    If you look at those at the top in the race for the nomination, each is trying to out socialize the other.

    Some Democrats fear fallout from Sanders atop the ticket


    DENVER (AP)
    — The resurgence of Sen. Bernie Sanders in the presidential nominating process is triggering alarm in the Democratic Party, with many warning that a ticket headed by the self-declared socialist could be devastating to the party's chances of winning the Senate and holding the House in November.

    In anxious huddles, apprehensive Democrats are sharing their worries that Sanders' socialist label and unyielding embrace of controversial proposals like “"Medicare for Al”" and the Green New Deal will repel voters in the affluent, moderate districts that flipped control of the House in 2018 and in closely divided states where Republican senators are vulnerable.

    The Vermont independent narrowly won New Hampshire Tuesday on the heels of a strong showing in Iowa and is widely seen as a front-runner, along with former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg.

    “I'm a proud capitalist,” said freshman Rep. Ben McAdams, D-Utah, in pointed contrast with Sanders. McAdams, who is supporting former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and whose Salt Lake City district will be among the toughest for Democrats to defend, said having a liberal like Sanders atop his party's ticket “would probably give me more opportunities to show my independence” from the party.



    ~ Rep. Dina Titus, D-Nev., who backs the candidacy of former Vice President Joe Biden, warned a group of Democratic voters this week in Carson City, Nevada, that with Sanders atop the ticket, “you're not going to take back the Senate. There's not any way, because everybody's going to be tarred with the same brush. We will probably lose seats in the House.”

    Yes, well that’s like pointing out that some Republicans can read. That’s like being afraid that Cincinnati might win a Super Bowl next year. It’s not going to happen.

    We know why uneducated working class people vote Republican in direct opposition to their own economic best interests.
    Knowing that they need votes from these ignorant lowlifes, the Republicans pander to their racism, their xenophobia, their religious bigotry, their misogyny, and their anti-intellectualism.

    There isn't a single right wing nutjob on this forum who could manage a decent SAT score if his/her life depended on it. Just read their posts. It's almost impossible to find a single grammatically correct simple declarative sentence from any one of them. They're functionally illiterate. What else could they be? What person with any intellect at all would sodomize him/herself in the polling booth the way these pathetic morons do every election cycle?

    The sobering part is that there are so many of them. How does one nation get burdened with so many vile, despicable troglodytes willing to screw themselves economically in order to get a pat on the head for their racism and other depraved qualities?

    The kind thing would be to feel sorry for them, but they've caused so much damage to our republic that my instinct is to loathe them instead...and loathe them I do.

    So let's not wallow in any more bullshit about bringing people together. We will never be together. Their very existence makes us sick.
    We need not try to change minds where no minds exist but rather to beat them. Get to the polls and beat them down. And then we must keep them down so that they never rise again.

    I'm not opposed to a Stalinesque purge although it would have to be far bigger than anything Stalin ever did. Just the same, I'm open to any other idea they will get these despicable monsters out of polite society once and for all. Maybe we can simply sterilize them so that they won't procreate more monsters. Maybe we can relocate them to Antarctica. The only thing I know for sure is that we have to do something...and do it now.


    WRONG. AMERICANS KNOW THAT THINGS ARE JUST PEACHY....




    New High of 90% of Americans Satisfied With Personal Life


    •Americans' satisfaction with personal life highest in four-decade trend

    •Two in three Americans say they are very satisfied, also a new high

    •High-income households, Republicans, married adults the most satisfied



    WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Nine in 10 Americans are satisfied with the way things are going in their personal life, a new high in Gallup's four-decade trend. The latest figure bests the previous high of 88% recorded in 2003.






    These results are from Gallup's Mood of the Nation poll, conducted Jan. 2-15, which also recorded a 20-year high in Americans' confidence in the U.S. economy.
    The percentage of Americans who report being satisfied with their personal life is similar to the 86% who said in December that they were very or fairly happy -- though the happiness figure, while high, is on the low end of what Gallup has measured historically for that question.

    Despite some variation, solid majorities of Americans have reported being satisfied with their personal life over the past few decades, with an average of 83% satisfied since 1979. The historical low of 73% was recorded in July 1979, as the effects of that year's oil crisis took a toll on U.S. motorists. During that poll's fielding dates, then-President Jimmy Carter delivered his "malaise speech," which was interpreted by some as placing blame on Americans themselves for the rough economic spot the country was in.

    A 2019 survey on 10 aspects of Americans' lives found that they are most satisfied with their family life, their education and the way they spend their leisure time -- and least satisfied with the amount of leisure time they have, their household income and their job.

    The Trump supporters will fail. The need to replace Trump with someone who loves America and will follow checks and balances and the separation of powers overwhelms almost any other issue.
    Russian trolls and their supporters go on Ignore, automatically: no second chance.
