    Lol... and now the buble burst was all Bush's fault.

    Calling anybody partisan is the pot calling the kettle black.

    Yeah, I wouldn't expect you to be objective, so yes cool.

    Obama defending a thug by saying he could be his son? Turning people against the police? Obama swallowed the race pill and used that to push an agenda based on racial divide.

    But, please, if you could post some of these awful dividing tweets that Trump has said, because I haven't seen them.

    The fact is, the people, not the president's are dividing ourselves. To bad, as I like to have a beer and talk to multiple people about their opinions including you.

    That's an interesting thing isn't it?

    Californian's who created disaster in CA by their votes, bail because they destroyed the place, and then bring their virus to other states.

    Reminds me of the people in the migrant caravan. Failures escaping their own failure, hoping to install the same cultural failure they achieved in their native countries.

    Quite often I have found that some of the hard core one-side-or-the-other people on the internet, are more than will to discuss things face to face (I have met several posters from political forums). Perhaps the internet has no mercy, and to not stand as absolute is read as a weakness by some. *shrug*

    That seems to be almost what happened in FL. I am shocked that Miami area went so far blue with all the refugee Cubans. Guess their kids wish they can go back to cuba?

    Wake up to socialism, high taxes and open borders? Yeah, have at it champ. Gillum is a loon. Technically he couldn't have passed any of the **** he was barking about, but still scary as heck for any FLoridian. He wants to turn us into CA, which would destroy the state. FL is FL because of our business friendly environment and low-ish taxes. Crank up business taxes and add on a state income tax would knock everyone down a quality of life bracket, except those who don't pay **** in the first place...which is Gillum's whole point. Our competitive cost of living would go into the toilet. ^$*#(@( that =)

    Same ol story. Liberals destroy their own states, then move out and try to destroy others, like roaches.

    I guess. The message of "more free stuff" resonates with certain types.

    Personally, I have a difficult time understanding why people are driven to surrender their future to unknown and uncaring politicians. IMO, they clearly don't understand what the United States is all about.

    Objective? Here's the deal. You lot insist Obama is divisive but Trump isn't. You point to things like the Martin shooting as "evidence" that Obama was divisive is downright stupid. Zimmerman wasn't even white, so insisting it's a race issue is pretty dishonest.

    I can post plenty of divisive, ruthless tweets Trump has made.

    "So called judge"
    "Why didn't these people vote" when discussing people who did vote - and who were with the majority, yet have to endure his odious presidency anyway.
    Re-kindling the ridiculous, dying NFL "Conspiracy".

    Want me to go on? The reality here is that you don't think he's divisive because you voted for him. Fine, that's our prerogative. But frankly acting like he's done things to UNITE the nation is absurd. He's simply applying butthurt salve to a bunch of folks who are morally outraged for reasons they don't even understand.

    Interesting that you side-stepped completely my assertion that today's radical Democrat Party bases its appeal to Millennials in the implied promise of welfare handouts, "subsidies", and an overall milieu of "something-for-nothing". Moreover, although you reject the idea, Communism has much in common with Socialism.... What we're moving toward today, Dairy, is what I call "Socialism-lite" -- a kind of half-assed assortment of government 'give-aways' to an overly-dependent population of people who have relinquished control of their economic lives in return for 'subsidized' lives. In return, those receiving the handouts vote for those who give it to them... nothing mysterious about that....

    When we were in our 20's and 30's we not only had to deal with a crappy job market, we had to deal with soaring inflation, double-digit interest rates, and a "Stagflation" economic environment that allowed the price of everything to skyrocket while wages were suppressed. No one will admit it but this so-called "Great Recession" we went through ten years ago was a mere momentary inconvenience compared to what we 20-somethings went through in the 1970's. Remember?

    And, yeah, I've worked with a number of Millennials, too. I've had them on my team before I retired as a lower-level manager in a Fortune 50 high-tech corporation. Typically, they know a quite a lot about a very narrow field of things that interest them, but almost nothing else. This kind of focus can be useful to a manager who seeks to extract maximum productivity from a workforce made up of people with minds cultured for that kind of intellectual limitation, but, in my experience, it rarely creates minds that can think independently or creatively....

    Hallelujah for Florida!! :cheerleader:
    We dodged the Gillum bullet, and it looks fairly certain Scott defeated Nelson (who had held that seat forever.)

    The Puerto Rican hurricane refugees are also impacting the voting landscape of Florida.

    Thank God, no Gillum!

    Riiiight..... as Democrats backpedal regarding Florida, now the losses to Desantis and [almost definitely] Scott don't matter ;) But what a different tune they'd be singing if they'd won/kept those two spots :roll:

    true, but underperformed based on historic midterms... that's a sign ...

    i hope at least a few of their upcoming witch hunts will include the notable dems, if they only 'go after' repubs, it will be their downfall come 2020 & 2022

    I'm going to take a page from Trump:

    It was the LARGEST BLOWOUT IN THE HISTORY OF THE HOUSE.

    many are stuck in their 'social media' bubbles and have no clue that there's actual life outside... i see them walking their dogs, while intently staring at the iphones, not even paying attention to the dog. i've walked right up to one, started petting her dog, she kept walking and bumped into me, she was startled that i was there, guess she must have been so traumatized by it because she hasn't come down my street since... these will be the future leaders, think about that...

    You mean swapped power in the house which happens in nearly every midterm since forever? And the Dems didn’t even flip it as much as they should have. Crushed? Crushed what? Do you read history?

    We won by 9 points before the investigations are complete. Just wait until we have more favorable Senate races next time and a corrupt and inept President who may not even be able to run again after this.

    Florida always leans to the Right and was super tight. Nationally the Democrats did well and our strategy of taking back the House succeeded. With most of the Senate races being in Red States, it was a long shot to get those. We are coming for the president, and Nunes isn't there to obstruct justice anymore.

    I’m so glad Beto got beat. The slimy socialist said in his speech last night, “I’m so f——— proud of you” to his supporters.

    Just what kids need to hear.

    It's cute how you use the words 'our', 'we', etc. Like you personally had **** to do with anything.

    Are 'you' going to take down Trump due to his tax cuts, border security, improved trade deals, improved economy, low unemployment, etc. Or are 'you' going to get him because he's a big meanie?

    We, the Left, the Democrats are going to take down Trump because he is corrupt and a danger to our national security. The economy was propped up by short term stimuli which will only make the next recession worse and of course Trump will not own that. When that recession hits, Republicans are finished for awhile at least.

    Yes, the Republicans underperformed in the House and state elections.

    The Dems will go after the criminals in both parties.
