POLITICAL THREAD

[Ed323232]

LOL. Even the New York Times polling today -- the same polling that showed Hillary winning in a landslide -- showed Trump ahead of Warren and Sanders in most of the states you list - in some cases comfortably.

Not looking good for the "Progressives."
1. My political friends in DC - mostly liberals -- admit the impeachment thing is a dry hole after more Democrats voted NO to the inquiry than Republicans voted YES. They rightly understand Americans looked at that and said, "politics." RealClearPolitics daily average of tracking polls shows Trump's numbers have risen during the impeachment push.

2. Those same analysts admit Warren badly miscalculated with the $20.5 (really $40) trillion Medicare For All. If you paid attention over the weekend, it got savaged even in the Washington Post and New York Times.

3. The clock in down to T-Minus One Year on the election - and the economy is roaring and the markets hit historic highs today. Even if there is a slowdown, it takes people months to feel it and adjust their perceptions.

Most politically savvy people I know -- and they almost all are liberal Democrats -- concede it'll take the near-miracle of a moderate candidate toppling Warren (or Sanders) in the early primaries to stop Trump's re-election.

It's just s campaign promise. Trump said Mexico was paying for the wall. You all said you never believed it for a minute. Said you knew he was full of shut. Correct?

 

[Ed323232]

He may lose Pennsylvania. Theres no chance he loses the others, especially ohio. He may flip Minnesota. And have you ever been to south florida? I know dems stand on the heads of Hispanics and think they are all the same just like they think black ppl are a monolith but go ask a Cuban what they think about socialism....best of luck if Warren is the nominee.

Arizona too.

KEY POINTS

• Elizabeth Warren’s “Medicare for All” plan is too much of a political reach to actually be implemented on Capitol Hill, says Jared Bernstein.
• “Don’t tell us what you’d like to do. Tell us about what you would do; what you think is in the realm of possible,” adds the ex-chief economist for Warren-rival Joe Biden.
• Bernstein says, “We shouldn’t spend too much time arguing about things that are very unlikely to be legislated.”

meh, fuzz can sell it

Biden/Klobachar is the ticket that can beat him. Said it months ago

Anyone who would replace America's current economy -- record numbers of African Americans and Hispanics employed, soaring stock markets providing retirement and family financial security to vast swaths of the middle class with pensions or 401(ks), low interest rates and low inflation -- would have to be a lunatic.

Anyone who wants to replace it with the Warren-Sanders plan of a $17 trillion Green New Deal, a $21 trillion Medicare for All plan, $1 trillion a year in health care for unlimited illegal immigrants, $2 trillion in reparations for African Americans, $2 trillion to make others pay the college debt of everyone else, and other policies that even liberal economists admit would destroy economic growth is more than a lunatic. You'd have to be a committed enemy of the United States.

The people voting for these idiots either do not have jobs, do not have anything saved for retirement, etc. etc. so they have nothing to lose if the economy crashed. Just as long as they get their gov check or bail out everything is great in their world. Those of us who work hard, do the right things, and are reaping the benefits of a great economy are the enemy to these type of people because they are so filled with hatred and jealousy for those of us that are successful while they make excuses for their failures.

Just to be clear, your belief is the following;

Anyone who works/saves for retirement/is successful = votes R.

Everyone else = votes D.

Is that right?

How is joe Biden still an option for dims? He said on his first day, he would rejoin the Paris Peace accord. He wants to reopen the Vietnam war?

 

[MdWIldcat55]

It's just s campaign promise. Trump said Mexico was paying for the wall. You all said you never believed it for a minute. Said you knew he was full of shut. Correct?

Accepting your characterization (which I don't) here's the difference:
1. Building the Wall appealed to something deep and significant in most Americans, even many liberals (if you've ever read the comments posted on any New York Times immigration story): The need to stabilize America's borders, protect our rule of law, and defend national sovereignty.

2. Raising trillions of dollars of taxes in order to take away from Middle Class people their existing health care plan and replace it with a socialized government program like existing Medicare (which loses a dime on every dollar to waste and fraud) doesn't appeal to anyone who has managed their life well enough to have earned the freedom of choice -- that is, the people who elect presidents.

To make it simple enough even for you:

Effective campaign promises show at least the candidate understands some deep desire inside the voters.
Terrible campaign promises scare vast groups of people and threaten their financial well being and health security.

Hunter Biden’s Ukraine gas firm pressed Obama administration to end corruption allegations, memos show
https://johnsolomonreports.com/hunt...ion-to-end-corruption-allegations-memos-show/

Hunter Biden and his Ukrainian gas firm colleagues had multiple contacts with the Obama State Department during the 2016 election cycle, including one just a month before Vice President Joe Biden forced Ukraine to fire the prosecutor investigating his son’s company for corruption, newly released memos show.

During that February 2016 contact, a U.S. representative for Burisma Holdings sought a meeting with Undersecretary of State Catherine A. Novelli to discuss ending the corruption allegations against the Ukrainian firm where Hunter Biden worked as a board member, according to memos obtained under a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit. (I filed that suit this summer with the help of the public interest law firm the Southeastern Legal Foundation.)

Just three weeks before Burisma’s overture to State, Ukrainian authorities raided the home of the oligarch who owned the gas firm and employed Hunter Biden, a signal the long-running corruption probe was escalating in the middle of the U.S. presidential election.

Hunter Biden’s name, in fact, was specifically invoked by the Burisma representative as a reason the State Department should help, according to a series of email exchanges among U.S. officials trying to arrange the meeting. The subject line for the email exchanges read simply “Burisma.”

Arizona too.

For someone who bitched about my number of postings and put me ignore, you sure post a lot of BS and fake news. I wonder if you can spell hypocrite, you define it very well with your postings though.

 

[bigblueinsanity]

He's beyond creepy. Unbelievable

 

[KyFaninNC]

He will lose Pennsylvania and Ohio
And hopefully Florida. Maybe Wisconsin if Klobachar is on the ticket.

Why?

 

[KyFaninNC]

How's the deficit?

How was it after 8 years of Obama?

Stereo typical liberal mindset. Once again proving the hate for the military. We're deplorable sots the lot of us.

The military has been overfunded for years. I have nothing but respect for the people who serve though. With that said...there’s often a “type” that likes to join the military. Same for our police force.

Oh wait, never mind.

When did I mention Dems? I said “people” because moochers and irresponsible people are on both sides of the aisle and they love politicians that promise them entitlements instead of a job.

Expect *crickets* from resident Dem and Lib loudmouths......

This is why Trump won. You don't get it and you never will.

They could have voted for someone that dresses in black face if they were Canadian.

I'll say it. Liberals are POS moochers. They are able bodied sycophants who leech off Republicans

Man, did you guys have a ****ing bad weekend or something? Lighten up. I’ve got lots of redneck friends, great folks. None of them would ever waste a day at something as ridiculous as a political rally, though.

Man, they all count like infinitely more than mine.

Come to think of it, I’ve never actually voted in an election except a couple of PTA type things at my kids schools. I was 20 when I left Canada and have never voted here for obvious reasons.

I always have a terrible weekend. But i actually love being miserable and I love to hate everything. That makes me happy

I love weekends but hate Mondays. Especially this time of year. But tomorrow I’m gonna tie one on starting at about noon for the UK game. Which will make for a good Tuesday.
