I still see a lot of resignation here and it makes me alternate between sadness and apoplexy

Deplorabilism is an aberration. It is not our future. Chump is not ten feet tall. We rolled him on his Muslim ban. We rolled him on his Wall. He caved on NAFTA. He caved on NATO. He caved on Chinese currency manipulators. He did scare people who all they wanted to do is come here and mow your lawn or trim that thirty foot palm tree in your yard for twenty five dollars.

2. He makes me weary to watch the news which brings up for me a mystery.

Exactly who are what is it that forces Trump to back down. It seems every time one of his (orange hair brained schemes) comes to the table he backs down. I do have a theory: Once Trump tried to drain the swamp he found quick sand". It is my intention to use this simplistic analogy on the few Trump supporters who try to approach me.

4. K&R

You are right.

5. we won't roll him on this horrible tax cut plan though

it's the only thing he really cares about.

6. I doubt it passes. Removing the state and city income tax exemptions is an electoral loser.

7. here's hoping

9. A lot of people don't itemize

A lot of people don't itemize, so removal of a lot of deductions doesn't impact them.

I haven't itemized for many years as I don't come close to the standard deduction. House is almost paid off, so not much interest left to pay, no local income tax and relatively low property taxes.

8. his term is still young

we will need to roll him over and over and over again for several years and win the 2018 congressional elections convincingly to defeat deplorabilism. this is only the beginning.
