The Democrats’ Wave Could Turn Into A Flood

...you think 13 million are going to vote for your guy because they are uninsured?

Lol.

Even if all 13 million were rich and healthy enough to voluntarily give up health insurance purely because of financial reasons, the chances that they end up having a medical bill or the anxiety associated with being uninsured will almost certainly hit before 2020.

 

Why what will happen in 4 years ? I have not been to a doctor in like 35 years....


And yes 13 million just saved enough to take an extra vacation , or a down payment on a ATV, or a new shot gun, or new tires for their car., Or a new computer, or a new phone, or a new television set.....


Every year...


And what anxiety ?

I went 15;years with no car insurance you think I suffered any anxiety, 18 with no health insurance no anxiety here


Ever hear of workman's comp?

Flood, like an overflowing toilet?

History shows us the opposing power always does better in an off year election.

 

And Trump/Trumpism is making that opposition so much more successful and likely to continue.

 

Ah yes, ignore history for another partisan quip.

 

Rofl.

I'm not ignoring history, but embracing the fact that Trumpism has already resulted in a historically significant senate seat pick up for the Democrats in Alabama and Trump himself is the reason for the largest congressional party preference margin for democrats since the polling data started.

 

Excellent. That will maintain the gridlock. All hail gridlock, a true money saver.

 

Bolded true, but and there's always a but.................. my statement is true, "Most don't itemize anyway" so........
"Fiscal Fact No. 95

Throughout the debate over the alternative minimum tax and tax reform in general, many politicians and spokespersons for special interest lobbies have misled the public about the number of Americans who benefit from preferences in the tax code. Fewer than two in five tax returns claim deductions such as those for mortgage interest and state and local taxes and, in fact, most Americans owe more tax as a result of these deductions being in the tax code. Not only do these preferences benefit fewer taxpayers then lawmakers would have us believe; they also drive up tax rates for everyone else."https://taxfoundation.org/most-americans-dont-itemize-their-tax-returns/
Apology accepted.

 

That is still 20% of americans who use it and need it.
And this statement: "in fact, most Americans owe more tax as a result of these deductions being in the tax code." - is very misleading and also not backed up by facts.
No apology.
Dream on.

 

So you admit what you said wasn't true. Here's some advice, remember what you say then it may help you in future debates. What I posted was true, "Most don't itemize anyway".

 

No, that is not correct.
Try again and this time, try not to live in fantasy land.

 

Other than Obama's first run it was the highest voter turnout since Nixon 1968.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_presidential_elections_by_popular_vote_margin

 

This is factually very correct.
But why use 1968 as baseline?

 

I think to go back 50 years and 12 election cycles is plenty vis-a-vis it was a voter turnout problem why Hillary lost.

 

Turmoil: CA Democrats' Sexual Harassment Problem Cost Them Their Supermajority, Could Impact 2018 Midterms...

The sexual harassment reckoning has exposed many men in positions of power for their bad behavior. Matt Lauer, Charlie Rose, Mark Halperin and others have either been fired or suspended for sexual misconduct. In the political realm, Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) is resigning in early January after multiple women accused him of sexual harassment. Rep. John Conyers (D-MI) made his way to the exit after his sexual harassment allegations made it into the limelight; he paid $27,000 to settle a claim in 2015. And yes, that’s our money he used for that expenditure. This reached a boiling point during the Roy Moore fiasco in Alabama, where the Republican senate candidate was accused of sexually molesting and assaulting multiple women when they were teenagers. Yet, Conyers and Franken blunted the attacks on Moore and the GOP. The left flank on the Democratic attack line was vulnerable with Conyers and Franken still in the mix. Once Conyers decided to exit, the dam broke for Franken, who grudgingly decided to leave the Senate, though he did so while refusing to apologize for his actions and called his accusers liars.

Yet, in deep blue California, the progressive mecca of the country, Democrats behaving badly has thrown the state party into turmoil . It’s already cost them their supermajority in the state legislature and it could impact the 2018 plans as well.....snip~

Republicans lost a supermajority in Georgia because of Trump.

They also lost a senate seat in Alabama because of Trump.

And they will lose the house in 2018 because of Trump.

 

YEPP

 

The Demos lost 2 Rep seats with Illinois and now due to population loss will lose 2 more. Then there is the Demo Hastings in Florida. Who will lose due to Paying out taxpayer money for Sexual Harassment. Then there is the Colorado Rep the Demos lost and the One in Utah. So no your kind wont be taking the House anytime soon. Moreover they will lose Franken's seat.

The Democrats have no message and they just tanked themselves over Tax Reform.. The country will remember the Demos outright lying. They will remember Schumer and Pelosi not attending a meeting with Trump and Repubs. Plus this Sexual Harassment card your kind played....isn't over and the left will be losing even more seats

The Demos have no leader, and will only be running on.....gives us the House and the Senate and they will impeach Trump. Not because Trump committed any High Crimes or Misdemeanors. Just because they don't like them.

Oh and the people "Real Americans" (Not your kind) will remember the Leftness. Trying to invalidate their vote.

Good luck lil leftist.....stick with your BO peep hope and change.

 

Oh its far from over.....there will be more deviates of the left being called out.

 

You confuse losing a person and losing the seat. In nearly all of your examples of "democrats losing a seat," the chances that a Republican replaces are mostly nill.

Republicans are retiring in droves as well. Trump is the least popular first year. A President who just passed the 2nd least popular piece of PROPOSED legislation of the last 30 years. And his party faces the biggest preferential polling gap in modern polling history and one of the biggest enthusiasm gaps in modern polling history.

Teflon don won't be on the ballot in 2018. You still think you can motivate all the Trumpettes to come out and vote for his republicans when they could be secret RINOs or, even worse, they dared to criticize trump at some point?

Well you failed in Alabama, a state where he won by 29 points and very publicly voiced his support for Moore - AFTER the sexual misconduct allegations surfaced - and so, I do not like your chances.

 

There were 5 other Special elections before Alabama and each time you lefties said the same damn thing. So no.....not much has changed from all those reports on just how dysfunctional the Demos really are. Which btw was reported on by other leftists.

Let us know when the Demos come up with a message. As running on that Trump is an ******* and they will impeach him. Isn't going to help them win.

 

In every single one of those special elections, elections that all took place in locations that are historically very safe for Republicans, the Democrat made the race competitive and outperformed nearly any previous result for a Democrat in that particular district.

****ing up Trump's agenda HAS PROVEN TO BE a winning message.

 

Surely @MMC will find this cold, hard information interesting:
