Is Trump Getting Ominously Cozy With BHO?

Barack Obama, Donald Trump, Trade

CAROL COSTELLO, CNN ANCHOR: Barack Obama “has only 42 days left in office and President Obama knows his legacy is at stake. Sources close to Obama’s transition say his plan right now is to try to persuade Donald Trump to keep some of his policies in place. And they say Obama is hopeful he can make his case because he feels Trump doesn’t have a passionate view about some issues. And, yes, the two men are talking. In fact, Mr. Trump says he likes Mr. Obama and has even sought his advice on cabinet picks.

Mr. Trump should remember his voters detest Mr. Obama. Mr. Trump can be certain Mr. Obama doesn’t like the president elect.

Ominous too:

President-elect Donald Trump and President Barack Obama have been in regular communication, a top Trump aide said Sunday.

If Cuba is the only thing about which Obama is advising Trump; I’m not terribly concerned. Cuba was the one policy Obama got right. Cuba was one of the few times I awarded “Brownie Points For Barack.”

‘Trump’s First Duty: Keep Faith With Those Who Put Their Faith In Him

Donald Trump, Elections, IMMIGRATION, Republicans, Taxation, Trade

Patrick Buchanan—whom, as suggested here, belongs in the Trump administration—warns Donald Trump … his first duty is to keep faith with those who put their faith in him.

… The protests, riots and violence that have attended his triumph in city after city should only serve to steel his resolve.

As for promptings that he “reach out” and “reassure” those upset by his victory, and trim or temper his agenda to pacify them, Trump should reject the poisoned chalice. This is the same old con. …

… For the historic opportunity he and the Republican Party have been given by his stunning and unanticipated victory of Nov. 8 will not last long. His adversaries and enemies in politics and press are only temporarily dazed and reeling.

This great opening should be exploited now.

Few anticipated Tuesday morning what we would have today: a decapitated Democratic Party, with the Obamas and Clintons gone or going, Joe Biden with them, no national leader rising, and only the power of obstruction, of which the nation has had enough.

The GOP, however, on Jan. 20, will control both Houses of Congress and the White House, with the real possibility of remaking the Supreme Court in the image of the late Justice Antonin Scalia.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Speaker Paul Ryan have indicated they are willing to work with President Trump.

There is nothing to prevent the new GOP from writing history.

In his first months, Trump could put a seal on American politics as indelible as that left by Ronald Reagan.

A partial agenda: First, he should ignore any importunings by President Obama to permit passage of the Trans-Pacific Partnership in a lame-duck session — and let the trade deal sink by year’s end.

On Jan. 20, he should have vetted and ready to nominate to the high court a brilliant constitutionalist and strict constructionist.

He should act to end interference with the Dakota Access pipeline and call on Congress to re-enact legislation, vetoed by Obama, to finish the Keystone XL pipeline. Then he should repeal all Obama regulations that unnecessarily restrict the production of the oil, gas and clean coal necessary to make America energy independent again.

Folks in Pennsylvania, southeast Ohio, Kentucky and West Virginia should be shown, by executive action, that Trump is a man of his word. And when the mines open again, he should be there.

He should order new actions to seal the Southern border, start the wall and begin visible deportations of felons who are in the country illegally. …

Hillary Has A ‘Modest’ Hemispheric Dream

“My dream is a hemispheric common market, with open trade and open borders, some time in the future with energy that is as green and sustainable as we can get it, powering growth and opportunity for every person in the hemisphere,” Clinton told Banco Itau, a Brazilian bank, on May 16, 2013. (Courtesy the greatest libertarian org ever, WikiLeaks.)

“For Trump, who has campaigned against illegal immigration and bad trade deals, the remark is a gold mine likely to be brought up at Sunday’s town hall debate.”

MORE.

Hillary’s dream wasn’t brought up as forcefully as it should have, Sunday, because of moderators. And with the V Factor controlling media discourse, perhaps a time has come for Donald Trump to seceded from the corrupt Commission on Presidential Debates and their chosen moderators.

Despite this, Donald Trump won the Second presidential Debate hands down.


At some point, Andy Copper even:


Can’t legislate biology. The guy factor:


However, Andy did touch on the “deplorables”:


Maybe this is no longer true, after 2nd Debate:


Be afraid, guys:


A shame Hillary’s dream of one-world order didn’t get mentioned, but enough did:


I’m a sexist, too:


“Make Government Great Again” is Hillary’s slogan:

Hillary’s strategy/pivot: ‘Go to my website’:
