Obama being Black, and anger at Bush hid the fundamental problems the D party was facing.. and the GOP refusing (because their money men wanted cheap labor and cheap foreign goods) to take up immigration and trade, gave the D’s a reprieve...

Beyond that, the Republicans think they and the Democrats are still playing the same old game of dividing Americans by using abortion, gun control, and a few other issues as wedges while both party hierarchies pursue the same goals of assisting large transnational corporations. The Koch Brothers, for example, think they can fund Democrats and that they'll get open borders and cheap labor. If the Sandy Cortez bunch gets in power, they'll have their corporations seized. The Rats are playing a completely different game, now.

Trump polls better than Obama did.

The fact California is now passing legislation to let illegals become leaders of the California Democrat Party tells you all you need to know about how California is going to vote.

If he’s gay he gets a pass.

“Deplorables”
“Irredeemables”
“Racists”
“Nazis”
“Russian puppets”

Who again is “divisive?”

And frankly, I don’t give two sh*ts anymore about “national unity.” The left broke this country, and I have no illusions America can ever unite again. I don’t want any measure of common cause with liberals.

I think you are being too hard on Kushner. When books are written we may find out that he was the most effective (behind-the-scenes) advisor to this President. The kid has some serious game in terms of talent for building bridges between people/nations/organization, and acting as a facilitator in the Middle East. He is better at that than ALL of the career State Dept diplomats put together in my view (which may not be saying much). Also remember that the 2016 campaign's social media election targeting center in TX that allowed POTUS to successfully get his voters out in the key states was Kushner's baby in 2016. That is impressive by itself.

Keep in mind that this president doesn't allow people to change his mind on fundamental issues - hence the fear that Kushner's possible squishiness on some 'social issues' could influence the president is probably without missplaced.

The one thing that this president excels on like no other president before him is the ability to discern who is the best tool for a job, and then use them til their usefulness is spent (then he retires them and gets someone better for the next step).

Kushner might turn out to be the 'sharpest knife' in Trump's drawer as far as usfulness goes...

If Hitler were alive, he would immediately recognize the racist NYT as part of his Ministry of Propaganda.

“In light of this I am very disturbed to once again see polls telling us that “Trump can’t win”.”

We should expect the nazi media to dump fake polls on us from now until election day.

I intend to ignore this stuff and hammer broadsheets on trees in my district that state: DEMOCRATS VOTE ON WEDNESDAY. And in small type this: Voting early will result in losing EBT privileges for six months.

Half the knucklehead leftists will believe the posted broadsheet.

“President Trump’s approval ratings are under water in national polls.”

Huh? Which polls does this refer to?

In my wildest dreams Trump wins the popular vote and all of the delegates from the Blue States.

Trump helping the US economy is good for everyone, regardless of race and color.

People who want to, can get off welfare, get real jobs and able to take care of their families.

NV - it looks like Trump outperformed Romney in every county.

CO, MN - in general yes Hillary outperformed Obama in Democrat counties.

MI - Trump outperformed Romney in Wayne (Detroit).

NM - looks like a mixed bag

NY - Trump never really had a chance; Hillary carried Manhattan by a larger margin than Obama but Trump in the other 4 boroughs.

PA - mixed bag: Philly - Trump (better than Romney); Allegheny (Pittsburgh) - Hillary; Philly collar - Hillary

I’m guessing university towns went decidedly more for Hillary (Centre County, PA and Washtenaw County MI popped out at me).

I’m looking at Dave Leip’s uselectionatlas.org - he looks at percentages and not so much turnout - when I get some time I’ll take a look at that.

OK. At the very least, Kushner prevented Obama-hugger Chris Christie (due to the latter’s prosecution of his dad) from joining the administration, and that’s a plus.

They were just afraid. Trump should trot out the old Roosevelt line - “there is nothing to fear but fear itself”.
