My on-air reaction to the Unpresident’s “speech”
…and Doug Ford agreed with me, BTW:
This moron is incapable of understanding that the campaign is over. #Inauguration

Interesting take here from Nate Silver on media, pollsters and pundits. https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-real-story-of-2016/
You have to admit, none of them seem to think the campaign is over.

Another difference between Canada and USA is the political meaning of ‘Orange Crush.’

Yes, what a classless buffoon he is (and remains).
His speech also conveniently ignored that most of the doom-and-gloom he painted is actually untrue. Unemployment at long-term lows. An economy that is strong and growing. Lowered involvement in overseas entanglements.
A more honest statement in his speech would have been headlined “Our long national nightmare of peace and prosperity is finally at an end!”

The Breitbart/Limbaugh/Infowars/alt-right beast must be fed.

It begins with echoing Bane and evoking the sentiments of a widely reviled Depression era club for Nazi appeasers. I have to say that I’m a bit surprised that he actually had prepared remarks!

Best take on his speech I’ve seen so far…

Clearly, Murphy has had a gutful of the left mindset.
Naturally, the left turned out, many with their faces masked, to smash, burn and pillage everything in sight to protest what a irresponsible and contemptible kind of guy Trump is…thus demonstrating in spades precisely the kind of over indulged, eternally understated, and utterly reprehensible bullshit with which Americans are fed up to their teeth.
…and thus which in first place drove so many millions to vote for the guy.

Rex Murphy is a thesaurus who lacks a soul. He’s irrelevant.

Umm, correction Al: The 37% of Americans who currently approve of Trump are presumably “fed up to the teeth” with the insidious ills you mention. The 54% of Americans who disapprove of Trump are fed up to the teeth with Trump — on his first day in office.

Probably best not to disturb Al or Gord with reality; I expect like all wankers they’re masturbating mindlessly to Trump’s fantasy pinup of America the Great.

One of the sad casualties of Trump’s rise is that the intensity of partisanship on both sides, along with all the attendant slagging and insults, has come to Canada. Used to be that righties and lefties in Canada could haggle over issues but not engage in ad hominem attacks. No more. Trump could have chosen to bring the nation together in his speech; instead he kept campaigning (I know Gord, I know, as did the other side). Now there are two Americas and they detest each other. What does this mean for the future?

And you know with certainty that it was not Trump’s people doing the rioting…right?
It is kinda what wannabe dictators do.

Sorry WK, but there are many many Canadians of every stripe who do not consider Rex Murphy irrelevant. The PPG, those in the TO, Ottawa, Montreal bubble might, but not the folks on Mainstreet.

In your opinion right?
I don’t live in that bubble…and everyone I know thinks he is an old washed up windbag. Just like Don Cherry.

You & Calda do obviously.

In politics in 2017, does campaigning really ever end?
Where was Trudeau last week? On a campaign style tour of Ontario, Quebec and the Atlantic provinces.
Where will Trudeau be next week? On a campaign style tour of western Canada.

His speech is why Trump will fundamentally fail to bring a deeply divided nation together. Instead of speaking to the broader nation, he spoke to the minority of Americans who voted for him. He did nothing in the way of extended an olive branch to the majority of Americans who deeply dislike him.
Therein lies Donald’s problem; he is incapable of recognizing the voices of people beyond the crowd that cheers him on.
Neil MacDonald made some powerful comments today on CBC about how the tensions in America would be the immediate precursor to a civil war in poorer countries.

Is everyone irrelevant to oh so tolerant progressives if they don’t happen to agree with their opinion?
I don’t agree with or support Trudeau or gasp Notley but I’m not busy smashing windows or burning cars.
