    Note the stock market began rising when Trump was elected after being flat for a year.

    It's not a joke...he was/is a big deal in the DNC, him telling Dems to vote for Trump is a big deal....and a window into the state of the current DNC

    Someone noted in another thread there is a DNC rule and requirement this year that any candidate appearing on a primary ballot MUST be a registered and declared Democrat BEFORE they can run.

    This could get interesting.

    I urged him several times this last year if he wanted to retain the seat. It's too late now. His Kavenaugh vote sealed it and then his impeachment vote threw him over the cliff. I can't imagine him pledging to swithc parties if he wins at this point and the Dems keeping him on the ballot.

    Something for you right wingers to be proud of as one out of every five Mississippians lives in poverty, same is true of Louisiana and many other right wing states. 20% poverty rate!!

    Lefties are cute. You want everything for free, then you make fun of poor people. :roll:

    As an aside, I wonder what % of the 20% living in poverty are Republicans.... (That's a rhetorical question.)

    13.0% of White residents of Mississippi live below the poverty line.
    The Poverty Rate of white residents in Mississippi is the same as than the national average. 216,267 of 1,657,748 white Mississippians live below the poverty line. Approximately 55.5% of the total population of Mississippi are white.

    Want to look at who controls the areas that have the highest poverty rate in the state? I assure you its not "right wingers"

    Florida seems to have a large demographic with direct knowledge of what happens under socialism.

    The night of the election, when Hillary refused to concede or see her supporters I went to bed thinking by the next morning she would somehow be the President elect-I expected new votes to have appeared.

    As for kicking the progressive can down the road-California is that can, and its ugly.
    There is no learning or insight-when things inevitably fail the only problem was that it wasn't done the right way.

    And there is a certain demographic that is disproportionately under the poverty level and disproportionately represented in those states and disproportionately by a HUGE margin that votes Democrat and their cities and counties run by Democrats. Want to guess what is that demographic?

    The devils in the details.
