Again, says the person with the avatar you have on display.

I do love it when folks go to worst case scenario with everything. I love where I live; not that your opinion on the matter is relevant.

What about my avatar?*

You Leftists need to explain these things, for I, nor anyone else on the right side of the political ledger are clairvoyant.

PS> Some people enjoy living in ****holes. Good on ya mate. May I suggest Haiti?

PSPS> Nice work with the paragraphs.

*When folks bring up that avatar, it illustrates how deep under their skin it gets. Thanks.

You assume too much. It doesn't get under my skin at all because I don't have an affinity toward leaders, so there's no need to defend them. The point I made about the avatar was in relation to how you say you don't hate Obama but consistently bring him up and have him in your avatar.

You Leftists need to explain these things, for I, nor anyone else on the right side of the political ledger are clairvoyant.

What do you need explained?

PS> Some people enjoy living in ****holes. Good on ya mate. May I suggest Haiti?

Well one man's treasure is another man's junk I suppose; so where is the paradise that you call home? Oh, and I'm good where I'm at.... but thanks for the suggestion.

PSPS> Nice work with the paragraphs.

Sure. Didn't want to make things complicated for you.

So why did you ask why the OP was created? Why not comment on the OP straight away?

You obviously have issues with the OP.

Nope. Just curious why you think this is thread worthy. Perhaps you are just bored?

Must be tough being a Leftist.

Wouldn't know. I've only voted for one Democrat in my whole life back in the early 90s, a local office and I knew the guy from high school. He was a blue dog (I live in AL).

Someone provides factual information you dislike, you obviously have no idea how to respond to it, and create a dimwitted first post.

What words did I use that lead you to this conclusion? I am indifferent to this "information". I find it rather dull and unsurprising. That is why I am pondering your motive here.

You seem to have mistaken this forum for Democratic Underground.*

Been on forums for 15+ years, never visited that site.

Did you see anything indicating bragging? Did you?

With 99+% of the press coverage being hyper-negative... ROTFLOL...

And now Trump has the Looney Leftists in the House to make minced meat out of.

Seems rather braggadocious.

So, what did you really want to say?

Already said it.

May I suggest you spit it out directly next time instead of whining and crying like some triggered snowflake.

What words did I use to lead you to this conclusion? Are you projecting? This post looks like a lot of projection.

*I suggest you post there until you can figure out how to debate. Then come back here and grace us with your intellect.

This is your idea of "debate"?

Noted.

It’ll come down to the economy. Trump righted Obama’s ****hole economy.

Also a factor... the Democrat nominee. But... their bench is empty, old and Socialist. Thanks Obama.

Comrade Betov would get massacred.

Old Joe Biden, the gaffe machine, who never held a private sector job in his life will get slaughtered too... and he is their best chance to date.

Hillary? Nope. The Clinton Tour illustrated they’re dead.

Kamala Toes? Nope. A light weight who used her vagina to reach her position. She poses well, but that’s about it.

Retardicus? ROTFLOL... nope. A proven moron.

Who will they run? My guess is they will send out someone to get slaughtered.

Does it? Trump has a 51% approval rating on the economy.

https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/president_trump_job_approval_economy-6182.html

That good. Yet that didn't stop people from voting against him and the GOP in the midterms. No, there is something else over riding the economy which was good on election day. As is unemployment and jobs creation. Something else turned the folks against Trump and his party. I think it is his obnoxious, very unpresidential behavior than policy or the economy. Of course most Trumpers laugh at me every time I state that. Even so, I am sure that is what caused independents to abandon him. Policy and issue wise, independents are split, for some, against some. Which would lead one to think they should be giving Trump closer to a 50% approval rating than the current 38%. It's Trump character and personality that is keeping him close to the 40% mark.

https://news.gallup.com/poll/214151...utm_content=morelink&utm_campaign=syndication

Because of his personality, character, his more or less distasteful persona, I think Trump could bring world peace and he still would be disliked and his job approval would remain around 40%. My opinion anyway.

As to an opposing candidate, we'll see whom the Democrats choose. After all, 2020 will be all about the candidates. Are the democrats dumb enough to choose another Hillary Clinton or did they learn something from 2016?

You brought up my avatar... obviously it hits a nerve or you wouldn’t have pointed it out. That I pointed out your pointing it out, now we get the Leftist Shuffle. ROTFLOL... BUSTED!!!

You made no point about the avatar. You simply pointed to it with a form of disdain.

I don’t hate Obama. Just because he’s an anti-American kook, doesn’t mean I hate him. I dislike his destructive ideas.

As for the avatar itself, it is self explanatory. Obama was used, abused, and a coward. He treated enemies like friends (and got nothing in return), and friends like enemies with no gain for America.

What do you need explained?

You needed to explain your thoughts behind your comment on my avatar. I had zero idea what you were thinking with your comment about it.

Well one man's treasure is another man's junk I suppose; so where is the paradise that you call home? Oh, and I'm good where I'm at.... but thanks for the suggestion.

I too am based in a ****hole... an EU country.* I do so because it is highly profitable.

Sure. Didn't want to make things complicated for you.

Clear, concise communication is critical to success.

Some of the most important things I do in business is write clearly and concisely so people actually read what I write. It’s worth very serious money. Most people gloss over a sea of words.

*Many here point to that country as an example of what the US should be. Ugh... it only proves these people are as clueless as Occasio-Cortez.

1. You know the traditional midterm swing. This one wasn’t that bad, 40 R’s retired, and they picked up Senate seats.

2. I agree some do not like Trump because of his style, and... of course being bashed 24/7/365 by the media to drive down his numbers does not help.

If Trump’s successes were celebrated, instead of ignored, his numbers would be astounding. If he was treated a’la Obama, he’d have incredible numbers.

3. We tried Romney and McCain... the media treated them as they do Trump. This is the answer to that treatment.

4. I believe the media attempt to undermine Trump, does not reflect the deep down sentiment of many. He is hated by the Left, and that bias has to be bled into the equation too.

5. there are those on the right who didn’t vote for him, but see he is actually doing what he promised... and fights daily for the country and our liberty.

People may dislike trump, but when it comes to 2020, he will have a litany of success stories to tell, and to clobber his Socialist opponent with.

Here is your OP:

And the point of this thread is...?

If you couldn’t figure out a debate angle beyond disliking the OP, then you should have moved along elsewhere. To another thread, or perhaps... Democratic Underground

You're not getting it. There is nothing I like or dislike about this thread. I'm asking why you created it. What is your motive? I don't see anything worthy of debate in the OP because it really says nothing other than "Trump is as popular as he ever was, suck it libs!"

Has to be a mass psychosis. Forty percent of the country is delusional.

In my original comment I pointed out that for someone who hated Obama you sure bring him up often and the reference to the avatar was that he was there too; it doesn't bother me at all and it wasn't why I brought it up. So you can go ahead and do the Hokey Pokey now.

Well, one would think you'd just move on then. What is it that irks you about a past president that he needs to be brought up so often?

The only "debate" I have seen is over the source of the information. Was that your intention, to discuss HotAir? Seems they are just passing on the numbers.

1. To repeat... I do not, nor have I ever “hated” Obama. I reserve “hate” for vile **** stains like terrorists.

2. Obama is a public figure who failed the United States miserably. You may want to bury the turd, I believe he serves as a glaring example of socialist idiocies. I understand why you want him and his twin, Criminal Hillary buried.

Leftists are amazing in their desire to eliminate their failures. Why are you so ashamed of Obama? Your trying to scrub his failure from the political scene is quite Stalinistic.

What is it about free speech you so despise?

Well, one would think you'd just move on then. What is it that irks you about a past president that he needs to be brought up so often?

If Obama is so great, why do you folks want to bury him? You’d think you’d be holding him and his (non-existent) legacy as shining example of Socialist success... ROTFLOL...

Not my intention. It was a typical Leftist who didn;t like what he was reading.

Happens all the time with Leftists.

[ElChupacabra]

1. To repeat... I do not, nor have I ever “hated” Obama. I reserve “hate” for vile **** stains like terrorists.

You've clarified that, but I was referring to what I posted in the original post.

2. Obama is a public figure who failed the United States miserably. You may want to bury the turd, I believe he serves as a glaring example of socialist idiocies. I understand why you want him and his twin, Criminal Hillary buried.

Like what specifically?

Leftists are amazing in their desire to eliminate their failures. Why are you so ashamed of Obama? Your trying to scrub his failure from the political scene is quite Stalinistic.

It's funny that you assume I'm an Obama supporter just because I point out your continual reference to him; or that I'm bothered by the avatar. I just find it interesting you keep bringing him up.

What is it about free speech you so despise?

That's your assumption. I have at no point questioned your right to post whatever you want.

If Obama is so great, why do you folks want to bury him? You’d think you’d be holding him and his (non-existent) legacy as shining example of Socialist success... ROTFLOL...

At what point did I say he was? Although you do use "leftist" often to refer to anyone who disagrees with any of your points, so maybe it's just your own binary thinking at play.

All I'm saying is that Trump has lost a lot of support from independents he had on election day and when he was inaugurated. Somehow Trump and company has to find a way to get that support back. Relying on the Democrats to nominate another Hillary Clinton in 2020 in my opinion is folly. They just very well might do that, especially since California has moved up their primary to Super Tuesday in 2020.

One other thing, it was the open seats that lost the house for the GOP, it was incumbents running for reelection that did it. 30 Republican running for reelection lost.


Thirty Republicans lost re-election to Democrats:
