And in 2012, and in 2014, and in 2016, and in 2018. America has a **** load of racist people. That is a simple truth. Hell, Florida just elected a man who warned against monkeying up the state by electing a black man. I can guarantee you that he won because of racists chose to support him. Oh I get that you Trumpettes have convinced yourself that you didn't vote for someone with almost zero relevant qualifications and you have a talking point worked out to justify your own mental flips (especially considering when you continue to attack a then US Senator and Two term State Senator as unqualified), but the fact is still that Trump had almost zero relevant qualifications. He had zero experience working for the government and he had zero military experience. That made him the first US President in history to ever reach the office without either of those qualifications.
Indeed. Another white, male Republican extremely popular with a highly-educated, highly progressive electorate. It's difficult to discern your fake claim of liberal partisan prejudice in those examples.
A shyster New York real estate developer and reality TV star. What, you think he's some shining beacon of honesty and integrity? Give us a smegging break.
You didn't get to pick. The RNC did. It conducted primaries and caucuses to select the GOP nominee and Republicans chose Romney.
How good are the dems if they let a man like yrump that you disdain beat them at their won game Your democrat horse is a nag
Yes, romney had the nomination before my state primary voted And so would have jeb bush if not for trump
I never claimed otherwise. Some of us, however, like to pretend that their side is devoid of that riff-raff. Your words, not his. Here are DeSantis' words, a la The Daily Beast: "The last thing we need to do is monkey this up by trying to embrace a socialist agenda with huge tax increases and bankrupting the state," he continued. "That's not going to work, that's not going to be good for Florida." Of course, the governor-elect's dishonest opponents portrayed "by trying to embrace a socialist agenda with huge tax increases and bankrupting the state" as "by electing a black man" because they're dishonest and have a penchant for gratuitously defaming their opponents as "racists". I guarantee you can't. Heh - History repeats itself. Another corrupt "progressive" loses in Florida... United States presidential election in Florida, 2016 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_election_in_Florida,_2016 I get that you don't know sh*t about what I am (FYI, I supported Rand Paul in the GOP primaries, not Trump) and can't be honest about what Trump is. But the fact remains that Trump had decades of executive experience before he was elected president and Obama had nothing. More importantly, as many people can tell you, it was Trump's experience as a CEO running a business in the private sector that encouraged them to vote for him after enduring eight years of 1.48% average annual GDP growth under a president who obviously had zero business/economic/financial experience in the private sector before he took office. Today, we see that experience is paying off in the form of an economy that is poised to break 3% GDP growth for an entire year for the first time since 2005, rising wages, unemployment at historic lows, etc. You and your comrades are entitled to your own opinion concerning the qualifications you want to see in a president, but obviously a lot of people have a different opinion concerning the qualifications they want to see in a president. Clearly, all of you are laboring under the delusion that there is nothing more to running the country than running the government and what you're ignoring is the vast, dynamic private sector that the POTUS is charged with leading. The United States of America doesn't begin and end inside Washington, DC.

Democrats' net seat gain is now at 35. As counting continues in various close races around the country, Democrats could ultimately pick up as many as 39 seats. These are the most House seats Democrats have picked up in a generation — in any election since the wave election after Watergate in 1974. "Pretend I'M on the ballot!"
I own up to my guesses and the actual results: Republicans - +2 in the Senate - maintain control. Democrats - +39 in the House - seize control. Democratic Governors replacing Republicans? Kansas, Illinois, Michigan, New Mexico, Maine, Wisconsin. As I have consistently noted, the "Blue Wave" hype is a media confection. It is more like the inexorable rise in sea level that will persist in 2020.
