Did Trump insult widow of Niger GI?

[jhmd2000]

I will assert that the counties shown here that Hillary won outpace the Trump counties in economic contribution and innovation by....5 times minimum.

And still run billions of dollars in the red. Impressive, if you think about it.

Jhmd admitted yesterday it wasn’t about good solid ideas that people support at all and was completely about fear messaging. So guys adopt fear mongering or continue to be losers.

This is solid #nosat work. The party whose sure the country is a racist wonderland full of predatory cops is lecturing fear mongering?

Which party is advocating banning people from a certain religion from entering the country and advocating building a literal wall to keep dark-skinned people out?

ITT we have learned that America’s population centers are war zones and bankrupt wastelands that not only don’t drive the economy, but are dragging down the rural bastions of economic power in far flung counties of Iowa, Alabama, Mississippi, and Wisconsin where the good people have been payed lip service to by Dems touting their big lies about robust government spending on infrastructure, job training, education, and health care and other big-city scams. Nosiree, they saw through that con and opted in the past 30 years of elections to vote for the party who pitches austerity, a trickle-down system that never trickles, a health care plan that inhibits their ability to get care in the name of freedom, a foreign policy of endless wars and bloated defense budgets, an unfettered banking system that fleeces them at every turn, and a social agenda that tells them how to have sex - who tell them it is in their best interests while it coincidentally lines the pockets of the oligarchy.

All the while living in places where maybe the culinary highlight is a Outback Steakhouse and the town Christmas pageant is the year's cultural touchstone. Maybe REO Speedwagon will pay them a visit at this year's county fair.

Republicans need to ask themselves why building walls and keeping up Confederate statues are more popular than their economy policies.

I’m adopting the fear mongering, Jhmd should be very very scared because when the order comes for purification I will be the first at his door to round up the red headed family.

Just this morning Chuck Todd on Meet the Press, while discussing the growing civil war in the GOP, compared two counties that he said defined "Trump Country" and "GOP Establishment Country." The typical GOP Establishment Country was Delaware County, Ohio, (in the suburbs of Columbus, Ohio), and the "Heart of Trump Country" was - Wilkes County, NC. Todd cited statistics showing the difference - Wilkes has a poverty rate of nearly 20%, an average annual income of just $33,000, and only 13% of the county's adults have a college degree, while Delaware County residents have a 4% poverty rate, an annual income of $92,000, and some 52% of adults are college-educated. Also, half of Wilkes County residents are Evangelical Christians, only 7% of Delaware County's residents are. Wilkes County is losing population, while Delaware County is gaining. If Wilkes is typical of Trump Country (and statistically it is, which is why Meet the Press showcased it), it's rather hard to argue that Trump Country represents the future of America demographically or economically, or represents the current prosperity of the nation. I also thought the comment from a fundamentalist Baptist preacher in Wilkes perfectly stated the main force that's driving Trump voters - "The people who were born here (Wilkes) love America. They remember a different America, and he's (Trump) promising to bring that back." What's driving Trump's base, I think, are mostly older, white, rural, native-born people who fundamentally hate living in 21st Century America. They are desperate to go back - to when their little towns still had easy factory jobs that didn't require college degrees or technical knowledge, when the only two racial groups they knew were dominant whites who were born and raised in these little places, and a small minority of blacks who "knew their place." Nearly every "decent" person went to the local Baptist or Evangelical church, and the only tech you needed to know was tuning your TV set to the local TV stations. These people despise and feel very uncomfortable living in Modern America, feel left behind, and see Trump as the guy who will turn the clock back for them. It's not possible, of course, and is an illusion, but they're clinging to it. How the Democrats are supposed to appeal to that base, which is steadily shrinking in size, while protecting the rights of all those minorities who have benefited from the social progress of the last half-century, and maintaining their current voting base which is growing in size demographically every year, is a real challenge. Trump's election may eventually be seen by historians not as the harbinger of something new, but rather as the last hurrah of a dying (literally) voting bloc - white, rural, native-born, religious fundamentalist culture.

I marvel at the pride you guys maintain, given your political and socio-economic policy results. Sourceless yet unyielding.
If you like your results, you can keep them. Good luck with that.

Results hardly matter. Feeling good and virtuous about myself does. And being able to signal that belief in my own virtue to other like-minded individuals counts the most.

I mean, Clinton and Obama took recessions and turned them around. I'd love to keep those results. Time will tell whether the economy will continue to grow, but recent numbers suggest it's already flagging under Trump.

Obama turned the economy around?

Killed OBL with his bare hands also.

 

[Gooner]

Obama turned the economy around?

He reduced the unemployment rate by 5+% in office, oversaw a record 75 straight months of job gains, grew the economy every year in office except 2009, when the USA was still trying to get through the Great Recession, increased the median household income despite the recession, grew the stock market over 200% (one of your Lord Commander's favorite things that stock market), and increased housing values even after the wild, wild west of housing loans that were permitted during the Bush years that created the bubble that burst, causing the Great Recession.

If that isn't turning the economy around after the catastrophe that was the 2008/2009 recession, I don't really know what is.

Sounds like a swell bro. So much better than his predecessor, who made us all buy too much house and sent hurricanes to attack his own people.

Surely you aren't this much of a simpleton, but we know how much you delight in treating middle Americans like simpletons and then saying you didn't. Is this the part where you say all middle Americans were duped by liberal ideas into unemployment and credit card debt with a house worth nothing to get them in the voting bloc? lol

If Obama really was a patriotic American, he’d tell Trump how he did all those things.

It's easy. Start with some Hope, add in s little Change, and voila.
