MGB:_Trump does not lose on style points, just basic sanity and knowledge of American law and government. There is a story of how General Dynamics got to build the C-5B, even though it did badly on the A. Reagan told the CEO at a cocktail party and the source slection was told to back him up.
In the 1930s people were grateful for a job and/or food. Ostentatiousness was looked down upon while many suffered. In modern times, race has become more visible as an issue because African-Americans, at least some of them, are doing better and whites won’t blame themselves for cutting services for the rest, especially white Clinton voters.
Activistst know 2018 is important, as much for Congress as governors. Getting the people to vote is another thing, especially in how we deal with abortion. Pluralism is not enough, we must defend Roe, demostrate why this can never be a state issue again and show how important Congress could be to this issue (indeed, it is the only place it could be an issue).
However flawed Hillary was, if she had been prepared for the Partial Birth Abortion question by reminding people that it was already illegal and that won’t be changing (because there are no such cases), concluding the movement is a fraud, then she might have won. She definitely would have with Booker or Patrick on the ticket. The Obama voters who said they only came out for him were not lying.
The White House will always be open the true Deplorables. I suspect Miller would call me a Cosmopolitan. I wear the term with honor.
Immigration has always been a GOP circular firing squad, pitting xenophobes against ethic businesses agaisnt capitalists who would buy slaves from coyotes. No way the Dems are letting this issue be settled.
