What did we learn from this election??

[bill718]

THOUGHTS FROM AN INDEPENDENT:

Democrats flipped a lot of House seats from red to blue. Republicans made more modest gains in the Senate. So, what did we learn from all of this?

* Donald Trump made this election a referendum on him, and it wasn't very successful. More voters cast ballots for Democrats than Republicans in this election.

* The GOP proved their base is still solid, and Democrats will have to moderate their positions in order to pass bipartisan legislation.

* Women are leaving the GOP...pure and simple. This exodus started long before 2016 and has accelerated under Trump. If the GOP doesn't become more sensitive to the needs of women, they'll find themselves in a very bad place in American politics.

* House Democrats would do well to focus on healthcare, education, and the environment. Attacking Trump too soon, or with insufficient evidence will only weaken their position.

* Americans....both Conservative and Liberal have grown weary of "attack dog politics" They want their political leaders on both sides to tone down the ugly rhetoric, get back to work, and pass legislation that will be of benefit to all Americans. I predict this will happen a little more now, not much, but perhaps enough to begin to restore some lost faith in a dream that began in 1776.

Dems will lie to win elections. Over half the House seats Dem's won, the Dem candidates ran as Trump supporters and vowed not to support Nancy Pelosi for House speaker. Now after the elections don't be shocked when they vote the exact opposite.

We learned that, once again, the US Federal debt is spiraling out of control, and neither the Dems nor the GOP give a shit about it....

How many more?

The liberal infested media is more biased than ever.

I think we also learned Florida needs oversight in their managment of elections. They have problems each election since Bush. I think they need oversight down there.

I agree. Broward county seems to always have trouble with counting votes and recounts.

After Trump and Scott cry ‘fraud,’ critics pounce on Broward County’s troubled election history

How the woman in the article still has that job is beyond me. I would have fired her ass.

AND does this sound like a blue wave or repudiation of Trump when Dem's have to pretend to be Trump supporters to win?

 

[Manonthestreet]

We learned Broward cty is abusing the civil Rights of it's citizens and Feds need to step in.

The Obama mistake has almost corrected itself. Dem's lost election after election following his lead of openly advocating Dem policies. In 2018 many Dem's have gone back to lying and pretending to be center right leaning Trump supporters to win their elections.

Donald Trump is an epic winner is one thing we learned. Each person he campaigned for ended up winning save one.

Meanwhile, every person Obama campaigned for lost.

We also learned that with the changing demographics of the USA, even the most crazy can get elected:

We should follow Israel, build that wall.

You may have a point. After all, the Orange Virus ran as a conservative republican.

Hate will consume you and affect your health. I'd recommend backing off politics for a while if you're so triggered.

* Donald Trump made this election a referendum on him, and it wasn't very successful. More voters cast ballots for Democrats than Republicans in this election.

>>> That is specious nonsense. More Democrats were up for reelection than were Republicans. It also ignores the fact that these are STATE elections with variances in population levels.

* The GOP proved their base is still solid, and Democrats will have to moderate their positions in order to pass bipartisan legislation.

* Women are leaving the GOP...pure and simple. This exodus started long before 2016 and has accelerated under Trump. If the GOP doesn't become more sensitive to the needs of women, they'll find themselves in a very bad place in American politics.

>>> Nope, that is another fallacious bit of nonsense promoted by the Left via their Identity Politics propaganda.

* House Democrats would do well to focus on healthcare, education, and the environment. Attacking Trump too soon, or with insufficient evidence will only weaken their position.

>>> The Dems are controlled by their Prog base now. They will not resist using their power in the House to attack Trump. They do not have any other agenda besides thei.

* Americans....both Conservative and Liberal have grown weary of "attack dog politics" They want their political leaders on both sides to tone down the ugly rhetoric, get back to work, and pass legislation that will be of benefit to all Americans. I predict this will happen a little more now, not much, but perhaps enough to begin to restore some lost faith in a dream that began in 1776.


>>> I hope you are are correct, but I don't think we will see this for quite a long time, if ever.

So what?

We leaned voters do weird things. The voters in Missouri flipped their senator from Dem to Repub but at the same time approved 3 very liberal ballot initiatives.

You’re the one who’s lying.

We learned our president mistreats women. Just from the way he treats women reporters.

 

[deanrd]

We learned that it takes overwhelming numbers to beat Republicans because of all their cheating and voter suppression.
