make the case.

Not at all.
There are definitely times when the deficit is expected to go up and it is even a good thing that it does go up.
An economic downturn is one of those times.
But we are not in an economic down downturn… nor have we been in one for quite a while.
Before Trump took office, the deficit was going down. Now two years in it has exploded to levels not seen since there was an enormous financial meltdown.
Ten years ago, deficit spending at this level meant that we were shambling towards Socialism.
Now it is a mark of fiscal Conservatism.
I am really trying to wrap my head around this.
They simply recited the talking point that Trump isn’t a fiscal conservative because we have deficit spending.
That is nothing but a talking point from those who really have no clue what they are talking about.
The only case that has been made is that those reciting the talking points don’t understand the difference between supply side and Keynesian economic theory.
We have almost RECORD deficit spending AT FULL EMPLOYMENT
So are you trying to make the case that Obama was a fiscal conservative? Seriously???
