Ultimately, what drew Trump voters to show up en masse...

[kaz]

And what difference does it make that they supported a mandate and pools? Who gives a fuck what one conservative group once proposed that never went anywhere and didn't even come up for a vote in Congress because most Republicans opposed it?

It certainly was and is being implemented in Mass. under Romney's governorship.

No, the 20K pages were almost all not implemented in Massachusetts. And who gives a shit? Why does that matter? You people with these stupid points are like pigeons pecking walls. It's inane, but you're inane. You seem to think repeating stupid shit like that enough makes it suddenly matter.

leading from in front

What does the above mean, exactly???

George Washington lead from above and in front on his high horse. it means he was between the battle and the men dying for their cause, in that case the birth of America. no one wants to fight but someone needs to know how.


Lincoln, Roosevelt. Generals Patton, Eisenhower, Grant, Macarther, never coined the phrase "we're leading from behind". they could have, because they all came before obama, but they didn't.

I'm including myself in this forum (and other venues) as one who derided and condescended Trump acolytes and right wingers in general.

Many of us called these folks, old, white, southern red-necked types, uneducated, narrow-minded, racists, xenophobic, misogynists, regressive.....and downright stupid American voters who claimed that they only lost in the past because us.....democrats....cheat at the polls by having illegals and corpses vote along with us.

These labels and derisive name-calling obviously angered these folks, and they made damn sure to come out and vote by the millions for someone like Trump whom many of them (not all, obviously) hated LESS than they hated Hillary Clinton.

Comey's letter certainly had its debilitating (and expected) impact on Clinton, but the thinly-veiled allegation by Comey is far from the main factor why many just did not vote for her (just heard a report that in some Wisconsin county, 45,000 people skipped the presidential slots, and Trump won by a mere 27,000 votes.)

Yes, for us democrats....as Pogo famously stated......we met the enemy and it was indeed us. Clinton had too much baggage on her shoulders AND, our labeling right wingers uneducated hicks has made us pay the heavy price.

You think?

Everyone who voted for Trump was determined to do so from the MOMENT he announced he was running.

Not me.

I was originally for Walker.

You are correct; that post was one of my rare "Liberal" moments.
