They had effective majorities for months..

And they squandered it on something the American people did not want nor need..

The American people were clamoring, in fact BEGGING, for jobs..

Democrats gave us TrainWreckCare, proving beyond ANY doubt that, for Democrats, the Democrat Party Agenda was more important than the welfare of the American people...</description>

		<description>Liz,

&lt;I&gt;The real change will only happen when Democrats control both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue, given the sad state of affairs that is Republican governance.&lt;/I&gt;

Democrats &lt;B&gt;*HAD*&lt;/B&gt; control of both ends of Pennsylvania and THEN SOME....

They didn&#039;t do anything with it...

What makes you think that will change if they get control THIS time??</description>

		<description>Michale,

&lt;i&gt;I have already written my HILLARY HAS WON concession comment.... I don&#039;t think I&#039;ll need it, but it&#039;s down just in case... &lt;/i&gt;

Good to know. Now go back and add an entire paragraph discussing how only a moron who needed Florida to win the presidency would piss off a large chunk of the residents of that state and key swing states like Nevada... ON DAY UNO... 
DAY #1
DAY WON. 

What happened in Vegas... ! :)

		<description>&lt;I&gt;I think it would serve you well if you let it sink into that alternate reality bubble that you&#039;re living in that Donald &quot;grab &#039;em by the p***y&quot; Trump is NOT running against Shawn Carter... stage name Jay Z.&lt;/I&gt;

Of course Trump isn&#039;t..

But Trump *IS* running against a person who supports Shawn &lt;B&gt;&quot;I am a motherfucker and I bitch-slap my hos&quot;&lt;/B&gt; Carter...

And THAT tells me ALL I need to know about that person...

&lt;I&gt;Of course they&#039;re not &quot;right&quot; in the head. This is no doubt the product of their years of education and their eschewing of right-wing-nut propaganda and conspiracy theory websites. *LOL*&lt;/I&gt;

In favor of LEFT wing-nut propaganda and conspiracy theory websites...  

Like I said..  They ain&#039;t right in the head...   :D

&lt;I&gt;TRUTH :)&lt;/I&gt;

That&#039;s you&#039;re problem..  You are all about &quot;TRUTH&quot; even though &#039;TRUTH&#039; is subjective and solely based on Party loyalty...

&lt;B&gt;&quot;THEIR TRUTH IS NOT YOUR TRUTH!!!&quot;&lt;/B&gt;
-Oracle Of Yonada

Until they can come to grips with *FACTS*, they will be nothing but Party lemmings... Sheeple to be led around by their.... whatevers....

It&#039;s THAT simple...</description>

		<description>CW,

&lt;I&gt;The choice seems pretty obvious, and can be summed up as: Hillary Clinton is not Donald Trump. No matter what you think of Hillary, she is not a dangerously unstable individual with a propensity for obsessing about her enemies and wreaking vengeance. That right there is all I really needed to contemplate in order to make my choice.&lt;/I&gt;

So.....   

Are you saying that if the GOP had run a Romney-esque or a McCain-esque candidate this time around, you would be voting Republican???   :D</description>

Good one. I hope Reinhold has his resume updated. :)</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;TROUBLE FOR HILLARY IN THE TARHEEL STATE

But a CNN analysis of early voting paints a very different picture and suggests that Clinton has under-performed President Obama&#039;s 2012 performance in the Tar Heel State and Trump has outperformed Mitt Romney.

It might seem that Democrats have built up a big early lead. More than 1.3 million Democrats have already voted compared to 990,000 Republicans.

But the raw numbers don&#039;t account for the 2012 results. President Barack Obama built an early lead then but got trounced by Mitt Romney on Election Day.

As of Saturday, the final day of early voting, slightly fewer Democrats had cast ballots while 125,000 more Republicans have voted this time. If this election shapes up like the last, Donald Trump would win North Carolina.

There is one key difference that complicates the data: Independent voters came out this time in droves. They cast nearly 810,000 votes, up a whopping 42% from 2012.

This group broke heavily for Romney in 2012. However, he was a more traditional Republican. Romney himself has been one of Trump&#039;s harshest critics, saying last spring &quot;Donald Trump is a phony, a fraud.&quot;

One difference this election is the popularity of a third-party candidate, Libertarian Gary Johnson. The CNN poll of polls show him garnering 5% support among likely voters.

Other early voting trends favor Trump. While polls show Clinton has a commanding lead among African Americans, the share of black votes so far is down 5%. Trump does much better with white voters, who increased their share by 3% this election.

Another group that failed to show up was 20-something Democrats. The North Carolina Board of Elections releases data on each voter. CNN compared registered voters who voted early in both 2012 and 2016.
One third of Democrats age 22 to 29 who voted in 2012 failed to show up this time. By comparison, turnout of Democrats age 50 and older exceeded 90%.

Twenty-something Republicans were more enthusiastic. Nearly three quarters of them who voted early in 2012 showed up again this election.&lt;/B&gt;

It seems that no matter where you look, things are coming up TRUMP and Hillary is in trouble...</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>TROUBLE FOR HILLARY IN THE TARHEEL STATE</p>
<p>But a CNN analysis of early voting paints a very different picture and suggests that Clinton has under-performed President Obama's 2012 performance in the Tar Heel State and Trump has outperformed Mitt Romney.</p>
<p>It might seem that Democrats have built up a big early lead. More than 1.3 million Democrats have already voted compared to 990,000 Republicans.</p>
<p>But the raw numbers don't account for the 2012 results. President Barack Obama built an early lead then but got trounced by Mitt Romney on Election Day.</p>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;The economic stagnancy of the Obama years is to blame for plummeting life expectancy rates among white, working-class Americans, according to former president Bill Clinton, who privately told Democratic donors that lower-income whites “don’t have anything to look forward to when they get up in the morning.”

Clinton made the remarks while speaking to at a November 2015 closed-door fundraiser for Hillary Clinton in Canton, Ohio.

Echoing a theme of Republican nominee Donald Trump’s campaign, the former president expressed his concern that white, working-class Americans have been left behind over the last eight years.&lt;/B&gt;

		<description>And it looks like Hillary is ALREADY realizing she will lose the election...

&lt;B&gt;Hillary Clinton will NOT light up the sky over NYC if she wins the Presidency -- her campaign is calling off a planned fireworks show ... TMZ has learned.
The Clinton campaign had contacted the Coast Guard for permission to pull off a 2 minute long fireworks display over the Hudson River when the election results went final. The fireworks would be visible from the Jacob Javits Center, where she&#039;s holding her election night party.
But the Coast Guard tells TMZ ... Clinton&#039;s camp reached out on Thursday -- 2 days after her fireworks plan went public -- to say it wouldn&#039;t be shooting off the 10&quot; aerial shells, after all.
The Coast Guard says the campaign offered no explanation for the about-face. We&#039;ve reached out to the Clinton campaign ... no word back yet.&lt;/B&gt;

		<description>CW,

&lt;I&gt;Hillary Clinton might disappoint, but she probably won&#039;t launch nuclear weapons if some other country&#039;s leader personally insults her. The same cannot be said with any degree of confidence about her opponent.&lt;/I&gt;

Oh, come on..  Let&#039;s be real here....

That&#039;s like saying that James Earl Jones is an evil maniacal maniac killer because he is the voice of Darth Vader...

It&#039;s like saying that the guy who plays the TERRORIST level in CALL OF DUTY 3 will go out and kill innocent people by the hundreds...

Claiming that Trump will react with nuclear weapons EXACTLY like he reacts on Twitter is fear-mongering of epic proportions....</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;“Get ready for war with Russia.  This election, we are not only deciding what kind of world we will have, but whether we will have a world or not going forward. Hillary Clinton’s trigger-happy militarism is a mushroom cloud waiting to happen.”&lt;/B&gt;

Looks like the Obama Administration has unleashed the US Cyber Squad on WikiLeaks...

Yesterday, Clinton was saying, &lt;B&gt;&quot;Anything you read from Wikileaks coming out today will be forged&quot;&lt;/B&gt;

Something&#039;s up...  :D</description>

That&#039;s why I like you, K...

		<description>Speaking for me, personally...

My business simply cannot survive another 4 years of a Democrat administration...

My business absolutely requires that the lower to middle class have a modicum of disposable income...

Under the Democrats, that disposable income has all but disappeared...

So, for me, this election is a matter of survival.  If Hillary wins, my business is history...

And likely hundreds of thousands of small businesses just like mine...</description>

I bet I could find some comparable rapid right-winger who could &quot;interpret&quot; the exact same data to support HIS or HER Party ideology...

		<description>Michale,

&lt;i&gt;I am also constrained to point out that Voter TURNOUT totals don&#039;t support the claim of the Clark County Firewall that you were making.. &lt;/i&gt;

:D
 
If you knew what to look for, you wouldn&#039;t say that. You have to know how to read the data and interpret it. That&#039;s all I will say.

Oh, wait. One more thing.... Have I mentioned that Hispanics are being underpolled? Why, yes I have.... for at least 4 days now. :)

I have to go now. Later!</description>

You said something along the lines of that it&#039;s impossible that illegals will vote because it&#039;s against the law or something to that effect..

		<description>&lt;I&gt;I can see how you would think that so you DO have my apologies for the misunderstanding..

But vote turnout totals don&#039;t address the point I was making, so it should have been clear to you that my meaning was vote results, not vote turnout..&lt;/I&gt;

I am also constrained to point out that Voter TURNOUT totals don&#039;t support the claim of the Clark County Firewall that you were making..

So, I didn&#039;t move the goal posts. I left the goal posts RIGHT WHERE *YOU* put them...

I simply pointed out that the data YOU put forth doesn&#039;t make the goal at the posts where YOU placed them...

So there!!   :D</description>

		<description>Michale,

&lt;i&gt;Have I mentioned that LEGAL Hispanics tip overwhelmingly towards Trump?? I know this from well documented reports AND personal experience... &lt;/i&gt;

Personal anecdotes are always the best way to analyze data. ;) /sarcasm off

&lt;i&gt;But you are correct. ILLEGAL Hispanics overwhelmingly tip towards Hillary and the Democrats... &lt;/i&gt;

I didn&#039;t say that... so how could I be correct? Duh!</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;It&#039;s my understanding that early vote totals are NEVER released before the election... I could be wrong on that.. If I am, I am sure someone will chime in and point it out.. :D

If you know anything about ground game and get out the vote, you know how to read between the lines and see who is winning. I&#039;m guessing you know absolutely nothing about it based on our prior conversations about........ Vegas!  :)

Have I mentioned that Hispanics are being underpolled? I believe I have. I have been dropping hints about this election for 4 days now. :)</description>

		<description>Kick,

Sorry, sweet cheeks...  That&#039;s TURNOUT...

I want voting RESULTS....

Do you have any???  

No, you don&#039;t.  

And the reason you don&#039;t is because early vote results are NOT released until the polls are closed on election day...

So, I was right..  BIGLY right...

You have no vote results..  All you have is turnout..</description>

		<description>Michale,

For the toddler who can&#039;t Google for himself but expects everything spoon fed, I&#039;ve got literally hundreds of links with information. I&#039;m not going to post them all, but here&#039;s a page I found that has a lot of information with links to SOS pages.

Do your own research and stop whining. :) *LOL*

You are wrong.... bigly wrong. You can Google this yourself, you know. Why must you be spoon fed like a toddler? :)

You need a hearing aid because you&#039;re deaf. You keeping asking for stuff over and over that anybody can search for on Google.

Still waiting for you to show me the Early Vote totals from Clark County, Neveda..

It&#039;s my understanding that early vote totals are NEVER released before the election...  I could be wrong on that..  If I am, I am sure someone will chime in and point it out..  :D

But if I am right, if early vote totals are NEVER released then your claim is total BS...   :D</description>

		<description>Awww carp!!

&lt;i&gt;My gut tells me that Hillary will win with an electoral vote&lt;i&gt;

&lt;B&gt;&quot;Yea, well right now, Mac outranks your gut&quot;&lt;/B&gt;
-Jeff Daniels, SPEED

:D

Trump has the momentum upwards and Hillary has the downward trajectory. My gut (which outrank&#039;s Mac) tells me that that is going to carry for the next 36 hours..

I think we&#039;re going to see another Reagan/Carter result...

Carter was ahead the entirety of the election and, in the last week, Reagan&#039;s momentum carried him past Carter and Reagan became POTUS...

That&#039;s what&#039;s going to happen here...</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;I already posted a link in my comment at [58] which contains Trump using &quot;such language&quot; you take issue with. Your own candidate talks that way in public, but you&#039;ve got an issue with Hillary because of Jay Z? Hypocrite much?&lt;/I&gt;

I hear a lot of &quot;hell&quot;s and &quot;damn&quot;s and &quot;shit&quot;s...

Don&#039;t hear a SINGLE &quot;motherfucking&quot; or &quot;ho&quot;s or &quot;slut&quot;s or &quot;cunt&quot;s or &quot;nigger&quot;s or any demeaning of women..

Nice try, but you lose...

&lt;I&gt;Try not to hurt yourself getting down off your soapbox. :)&lt;/I&gt;

Why should I bother getting down??

I am unassailable...

You&#039;re wrong.  I&#039;m right..  :D</description>

About 1/3 chance D&#039;s wins the Presidency and Senate - yippee says he left, the right are inconsolable

About 1/3 chance D&#039;s win the Presidency and lose the Senate - Hmm says the left as they realize that the  Senate is going to block everything, including Supreme Court nominees for 4 years. The right are pretty bummed.

		<description>This may have been addressed already, and if so, apologies for duplicating.

Hillary seems to have handled the Comey issue very well. She let others raise the issues without her saying anything (that I can find).

This means that she is not on record as praising Comey in July, then trashing him in October, only to praise him again in November.

That legal conservativeness can be really valuable to Hillary. The problem is that it is also her greatest weakness - she is perceived as being over calculating, and people don&#039;t like that.</description>

My strategy?
No.
Your strategy. 
Your words exactly.

Very weak and disappointing misdirection.
I don&#039;t blame you though.
Facing the truth about Obama&#039;s war crimes is difficult for his supporters.
Providing proof that using taxpayer dollars to bail out and line the pockets of the criminals whose fraud harmed millions and caused the Great Recession and that letting them avoid prosecution was somehow good for the working class Americans who they victimized and somehow qualifies as standing up for the little guy was an impossible task.
The proof doesn&#039;t exist.
All there ever was to such claims was empty assertion by people with severe conflicts of interests.

They spun their PR campaign well enough to dupe good people... and nobody wants to admit it.

But blaming me for turning your own words back on you in order to justify non-engagement is still weak.

&quot;I&#039;m done here&quot;?
You never started.</description>

		<description>Michale,

&lt;i&gt;Oh, good grief. Trump uses &quot;such language.&quot;

Yea??? Prove it?? You can&#039;t because it simply isn&#039;t factual... &lt;/i&gt;

I already posted a link in my comment at [58] which contains Trump using &quot;such language&quot; you take issue with. Your own candidate talks that way in public, but you&#039;ve got an issue with Hillary because of Jay Z? Hypocrite much?

&lt;i&gt;Yet, you DO support a candidate who DOES support people who use such language..

Same difference... &lt;/i&gt;

Well, if it&#039;s the &quot;same difference,&quot; then I&#039;ve got some really bad news for you. In addition to Trump using &quot;such language&quot; like &quot;f***,&quot; &quot;f***ing,&quot; and &quot;motherf******&quot; right out of his own orange blowhole, he also supports the rapist Mike Tyson and the 2-time murderer Don King. So you too &quot;DO support a candidate who DOES support people who use such language.&quot; Trump hocks a soft core porn book at the Trump Tower gift shop: 

&lt;b&gt;&quot;The red room of pain in &quot;Fifty Shades of Grey&quot; would fit right into &quot;Trump Tower,&quot; a new novel by Jeffrey Robinson that reads like a male version of Danielle Steel on steroids... a fun read about the depths of degradation residents go to in order to live in the Midtown building -- like a supermodel who suffers through bondage routines with a movie star and gets compensated with real estate and offshore bank accounts for dalliances with an Italian count and a Kuwaiti prince. Sounds like a TV series or film might be next.&quot;&lt;/b&gt; -- The New York Post

&lt;b&gt;&quot;Jeffrey Robinson&#039;s novel Trump Tower bares it all. Here is the drama of the Ultra Rich, the Ultra Powerful, and the Ultra Beautiful who call the most glamorous address in the country their home. I can’t wait to see it on television!&quot;&lt;/b&gt; -— Donald Trump

I must have missed the news that day.

I don&#039;t have time to accept unsubstantiated assertions &quot;dropping like autumn leaves&quot;.

Are you talking about Timmy and Barack standing up for the millions who lost their homes, retirement savings and jobs?

Or are we back on the &quot;it would have been worse&quot; assertion angle?

Was I supposed to remember those comments?
A bit of a double standard wouldn&#039;t you say?
(are you working on a reply to my comment on the serious issue of war crimes or was that a dodge?)

Anyway, it&#039;s too bad we can&#039;t find out what might have been.

The maintenance of the failed status quo with Too Big To Jail banks even bigger, economic inequality ever worsening, millions of Americans fleeced of their wealth, the weakest recovery from a recession on record, Republican obstructionism and the rise of Trump is what we got.

Thanks Timmy and Barack!!!

And thank you Liz for defending the idea it would have turned out worse by standing up for the little guys and gals instead of coddling the rich!!!

I&#039;m sure it would be a convincing argument if you made it.

It&#039;s safe to assume that with a less Wall Street dominated admin Obama wouldn&#039;t have been so easily able to abandon the progressive policies he claimed to support, and that Obamacare wouldn&#039;t have been such a corporatist sellout too... thus adding to that groundswell of support for Dems on the path not taken.

I implore you to push Hillary and other Dem enemies of the left hard to advance progressive causes and fight for the working class.
Lip service and broken promises &quot;makes a statement&quot; that is perfectly clear to average Americans and hurts the Democratic party all the way down-ticket.

With the upcoming census and redistricting, it&#039;s vital that Hillary abandon her corporatist and warmongering tendencies and rally the Dem party by stopping the blaming of the left for the dearth of enthusiasm their right wing polices create.

That truth gets lost in all the noise created by the jubilation from the Wall Street crooks, oil executives, defense contractors, lobbyists and other one percenters partying like it&#039;s 1999 because they know that both Hillary and Trump will maintain the corrupt status quo.

		<description>Stig [139]: Best laugh I&#039;ve had all day! Thank you.

Al [146]: 2010. Yeah, I remember. The left wasn&#039;t so specific before about why they stayed home that election. Some thought it was the way the Obamacare debate was handled, and the inability to get the Democrats (particularly Obama) to stand firm on the public option.

In any case, the result was a Tea Party landslide. This stopped the progressive agenda right in its tracks, as the House was lost to the GOP. Worse, state legislatures turned bright red at just the same moment that states were re-drawing their voting districts, and the result was a republican-gerrymandered map that led, for instance, to Democrats getting the majority of votes cast, and still losing elections in some states. Since gerrymandering affects local races the most, the group most adversely affected were left-leaning candidates, since in many districts the only path to victory for a Democrat was to move to the right.

So I implore you and your fellow travelers to keep in mind that a rising tide lifts all boats, and that the success of the progressive movement now relies in no small part on progressives themselves not inadvertently causing the election of their own worst enemies by &quot;making a statement&quot; that could quickly get lost in the noise of all the skinheads, nazis, klanners, seperatists, shysters, hucksters, oil executives, coal mine companies, and Russian oligarchs partying like its New Year&#039;s and St. Patrick&#039;s on the Fourth of July.</description>

&quot;I wonder what would have occurred if Obama had opted for an economic team far less removed from Wall Street, given the economic situation he was handed as he entered office in January 2009&quot;

Hundreds of bankers and hedge funders guilty of fraud would have been prosecuted and incarcerated, the guilty would not have been rewarded, several of the major financial institutions whose business models were reliant on fraud would have gone bankrupt and their valid and necessary functions would have been taken over by banking institutions who were not involved in the fraud, billions from the bailout would have allowed millions of Americans to refinance and avoid foreclosure and halted the economic collapse and massive job losses, and a massive groundswell of support for Obama the non-crony capitalist who enforces the rule of law would have prevented the Republican takeover of Congress and ensured an easy reelection victory and the passage of strict reregulation of Wall Street and the end of Too Big To Jail.

I&#039;m guessing you think differently?

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Next time, don&#039;t put replies to me in the same comment as replies to someone else ... it&#039;s confusing, especially when you just use my name for all of the replies ... :(&lt;/I&gt;

Normally, I don&#039;t for this exact reason..

My sincerest apologies....

		<description>Liz,

It STILL wasn&#039;t clear...

Liz,

&lt;I&gt;That&#039;s not an opinion, Kick. That is a fact and it began on January 20, 2009. It looks to continue for longer still.&lt;/I&gt;

No, Liz.  It IS an opinion..

OK, I&#039;m done for the night...   :D</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Are you talkin&#039; to me!?

You better revise your last comment ... and., fast!&lt;/I&gt;

Sorry, it wasn&#039;t clearer...   


Liz,

That&#039;s not an opinion, Kick. That is a fact and it began on January 20, 2009. It looks to continue for longer still.

No, it&#039;s an opinion..

Kick,

&lt;I&gt;Oh, please insult me personally some more.&lt;/I&gt;

Are you insulted by the fact that you attacked Trump supporters as &quot;a bunch of scared whiney imbeciles who are completely oblivious to how stupid they look to the rest of us.&quot; ????

If you are, then apologize for it..

&lt;I&gt;Oh, it&#039;s simply horrendous, a real tragedy. :D&lt;/I&gt;

I agree.. A man who has THAT kind of total contempt for black Americans and women?? I agree..

It IS horrendous...

&lt;I&gt;FBI Director James B. Comey notified key members of Congress Sunday afternoon that after reviewing all of the newly discovered Hillary Clinton emails the agency stands by its original findings against recommending charges.&lt;/I&gt;

Doesn&#039;t matter... It won&#039;t help Hillary&#039;s poll numbers or her chances of winning on Tuesday...

The vast majority of Americans are simply sick and tired of her shit and they aren&#039;t going to deal with it or her anymore....


Again, Liz, my apologies..  I should have been clearer...</description>
