    ”Sway people to my point of view”?
    No one is trying to sway any of the current cult members to anyone’s point of view.

    The right will support trump no matter what occurs and are a lost cause.
    Looking at their overall demographics we can just ignore them as they will be gone in the next few election cycles regardless.
    And they should be ignored.

    Moderates have already stepped back.

    If the economy dips and / or Democrats primary a candidate that isn’t absolutely hated it’s likely done.

    I do think it’s cute that y’all say I am insulting anyone but I am just repeating what trump has already said.
    Partisan hackery much?

    yes they do, and that is why so many farmers are upset with Trump, they know that his actions are gonna hurt them long term

    if he keeps this up too long the small farms may not be able to survive and be forced to sell to the mega-farms - but maybe that is Trump's goal, to destroy the family farmer in favor of factory farming

    Farmers have always been supportive of conservative right wing political parties. There is nothing new about that.
    Hence China is blocking the import of food,... to specifically hurt Trumps fan base and not people who don't like them trade wars.

    What's the farmers alternative to Trump liberal coastal elites trying to do away with guns that farmers own? It's policy that stops them for voting Democrats but instead of changing policies you expect them to vote for Democrats cause Trump says dump crap. If they don't Democrats double down and insult them......

    And your point is what? Do you what a mechanic who has read a book on fixing cars or one who has hands on experience. Farming is much more than growing food. Land management, Mechanics and much much more. These guys can make you look ignorant. It's also ignorant to think what you are educated in more worthy than what others are educated in.

    he could not even get all the republicans to support his plan, if he could of, it would of passed - he had the votes, he just could not get all republicans to vote for it

    it was the TrumpDontCare plan... tailered more towards the rich

    I think it's cute that you trott out that quote on this article about farmers specifically and expect people to think you don't think it

    Why will their demographics be gone?
    You do realize people have been saying that for along time now and even though Dems artificially inflate their power in the EC they still lost.

    Democrat politicians must pander to every goofy opinion in their base

    Sometimes they tie themselves in knots trying to be all things to all people

    I dont expect to get my way on every issue

    Two of the largest republican voting blocks are rapidly deteriorating

    You realize the EC vastly benefits the right over the left, yes?

    They have to be... Obama's policies hurt farmers, miners, factory workers and others in many ways and Clinton was about to just double down on the amount of suffering.

    The GOP-E is starting up their one side of the story BS as well, but it won't get any traction.

    People in the heartland are feeling the effects of a president who has them covered... Swine Ebola is real and the average Leftist city dweller has no clue about the largest domestic animal problem in the history of civilization.

    No, it benefits the United States of America over the manipulation of globalists.

    :roflol:

    WAY Too Early for that sort of talk...:bored:

    As far as the article?

    It is Completely Anecdotal (with only a 2 "Iowa Farmers" actually going on record). :bored:

    In fact, ONLY 2 Named "Farmers" are actually quoted in the article.

    A 3rd person "quoted" is a college student.

    And, the RW is actually trying to claim some sort of "trend" based on this Ludicrous (Anecdotal) Narrative?:roflol: :bored:

    It didn’t do as you claim. Yes some republicans didn’t think it went further enough to end the Obamacare disaster

    Yep by busing in non citizens mostly but that talking point about republican support dying off has been around since the late 80's yet here we are in 2019 under a republican administration. Maybe it's like the earth dying talking point in that it'll just keep getting recycled

    How,bycounting illegals in the census and then giving higher EC numbers to places like California Washington Texas?

    No, we just want to help them improve, since their stupidity has a negative effect on the whole country, and unfortunately, we're all in this together.
