CNN bends the knee: President Trump's Winning Streak

(CNN)Donald Trump may have never had a better time being President.

Only a re-election party on the night of November 3, 2020, could possibly offer the same vindication for America's most unconventional commander in chief as the 36 hours in which two foundational strands of his political career are combining in a sudden burst of history.

Trump will become an undeniably consequential President with the Senate due to vote Saturday to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, consecrating the conservative majority that has long been the impossible dream of the GOP.

On Friday, Trump had celebrated the best jobs data for 49 years as the unemployment rate dipped to 3.7%, offering more proof of a vibrant economy that the President says has been unshackled by his tax-reduction program and scything cuts to business regulations.

While his 2016 election campaign was most notable for swirling chaos and shattered norms, Trump's vows to nominate conservative judges to the Supreme Court and to fire up the economy were the glue for his winning coalition.

The struggle to confirm Kavanaugh split the country, deepened mistrust festering between rival lawmakers and threatens to further drag the Supreme Court into Washington's poisoned political stew. But Trump stuck with it and ground out a win.
So he has every right to return to voters in the next four weeks ahead of the midterm elections to argue he has done exactly what he said he would do. He now has a strong message to convince grass-roots Republicans that it's well worth showing up at the polls.

A President of consequence

There is more evidence than the soon-to-be reshaped Supreme Court and the roaring economy to make a case that Trump is building a substantial presidency that in many ways looks like a historic pivot point, despite its extremely controversial nature.

Trump is the greatest president of my lifetime. As someone that admires Ronald Reagan immensely, I do not say that lightly.

I loved Reagan and I love Trump too.

and to think, he's not even been in office for 2 years.

Did Reagan accomplish this much at this point? And with the same opposition? Granted, he had a democrat-controlled House, but that's like comparing football passing stats from Dan Marino's era to now. It's a different ball game. Tip O'Neill is not Nancy Pelosi.


Enjoy this, folks. Never was, never again.

I still can't get the fact you're French and give so much time to the adoration of Trump and American republicanism.

I told you before that a part of my family lives in the USA and they are all republicans and lifetime NRA members. They are conservatives and I am too. Another part of my family lives in Switzerland, they are all members from the UDC. There has never been left wingers in my family. I dislike socialist/leftist/communists because as I have seen it in my own country that socialism and leftism have brought only problems. I prefer a president go think for his country first rather than a submissive little puppet which is under Brussels orders. If you knew and learned who De Gaulle was, he was a real and true patriot, someone I adore. I value patriotism, strong borders, the right to bear arms and also a strong military something the socialists don't give a fuck about.
