Have you ever noticed that Rigged for Hillary is a coward. When Trump has bad news you NEVER hear from him. If he thinks its good news he posts repetitively.

I sit back and laugh at the lib echo chamber because you hyperventilate every day. Whether it's "Mueller is coming, the clown is done, accusing others of using other handles, or muh Russia" - nothing but an endless circle jerk. I justl don't feel the need to post every day. I noticed that Eric "agip" Blair has taken a long break as well (unless he changed his handle again).

The economy is doing great, strong job growth, the stock market is fine, tax cuts haven't collapsed the country. You guys celebrate & spike the football with every anti-Trump news item from CNN. The Trump derangement is real. Carry on Iibtards.

You would sell your soul for strong job growth and a "fine" stock market? (both things were true under Obama)

Donald Trump is ill-prepared. He is a serial liar. He's a loose cannon that is a worse enemy for the GOP and the NRA than any current main stream Democrat. He's a sexist. He's a racist. He doesn't want to learn how the job is done. He needs pictures and a puppet show to have information fed to him. He doesn't take the advice of the few experts he has working in the White House. He has been sexually inappropriate (unwanted) with scores of women. He goes backstage to see them naked. He says if Ivanka weren't his daughter he would date her. He says he can't say that he respects women. He has ripped off just about everyone he has ever done business with. He is a criminal. He's an abhorrent human being. He's such a bad businessman that he can't get a loan from any US bank.

And, regardless of what you say...

Mueller is coming.

The clown is done.

A stable genius!

Trump makes fools of himself and his supporters!!!!

I didn't vote for him either, but it bothers me that people like you somehow skip the other things Barack Obama did before the presidency. It's about as honest as referring to Donald Trump as a slumlord--both men did other stuff before occupying the White House.

What did he teach about the Constitution? Why don’t we know? So he graduated at the top of his class? I had no idea his transcripts were released. Where are they? What were his legislative accomplishments before becoming President?

Obama was a community agitator. He was the least accomplished person to ever be President, and yes, he was an affirmative action President. No way a white guy with the same resume gets elected. No chance.

Good morning! How are all you LRC stable geniuses doing this fine am?

Anyone with Obama's oratorical gifts would have a good shot at the presidency. And that's a pretty good qualification for president. A very large part of the job is about public speaking and motivation.

We don't need to see Obama's transcript to know he graduated Magna. That is announced publicly by the school.

But if you want to compare resumes, look at George W Bush. Bush couldn't even get accepted at law school. Obama graduated Magna and became a law professor.

Bush was a failed businessman. All his investors lost their money. Then he used his Daddy's name to become governor of Texas. Texas has the "weak governor" system enacted by many southern states during reconstruction. It's about the 5th most powerful position in the Texas government. In Texas, even railroad commissioner has more power. So being governor didn't prepare him for the presidency.

Dubya was a famously bad public speaker. He totally failed at that part of the job.

Bush's overall ineptitude led to his ranking as one of the worst presidents in history.

But Bush pales in comparison to the godless Trump, who is not only unqualified for the job, he is corrupt to his very core.

Any intelligence you may have once had has been drowned out by your ideology.

Were you asleep during the fall of 2008? The economy was in freefall. What are the chances that the country is going to stick with the same party for a third successive presidential election? It doesn't usually happen in good times, never mind when the economy is collapsing.

Our current president is probably the least accomplished to ever hold the office. Don't believe me? Let's look at those tax returns he promised to release.

In fact, since the Civil War, there has only been one time that a political party won a third consecutive election (not counting instances where a vice president took over and then won reelection). That was the 1988 election.

Love Trump or hate him, this is what he has accomplished in less than 1.5 years as POTUS:

Neil Gorsuch on the Supreme Court

Stock Market reached an all-time high

Consumer confidence at 17-year high

More than 2 million jobs created

Mortgage applications for new homes rise to a 7-year high

Unemployment rate at 17-year low

Black unemployment at all-time low

Hispanic unemployment at all-time low

Signed the Promoting Women In Entrepreneurship Act

Gutted Obama-era regulations

Ended war on coal

Weakened Dodd-Frank regulations

Promoted buying and hiring American

Investment from major businesses (FoxConn, Toyota, Ford and others)

Reduced illegal immigration

Bids for Border Wall underway

Fighting back against sanctuary cities

Created Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement Office

Nearly annihilated ISIS

Worked to reduce F-35 cost

5-year lobbying ban

Sanctioned Iran over missile program

Responded to Syria's use of chemical weapons

Introduced tax reform plan

Renegotiating NAFTA

Withdrew from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP)

Removed The United States out of The Paris Accord

Created task force to reduce crime

DOJ targeting MS-13

Signed an Executive Order to promote energy independence and economic growth

Signed Executive Order to protect police officers

Signed Executive Order to target drug cartels

Signed Executive Order for religious freedom

Sending education back to The States

Fixing the Department of Veterans Affairs

SCOTUS upheld parts of President Trump's temporary travel ban Executive Order

Authorized the construction of The Keystone Pipeline

Created commission on opioid addiction

Combating human trafficking (both EO and action)

Rollback of Obama's Cuba policy

Food Stamp use lowest level in 7 years

Reduced White House payroll

Donating Presidential Salary

Executive Order on Obamacare subsidies

Successful trip to Asia

Signed trade deal with China

ISIS lost virtually all of its territory

Recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capital

Passage of Tax Reform Bill

Signed 130 bills into law

Made 136 Presidential Proclamations

Signed 64 Executive Orders

And now, brokering peace talks with North Korea

Democrats won the presidential election in 1932, 1936, 1940, 1944 and 1948.

That's 5 times in a row and after the Civil War.

And Gore made it awfully close to three in a row in 2000. (so that was three straight popular vote wins)

Democrat voters outnumber Republican voters in this country.

But they get lazy and content when they are in office and don't come out and vote to keep them in office.

Plus they have geography against them. They are concentrated in fewer states where Republcians are more spread out.

I was pretty shocked that Bush II was reelected in 2004.

I think a lot of voters didn't want to switch up while we were right in the heat the two wars he started.

And people somehow preferred him over Kerry, who actually served in the military, in battle and was wounded and lead battles and won honors.

Then you had Obama twice and a third straight popular vote win for Democrats again in 2016.

Democrats won the popular vote in 6 of the last 7 presidential elections.

What do the tax returns have to do with accomplishments? What is your point? Ronald Regan got the first Bush elected in 1988. All the Bush suck. The Democrats could not beat out the second Bush because they put Romney like candidates (very stiff white men) against him. Hillary is so hated that she will never be president. The sooner that Democrats realize that the better their chances.

Democrats will continue to win the popular vote for the foreseeable future. Why? Because major urban centers are all dependent upon social services. They have a high population of minorities, who tend to vote democrat because of the promise of "free stuff." They also have high populations of immigrants, who also vote left to get "free stuff." Then there are the city dwelling white liberals, who hate rugged individualistic Americans -- farmers, country folks, (legal) gun owners, the ones they called "rednecks" and "white trash."

Neil Gorsuch on the Supreme Court - That's not an accomplishment. Mitch McConnell bypassed the Constitution to steal that seat

Stock Market reached an all-time high - It was constantly reaching all time highs under Obama as well. But notice it has dropped since Trump made recent economic proposals.

More than 2 million jobs created - Continuing Obama's trend

Mortgage applications for new homes rise to a 7-year high - reminds me of 2006. (What happened after that again?)

Unemployment rate at 17-year low - Continues Obama trend

Gutted Obama-era regulations - Regulations put in to protect people, money and the envirionment

Ended war on coal - War?

Weakened Dodd-Frank regulations - Oh yeah. That's good. Make it easier for banks to gamble with our money

Promoted buying and hiring American - Promoting that is good. But watch out for government overreach that manipulates the market

Investment from major businesses (FoxConn, Toyota, Ford and others) - What did Trump do there?

Reduced illegal immigration - That went way down under Obama

Bids for Border Wall underway - That's just stupid

Fighting back against sanctuary cities - Sends resources away from looking for criminals to investigate house wives

Created Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement Office - sounds cool

Nearly annihilated ISIS - Any specifics on how anything changed there?

Worked to reduce F-35 cost - Why not just reduce the military budget?

5-year lobbying ban - People can't lobby now?

Sanctioned Iran over missile program - You mean enforced Obama's deal

Responded to Syria's use of chemical weapons - And how?

Introduced tax reform plan - Borrowed future taxpayer money to give payback gifts to wealthy donors

Renegotiating NAFTA - Another hit to the stock market

Withdrew from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) - mixed opinions there

Removed The United States out of The Paris Accord - Just awful and short sighted. But American businesses ignored Trump and said they would continue to respect the Accord

Created task force to reduce crime - OK. Sounds like something. Is it?

DOJ targeting MS-13 - Stay focused on them and leave the bus boys alone.

Signed an Executive Order to promote energy independence and economic growth - More solar would help

Signed Executive Order to protect police officers - Anything about protecting us from bad police officers?

Signed Executive Order to target drug cartels - Oh man. I guess we never targeted them before. Good idea

Signed Executive Order for religious freedom - Merry Christmas! Even if your Jewish you must say that.

Sending education back to The States - You mean providing less help to the states

Fixing the Department of Veterans Affairs - good luck with that. Seriously

SCOTUS upheld parts of President Trump's temporary travel ban Executive Order - That racists ban?

Authorized the construction of The Keystone Pipeline - And 210,000 gallons of oil leaked from in it November into South Dakota

Created commission on opioid addiction - Problem solved

Combating human trafficking (both EO and action) - Where is he going to get his Russian prostitutes from now?

Rollback of Obama's Cuba policy - He wants to put hotels in there and make Americans stay there

Food Stamp use lowest level in 7 years - because they use cards now

Reduced White House payroll - can't find people to work with him

Donating Presidential Salary - Didn't want the taxable income. Instead make side money from being in power that the tax people can't see as well

Executive Order on Obamacare subsidies - Didn't want to help poor people

Would not certify the Iran Nuclear Deal - Doesn't give Iran incentive to trust US deals and may antagonize them

Successful trip to Asia - Plane didn't crash

Signed trade deal with China - Continued many deals already in place

ISIS lost virtually all of its territory - you did that one already

Recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capital - went against the world on that one

Passage of Tax Reform Bill - Did that above

Signed 130 bills into law - is that good?

Made 136 Presidential Proclamations - Ok

Signed 64 Executive Orders - That was bad when Obama did it, right?

And now, brokering peace talks with North Korea - We'll see about that

The majority of the free stuff takers live in rural parts of red states. They get a Yuge amount of handouts in the form of subsidies.

FDR

You're right about FDR- I misspoke. He obviously won 4 elections, but I meant that a new candidate never won an election if their party was previously in power and they themselves were not the incumbent during the election.

What's the criteria again? Republicans held the presidency between 1869 and 1885 with 4 different persons (although Garfield died in office after a year so really just 3 persons). They did it again with McKinley-Teddy Roosevelt-Taft and then Harding-Coolidge-Hoover. That's just for post Civil War

My point was that political parties rarely win the presidential election more than twice in a row, but the specific criteria I was using had so many caveats (because of so many presidential deaths) that my point is practically useless.

Agreed on that last point.
