President-Elect Trump's Promise Turn To Compromise (27)
SistaCallie: So tell me this, since WSJ is a liberal rag as you so call it... what rag ie conservative rag are you reading to get your news? YOUTUBE? After all FoxNews is also carrying the same article, so is WND, and Breitbart. in fact all news outlets are carrying the same article, and is where I got this article ... so help me out here and tell me your secret place where you get your correct news information especially if this article IS NOT CORRECT? so I can be better informed
FYI Trump GAVE the interview to WSJ and this is the news that was reported... "IF" OR perhaps, you know something different, I sure would love to hear it, since you seem to know more about this interview and what Trump said and means than what is being reported.
BTW what is your news source for support to your claim here? State your news source
SPS: So there you have it. Obama wants to preserve his fragile legacy (which is why he wanted a democrat named Clinton elected duh) so he begs President elect Trump to not repeal ACA and save at least some parts of it.

Let me ask you what was your reason for posting this? Was it because Trump shouldn't be "compromising" on anything? Let's be real here he hasn't even been sworn into office yet and it seems like you're trying to paint a picture based on an article from a liberal rag that he is backtracking or compromising? is that correct? has every President elect not compromised on anything he ever said leading up to the election? has every President who was ever elected lived up to every single thing that he said he would do?
If Trump GAVE the interview to WSJ did he use the word compromise or was it a word they used?
As far as my "claim" my source is WSJ since it was stated in the article that they met this week and Obama asked Trump in so many words not to repeal the ACA. Therefore can we not infer from this that Trump didn't "compromise" anything yet since all he did was listen to Obama say not to repeal it?
My other "claim" was Obama wanted Clinton to win because she is a democrat and wasn't about to repeal ACA. Do I need a source for that? Really? How many times have you seen a sitting President (and the first lady no less) stomp for a candidate in an upcoming election?

There is no such THING as "the popular vote." Why can't we get this fundamental truth through our heads? Since we don't CONDUCT a national popular vote, the tally of votes counted in a presidential election under the Electoral College system (not all votes are counted, y'know) is NOT a national popular vote.
Since presidential candidates don't campaign to win a national popular vote, the votes ultimately cast in a presidential election are NOT a national popular vote.
We need to reject the Left's premises every time, everywhere.

Good. I'm personally glad to see Trump compromise on healthcare(and on tax)so long as he doesn't compromise with the globalists. Never compromise on the wall.

Aaannnd, I know it's very difficult, BUT try to stay focus... we're discussing Trump not every other President. I thought you said WSJ is a liberal rag news outlet?
now you says it is your source of information that based your OPINION? Sooo, Did WSJ become your news source AFTER YOU DECIDE TO GO READ THE ARTICLE I POSTED?.. CUZ YOU SURE HAD NO IDEA OF THE ARTICLE UNTIL AFTER I POSTED THE SOURCE, NOR DID YOU TAKE THE TIME TO READ WHAT I HAD POSTED BEFORE YOU JUMPED IN WITH YOUR OFF-THE-WALL COMMENTS.... .
Nevertheless, I accept your expressed OPINION but it doesn't change the facts of Trump's compromise/FLIP FLOP or the news reports from his interview

Supporters To Trump: Break Campaign Promises At Your Peril
Trump talked a tough game. His backers expect similar actions.

After listening to his speeches and casting her vote for him, she expects Trump to toughen immigration laws, restore lost jobs, upend a corrupt political system, build a wall on the border, and be, as the millionaire put it, the “greatest jobs president that God has ever created.”
“We expect him to move forward on all the items he has promised to move forward on,” said Stellmack, 69, a retiree in West Palm Beach, Florida.
“And if he doesn’t, we will hold his feet to the fire.”
After a presidential race fueled by brash but constantly shifting policy proposals, Trump’s millions of followers ? from social conservative activists to struggling blue-collar workers to hardline militant groups ? say if he does anything less than take a wrecking ball to business-as-usual Washington, they will be disappointed.
“We’ll be watching, Mr. Trump,” said Stellmack.
Trump’s promises have been hard to pin down, with many policy details left elusive and vague. NBC News identified 141 “distinct shifts” on 23 major issues since Trump announced his candidacy on June 16, 2015.
Still, his fiery rhetoric had an unmistakable message of ending big government and the entrenched power of establishment elites in both parties.
That inspired hope that Trump can break through Washington’s gridlock to make progress on plans to invigorate the economy, eliminate terrorist threats, rip up trade agreements and repeal President Barack Obama’s healthcare plan known as Obamacare.
“I totally trust him,” said Laura Czarniak, 56, of Manistee, Michigan, a Rust Belt state that leans Democrat in presidential elections but which flipped to Trump on Tuesday.
“I know he’ll build the wall. I know he’ll take care of the Syrian refugee problem. I know he’ll get rid of Obamacare. There is not a chance in hell he won’t do those things,” she said.
But even with Republicans retaining control of Congress, Trump will have to accept limits and compromises on some of his plans. Many Republicans, for example, are wary of his proposals to scrap trade deals and boost spending on infrastructure improvements.
Some of his plans have already been rolled back.
Trump faces his highest expectations on the issue of immigration, given his intense focus on attention-grabbing campaign proposals like forcing Mexico to pay for a border wall, and temporarily banning Muslims from entering the country.
But he recently indicated he would at first deport only criminal undocumented immigrants, after previously pledging to deport all undocumented aliens, while the Muslim ban has softened into “extreme vetting” of immigrants from some countries.
He told the Wall Street Journal in an interview on Friday that he would consider keeping parts of Obamacare intact ? easing off his calls for a total repeal ? after Obama spoke to him on the issue at the White House on Thursday.
Mark Morris, a leader of the Colorado-based Three Percent United Patriots militia group, said he understood Trump would need time on some issues, but he expected quick movement on repealing Obamacare and appointing a conservative Supreme Court justice to fill the seat of the late Antonin Scalia.
He said he hoped Trump would stand with ranchers in their disputes with the federal government over fees charged for cattle grazing on public land – a call to arms for many in the patriot and militia movement.
Morris warned Trump should not count on his followers to stay with him if he did not produce results.
“People voted with a lot of faith that he will come through,” he said. “I don’t think it is going to work out very well if he doesn’t get the things done and he comes back at the end of four years and says I need four more years to accomplish what I need to accom

Trump also knows if he follows through to have Hillary investigated or prosecuted, he will also be brought before the courts and criminal charges against him will be investigated. So he really has no choice but to drop his foolishness against Hillary... But for sure, its a known that Trump changes his mind from minute to minute, so who knows what he will say tomorrow? 
Hopefully President Obama will before leaving office, do the right things and fix it by an Presidential executive pardoning of Clinton. so that Trump will NOT be unable to go back on his word as he so often and regularly is known to do as soon as someone makes him mad.. FBI found nothing new in those old emails. Its all a waste of time and government money.
Donald Trump Backs Away From His Threat To Throw Hillary Clinton In Jail
“Lock her up” has been replaced with a shrug and a pledge to move on.

After running a campaign that had, as one of its main rallying cries, a chant to lock up the opposition candidate, President-Elect Donald Trump has pledged to avoid doing just that.
The incoming administration will not be appointing a special prosecutor to investigate Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email account and server while at the State Department, MSNBC’s Morning Joe reported on Tuesday. Trump’s campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, confirmed as much later on the same program.

6:45 AM - 22 Nov 2016
The announcement from the Trump transition raised immediate howls about political interference in, what should be, independent prosecutorial decisions. It was not entirely clear how or if the incoming attorney general would follow Trump’s instructions, but the idea that he would pressure them to do so was seen as highly unusually and potentially dangerous in terms of the precedent it would set.

This is a disaster for DOJ's independence. Imagine if @davidplouffe was announcing things @EricHolder would/wouldn't investigate in 2008. …
7:33 AM - 22 Nov 2016
From a political standpoint solely, the news is an undramatic but highly expected coda to Trump’s push throughout the campaign to pursue Clinton’s prosecution if elected president. At one debate, he declared that his opponent should be in jail. The talk left many commentators appalled. Some argued that it was more customary to a banana republic than a modern democracy.
But Trump kept at it. His campaign was particularly critical of FBI Director James Comey for declining to recommend pressing charges over the summer. The team then praised him for examining fresh evidence regarding Clinton’s emails with just days to go in the campaign, only to then suggest that the system was rigged when Comey announced he had found nothing new in his review.
Trump’s supporters likely won’t care that he is now backtracking on his pledge to prosecute Clinton. Some of them, in fact, viewed it as a tactically shrewd move.

If the FBI and AG pursue Hillary independently, it will be justice. If Trump involves himself, it loses it's teeth as a political hit.

But the reaction from Democrats was a mix of gratefulness with the outcome and annoyance that Trump gets to look magnanimous for deciding to not prosecute a case he likely wouldn’t have won.
