    Hello. Not sure whether it had been posted on this board before, but I thought I'd try putting it here and see what sort of response I will get. Personally I agree with the author on his first two initial points but I remain un-decided on his third point. Maybe someone more knowledgeable can shed some light on it for me.

    Here's the link: http://www.theblaze.com/contributio...ause-hillary-clinton-is-objectively-terrible/

    I will post a little tidbit from the article here to pique people's interest (slightly paraphrased): "The blue collar folks from Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin, and Michigan work for a living and have very little, if anything, leftover after all the bills are paid. And when a truck driver or construction worker from north east Pennsylvania hears some bratty, self-righteous college girl inform him of his “privilege,” he tends to roll his eyes and ignore everything else she says.

    “You’re a privileged, racist neanderthal. Now here’s who you should vote for…”

    He didn’t hear that second sentence. He heard the first part and tuned the rest out, justifiably so. Most of you know nothing of the lives of these “privileged” and “racist” folks in small town America, and until you get a clue, you’re destined to keep losing."

    Personally, I thought the author was spot-on. Liberals DO love to berate (white!) people, do they not? I think this is truly stupid on their part. People as a rule do not like being told that they are terrible people. For liberals to keep calling white people "evil racists", it is small wonder that the latter is increasingly turned from the former. It just seems to me that liberals are congenitally very unlikable people. I mean, I am a minority myself (Asian, to be exact), and supposedly they speak and root for us. However, even *I* hate them. This should really sound like a warning bell to them. They would do well to look within themselves to see what's so wrong with them. Why would they turn away even someone like me?

    Anyway, please read the link I provided above, and tell me whether you agree the author's assessments. Do you hate liberals too, or maybe you are one yourself? Lets share our thoughts.

    After Reagan's big win, everyone thought the Dems were done - finished - end of story.

    Of course, a few years later, Clinton hammers the Republicans.
    Then the Bush Crash and the Dems come back.

    All pretty much depends on the economy. If the guys in power aren't producing, they usually get kicked out.

    If the Dems start focusing on women voters, and the Republicans keep nominating Trumps, eventually it will pay off.
