Conway Tells Chuck Todd "We Are Going To Have To Rethink Our Relationship With The Press"

Fine, but my question was whether he would be "great, or a colossal fucking disaster" (your words). I'm not convinced the market is necessarily voting on that issue one way or the other. My question about "smart money" was figurative. The question is, Which of the two do you think he's more likely to become? Serious question, and I'm not looking to argue or debate it. Just curious.

I honestly have no clue, if he actuallly gets a 35% tariff through on all foreign products it could start a trade war, on the other hand, since all these countries currently have tariffs on the U.S. including Canada with the VAT tax, maybe they will accept that the U.S. is fighting back, and its just a bargaining chip so that the U.S. can negotiate better trade terms, if it turns into a trade war markets could crumble, if it turns into a situation where The U.S. simply negotiates better trade terms markets could boom.

A strong U.S. consumer is good for the emerging markets since they all rely on the U.S. consumer for their economies so if jobs stay here and the economy booms, it could end up being a boom worldwide.

Great. Then I hope you aren't one of the many leftists who are always claiming obama did a great job because of the mkt. Or that the mkt does better under democrats. Because you aren't convinced that it's anything other than fertilizer, right?

Obama was in office for eight years. Trump just got in. Take a breath.

Stick and carrot, fine. But don't abuse power or you become exactly what you've been campaigning against the last 8 years.

You are articulating the difference between a principles-oriented policy and an outcome-based one. Believe me, I get it. Conservatives have long prided themselves on being guided by lofty principles. I'm having trouble seeing what they got us. Half the country seem to think there is no difference between fox news journalists and nazi skinheads. Even worse, they are very OK with people physically assaulting them.

The sunday morning shows and various media outlets had plenty to say about crowd size. How many demanded that leading democrats disavow this violence? None, to my count. They don't want to put them on the spot, but can you guess their reaction if some white southerners had assaulted people during Obama's inauguration?

We can take it or we can fight back.

Conservatives may have long prided themselves on being guided by lofty principles, but few conservative politicians actually practiced it. However, what you're advocating is giving up the high road to join the crap in the dust. An OK strategy, I suppose, but you can't complain later when someone calls you on it.

GOP leaders fire warning shot to Trump on NAFTA
CNN‎ - 50 mins ago

CNN boss threatens President of the United States. Not with a real bullet. I'll get to that later.
But when a newsroom boss starts threatening the elected gov't, I say it's time to take action. They don't get to do that. Not in my book.

Back to the bullet. Is this what we're going to see for the next eight years? Newsrooms constantly conveying the image of a bullet in the head when they discuss the president of the United States?

They want a war. Give them one. See who comes out on top.

"One of the things I think this administration hasn’t figured out yet is that there’s only one television network that is seen in Beijing, Moscow, Seoul, Tokyo, Pyongyang, Baghdad, Tehran and Damascus — and that’s CNN," Zucker said. "The perception of Donald Trump in capitals around the world is shaped, in many ways, by CNN. Continuing to have an adversarial relationship with that network is a mistake."
​
Zucker sounds desperate. Is he aware that social media is around the world as well, and that he grows less and less relevant by the day?

That was my interpretation of it as well.

There is literally a highlite reel of CNN embarassing themselves over and over and over trying to take down Trump during the election season.

Liberals were used to being able to argue about Fox news partisanship cause CNN was better at masking their partisanship, I.E. they would simply neglect to report on stories and all sorts of games that liberal news networks play while pretending to be the arbiters of truth.

Now any cover they had has completely been removed, everyone knows that CNN is simply the left wing equivalent of Fox, and Zucker in his desperate attempt did nothing but further prove the point by assuring more negative coverage if Trump doesnt quit exposing them.

Zucker now knows everyone can see that he has turned CNN (a once respected hard news network) into partisan joke like MSNBC, or Fox, and i think he is starting to realise its going to be almost impossible for his network to regain credibility after their performance over the last 6 months.
