Your problem, Lazy Tom, is in this contest of who is the more repulsive choice, the Democrats and their media lapdogs are losing -- badly. Jim Acosta and CNN have done as much to damage the liberal brand as any of the elected numbskulls.

I used to preface most all of my political comments with a perfunctory "I didn't vote for him, but ...." I no longer do that. I would be less embarrassed to be mistaken for a Trump supporter than I would to be mistaken for someone willing to accept the utter insanity of the left.

And I candidly see very little difference between the establishment Democrats, who pretend not to be socialists, and the Bolshevik Barbie supporters who come right out and admit it.

He's had some really stupid and insane takes on this board, but his posts in this thread might go straight to the top of the list.

Acosta just wants the spotlight on him.

Look, there are lots of folks, who didn't vote for the Dems in 2016, and aren't open to voting for them ever, who like the Mussolini style rallies.

But just know that unless we're going to suspend the elections or run the Russian style (steal them), there's a LOT more of us then they are of you. Sure, there's a gerrymandered hill the Dems have to get across due to basically cheating. But at some point, the whole system of gerrymandering collapses under the sheer weight of the numbers. Will the Dems surmount the hill in 2018 in the House. Right now, I'd say the odds are in the Dems favor. Even if the Dems win a 8 to 10 point national victory and fall 1 or 2 seats short (that's the best case scenario for the GOP), this bodes very poorly for 2020 for the GOP.

The real fear you SHOULD have is that Trump manages to have a 1 or 2 seat majority in the House, a 1 seat majority in the Senate going into 2020. That will open the door to a truly massive 2020 wave. Either way, by January 2021, the Dems will control the House by at least 30 seats and the Senate by at least 3. And Trump cannot hang on, unless he can convince 10 percent of people or more who don't listen to him to throw away their vote on a third party. I fully expect the Greens to get tons of Russian and GOP support (again). We're on it. We're ready for it. And the candidates running in 2020 will be further to the left than the candidates running in 2018.

By the way, and this should scare you guys sh*tless. I'm considered (gasp) moderate or even right leaning for a Democrat.

Pelosi and Schumer have decades of working with the system and building coalitions. They're not going to upset the apple cart nearly as much as you think. Now if you think that common sense gun laws, a fair taxation system, Medicare for all, common sense regulations, and a humane immigration policy are too radical for you....then don't complain when you get something far more radical.

We all know that the white supremacists at Trump's rallies (and lets face facts, that's what most of them are) support him, but the rest of us know that the white supremacists have a shopping list and everyone from the Jews to Blacks to Hispanics to Gays to people who support equality are on their list, even if they're not the number one item on it on any given day. Because if the choice is between some cray-cray leftist and the hollering racists at Trumps Kid Rock Mussolini rallies, we will support the cray-cray leftist. Every time. Those rallies remind everyone else precisely WHY they have to vote for the Dems. They aren't bringing a single new voter to your side. Not a one.

And we will vote accordingly.

Mussolini?? Is that the new fear word from the crazy left?

Nice of you to point out the rallies aren’t helping ‘us’. I’m sure Trump will clear his schedule of any remaining rallies to aid in his liberal approval ratings.

LOL. Enjoy your Kid Rock Mussolini rallies. Just don't wonder why everyone who doesn't support white, cis, straight, evangelical supremacy bails on you guys. And lots of people who just don't like the Kid Rock Mussolini rallies.

Every one of your hair-on-fire doomsday predictions has been wrong. Every one of your election predictions has been wrong. Do you get tired of being wrong all the time?

LOL. Trump really had a 1 percent chance of winning in 2016. It happened to hit. If you know how Texas Hold Em works, he pulled the equivalent on hitting on an inside straight against a full house on fifth street. He got 3 million fewer votes. He won a plurality in a ton of states and those by very small margins. Nate was right, Trump had a 1 percent chance of winning. And that 1 percent actually hit.

And what has happened since then....massive movement to the Dems. A lot of Trump voters are sitting at home. And that's where many of them will remain.

Next week, there's another election coming up in Ohio Its the 70th least likely to flip seat, based upon Demographics. Trump won it by 9 points. The GOP candidate won it by 30 in 2016. There's no scandal on either of them and the GOP candidate has more money. Its in the Rust Belt. Its also in a GOP district with no history of voting Democrat. This district should be a +10 to 12 GOP win. But it won't be. My guess is that the GOP hangs on by 1 or 2 points. But then again I was wrong about Roy Moore and Connor Lamb (I had the GOP hanging on in both of them).

I called out Manafort, Page, and Flynn as being Russian stooges before any of you read about it in the papers.

Well, it looks like fascism to most of us. And lets be clear, Trump looks like a buffoon up there, like Mussolini.

And Trump reminds me a lot of Mussolini. Encourages his supporters to be violent. Supports extremism, supports corruption style government, is all about a cult of personality, is uncouth and vulgar, and is a moron.

I used to call Trump Boris Yeltsin. Most people don't get that reference and Yeltsen wasn't as mean as Trump is. Besides Trump doesn't drink. [/i]

It's sad watching the left descend into madness. I sincerely mean that. Democrats hate themselves, you, and America.

Sad. Bigly.

Democrats are probably going to start contributing to big game Elephant hunts in Africa after November.

I know you are. That's why the term "moderate democrat" is meaningless. A moderate democrat is still a socialist.

Pelosi and Schumer are too radical for my taste. That's the problem here. I'd rather take my chances on avoiding Pelosi and Schumer than accept them to avoid something worse.

I see a comparison between Ocasio-Cortez types and Pelosi/Schumer types as being like the old story of the frog in boiling water. You turn the heat up to high immediately and the frog senses the danger and jumps out. That's Ocasio-Cortez. You turn the heat up gradually, the frog gets comfortable, stays in the pot, and bias. That's Pelosi/Schumer. Both factions want to boil me, they just have different approaches.

Knock off this white supremacist crap. There aren't enough white supremacists left to elect a dog catcher in Birmingham. It's the line that the left tosses out because they can't do any better. "OMG, if you disagree with socialism/communism, then you must be a white supremacists." Hell, as nearly as I can recall, some of the worst racial purges in history were carried out by socialists or communists. If you favor a hugely powerful state, you don't tolerate people who don't fit the mold.

And I didn't quote this part, but knock off the Mussolini crap too. Hell, Pelosi and Schumer are a lot closer to Mussolini ideologically than any republican I know of.

By the way, I'll unload a bit on republicans too. They have become almost devoid of ideas. The one time in my lifetime that they ran on ideas--Newt's contract in 1994--was their biggest electoral victory, maybe ever. Then they promptly forgot that to go chasing Monicagate. They had a pragmatic democrat president, perhaps in his last stages of pragmatism which he now seems to have abandoned, and could have gotten so much good stuff done if they had been willing to work instead of name call. I can imagine Newt and Bill reprising the Ike/LBJ/Mr. Sam bourbon-and-branch get-togethers at the white house, and running the country in between swapping women's phone numbers. That didn't happen, and we are all worse off for it.

Donald Trump is to me the personification of the old adage, if you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything. Yes, he's done some good things (and some bad). But the good things he's done are things republicans should have done 20 years ago. And by hitching their future to Al Czervik, they've pretty much painted themselves into the corner of having to live with his boorish, obnoxious behavior. The scenario you projected is exactly why I did not vote for Donald Trump. Like GWB begat Obama, Trump could very well beget Schumer and Pelosi. And we don't need that.

The more I think about it, the more I prefer Ocasio-Cortez to Pelosi and Schumer. The frog in the boiling pot thing.

Unhinged liberal loons are so funny

Say it with us, Donald J. Trump, President of the United States. There's the truth that you seem to miss and/or deny.

But please, continue with your delusion.

If Acosta represents himself to be an objective, unbiased journalist, then he is a liar.

Does that make him an enemy of the American people? No, it just makes him a liar.
