The writing is on the wall. It's time for Democrats to get out o the US. US SCOTUS is going almost solid red, and will be 7-2 before long, with 2 Democrat SCOTUS members in their 80s. Democrats! Everything you value is disappearing before your eyes. Goodbye Roe vs Wade. Goodbye Affirmative Action. Goodbye Same Sex Marriage. Goodbye gun-free zones. I could go on and on with this but you have the idea.
There are scores of liberal countries you could go to, with liberal policies galore. Canada, UK, France, Denmark...they're all out there waiting for you. The longer you wait, the tougher it will be to go there.
Don't count your eggs before they Hatch Maine R senator might not vote for Repub Justice
Ed, I like you personally, and you know that, but your peeps are between a rock and a hard place because of this Kennedy retirement.
Why?
Because Trump is going to put up a NASTY anti Socialist, interpret the constitution as written...…….. constitutionalist BEFORE the midterm elections.
IF the 3 stooges in Indiana. North Dakota, and Missouri vote against him/her, they are 100% out of there. (maybe Joe Manchin too) If they vote FOR him/her, the Democratic base will NOT vote for them, which also means they are 100% OUT OF THERE.
So what this really means is, those 3 races are OVER! The GOP has won, and all you really have is a possible Tennessee pick up.
These elections in all fairness, look like a change in house members of 4 or 5 in either direction...…...which means NOTHING in the grand scheme of things; and a pick up of at least 2 for the GOP in the Senate; meaning regardless of EVERYTHING/ANYTHING, Trump is going to get a pick of his liking to the Supreme Court.
I know, I know, you don't like it, or don't believe it, but that is the reality of the situation, trust me on this one. The polls on specific policies say it is so, the demographics of where it will happen say it is so, and the insertion of the new Supreme that activated the rest of the Trump constituency to vote says it is so also.
I would NOT bet against the fact, that YOUR side again has more votes. But I would again bet, that your votes will be concentrated in areas that just send your people in with a tidal wave to those particular districts, thus winning the battle, but as usual, losing the war.
It is, what it is, and that is politics! We all must learn to move within the system, or change it. Without someone at the top wielding EOs to help you, you are going to lose, and lose big...…….while carrying a predominance of the vote.
Let me put it to you this way, and I am sure you will and others will get it----------> Hillary received over 3 million MORE votes than Trump, and still LOST the Presidency. LOOK at the map! Now after looking at the map, and KNOWING that this time it is more about LOCAL control, we both can agree, that Democrats could probably get 5 million MORE votes over their districts and areas, and still LOSE more control than what they had! That is why the GOP scoffs at Democrats plus 3, 4, or 5, 6! They are all in 3 or 4 areas, and that does NOT gain control of the House, or Senate; it only makes a landslide in those areas!
You may no longer like me personally, but I won't lie to you because I respect you; along with our nice conversations. Truth is, Democrats...….if nothing changes......are screwed!
