Trump's Approval Rating Rises Among Hispanics

Agree based on stats (you margin of error).

 

I looked at the actual MoE's in that poll and for the 3 states mentioned it was 5,5 and 7.5. They are all going to be close races and the result will depend upon which side motivates more of their voters.

 

Nobody cares Marxist.

Save it for europe.

 

Puerile ad hom duly noted and ignored for derogatory reasons.

 

Note you will continue to decline in political influence.

I only ask that you remember what I've said here.

 

I am asking those that think his election was any more special than any other presidents. Raygan won by a larger margin than Stump..Yet all you do is play rhetorical muse and try to show how it was special because people were upset, many people get upset when their pony loses, yet no special aura surrounds the Trump election..

 

Works just the same and it is nothing new for our govt. to sell dominion to foreign operations...Since it is based on a bidding process..

 

The Courts, Silly!

We are supposed to be self-ruled, laws passed only after the assent of hundreds and hundreds of elected representatives drawn from every county in the nation, Constitutional Amendments requiring many multiples of that number, yet we have an entire nation waiting every year for the dictates of 5 robed unelected lawyers drawn from two law-schools operating like a perpetual Constitutional Convention?

After 3 generations we are finally returning to elected representative rule.

It took 50 years to get a reliable majority on the Supreme Court that would not act as an unelected oligarchy mandating "progressivism" on a formerly self-ruled people. Here are 3 reasons why.

GOP presidents going all the way to Ike, haven’t always appointed constitutionally constrained jurists

IKE put five Justices on the Bench, Chief Justice Earl Warren, and Associate Justices John Marshall Harlan, William Brennan, Charles Evans Whittaker, and Potter Stewart. This resulted in the most unrestrained Court in American History.

Following that, 8 Presidents made 17 judicial appointments and Trump is about to make the 18th.

The 6 Republican Presidents appointed 7 constitutionally restrained Judges, 3 unrestrained "progressives" and 3 swingers.

The 2 Democrat Presidents appointed 4 unrestrained "progressives".

And now finally, with the 18th appointment, we may finally have made the transition from the wild Warren Court, back to a restrained Judiciary that returns power to our elected branches, though it is equally likely that Roberts makes the transition to Swinger.

Republican presidents have had ample opportunity to move the court toward restraint. They made 10 appointments between 1969 and 1992 — that’s every new justice added during those years — and then three more during the George W. Bush and Trump years. That’s 13 GOP-appointed justices since 1969. Democrat presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama appointed only four.

Despite more than triple the appointments, the court’s unrestrained ideological tenor did not change as much as expected. Since the 1970s, studies show a slight moderation of the free for all Warren days. In fact, in contemporary times, the court has issued more unrestrained rulings in its most high-profile cases than restrained rulings, such as decision that rewrote the Affordable Care Act rather than returning it to the elected branches that are charged with drafting legislation.

So why the slow pace that makes a turtle look like a coke addict to the return to Judicial Restraint? Well, one thing to keep in mind is that the vast majority of 15 appointments from Ike to Papa Bush were made in Congresses that had solid if not super-majority Democrat Control. We forget that while we have long been able elect GOP Presidents, that massive Democrat majorities, veto-override majorities were common, from 1932 until Clinton broke over 60 years of near monolithic Democrat Lawmaker control with the overreach of the Assault Weapons Ban. Since that vile act of overreach into our very personal human rights, State after State with a strong gun owning and/or gun culture has made the transition from Democrat to Republican, with the Congress steadily reflecting this great migration.

Before The Great Migration, Republican presidents were forced to nominate judges who could get confirmation votes from both sides of the aisle.

A solid Democrat Senate rejected two of Nixon’s nominees (1969 and 1970), and more prominently, it rejected Ronald Reagan’s nomination of restrained jurist Bork in 1987. Reagan filled that seat with the swinger, Justice Kennedy. Eight of the 10 justices appointed between Nixon and George H.W. Bush had to be confirmed by a Democratic Senate. Clinton/Obama appointed four "progressive" ideologues during brief periods while Dems controlled the Senate.

Party control of the Senate is critical. Had Republicans not retaken the Senate in 2014, Obama’s nomination of Judge Merrick Garland to the court, replacing Justice Antonin Scalia, would have recreated a 5 vote majority that rivaled the unrestrained free for all of the Warren Court.

Reid Rule:
Before 2017, Senate rules required a supermajority to cut off debate on Supreme Court nominations (three-fifths of the votes, rather than half plus one). That meant that even when a president’s party controlled the Senate, presidents were likely to choose nominees who could attract at least a handful of minority-party senators. If those rules were still in place now, a Democratic filibuster could delay consideration until after the midterms, when the Democrats may control the Senate.

Reid expresses his position on American self-rule

 

The Democrats really set things up nicely for Trump, SCOTUS, and America.

Based on life expectancy, there is a good chance that many boomers will never see a non-conservative scouts again in their lifetimes.

As it should be.

 

It's also a BIG wake up call. We have pulled some real boners in our Senate selections. Despite having GOP Presidents pick 12 of the last 16 picks before Gorsuch, had we lost 4 more Senate seats in 2014, Obama with just the 5th supreme court pick by a Democrat president, since FDR, would have reconstituted the Warren Court, and possibly for a long long time.

3 seats less in 2016 and we wouldn't have been able to confirm Gorsuch and likely Kavanaugh.

Democrats do much better with their opportunities than we have. We need to take this much more seriously. The bottom line is that we have to retain the Senate. Realize that we just fumbled Jeff Session's seat into the hands of the Democrats. We need to stop that crap now and never do it again. Jeff Session's last election he carried over 97% of the vote! Trump carried the state by nearly 30 points.

 

Excellent points.

Sometimes, it takes a while to get the train up to speed.

But when it does, look out.

 

Embattled!



Axios-Survey Monkey ran a number of scenarios in each of these states based on different turnout models among likely voters, and those results are even more troubling for the three incumbent Democrat Senators.

In Florida, Scott holds a three point lead over Nelson in the high Democrat turnout model, with a nine point lead in the high Republican turnout model.

In Indiana, Braun holds a one point lead over Nelson in the high Democrat turnout model, and an eight point lead in the high Republican turnout model.

In North Dakota, Kramer holds a five point lead over Heitkamp in the high Democrat turnout model, and a ten point lead in the high Republican turnout model

Things are even worse for the Democrats in this poll in one of the states where some were hoping for a pickup.

In Tennessee, Republican Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) holds a 14 point lead over Democrat Phil Bredesen among registered voters, a 14 point lead in the high Democrat turnout model, and a 19 point lead in the high Republican turnout model.

You guys are doing great, just keep doing what you are doing!

 

Too bad that is only your opinion since you FAILED to provide a credible source again.

 

Link to the results, right in the post, Silly!

Axios-Survey Monkey ran a number of scenarios...

 

Your link does NOT show what you quoted ergo you have consistently FAILED to provide a link.

 

Plus a broke DNC, that is running in the red and having to take out loans just to operate.
