    Its alright Lil Debbie.....We understand!
    New Dem registrations up 90% .. Pug registrations up 15%

    You should worry, but I do understand that you know you'd lose the bet.

    Of course I am correct. There is never a good reason to bet with you.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.


    I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.

    Say hi to my dear decease Uncle Bobby next time your whistling near the graveyard.

    And say goodbye to the House of Representatives.

    It'll be okay - it's about checks and balances - somebody needs to contain the Tangerine Tornado.

    Bo think about this.....The Demos could have had 100% registration. Going all the way up to the max, and it still wouldn't have been enough voters to match the Repubs.

    Now quit hanging out in the Twilight Zone and come back to reality. Everything will be awwww-ight even if the left is reduced to just California and NY. Their Coastal hubs of damnation.

    You don't get it - This Clown of a POTUS is losing Republicans - but most of all he is losing independents.

    Overall, 35% of white registered voters identify as independent, while about as many (36%) identify as Republican and fewer (26%) identify as Democratic. -Pew Research

    Demographic shifts, voter enthusiasm, white suburban women and minorities are gonna getcha this fall.

    Buckle up for a rough ride!

    Bo.....your Demos have declared War on Whites. Went Racist. Now Doubling Down. Blue Dogs aren't voting for the Demos. They are sticking with Trump. Gave the Demos that Big Middle Finger. Said C-Ya wouldn't wannabe ya. Asta Lavista baby. Ciao. Sayonara. Told the Demos don't go away mad.....just go away. Far away and Don't come back.

    Oh and more Blacks and Latinos are voting for Trump. They too, know that the Demos are a lost cause and they are tired of the Demos using them and tricking them out of living the good life.


    Brutal: Poll Spells Big Trouble For Dems With White Working Class Voters.....


    Then again, voters often think even less of the Democrats -- viewing them as leaderless, agenda-less, and too wedded to government "solutions." In their preliminary efforts to win back Congress next year, Democrats have introduced a terrible new slogan, and have commissioned polling to help determine how to splinter off more votes from a demographic that pushed Trump to victory: Working class whites. Their own survey paints a bleak picture on that front. Here's a big one:

    Even after six months of shambolic Republican governance, Democrats are still viewed as an unacceptable alternative to many persuadable voters in middle America. Those were the sobering findings of a Democratic survey commissioned by the party-backed House Majority PAC, which Politico and McClatchy first reported. The poll surveyed working-class white voters in pivotal districts that Democrats are targeting in the midterms. Despite the Trump turmoil in Washington, Republicans held a 10-point lead on the generic ballot (43-33 percent) among these blue-collar voters. Democrats hold a whopping 61 percent disapproval rating among these voters, with only 32 percent approving. Even Trump’s job-approval rating is a respectable 52 percent with the demographic in these swing districts.

    Interestingly, Republicans' Congressional ballot advantage over Democrats (though they trail nationally) is stronger (+13) among 18-59 year-olds within this racial-socioeconomic demographic than it is with those who are 60-plus (+. The same goes for Trump's job approval. Within the younger cohort, he's riding high at (56/40), while barely above water with older working class whites (49/47). Again, these are findings from a Democratic poll. Two-thirds of this electorate approves of Republicans in Congress, and their top stated objections to Democrats are (a) not working with the GOP, and (b) obstructing Trump. The "resistance" is turning them off. Kraushaar explains another source of Democrats' struggles, stretching beyond just white voters without a college education:

    His either/or point is important. Democrats are more likely to ride anti-Trump sentiment to victories in the 'burbs, even if many of those voters are suspicious of their propensity to raise taxes and run up federal spending. But if they're still sucking wind in rural and white working class districts, Republicans have a chance to save their House majority even if suburban voters swing pretty heavily toward Team Blue. It's about economics and culture. The full poll is HERE. I'll leave you with this reminder of a core component of the GOP's swing district strategy:.....snip~

    How the Democratic Party Lost the Support of Poor Whites

    ... There is little to suggest a future for the party here in this once reliable Democratic stronghold, at least in races on the national level. President Trump easily carried this county in the 2016 election, and Iowa as a whole; the only counties Hillary Clinton won were in metropolitan areas or university towns.

    Iowa’s dramatic change has been both abrupt and a long time in coming. In 2008, the state propelled Mr. Obama to the White House. A year later, it was the first in the Midwest to legalize same-sex marriage. But last November, Mr. Trump won Iowa by a larger margin than he won Texas. And now Republicans control the governor’s office, the Legislature, both Senate seats and three of four in the House.

    Pundits might think otherwise, but places like Clinton [Iowa] and dozens of other small towns like it along the Mississippi River have already gone red, the result of a long economic decline that changed their makeup and eventually their politics. Like many towns in Iowa, they have been losing more college-educated voters than they retain, leaving a less educated and less mobile group of voters more likely to vote for Republicans, whom they see as more in touch with their lives and beliefs.,,

    Here in Clinton and elsewhere in rural Iowa, there has been no significant transformation to a knowledge-based economy, with wide stretches where the jobs are better suited to those with less education. The result is that a state that thrives on trade has a regrettable net export: some of its best-educated people.

    “We educate the hell out of our people, but our economy can’t use them, so they leave,” said Dave Swenson, an economist at Iowa State University who has documented the exodus of college graduates from the state.

    Iowa’s high school graduation rate still leads the nation, but those who go on to four-year colleges often find themselves with limited prospects in areas outside the robust economy of Des Moines and its suburbs and often leave after graduating.

    Once again Bo, the Demos have failed to learn.....Its the Economy Stupid.

    More lengthy, boring cut and pastes?

    Thanks - I'll pass. Trump lost the popular vote by 3 million and squeaked the EC by 77,000 votes in three states thanks to 2 announcements from Comey 11 days in, email hacking and a buttload of fake news from Russian bots and trolls.

    You better wise up Janet Weiss
