ALF Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 it will be amazing but totally likely. Much like Obama against Romney. Obama was outted as an arrogant prick by 2012 and hated. Yet, be won. Trump will win against whatever is propped in front of him. Itll be amazing If Trump could beat the great orator Andrew Cuomo , I would be very impressed. I think Cuomo or Biden would have won in 2016 but they stood aside for Queen Hillary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's not good news. Oh, please. When did you turn into a left wing drama queen? All I've been hearing for the past four months are comments like "drip, drip, drip" and "that doesn't bode well for the GOP," and yet the left keeps doing the exact same things they've been doing since Obama was first elected and lost four key races where even a moron like gator could have picked up a seat. Again, the sheer stupidity on both sides ensures the left will again be in charge. And that will happen in the long term. But when it happens, it won't happen because the Dem base is multiplying, but rather because the right will screw it up...just like the left did putting Trump and Handel in office.

Long-term demographics have been for several decades, and will be for several more decades, in the Democrats' favor. Until and unless Republicans do something to convince minorities that they are not, in fact, Nazis looking to exterminate non-white non-Christian Americans. Which will never happen...because in as much as that ever gets heard by people, it gets dismissed as fascist propaganda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The longer the two-party system can maintain pitting half the country against the other, the lower our chances of actually electing people who would work to our benefit.

Tiberius Posted June 22, 2017 Author Share Posted June 22, 2017 Interesting article on those demographics. republicans are falling behind in the suburbs which use to be GOP strongholds. http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2017/06/22/handel-republicans-suburban-nightmare-215289 Trump won the 2016 election, of course, boosted by the margins he ran up in smaller cities and rural areas. But he lost the populous close-in suburbs of Chicago, New York, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C., home to the precincts that first heralded suburbia’s arrival as a political powerhouse. That wasn’t the real story, though. He was also defeated in other, later-blooming suburban giants, including Atlanta’s Cobb County and Southern California’s iconic Orange County, both onetime exporters of Sun Belt conservatism that occupy storied roles in the formation of the contemporary Republican Party. There’s a reason Ronald Reagan once said Orange County was the place good Republicans go to die—before 2016, it had last voted Democratic for president more than 80 years ago. The symbolism of Trump’s defeat in one of the GOP’s holy places was apt: This was the election where the full extent of the party’s suburban rot was finally revealed. ... Perhaps the biggest change of all: The suburbs themselves grew far more diverse. Between 2000 and 2010, the number of racially diverse suburbs increased by 37 percent, growing at a faster clip than majority-white suburbs, according to one study. New York state stopped being competitive around the same time the populous New York City suburbs began going blue. The days when the GOP could carry Maryland ended when Baltimore County left the fold. Colorado and Virginia are likely to be the next dominoes to fall. Colorado’s Arapahoe and Jefferson counties, home to roughly 1.3 million residents, voted Republican in eight consecutive presidential elections through 2004. But since then, they’ve voted Democratic in the past three. In November, Trump bottomed out at 39 percent of the Arapahoe vote. Pennsylvania is another state where GOP presidential fortunes hit a wall once the Philadelphia suburbs drifted away—that is, until last year. Trump’s great electoral accomplishment was to figure out a workaround to the GOP’s suburban erosion in places like Pennsylvania. He managed to overcome President Barack Obama’s metropolitan Death Star with a patchwork alliance: forgotten and overlooked rural and small-town America, combined with smaller, whiter and less affluent suburbs. It wasn’t enough to win the national popular vote, but it did provide enough of a margin to carry several key states—namely Wisconsin and Pennsylvania—in which the GOP nominee had been shut out for decades.

row_33 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I can't believe it when the GOP wins anything. They are the babysitter who insists on doing your homework and eating your vegetables and going to bed at the time the parents said. The Dems are the babysitter that lets you eat all the cand you want, drink and do drugs and spray ketchup all over the walls and floors. So why do they ever vote for the strict babysitter????

boyst Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Yeah. That's a Republican bubble you live in to think everybody hated Obama as an arrogant prick by 2012. Even leaving office his approval ratings was in the mid 50's. Trump was smart to wait until 2016 as it's difficult to take out an incumbent. you realize i think most of this country is full of idiots who don't even have the intelligence to put the toilet seat down before they pee right?

My concern is that the free stuff Ds and the free stuff Rs could unite behind a truly dreadful future party and well and good eff the economy.
