Official LRC President Donald J Trump Thread

Interesting data piece. It examines data on a finer grain than before about the 2016 election.

I have been thinking that the loss was because blacks and hispanics didn't show up to vote in 2016. But this analysis of FL NC PA suggests that is incorrect - that the loss was because white working class people switched to Trump from Obama.

I am not able to analyze the piece, and they don't consider vital states MI and WI, but interesting anyway. Just three states considered.

So just one piece of the puzzle. But interesting that white people did this to us. Sort of glad it was a self-inflicted wound rather than a cross-racial thing.

That was the story in several states. There were many pieces - another was Bernie supporters voting for Trump. Presumably they liked and viewed Bernie as an outsider and were further angered at the establishment when it was revealed the DNC threw him under the bus, so they revenge-voted. I'm sure she also hurt from a reduced minority vote, which Obama received with ease.

but this lovely piece of human weakness - that people misremember or misreport who they voted for. I think they usually change their memories to saying they voted for the winner. That happened here too - a large amount of people said they voted for Obama when they didn't. It's almost charming.

"The survey data isn’t perfect. It relies on voters’ accurate recall of their 2012 vote, and that type of recall is often biased toward the winner. Indeed, the C.C.E.S. found that Mr. Obama had 54 percent of support among 2012 voters, compared with his actual 51 percent finish."

There is no good enough excuse for voting for Trump. You only voted for him if you agreed with what he could potentially deliver. You have to own it. Saying that Hillary was crooked or that he's an outsider is BS. You knew what he was about and had an idea of the kind of results he would bring. There is no excuse. Even here in Manhattan, close to 89% went to Hillary. It's still shocking to me that he received 11%, or about 59k votes. Anyone experiencing buyer's remorse need only look at the mirror and point.

1. Clearly many millions voted for him strictly to watch the feathers fly. Not out of any concrete policy goals. So in that sense Trump has delivered 100%.

2. You say there was reduced minority turnout - this study pretty much says that minority turnout was not a deciding factor. Apparently the main thing was working class white people. (In between meth hits) They love Trump.

these right wingers do love to talk gay

Trump found his calling after being consistently shut out of Manhattan's high society. He was always a misfit and wanted to be accepted by the rich and famous more than anything else. This explains his egomania. My old boss had great stories.. one of my favorites is when Trump would roll up to the golf course. His driver would come out first and announce that Mr Trump was there to play gold and welcomed anyone to play with him. He never got a hit, no one wanted to play with him. Could you imagine listening to him for more than 2 holes? That led to all this ultimately. White trash salivate over him because they see him as one of them. After all, he talks, thinks and behaves like them. I'm sure he also loves corndogs. So really the ONLY difference between Trump and the average mullet bearer is that he has money. He is white trash.

Yezzzz we cucks do ;)

Except that Clinton got 2.9 million votes more than Trump. If it were not for the stupid electoral college and voter suppression, the GOP would be singing a different tune right now. Not that I think Clinton would have been such a great POTUS, but she is not a fascist.

Trump still losing in new ways every day.

this guy is embarrassing, no? Now he can't even build is big beautiful wall.

Republicans shouldn't be too happy about this one. It will ultimately be clearer that this was not a win for the GOP. The party has been facing a growing identity crisis. It all seemed to culminate with Trump's nomination win. Roll the tape back and all you heard was how butt hurt the GOP was and that Trump essentially highjacked it. Leadership was missing and there was no central message. The Freedom Caucus had taken permanent footprint and had only exacerbated the GOP's problems. The GOP has half heartedly welcomed Trump as the savior, but in reality he is a very frail bandage. Look at this first debacle with Trumpcare. It is only the beginning. Trump will prop them up (they can point the finger when push comes to shove) for the next 4 years, but their internal issues are only worsening. The party is crawling with dissenters, racists, and above-the-law and morally corrupt politicians. Who is the leader? No one knows, it is a $hit show. Trump's presence is not only delaying the inevitable, it will make the fall that much worse. Can't wait.

Bump to the TOP.

CLICK IT.

Nothing liberals say, and I mean nothing, means anything. they don't even accept their own demise. it's coming fast, and these leftists are in complete and utter denial. What we now see here and in many places represents the last dying breath. The media kinda shot its agenda by going too hard too fast. they made a full-court press too early. it's all over for leftists. it really is all over. trump supporters are starting to really fight back. Trump has the military on his side. liberals are too weak for civil war. they would be CRUSHED

Huh?

Well, now the House has also voted to let ISPs sell your browsing history. The only thing that can save your privacy is a presidential veto. Anyone want to take bets on what Trump will do?

https://techcrunch.com/2017/03/28/house-vote-sj-34-isp-regulations-fcc/

That would actually be funny if Trump vetoed a bill passed solely by Republicans.

He's a mad man.

Remember when he tweeted disapproval that the Republicans were voting to remove the office of ethics in January?

Then they reversed their vote.
