Progressives (Liberals)

I think 4 years past the email scandal, coupled with Trumps dumpster fire presidency and embarrassment across the country and globe, and renewed fervor and lack of complacency on behalf of left-leaning folks...would lead Clinton to a victory.

She was only 50,000 votes away from winning last time, and Trumps only gotten worse, while Clinton's approval has gotten better (and will continue to get better as she holds no political office and won't have the baggage with what that entails).

She won't be the nominee though. If she runs, she'll lose the primary.

The fire has spread to the economy. And the jobs being created.

No he hasn't. He outsmarts the Democrats every time, that is getting better. No one will elect a washed up drunken hag. Remeber the Democrats are an anti-American party now.

How sure is Cruz that he's going to win? He just canceled the next debate with O'Rourke.

Dog help us if that goofy bitch runs again.

I found the following heartening in that it shows democrats in blue states which Trump carried, can still vote the conscience without worrying about losing the next election.

Heidi Heitkamp was ready to vote 'yes' on Kavanaugh. Then she watched him with the sound off.



Apparently she was losing badly before the vote, but with any luck at all, her vote might sway her base support and independents. It would have worked for me if I lived in ND.

Have no respect for due process and innocent until proven guilty. Those are anti-American things. Why would you find that heartening?

Bush won the election. All the Supreme Court did was prevent Gore from causing a constitutional crisis by continuing his failed attempts to cheat his way to victory.

Meaning the Democrats won't be allowed to cheat in elections anymore.

Clinton’s approval is still in the toilet.

I just got my mail in ballot. I guess they want to give the old folks a chance to vote before we forget there even is an election.

Can I call people a 'goofy bitch' without you reporting me for name calling? I'm just trying to get the 'forum rules' straight. Where I come from, only a goofy bitch would call someone else a goofy bitch....so I never call anyone a goofy bitch. I friggin hate to hear a male call any women a 'goofy bitch', but maybe I'm of a delicate nature. (I actually have two words for people who use such terms, the same two you usually report me to the moderators for using)

Do you get slap-happy in the middle of the night? Did you actually think I'd engage in a conversation like that?

If you call people in the forum names, you can be reported. That might mean that your post is pulled, and if reported often enough, you might get sent on a little vacation. People who are not members are fair game. As long as I can't tell some goofy bitch who posts here that she's a goofy bitch, then I'll play by the rules and report others who call people names. See how that works? Others can play that transparent passive-aggressive bullshit, too.

Clinton lost that election because she acted like a goofy bitch. She sat on her dead ass for weeks after the convention, which she treated as though it had been a coronation. Once she finally got moving, she wasted her on states she didn't have a hope in hell of winning, most notably Florida. She also wasted Mr. Obama's considerable political capital in Florida. She did not go around to states that Mr. Obama had won, and which could have put her over the top--Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania, most notably. I call that being a goofy bitch. The last thing the Democrats need is that loser heading the ticket in 2020.

If that's what you're trying to do, you might try reading the forum rules. I especially recommend article 8, "No Personal Attacks", and the first two sentences therein.


Notice: "other memebers" and "each other". No forum rule I can see forbids any name-calling of nonmembers.

Ted Cruz declines, so challenger Beto O’Rourke gets an hour on national TV by himself

If his performance there does not dispel the lies and ease the doubts the Cruz attack ads have created he is toast. His TV ads are so bland even his supporters should not be pleased.

Max Boot, former opinion editor of the Wall Street Journal, writing in the Washington Post:

"In 1964, the GOP ceased to be the party of Lincoln and became the party of Southern whites. As I now look back with the clarity of hindsight, I am convinced that coded racial appeals had at least as much, if not more, to do with the electoral success of the modern Republican Party than all of the domestic and foreign policy proposals crafted by well-intentioned analysts like me. This is what liberals have been saying for decades. I never believed them. Now I do, because Trump won by making the racist appeal, hitherto relatively subtle, obvious even to someone such as me who used to be in denial."

If she has to shoot somebody that tries to attack her or her family is the right thing to do. And she has already warned would be attackers.

"I'm fairly numb to how unresponsive and pathetic our federal government has become, but the recent Kavanaugh hearings reinforced just how bad it is.

Poisonous partisan politics have rendered our government incapable of functioning with even a semblance of integrity. That's why I've chosen to dedicate my life to fighting for Wolf-PAC's plan to overrule Congress and the Supreme Court with an amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

The truth is that we should be terrified of Congress. For the last 40 years, we've sat back and watched as they pass law after law benefitting only a small group of wealthy elites, corporations, and special interests that can afford to spend excessively in our elections. Year after year, decade after decade, it gets worse. They can't be trusted to save us. Not today. Not after the election in November. Congress and the Supreme Court are completely broken.

It's up to us to fight back with everything we have. We must get a U.S. Constitutional Amendment that restores the integrity of our elections and restores faith in our government. We can get there, but only if we're willing to step up and fight together.

This is urgent.

There is way too much at stake.

Congress just voted to approve a man to our highest court who called the disastrous Buckley v. Valeo decision, the Supreme Court case on campaign finance that decided limits on election spending in the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 are unconstitutional, “one of the most important sentences in First Amendment history".

Judge Kavanaugh is going to be yet another person on the Supreme Court who is pro-corruption. Yet another person at the top of our justice system who wants to drown out the voices of average Americans and continue moving our country closer to complete corporate rule.

There is a solution - we overrule Judge Kavanaugh. We overrule the Supreme Court. We overrule our broken Congress. We do this with an amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Wolf-PAC is pursuing a proven, effective strategy for achieving constitutional change. So far, we've gotten 10% of our state governments to demand this amendment. We need to keep going. We need to keep fighting."

- Mike Monetta, National Director of Wolf-PAC

I bet I'm the first a2ker to vote this go round. Just mailed the ballot.
