For all the Quiver-full folk:

The business tax cuts and A.M.T. abolition don’t leave any room for ordinary American households to receive substantial tax cuts. Both Republican bills do expand family tax credits and reduce the marginal tax rates that most households would face; but they also claw back a lot of revenue in other ways, some of which are targeted at families. For example, the two bills would replace individual tax exemptions with a standard household exemption of twenty-four thousand dollars a year. For small families, this change could be advantageous, but it would hurt families who have a lot of children (and a lot of exemptions). And the expanded tax credits expire in 2022, which makes them far less valuable. Meanwhile, a new way of calculating inflation would gradually push taxpayers of all kinds into higher tax brackets.​

The 'good' people are here legally. Illegal bad.

thats your whole rubric?
So a rapist who is there illegally is a bad person but a rapist who is here LEGALLY is a good person.

Im not sure you thought about the implications of your post there.

Trump voters have buyer’s remorse in North Carolina focus group

Emily Bell, a 32-year-old occupational therapist who voted for Trump, described him as rude and stressful. “I feel like he told people that he had all these big ideas and big plans, and it just seems to kind of roll to something else. It’s like nothing is ever accomplished,

Melissa Hight, a 62-year-old married retiree who has a postgraduate degree and voted for Trump, used the word “antagonistic” to describe him. “I had high hopes, but he just goes about things in a way that gets everybody’s back up against the wall,” she lamented. “He doesn’t facilitate working together. He comes out with these grandiose ideas, and there’s no follow through. It’s a lot of talk. …

Only one of the 12 participants emerged as an unapologetic defender of the president. Cynthia Layton, a 64-year-old nurse, said she loves Trump’s tweets. “I like him because he talks like my neighbor talks to me,” she explained. “I don’t need an elitist person talking down to me. The media does not give an honest opinion. That’s why I turned off cable 10 years ago. I read my sites. I listen to his tweets. … That’s how I hear from him. The media doesn’t tell you what’s going on, so you have to find out what’s going on on your own. … To me, I think his tweets are simply what he honestly feels because he uses white and black language and doesn’t give you all these flowery descriptions about everything. I appreciate that he’s direct and tells it like it is.”

[my emphasis. What's her CF handle, I wonder?]

“This wipes out everything that President Trump has done for coal.”

Robert Murray, founder and CEO of Murray Energy, said Tuesday that the tax hike on coal mining firms that would result from the changes would cancel out progress that President Trump has made on reviving the coal industry, according to CNN.

Geller: UK “Equalities” Chief Admits He Was Wrong, Muslims Won’t Assimilate

In one of the most extraordinary admissions of defeat in modern times, Trevor Phillips, the former chief of Britain’s Equalities and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), has admitted that the path that Britain has been on for years is a catastrophic failure. Muslims won’t assimilate and become loyal Britons.

A YEAR IN THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY
Hard Times in Trump Country
The Intercept

No link because, well...

Jamie Stewart voted for Donald Trump, but she thinks the president is a “*******.” She doesn’t really love to talk about what he’s doing or why she voted for him.

In a series of interviews that stretched over a year, Stewart was ambivalent when pressed about the president’s accomplishments or any promises he might have kept. “I don’t really pay attention,” she says. “I don’t have time to give a ****.”

Stewart works as a customer service manager at Walmart — though not enough hours to receive benefits or health insurance from her employer. She is raising her 10-year-old autistic son, Wyatt, mostly alone.

Today, she doesn’t regret her decision, nor does she try to justify it or apologize for it. “It just seemed like the best choice,” she says. “Better than Hillary, that’s what everybody was saying, so that’s what we went with. A lot of my family was just like, put anybody in that office other than that *****.”

Carrier plant layoffs: Worker thought Trump would save her job. She was wrong.

“We all voted for him,” she said of herself and her Carrier co-workers. “We just thought he was going to protect our jobs. It sounded really good. And then, boom.”

Another Carrier employee (probably one of hundreds who could be listed in this thread)

He tweeted in November that he was “making progress” with Carrier, but nothing came out of it. It turns out that he did nothing but make a bunch of empty promises.

Today, I feel betrayed and deceived — as if President Trump used my pain, and the pain of working class America, simply to win political points.

I'm not sure this counts. The thread is about candidates actually doing stuff they promised - and that hurt voters who voted for them. This is just another example of Trump failing at his job.

OK, despite my past mistakes, I'm trying to stick to the very narrow theme here.

Jorge Ramirez, an Oceanside minister and immigrant in the country illegally, didn't think he would end up in line for deportation when he encouraged his daughter, a U.S. citizen, to vote for Donald Trump.

I think it's especially amusing that he still hasn't changed his tune.

If I were the judge, assuming these are the facts, he'd be staying and getting fast tracked to citizenship.

I voted for Trump. Now his wall may destroy my butterfly paradise.

I’m a lifelong Republican who voted for Donald Trump for president in 2016. I want our immigration laws to be enforced, and I don’t want open borders. But Mission is not a dangerous place. I’ve lived here all my life. Here at the National Butterfly Center, 6,000 schoolchildren visit each year. Girl Scouts come here when they camp overnight just a mile or so from the Rio Grande. When the president says there’s a crisis at the border that requires an action as drastic as building a massive concrete wall, he either knows that it’s not true or he’s living in an alternate reality.

I have sympathy for the butterflies and schoolchildren. He voted to lose his job, so if that happens my message to him: sorry bout your luck.
