    "Donald Trump is a phony, a fraud. His promises are as worthless as a degree from Trump University. ... playing the members of the American public for suckers. He gets a free ride to the White House. And all we get is a lousy hat." Mitt Romney
    global warming hoax? CM #17

    Lemme guess.
    You're NOT a scientist?
    You DON'T have advanced skills with science, engineering, or statistical analysis?

    No surprise there.

    Rather than believing what Rush Limbaugh tells you to believe, why don't you look at the data? Study the methodology of how it's collected, etc.
    "It should be obvious to anyone why conservatives and libertarians should be against Trump. He has no grounding in belief. No core philosophy. No morals. No loyalty. No curiosity. No empathy and no understanding. He demands personal loyalty and not loyalty to the nation. His only core belief is in his own superiority to everyone else. His only want is exercise more and more personal power." smb / purveyor of fact 18/03/18

    Education

    As has been true in recent Congresses, the vast majority of Members (94.1% of House Members and 100% of Senators) at the beginning of the 115th Congress hold bachelor’s degrees. Sixty percent of House Members and 76% of Senators hold educational degrees beyond a bachelor’s.

    The CQ Member Profiles at the beginning of the 115th Congress indicate the following: 

    18 Members of the House have no educational degree beyond a high school diploma; 
    eight Members of the House have associate’s degrees as their highest degrees; 

    100 Members of the House and 21 Senators earned a master’s degree as their highest attained degrees; 
    167 Members of the House (37.8% of the House) and 55 Senators (55% of the Senate) hold law degrees; 
    22 Representatives18 and 2 Senators have doctoral (Ph.D., D.Phil., Ed.D., or D. Min) degrees; and 
    18 Members of the House and 3 Senators have medical degrees.

    Which party are those 26 Congress folks a member of?

    I am smart enough to know that

    1) less than 3% of the seats, at best, will not make a difference;

    2) states representatives have nothing to do with federal policy;

    and

    3) of the 200, I would imagine some are conservatives as wealthy doctors tend to be.

    Now that I answered your question, answer mine: 200 STEM candidates in a field of 7K state races will affect Trump if they all should win how exactly?

    Look in the mirror, alarmist. You guys never link any science and you constantly attack the people who do.

    And you alarmist climate change nuts also reject science when it doesn't fit your religion. You guys spent the entire decade in the 2000s telling us that natural variations were modeled and the sun made no difference either, and it was ONLY CO2 that controlled the climate. You guys called us names when we posted fresh study after fresh study documenting the slowdown in the rate of warming (back to longterm interglacial rates) and then you ignored it when the IPCC recognized what we were talking about and named it the hiatus.

    You posers.
