    He lied cheated and stole the last election, and is actively doing the same with this one, hoping to use the Ukraine this time along with Vlad again. He has repubs cowed to protect him but he has made some staunch enemies this time around and some of his tactics and antics may well backfire and those he fooled once may not be fooled as easily again so we'll see.

    I guess it's easier to say that than to say, "We ran an incompetent, unaccomplished, unethical candidate who thought she would win just because she was a woman, and we shockingly got our rear ends kicked." Yeah, it just had to be because Trump stole the election.

    Actually it's easier to say the truth the dufus won the electoral college by less than 100.000 votes in 5 states. He lost the popular vote by 3 million nation wide and neither candidate won a majority, and the dufus had Vlad on hiis side.

    "Russia if your listening",
    and they responded! No body knew the dufus was under investigation, but everybody knew about HC. I don't think that will happen this time and that's why we are treated to the Biden's and Ukraine 2016 interference conspiracy crap, which is right out of Vlad/s playbook, and every repub is spouting it, and the r/w loony noise machine is at full volume. !

    The margin he won by doesn't matter, he won by the rules, no doubt you cried foul when GW Bush won by a narrow margin, that one had us all scratching our heads, but you have rules. Where I come from we don't like the idea of first past the post, we like to see a result based preference, that is, if more people don't like you even though you have the most votes you don't get up and your electoral college is something like that. You claim victory because a number of people in a small part of the country voted a particular way, but your system is designed to prevent that happening, you see Tal you don't just win with the majority of votes, you also have to carry the majority of states, so accept the result

    Tal, I agree the man leaves much to be desired, he truly needs to think before he speaks, but he made some promises and unlike many, he didn't forget them when the election was over. However, it is an imperfect world, so whatever was implemented didn't survive the politicians

Well, you must be a racist white Christian." I suppose it couldn't have had anything to do with the corrupt little person the dems ran, or with policies such as economic growth, pro-Constitution fed judges, an approach that is pro-life, or advocating for free speech. Nah. Everyone who voted for Trump must surely be a racist Christian. I truly hope I have somehow misread your position, because it would certainly be a pathetic view.

    Those are YOUR words not mine, I just stated a fact, a few facts amongst many, such as voter turnout, a transitioning population, a poor campaign by dems, voter purges and suppression, cyber interference by Vlad, and a few others but of course you over simplified it to your own narrative because I was fascinated by the demographics of the 2016 electorate? It's hard to even have a debate with a closed minded ultra sensitive conservative southerner who sees gains in conservative judges and anti abortions as a main credential, and can ignore the rest of the baggage we've seen for the last 3 years, like lying cheating and really dirty tricks.

    The 2018 midterms should have given you fair warning that more things are on the minds of citizens beside repression of liberal policy fears, which lost repubs the House, and may well cost them senate as well, even if the dufus manages to survive his current opposition, and court rulings.

    You cannot deny the support the dufus enjoys as part of his base that keeps elected repubs in line for his antics and behavior, because it's their base too essentially. So don't deny I made a specific distinction between racists, and white evangelicals while you draw the erroneous conclusion that I somehow lumped them together as racist white Christians. I did not, merely pointed out they backed the dufus rather strongly, and I found that rather a strange coalition, though I think it represents less than half of all repubs and there may be a sizable number who will look for better in the upcoming 2020 elections. Just a speculation and no reason to twist your nose in knots.

    More Blacks will vote for Trump than they have for any other Republican ever before in 2020.....and, it is possible, that he will get even more than anyone thinks given the outrageously great Black employment numbers Trump has put up. Liberals tend to think that Blacks have to led around by the nose in order for them to understand what is good for them: THERE IS A VERY RASCIST ASSUMPTION AMONST LIBERALS THAT BLACKS HAVE TO BE TOLD WHAT TO DO....and I have seen this demonstrated many times during my lifetime...….I can tell you that ideal is patently racist....Want to talk about Systemic Racism in the U.S., look no further than how liberals "handle" Blacks in this country: its demeaning as hell!

    No, you didn't. You stated an opinion. When you say, as you did, that Trump was elected by a "coalition pf racist and white evangelicals ", then you are making a prejudiced, racist observation. I know a lot of people who voted for Trump. I can't think of a one who is a racist, and quite a number are not evangelical Christians. It seems you go by the liberal motto of, "If you do it it's wrong, but if I do it it's OK."

    Quote:

    Oh? So that settles it then? Since that has been your Chicago experience, then all Trump supporters are white, racist evangelicals? Like I said, I'm so glad I'm not a liberal with that two-tiered system of ethics.

    It's about on the level of saying that all Obama supporters were black, welfare recipients. Both statements are equally wrong and racially prejudiced, but liberals would only reject one of them.

    The good news is that the revived economy has spurred black support for Trump. A passage from the linked article states, "Rasmussen proclaimed that black approval of Trump had hit 29%, even though most of the media ignored it for reasons AT readers well understand. But the surge in black support for President Trump is real – so real that even the far-left NAACP discovered it in a poll, though that poll (perhaps with a differently worded question) put the support at 21%."

    So evidently there will be a significant number of black voters allying themselves with those racist, white evangelical voters. Go figure!

    JL: Liberal PRACTICE INSTITUTIONALIZED RACISM to the point that they don't even know that what they do is racist.

    The attitudes, old and outdated as they are, that the NORTH is advanced and not racist and the SOUTH is backwards and racist still are perpetuated by liberals: I find it disgusting.....I grew up around Blacks...I played with Blacks....ate with Blacks...worked with Blacks....busted my knuckles on Blacks and visa versa....and have interacted with Black on a daily basis almost my entire life IN THE SOUTH! Yet, Northern liberals are self-righteous about SOUTHERN attitudes of Blacks: How can they do this? I have met Northern liberals that have never even interacted in any capacity with Blacks: Went to a major University and met Northerners who never, to that point, met a Black from where they were from....yet were quick to condemn the SOUTH and me!

    I'm sure the Christian element is there, but just as likely is the historic low in black unemployment. We underestimate what a blessing it is to live in this economy. Good GDP growth AND low inflation is remarkable.

    Or possibly the dem candidates themselves may be scary to some blacks. No telling but a bump in the polls is a bump in the polls. Hmm maybe black evangelical are for the dufus, or some are as racists as whites. Makes those bedfellows even stranger doesn't it?

    Oh stop twisting words to make yourself some kind of misunderstood victim. Just because you have said a few times you personally don't know any racists doesn't mean they don't exist, or didn't voted for the dufus. That's all I said was that they exist and DID vote for the dufus. If you cannot even acknowledge such people do exist, then you will never understand why it's an insult to say blacks unemployment is as low as it's ever been and they should be grateful to the dufus for it.

    One has to wonder if you did meet a racists what would you do about it besides hold your nose and vote for them any way. I'm the one who lives in a strange world? I find it very strange you cannot acknowledge the existence of those that hate based on race.

    In truth I must say the dufus will lie, cheat, and steal from anybody, and everybody, because his whole hustle is about what he gains from it. Putting race aside for a moment, let me ask what blaming Ukraine for 2016 election interference in collusion with the dems helps whom? If you said Vlad and the dufus go to the head of the class.

    Actually, you made it about me and many others when you alleged that Trump supporters were racist white evangelicals. As to Obama and Clinton, I'm always the one who has to bring them up since you can't bring yourself to acknowledge even the slightest fault with those two whom you practically worship.

    Trump a racist, or Trump courting racist votes? I'd like to see the evidence for that. While you're looking, remember this quote from Obama. "Referring to working-class voters in old industrial towns decimated by job losses, the presidential hopeful said: 'They get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.'" Yep. No prejudices to be found there. What a big-hearted guy he was.

    I alleged no such thing, I said they were a PART of his base supporters. Which is true and accurate. Never said racists were white evangelicals nor white evangelicals were racists. You just drew your own conclusion and were grossly inaccurate of my statement, as well as whom I worship which is neither. They were and are irrelevant to the current discussion on the dufus, his words, and actions.
