re: Honest question: what the hell is the GOP going to run on next year?

quote:

Ideas like this one right here are what Republicans are up against. No sane person would vote for someone who espouses that crap

And yet, Roy Moore is the nominee for Alabama Senate and I'm guessing you're not calling everyone who votes for him insane.

These are very valid points, so I don't get the downvotes. I still expect Republican victories, but I hope many of them are new. The positives mentioned - stock market, jobs, etc. - are mostly due to Trump's reversal of much of Obama's crap and rolling back regulations. It's not like many Congressmen can tout these as their own achievements.

quote:

They are going to have paltry few legislative successes, if any, so they won't be running on their record.

1- You are going to see many of the GOPE primaried. In fact, many have already been.....

2- From that point, It's really simple.... Those candidates will simply run on voting with Trump

Muh executive overreach

Executive orders by president:

DJT (10 months) = 52

Barry (8 years) = 276

And for context:

Reagan - 381

GWB - 291

but GDP is lucky to grow 3% YoY

---

GDP has grown yearly by 3% or more in 6 of the last 20 years.

It's not some anomaly.

But continue to think your party isn't full of racist people if that makes you happy.

Do you have a study for this?

You know this is intellectually dishonest. Not all EOs are created equal. An EO that designates a holiday is not the same as an EO that provides amnesty

So, less than half? almost 25%? I don't think you'd like those numbers if they were OSU's 3rd down conversion rate over the last 20 games.

The unemployment argument is so fricking hilarious.

quote:

---

Lowest unemployment in 17 years and the highest stock market in history.

And by that time, the GDP may be growing over 4% per quarter.

Isn't it amazing how Bill Clinton won an election based on Carville's "It's the economy, Stupid", meaning it all was about the economy. Now the economy is never even mentioned. It is more like "It's the identity, Stupid" these days. So fricked up.
