Many Trump supporters are African Americans, what an ignorant statement on your part.

Shut up, you ignorant a$$. Acquittal was a given because of the extremely biased jury in this case. He did the things he was accused of, and you, even as dumb as you are, know that. O.J. Simpson was found not guilty. I guess you believe that one? Actually don't answer. I couldn't care less what someone as stupid as you thinks about anything.
You have so much anger. Why so much anger? I never did anything to you, yet you have so much anger to me. Even so, I don't have any anger to you. In fact, I love you and hope you have a wonderful weekend. God bless you and I love you.
Trump is living rent free in their heads, sad.

Stop getting your news from state run tv. I know a sh*t load of black people. I’m a product of an HBCU. I know black doctors, lawyers, engineers, nurses, accountants, blue collar workers....and to say MANY Trump supporters are Black is an overstatement to say the least. The numbers are very low. If you believe that 30% number some people are throwing out there I have a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn. The small number of Larry Elder, Clarence Thomas, Ben Carson type of Uncle Toms would side with the police too in the Rodney King beating.

Trump was acquitted.
Here is acquittal defined ...
a judgment that a person is not guilty of the crime with which the person has been charged
Can we finally let Trump preside over the country without crapp trying to encumber him? The dude was acquitted - EXONERATED - let the dude run the country!
Exonerated? Trump was acquitted by a bunch of craven Republican senators who checked their principles and their conscience out at the door, having made their minds up to acquit before the trial - in breach of their sworn oath as jurors - and refusing to hear evidence that would condemn Trump. If that was the trial of a mobster then Capone would be running the country. Oh, wait ...
Now Trump says he has the legal right to intervene in any court case if he wishes. That's the green light his Senate "acquittal" has given him. I'm not American but when an "elected" leader (thanks to Russia and gerrymandering) like Trump says he can disregard the rule of law you can start performing the last rites on your democracy. As Putin and so many other autocrats have shown, elections are not by themselves a bulwark against tyranny.

it's not just turnout or seats gained - it's margin.
although as always, dems cluster in the cities so the effect is muddled.
But 2018 was NOT just another midterms. It just wasn't.
"Democrats took control of the House this year with the largest midterms margin of victory in history, surpassing the previous record of 8.7 million votes in 1974, according to NBC News election data.
By the numbers: Democratic House candidates currently have an 8,805,130 vote lead over Republicans, gaining 53.1% of the more than 111 million votes cast nationwide compared to the GOP's 45.2%, according to the data. The House flipped 41 seats during the 2018 election cycle, and could flip another if California Democratic candidate T.J. Cox, who has overtaken Republican incumbent David Valadao, ultimately wins the state's 21st district."

Only interested in sound logic, accurate facts and truth in general. So, I probably will not bother responding to your response - get's boring quickly.
Let's not blow this out of proportion here (although I appreciate the rest of the post; well done with the numbers). This is just part of the conversation.
Charges against McCabe dropped. Just another big prediction that Rigged got wrong. Now Barr is showing signs of disgust with Trump too. Trump was impeached, McCabe is not going to face any punishment, and there will be no 'Barr Tab' that Rigged said again and again. Loser.
I know some here think Sally is the dumbest poster here, and it is a close race, but Rigged wins that, and man, that's saying something, because Sally is a dolt.

WTF... this kind of thinking takes some convoluted brainwashing and logic twist. OJ had it written on his forehead since the beginning and everything detail fit the crime. They fkn caught him fleeing with a fake mustache and a bag of money.... holy fk. It was so obvious that the defense used it to cast doubt on the culpability.
Because he was running doesn’t mean he was guilty. I don’t know how old you are but I watched the trial in real time on court tv. You sound like you just read about it years later. I’m done.....it’s old news. Let’s agree to disagree.
I watched it as well and do not share any of your doubts. We all watched his defense twist the plot and deflect, and by pointing a few weak holes in the case they got him off the hook. The murder weapon was inadmissible in court because it was discussed on TV. The evidence and intent basically ruled other possibilities.. he was guilty and his defense team was well aware. Had it been some no name Joe he would have gotten life with half the evidence. OJ was a known lunatic with a past full of aggression. Please do share your theory though as I would love a weekend laugh.

They are both village idiots. Rigged is the bigger a$$hole of the two but just by a hair. Sally is persistently moronic mixed with poor trolling. Rigged is a simpleton tzee zombie.

I think it's an important topic...because it shows the Dems won with a solid 'go to the reasonable center' philosophy. The Dems won 41 seats and had by some measures the best midterms ever for the dems.
THEN
The Dems decide to reverse that plan and slam to the unreasonable left in a presidential candidate.
It's not a good plan.
I'm sure this won't keep a hip and others from arguing that Sanders is only winning because moderates are spkitting the votes. He may not win, but there is very little evidence that voters coalesce in ideological lanes. If people don't want Sanders, they should vote for Warren

Actually, you need to take into account the Republicans who signed up as Democrats for the sole purpose of getting either Sanders or Buttiege on the ballot.

I am clearly not resolved on the 'people don't vote on policy decisions' vs. 'dems are not embracing socialism and Sanders is only winning by a split moderate vote.'
this is all mushy and I don't know all the factors.
BUT
I think a lot of potential dem voters, esp the people the Dems need most, women in the suburbs, are going to get a chockload of ads from Rs that will change their vote back to R after voting D in the primaries.
Ending private health insurance
raising taxes
banning fracking
green new deal
praise of USSR and Castro
encouraging loathing of wealthy people
these things are going to hurt D support of sanders.
BUT NO ONE IS SAYING THEM YET. NO ONE IS CAMPAIGNING WITH 1/10TH THE FEROCITY THAT THE RS WILL.
So any support of Sanders has to be viewed as unproven. No one is calling out his socialism yet. They will, and it will hurt him badly.
ack, I meant midterms. R attack ads will turn a lot of suburban women back the Rs after they voted D in the midterms. Not the primaries.
Why is Trump so weak?
Why is he NOT putting Americans first?

No worries. I'm not sure people are reading through your posts anyway. Your formatting (or lack of) is killing your points. Clean it up and people may be able to read you posts and take them seriously.

Incorrect. I never predicted a McCabe indictment. Barr has not completed his investigation.

Oh wait these are black politicians. Never mind.
Rep. Gregory Meeks, who is chairman of the Queens County Democratic Party, joined two other members of the Congressional Black Caucus to officially endorse Bloomberg. Another black elected official from New York came out in support on Thursday as well: Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren. Outside of his home state, Bloomberg has racked up endorsements from black elected officials, including Mayors Michael Nutter of Philadelphia, London Breed of San Francisco and Michael Tubbs of Stockton, California, and Rep. Bobby Rush of Illinois, who is a former Black Panther.
Little Mikey quotes:
“If women wanted to be appreciated for their brains, they’d go to the library instead of to Bloomingdale’s"
On learning that a co-worker was pregnant, according to a 1997 sexual harassment lawsuit:
“Kill it!”
On what he wants in life, according to the same lawsuit:
“I would like nothing more in life than to have Sharon Stone sit on my face.”
On de Blasio’s use of his African American family in campaign ads:
“Racist.”
On criticism of stop and frisk (2013):
“I think we disproportionately stop whites too much and minorities too little.”
