Your post couldn't be more naive. Beto was a political novice and nearly won that seat in Texas, which is far more conservative than America as a whole. And that was vs Cruz who's quite popular here!

2020 is a whole different kennel of fish. Everyone in America knows Beto now and most have a favorable opinion of him. Also, take into consideration the 47% of Americans who will vote Democratic irregardless of other circumstances. That explains how Hillary, probably the weakest nominee since Dukakis in 1988, could end up with nearly 3 million votes more than Trump.

Can be said about every single word out of your mouth.

Case and point.

If most people had a favorable opinion of him, why did he lose?

Barely 60% of Americans vote in presidential elections. Are you saying that the dems will have 47% of the turnout? If so, oh dear.

And the team with the most yards wins the football game.

Oh....

The Castro twin just announced LIVE on TV from San Antonio. He finally learned some Spanish and his speech mirrored Obama's "pass the baton" speech. Castro and O'Dork will cancel each other out. Remember all 20 something of them will get real ugly as per the norm in a primary.

Every one of them will be for the stale progressive policies of the democrats and won't be able to fool the working class. No Independents or working class will trust Obama's baton passing mantra of BS change.

Unless HRC throws in, then they will all be made to quit; or their family members go jogging get robbed and their Rolex isn't missing, or they get blackmailed.

He probably referring to Americans in general, not just Texans. And you can still admire the qualities of somebody and vote against them. Most Texans didn't vote for Beto simply because he is a Democrat and they lean Republican. The same thing happens in Blue states vice versa.

We already know that most of the counties Trump won were already low population centers. That isn't to say they don't matter, they always have. What I dislike is the assertion that these low population states are better than their more populous counterparts. Low population centers are usually the result of a stagnant economy (few businesses, less population).

I will never argue that the 2016 Election was not fair. The electoral college was designed to give the victory to low population states if enough of them voted in tandem. It is what it is. But the truth is that Trump could lose the 2020 election over 3 states (Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania). I wont use the land argument, but I Trump won by much closer margin than conservatives will admit.

I tried having a .gif for my avatar a while back and the mods said it was a no-no.

Hopefully you get to keep yours, and we can start some awesome animated avatars here on TD. I have some good ones saved up

Ah yes, tarzana - more kooky than anything the farthest right could ever offer. You make Alex Jones look like nostradamus by comparison.

Rut-roh.


I'm hardly ever the exception to the rule here. Not in a good way, that is.

I wonder if they will

1-throw in MO or Oprah/Bloomie when all these look like they are failing;

2-or if they will cont..their elitist bubble and think they are sure to win and get fireworks; because the MSM says they will win for sures?

Oprah has a lot of skeletons in her closet, and rumor has it that Michelle has a choc-cycle in her pants.


Which reminds me. Joan Rivers just might've been right about all of it.

Orourke/Gabbard will most likely be the ticket.

I don't think they're stupid enough to run Gabbard/Harris. 2 women don't have a shot in hell.

Michelle Obama has been given a total pass from the media. Even moreso than her anti-American race-baiting hubby, if that's possible.

If MO throws her jockstrap in the ring, I know of at least one person who won't cave to the pressure of political correctness and refuse to go after her. I'm talking about the Notorious OMB, of course.
