    You keep saying that the Democratic Party has been destroying America. But you fail to give any examples. Is that because that is the extent of the mantra.

    But then, if you lived in the Pacific Northwest, you would be well aware that not only is it the most economically leading part of the country, but it is led almost exclusively by Democrats. Compare it to the Republican Dominated South, and it is clear, the superiority of liberal thought.

    LOL, guess you havent seen Obamas latest stumbling and mumbling campaign speeches, huh? Not to mention the DNC is paying folks $15 to help fill the seats so he won't be further embarrassed. Way to set the bar for hero worship to a new low for this loser.

    What right wing media? NPR? ABC? those are my two primary news sources. I don't watch or listen to Fox, and never have.

    I suppose, that over there on FOX, they never mention that people like little George Bush, Mitch McConnell, and Paul Ryan have given speeches, and promoted legislation, to phase out social security. The Republicans keep telling the lie that there isn't enough money. But the money has been being taken out to help pay for budget shortfalls. Shortfalls, I should point out, that have been caused by Republicans giving the wealthiest ever larger tax cuts.

    Not exactly what will amount to a huge red wave, but it will definitely be in favor of the overall Republican heartland movement.

    The polling looks like there will be a slight majority in the House and a few pickups in the Senate.


    My own involvement is now showing a three point lead for DeSantis. Scott is looking possible as well.

    I suppose this reveals a core difference between the mindset of conservatives and liberals. Between the false idea of, "I did it all myself" and authoritarian tendencies, conservatives, as it seems to me, fail to see that cooperations usually lead to better outcomes.

    This is also true of Democrat majority Minnesota. Here, we enjoy a very high standard of living and quality of life. All thanks to Democrats.

    By comparison, when Wisconsin was controlled by Dems, it, too, had a very high quality of life. When Republicans took over, the auto industry declined as did the state. See Goldstein's book Janesville for proof.

    Let's see you provide any evidence to show that ABC's report is incorrect in any way.

    Will wait ...

    Here, in Portland, the local ABC affiliate is owned by Sinclair Broadcasting. The local news has an obvious right wing bias. By bias, I mean out right lies in favor of the Republican narrative.

    By comparison, the local FOX affiliate, for the local news, has a reputation for honest news, quite separate from FOX News, which is propaganda, not news.

    Can I copy and paste this for my NPC files?

    This is one of the best examples I have ever seen to ignoring a topic of conversation and then rattling off random non coherent items of conversation.

    Truly a magical thing to behold.

    Tell us how that worked out for you in 2016.

    Let me guess, the Electoral College is racist?

    Not sure about "racist".

    But, definitely FLAWED.

    One of the glaring mistakes in The Constitution.

    We know so far that there are record voting turnouts this year, and that they include a lot of young people.

    The party of angry old xenophobic white guys is in trouble.

    Brian Ross and Bryan Williams want to have a word with you....


    But let me guess, these "don't count" for one reason or another?

    FOX lies, not gonna defend them, but watching anyone try and defend any media channel right now is absurd.

    None of them report news, they report their ideals and in doing so will twist their message as they see fit.

    Well, then you agree that his statement of "empty land is meaningless" is false.

    The fact that you think you should be able to control someone so distinctly when they are a thousand miles away from you or more is something I don't think the majority of America will ever agree with.

    We will see, but there was a reason for the EC back then and there is a reason for it now. Of course people in larger cities are going to want to control smaller. The counter argument of "the smaller cities want to control the larger" simply does not work since those cities are looking for states rights and less of a centrally controlled government.

    For anyone to think it is right that their culture should control another is ridiculous, you are basically forcing millions of people to do what you want them to do.

    It won't work well in the long run, just like it isn't working well now.

    "You keep saying that the Democratic Party has been destroying America. But you fail to give any examples. Is that because that is the extent of the mantra."

    You need examples? The hate is pervasive. Just look at leftist culture, entertainment, media, and education.

    "But then, if you lived in the Pacific Northwest, you would be well aware that not only is it the most economically leading part of the country, but it is led almost exclusively by Democrats. Compare it to the Republican Dominated South, and it is clear, the superiority of liberal thought."

    Why do you presume to know where I live? I lived in Portland, for a few years. It was a nice town then. It's a shame what happened to it. It's pretty much lefty nutjob headquarters, now.

    The theory is that pollsters will try to sway public opinion until the last week. Then they try to get it right so they don't embarrass themselves too much. The FL Governorship worked itself from 6 points to a tossup. I don't think Gillum was ever ahead. Can you imagine voting yourself a state income tax where there wasn't one? I can't.

    How about Cruz. Even with the media stuffing the criminal collusion between the DNC and Beto campaign and the Guatemalan and Honduran nationals whose job was to embarrass Trump and throw elections to Democrats, I don't think Texans were even close to voting for the Soros pick, Beto.

    You have a quote from a single person in that entire article saying that. Yet now we know there were several pro-Trump white nationalist groups there who intended to start violence from the beginning.

    No. That is just how the system is that Trump was able to get a slight majority of electoral votes while losing the majority vote.

    Hillary was the worst candidate I have ever seen for someone who had name recognition and everything going for her. Lazy and poor decision making. No organization skills.

    Pointing to a map of red empty land to justify redistricting to give a majority of reps to Republicans is meaningless.

    That argument wasn't about the electoral college.
