So says you. We just may have an opportunity to see for ourselves. Stop being such a one sided fool and look at the big picture."...Trump reaching across the aisle........".
Jack, Trump would not be able to get change for a quarter from anyone in Congress on EITHER side of the Aisle!
Are you happy with how this country is being run? Are you happy with Congress and what they jhave accomplished?
I think you are right, too.
I am a Trump supporter, yes. I am leery of radical religions that mean the US harm and against people coming over here or staying too long, being illegal. There are many hard working immigrants that come over here legally and seek citizenship. Vet them well and I will welcome each and everyone. Does that fit your definition of xenophobia? Being safe is something we owe to each American.No surprise that Jackson is one of the Trump faithful. Ugly xenophobia(google it Jackson
)
You mean old white Christians are mad and bitter and fearful and now only 44 percent of the population
They are something like 80% of congress and over 90 percent will keep their jobs. I think the number was something like 100+ congress members were unopposed last time and that number will probably rise this time.
The electorate isn't angry. You're seeing a one-time majority coming apart at the seams. Those who can't adapt are being marginalized and ignored by and large.
Of course they are angry. Congress is stagnant and doesn't get anything done. Everyone is playing party politics instead of the common sense needs of the country as a whole. The president ignores the balance of power and dictates through EO's. It's scary when one man has so much power in our country. It isn't supposed to be like that.

Yeah, right.
Care to hazard a guess how many people are re-elected by the "angry electorate" at the federal level? I'm saying its over 8 out of 10 who are eligible. So of 535 elected officiials, I predict at least 428 will keep their office.
The same people who are voting for your new messiah are the ones voting for their gal or guy to go back to office.
The anger is a figment of the imagination. You guys like Trump because he's entertaining and likely knows less about government than his supporters. Basically in the land of mimes and jesters, he's a juggler which makes him stand out...but he's just as ill equipped for the position he seeks.

I can afford to laugh, Jack. Trump has a lot of fans, but most of them will be busy watching the WWW Smackdown on election day, so they won't be voting.....

Yes, there are so many other reasons for voting a particular way... name recognition, low information voters, so your premise is valid.
Candy corn, I won't even waste my time when you are so incredibly small minded and unable to look beyond your nose. Do I see anger? Yes because it has been said over and over. You can't but will deny it becaujse your mind is closed.First a correction. Earlier I stated that 535 offices were up for grabs. Not true. I was wrong. It is 435 seats in the House and 33 in the Senate for a total of 468 contests....
Of that I predict that 8 out of 10 or 375 will keep their seats.

A couple of nights ago, you had the choice to learn something in a debate or watch a carnival act with Donald Trump. What did you choose? The carnival. You embody the typical low information dolt. Then you came here and bragged about it.
The voters are not angry that support Trump; they are lazy; cannot be bothered with details or the complex solutions that exist for the complex challenges we face; and like that their new Messiah keeps things so simple for them.
As a political ploy, that's smart...you can't fault Chump for simplifying things for his idiot supporters. That he has to simplify things for you dolts is another issue all together. But it is smart on his part to simplify everything to building a wall, banning people by a religion, and "kick ISIS's ass". And my favorite argument of all, "Tariffs on Chinese products" I would tell you all of what he isn't telling you; that the wall will not stop illegal immigration, you can't tell what religion someone is by looking, and our suicide rate among vets is at an all time high due mostly to the past interventionalists policies in the middle east and that the price of gasoline will skyrocket along with nearly consumer good most Americans purchase since they are made in China. And no, it won't stimulate people to build factories here again to make consumer goods. What it will do is cause our trading partners to penalize our exports and cash in their treasuries....but since there is no entertainment value to it...it would just bore you.
So they were happy in 2012? I guess anger only happens in mid-term elections?
According to Wikipedia...The electorate was so "angry" ine 2014 that turnout was 37% or 63% were happy enough not to care. And even when the 37% showed up, the GOP gained 22 seats out (9 senate, 13 house);
22 out of 468I don't know how many the Dems gained but lets say they had the same results; though we both know they didn't....that would be 44 or still less than 10% of the seats switching hands!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When the Congress was held by Democrats, nothing got done. Same for Republicans. I suggest a sign outside the Chambers doors. "Leave your party hats on the table. You are about to enter the People's House and we do bidding for the people of this nation, not the parties."You mean old white Christians are mad and bitter and fearful and now only 44 percent of the population

Bush, Reagan and Nixon all had more EO's. Kind of blows your little whine out the back door. The congress doesn't work well because your party(republicans) have turned into the party of no. Past the damn budget funding the basics or get ready to lose.
George w bush had more power and you didn't whine.
Lets see. What have they accomplished since 2014
