President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

I am infallible on the subject of what I meant when I said things, yes. Or as close to it as need be for practical purposes.

Since you've admitted that this isn't about the issue and rather some sort of weird personal gotcha, I'm out.

 

Conservatives: These kids are turning people off! You can't win by turning people off!

Also conservatives: Trump won! Trump won! Trump won!

 

BINGO!

 

Meanwhile, Democrats won two more special elections in previously Republican-held seats this week. A state house seat in New Hampshire in a district that went 54-41 Trump, and a Connecticut state house spot that had been held by Republicans for 40 years.

I won't pretend to know how well this will hold up through November. But Democrats are fired up as fuck right now.

 

@RickStain, there is no "weird personal gotcha" going on here. I could give a fuck about you. (That's not meant to be insulting. I just couldn't.)

If you don't understand why someone would think you meant this 100 percent literally:

Then you haven't been paying attention to your own posts for the last two or three years.

 

Interestingly enough, I think you're dead wrong here.

The Dem base was already energized. They have been winning many of these special elections, in places where they shouldn't.

We should expect them to continue to be energized going into the 2018 midterms.

Republicans, meanwhile, suffering from their own case of Trump fatigue, weren't nearly as energized.

This campaign to demonize everyone who uses FedEx, won't throw their Alexa in the trash, and won't cancel their trip to Disney World is just the thing we need to get people out to the polls.

 

Precisely. I would have never bought my bike there, but I've found a few accessories (lights, helmets, racks, etc.) to my liking.

 

I am going to strongly urge Mrs. Whitman to join in this boycott. For the children.

 

Sounds like Dick isn't in favor of gun control after all.

 

Republican votes for president:

2008: 59.9 million
2012: 60.9 million
2016: 62.9 million

Account for population growth and it's essentially flat. Republicans have always had the more reliable turnout. There is no higher gear to be had.

And even if there is, I'll risk it. There are, at the end of the day, more of us than there are of you. Your party leaders know that.

 

Will be interesting to see the turnout for those who can vote for the first time in November.

 

Also meanwhile, there's basically a 90% chance that Kushner was outright selling state secrets.
