    He doesn't have an opponent. In 2020, he wont be running against the poll numbers, there will be someone that people will have to choose from. And if his economy is still trucking, then he will probably be reelected like Obama was. And Obama had horrible numbers right after he passed Obamacare.

    Shes the kind of illogical female that men can never win an arguement with, much like conservatives are frustrated by the libs posting here

    The difference is that she is that she has the physical female attributes to take a man’s mind off the Pentagon

    But the libs around here have no such treats to offer

    They also have a very homogenous population that is over 90% white, so you have to factor in ALL variables, not just the ones you like.

    people often pick Scandinavia as a example
    but they forget its mostly Norway doing great, Denmark has massive taxes to fund his programs and Sweden is getting ****ed up by immigration slowly and insane feminism.

    and Norway got a massive amount of wealth in oil for a very small population

    In your own words - Trump has a "twisted communist way of thinking".

    No one is giving her a pass. Cooper was calling her on her falsehoods.

    I think it is wrong that she lies. I also think it is wrong that Trump lies. He does it more, and his lies are bigger, but it is wrong for both of them to lie.

    The difference is that you (and other Trump supporters) are giving Trump a pass on all his lies.

    Sweden has absurd rape and other laws and is not doing fine.
    Denmark is doing fine but very high tax rate and still ranks lower then Belgium in healthcare so doesn't have everything
    its also the country where if you refuse to shake a woman hand you wont become a citizen, the exact opposite of what Sweden would do

    Dutch are not part of Scandinavia
    that sayd the Netherlands are good at a lot of things but definitely don't have everything

    Sweden is doing great and Denmark and Belgium both rank much higher in healthcare than us.

    Face it.

    buddy i'm from Belgium not the US
    sure healthcare is great but we make up for it with insane taxes on everything
    even our basics are taxes to the extreme in some cases like electricity which is one of the most expensive in Europe.

    but even though the french in the south of Belgium long held significant political power in the north, Belgium as a whole is mostly right wing not left wing in present day
    that's because majority in the north votes center/right/far right (socialists at -10% in polls)
    and the minority in the southern half votes left/far left

    the results of a right wing Flanders is rich prosperous area even after spending billions each year to support the southern half

    the results of a left wing Walloon for 50 years is a economy graveyard with no major industry remaining, supported by the Flemish north and even then they stil fail to get the budget in order causing Belgium debt to rise each year.

    it has been estimated many times over that the day Belgium stops existing then the Walloon will be a place worse then Greece at its worse or even Ukraine in fairly short order, unless of-course the rest of Europe pays up for communist/socialist paradise where everybody is either employed by the government or supported by it with unemployment.

    even Brussels city with his own little government cant pay for himself without Flemish money, and when they get 500 million extra they squander it while the tunnels leading to the city collapse

    I think the 21 trillion thing might have been a slip of the tongue. For me personally, I get mixed up with million, billion, and trillion. Thankfully, I don't have cameras pointed at me all the time. Trump has made many factual slip ups himself, and is himself a lot worse.

    This is typical of what we see in the US. Money being squandered for social programming that then ignores basic maintenance issues.

    You're thinking of Solvang, California in Santa Barbara County.

    If you want a Belgium waffle you have no choice but to travel to Solvang.

    Only if all those people voted, or plan to vote in the next go-round.

    Eh. I don't see Pelosi lasting. I think she is trying to train up the next round of Dems to pass the baton too. Give this girl some time and she will be a force. And I don't think she is stupid (you can't get a degree in economics if your dumb).

    How many started by you?

    With tiny populations. Name one socialist country with over 200 million population that's doing well.
