Attorney General Named!

trump has said he would like it left to the states. so hopefully he keeps sessions busy with immigration. Either way, I'm considering growing my very own legal plant while I want for taxachusetts to drag their heels on giving me weed walmarts.

Hell yes.
If you need some clones to get started let me know.
 
They are trying to cling to any shred of dignity that they have left

They can't bring themselves to admit that this guy who they think is a clown beat the broad they thought was imminently qualified. Their entire world view has been turned upside down.

So they desperately cling to this popular vote trope in an effort to soothe their hurt feelings

She is eminently qualified dumbass.
 
one piece of general info i should mention though. The more the left critizise one of trumps appointments the more his fans like him. Take sessions for instance. A lot of things will be brought up but trumplicans only see one thing. Strong on illegal immigration and nationalist. Same with bannon. for flynn and cia guy its nationalist + anti muslim. In fact the least popular amongst us (talking about trumplicans here) is preibus. Let me just qualify that by saying we do accept and like him but the reaction is eh he did a good job in the general he can be on the team. If you really wanted to make trumplicans reject the next pick your horrified of run all positive ads on him lol.
 
I don't disagree on that, but within the context of this thread, we were specifically talking about style points and the concept of what makes a landslide.

And beyond that, there is always discussion about what constitutes a mandate, and what doesn't. And that judgment goes beyond the basics of the win/loss in the electoral college. I don't see how anyone can argue mandate when more people voted for the other side.

And beyond that, a 'mandate' is meaningless if an elected president can't achieve their agenda. If Trump and congress achieve the agenda, we'll know there was a mandate.
 
Even a GOP-led Senate admitted it.

"...he first emerged on the national political stage in the 1980s, when President Ronald Reagan appointed him as a federal judge and the same committee, including Republican senators, rejected him for being too racist. She continued:“The young lawyer became only the second man in 50 years to be rejected by the Senate judiciary committee,” Wildman wrote. “The reasons for his rejection… had to do with a soupy mix of dubious and arguably racist moves, comments and motivations on the part of the Alabama native that led Senator Ted Kennedy to announce it was 'inconceivable … that a person of this attitude is qualified to be a U.S. Attorney, let alone a United States federal judge.'

Long ago, I learned to be suspicious of vacuous charges of racism from the left. Do you have any point blank evidence of racism with Sessions?

Like something that would stand up in court if it were a trial?

Thanks for the info.

Frankly, I don't give a shit about his "fans."
 
it's like losing the world series 0-4 but claiming that each team had almost the same amount of runs spread out over four games. That is not the metric by which we measure elections. It's an entirely different game. For example, many republicans might stay home in new york or california given they know those states are 99% clinton. But if we actually had a popular vote election many more republicans could have turned out in those states and clintons margin wouldn't be what it is currently. We really don't know what the turnout would be in a popular vote election because it would completely change the dynamics and dump the election on its head. It's almost a meaningless question.

So yes, if you are playing "the popular vote" game, then sure, not a landslide. But that's not the game we are playing, it isn't the game clinton was playing or trump was playing, no matter how much liberals want to believe it. And I can assure you, clinton isn't sitting at home watching netflix right now saying to herself "well... at least I won the popular vote"... no... she is feeling like the complete and utter loser she is. A disaster. She lost to the pussy grabber. She had almost unprecedented support and advantages and she fucked it all up.

Trump flipped multiple blue states red that haven't been red for 20 years. He had a superior strategy that paid off. In the game of electoral college (which is what the candidates actually play), clinton got blown the fuck out.

Michael phelps beat his competition by only fractions of a second. Maybe you think they are all fine swimmers, but in the olympics that's not good enough. Phelps is the one that is the champ with all the medals around his neck.

So we can keep talking theoretical as republicans keep getting more house seats and governorships and supreme court picks. We can talk theory all we want, but at the end of the day, republicans are winning handily.

Blah blah blah blah
 
not really

lets say games are 4-3, 5-4, 1-0, 10-9

the post-series talk isn't going to be how it was a close series. It's going to be how one team got destroyed and swept 4-0.

Popular vote is only good for bragging rights. That's literally it. When it comes to power and implementing your will, it's pennies.

Blah blah blah
