If you have played poker, you have played against a guy like my friend Woody. Woody talks a big game, makes big bets, relentlessly raises the stakes at all kinds of inappropriate times and usually walks away with the biggest pot at the end of the night. President Trump is like Woody. He would be a nightmare to play poker against. He is always on offense. He is always making a big show of his big bets. When he does fold, he does it so quietly, nobody really notices, because he is on with his next big bet. Predictability used to be the hallmark of America’s international policy. But Trump has changed that equation.

The majority of American people are going all in on for this President. They trust him to do what is right for the country and its people. He, more than any other President has confronted our enemies both foreign and domestic to our advantage. Whether he is boastful or not, he is doing the job the American people voted for and doing it very well.

Just about anyone with a 401K has a lot to thank President Trump for. It would take a lousy investor not to have seen their folder grow in value.

While being bold is certainly an advantage that Trump brings from his business background, this article brushes by the most important aspect of Trump. Usually he is right, especially for the Country. We have the best economy in 50 years with exceptional benefits to the lower and middle class. That didn't happen just because Trump was bold. It happened because he did LOTS of the RIGHT THINGS. BO and the dems did some bold things. They passed BOCare and BO ordered DACA. Both of those things were failures and part of the reason the dems are no longer in power. Dems are incompetent and corrupt. They do LOTS of the WRONG THINGS.
The article is demeaning in that it tries to reduce Trump to the typical political gambler, only in it for themselves. They don't get it that Trump is in it for The People. The results PROVE that. Yeah, I am sure Trump feels pride at what he has accomplished. But even when Trump takes a victory lap he talks about WHAT has been accomplished for The People. He uses "WE" rather than "I", like BO did. Further, Trump is working for America. He didn't have to decimate ISIS. He didn't have to confront China. He didn't have to move the US Embassy to Jerusalem. He did these things because they were the RIGHT THINGS to do for America. He could have easily chosen a typical politician's path of doing things that make him look good but were not the best for American interests. Instead he took the bolder path, the RISKIER path to do the RIGHT THINGS for America. Lincoln made those kind of bold, difficult choices.
Trump deserves to be reelected because he is the best president that has come along in many, many decades. Many presidents are known for the one or two big things that they did. When the dust settles on his legacy, Trump may be known for the numerous very good things he accomplished for America.

Yeah, it's in the bag...no sweat there.
I remember a very popular president who won a war against a Middle East bully boy dictator, hit 90 percent in the polls, held a victory parade, and once asked us to read his lips. Couldn't lose.
Got a second-rate, came from nowhere opponent, governor of a poor southern state with baggage. Couldn't lose.
And then the economy made a minor correction, small downside, and it was blown into the Great Depression II. A third-party candidate came in, crazy little fellow some here may have supported. Still, the great war leader couldn't lose.
And then came election day. That 90% approval rating was far from representing the vote he received, and that once-popular President LOST.
The UNIPARTY will run a credible, highly promoted and well-financed "moderate Republican" third party candidate in November. Maybe he just announced. Hillary made the mistake of dismissing the Deplorables. Hope PDT doesn't make that mistake with the "moderate RINOs" and "pearl clutchers".
Of course, he can't lose. No worries.

Yes, #3, we have to be very wary of election fraud recreating a Bush v. Gore scenario.

Let's roll. By the way, Kimmie and Bashar Assad, I'm sure that you both understand now that dispatching the Iranian general was a gentle reminder that you best not act up anytime soon or you may be receiving your own singing telegram from the President. The telegram will be delivered by a girl named Reaper.

Vote bundling and registration of illegal aliens in California will have to be solved before we can win the House back. So far nothing was done. Democrats steal elections.

Don't forget, vote Republican for everyone (even if you have to hold your nose), and crawl across broken glass to get to the polls....

A lot can happen in eleven months. Conservatives, keep your powder dry.

#2, yes, exactly. Here is putting some numbers on it. The Dow was bumping along at about 18,000 in September and October of 2016, just before the election. Currently it is just short of 29,000.
Call that a 10,000 point runup (nearly 11,000 actually). That is a 55-60% increase in value for folks who had the most "brain dead" investment portfolio, the Dow Index funds. For folks who had better managed investments, their investments could easily be up 75% in three years.
A person with $200K in investments in Oct 2016 will have ~$310-320K in that same account with a Dow Index type of return. Who can't be happy to have an extra $110,000 -$120,000 delivered into their retirement fund by this President?
Those who had saved more, will have earned more. Many people now have much more secure retirements than they had imagined to be possible under The Zero. THAT gets votes.
