Ya wanna know what's really funny, I mean really funny! What will democrats do if he wins in 2 years? I know, he has no chance---like you all said in 2016, right? 4 more years of wasted posting and zero control in changing anything except the words that you post on Letsrun 24 times a day!!!! LOL!!!!
Look at the women. Talk about bias.
Two things.
First--as several people, some of them apparently true-blue, have pointed out previously in this thread: Donald Trump probably has at least a 50% chance of being re-elected. That's the nature of the electoral college (and the electorate). I certainly have not read through all of this lengthy thread, but I don't think anyone has posted a *convincing* scenario for how DJT loses 35 electoral votes. I think he could lose that many; but I think there's at least as good a chance that he won't.
Second, Rigged's emphasis on people's reaction to the 2016 election results is really telling, and accurate IMO. The high point for many, many Trump voters was the distress of the Hillary voters--and this is why, in my experience, it's *Donald's* guys who continually hark back to 11/16. (I work with a wide variety of people who have a wide range of political leanings, and this conclusion is based on observing their interactions with others.)
Most of the Dems/libs/"progressives" whom I work with seem focused on the *current* enormities of the Trump administration and don't seem to be pining for Hillary at all--probably because, as many of them acknowledge, she was not a strong candidate. They certainly don't seem to be butt-hurt about Hill; they're pissed about Don.
No, the people who keep bringing up the '16 election are the GOPers I encounter, and the meanspiritedness of *some* of them is really striking. Despite their frequent exhortations of "she lost, he won, move on" . . . THEY seem to be the ones who can't do so. It's obvious that for some of the them the very best part of a Trump presidency is that it made people feel bad, more than a year and a half ago.
Really? We're in the middle third of this presidential term. As the president implements his political agenda, there's lots to talk about right now! If you can't focus on that, it tells me that *your* political agenda is primarily about seeing other people feel bad. What does that say about you?
EDIT: In re-reading this before posting it, I see that I may be misleading people. Just to be clear, I did NOT check the Democrat box in the 2016 election. Actually in forty years as a voter I have never checked that box.
