There is only one reason why Trump won the election

It was they didn’t want a female president.

“Lock her up” really meant “Get in the kitchen and make me a sandwich”

Why pro religion?

Because we live in an asymmetric two-way humanity.

I wasn't the one responsible for them getting banned, so I should hardly have to shoulder the blame. The only person I in fact ever reported was some psycho who threatened me, called me an Aspie ret*d, and sent me a site filled with bloody battle field atrocities. This same insane A hole had done the same to a moderator, and got his just desserts.

Glad you liked it.

In 2008 a Republican relative I sometimes sparred with asked me to handicap the overall federal election (POTUS, House, Senate), and I said 'If Democrats don't win big, we should give up and stop fielding candidates.'

2016 wasn't as extreme in the other direction, but President Obama had run a low-ish approval rating during much of his presidency despite being personally well-liked by Democrats and moderate voters. So that was a bit of a warning sign: If people like your candidate more than your policies, that's a bad time to nominate a successor who's less well-liked and more closely associated with policies that irritate wavering parts of your coalition (interventionism and globalization).

As far as Democrats pivoting, I agree with you. Running to Trump's left on trade is a little tricky, but it's not too hard to poke holes in his credibility on the topic.

If Democrats do shift on trade, it will cost some of the suburban votes that Clinton picked up in 2016, and maybe some left-wing internationalists as well (although Trump is so appalling to them that they'll probably turn out for almost any nominee). It would probably bring back some union Democrats who didn't vote for Clinton. Add in Republican women who can't tolerate Trump, and that might be a winning coalition.

Republicans could counter by hammering the Democratic nominee (and Democrats in general) on gender politics and abortion, since union swing voters are likely to be mostly male, and Republican women are mostly pro-life.

I make better sandwiches than most of the women I've dated. The one possible exception was a professional baker, and my cookies were still a lot better than hers.

In my innocence I always thought that "eating" girls was just a dirty slang term. But now I see that you're trying to fatten her up first

In the video, one guy pointed out that the 9/11 bombers were Muslim. He said he couldn't believe religious people would do such a thing.

What's interesting to see, in the video, is all these very poor people, people on Medicaid and living below the poverty level see a New York billionaire Donald Trump as a better option than a Democrat.

They see Donald Trump as a better path to get access to health care.

They see Donald Trump as a better path for a higher standard of living

They call him names like "buffoon" and "loudmouth", but they say he's still better than a Democrat.

As I said before he's the poor man's idea of a rich man, the stupid man's idea of a smart man, and the weak man's idea of a strong man.

He may have lots of money and right now he has power but he is a failure as a human being. That is why he is "poor" on my opinion.

Oh and he's from New York of course. Them damn yankees! j/k.

The point is that many of Trump's supporters couldn't stomach the idea of a woman in power.

That's not just Trump supporters, it's pretty much a given when you live in a patriarchal society like ours.
