I have no idea who you are talking about. I have been GOI for about twelve years.
Sorry to spoil your delusion. There seems to be more than one of you.

Two questions that we should all be asking are, "Why do ALL national level politicians suck?" and "Is there any way to improve this situation?"
Q1: "Why do ALL national level politicians suck?"
A: I see two major problems: (1) hyper-partisanship and (2)influence of special interest money.
Q2: "Is there any way to improve this situation?"
A: to weaken hyper-partisanship, I have two suggestions.
(1) Let non-partisan commissions redraw Congressional districts instead of state legislatures.
(2) Replace the current primary with "blanket" primaries. (All candidates compete in the same primary. The top two advance to the general election.)
To weaken the special interest money influence, I also have two suggestions.
(3) Eliminate all tax deductions and exemptions other than standard deduction, dependent exemption and charitable contribution. (1040EZ + charity.) If that does not work, I will settle for the "Romney plan" (across the board cap for the total deduction.)
(4) Serious campaign finance reform that includes repeal of Citizens United.
I don't think any of them is likely (but you didn't ask that) and I don't think they will "solve" the problem. (You didn't ask that, either.)
Now all the smart posters on this thread can bash my proposals.

He actually isn't Lying Gary. He is officially Lying Gary Lite.
Lying Gary continues to post on this thread using unregistered handles as well as 'Black Rifles Matter'. But Lying Gary Lite is a different individual who, like the original Lying Gary, has no interest in truth and appears to spend his time sucking on Trump's balls. These guys are the real face of the Trumpette movement.

I will be proper and not say what part of the anatomy you are licking on Diane Feinstein.
I like the idea of blanket primaries.
Maybe even more than one primary.
Have one prelim with any number of candidates and the top 4 go the next primary.
Then vote again and the top two, regardless of political party go to the November general election.
Then no one runs to their base and then to the middle.
Each step would be to campaign to appeal to the most people.
And everyone gets a say as to who the final two are, instead of two different groups of people choosing the final two.

You forgot that he lives inside Trump’s anus, only peeking out to suck on his balls.

Bruhs,
I listened to the hearings in their entirety yesterday. My thoughts...Kav is a classic example of a totally douche, Uber privilege frat boy-type with a penchant for boozing and sexual aggression in his younger years. Since having children—specifically two daughters—he has realized how disgusting his behavior as a boy and young man was. In his current position he cannot bring himself to face his demons and so—the result—is his over the top angry performance yesterday when his past behavior threatens all his substantial accomplishments to date.
There was an opportunity here to make a cultural shift by making him example to all boys and men that if you treat women like $hit and act like a depraved A-hole—even if that was a long time ago that it matters not how much you’ve accomplished you will be held accountable. That would’ve been a good thing and shown that we have made progress as a society since 1991.
Instead, bruhs, this is what is going to happen. He will be confirmed to the SCOTUS—some Dems will even vote for him. In the midterms, the Dems will take the House but will lose 1-3 seats in the Senate (they will win some upsets but some Dem incumbents will lose so the net change will be in the GOPs favor). RBG will die in the next 2 years and Trump will get another SCOTUS appointment before 2020. Unless something major, like a big war occurs, Trump will lose reelection in 2020 AND the Senate will go back to the Dems in 2020 as well.
The Dems will then spend the next 4-8 years trying to reverse everything the GOP has done under Trump and the cycle—and downward death spiral of a once great nation will continue.
1. BK is not getting confirmed without an investigation by the FBI that the ABA is suggesting.
2. The Dems stood to lose a couple seats in the Senate anyway just based on who was up for re-election. No one with a realistic sense of the political map thought otherwise.
3. RGB won’t die before she turns 90. She will serve 5 more years and retire at 90. If she does die it will have to be within the next year. Anytime within the 365 days before the 2020 election will fall in that made up window McConnell used to screw Obama out of a pick and thus fall to whoever wins in 2020. Either way...RBG will be replaced by a Democrat president, this maintaining the SCOTUS status quo.
4. The Dems can’t stall for 2 more years. Trump will get someone through. Not the one he and the conservative think tanks wanted....but a compromise.
5. Dems take control of the house in 2018, win the presidency in 2020 and takes control of the Senate. McConnell does the unthinkable and LOSES in Kentucky. GOP swing back in 2024 to either take back the House or close the gap. Senate continues to flip flop with no side having more than 51-52 seats.
It’s a cycle man.
Alan
Both of you have good points. I agree with the bruh-guy in regards to Kavanaugh though. He will be confirmed. I also agree the Dems will not take control of the Senate in the 2018 elections. Trump will be POTUS through AT LEAST 2020. I am not writing him off in 2020 though. As much as it makes me want to vomit—I believe Trump could win re-election in 2020.
And where does he live? wrote:

Yep, like Hillary with other women and Bill with dozens who feared for their lives. You weren't b*tching then and they had solid proof on both of them. Take that you rape apologist left wing pieces of sh*t.

Bro, I agree with the bruh wrote:

I share the sentiment and the presentiment. Incumbency is a mighty weapon in the election arsenal. And no one has yet shown me convincingly how Trump loses 35 (? I think) electoral votes.
In any case, I think getting rid of the GOP majority in the Senate would be the more useful outcome in 2020.

He loses WI, MI, and PA.
The tariffs are a bad sell in these states.
He won these states on razor thin margins.
Simply due to changing demographics alone if he wins 46% of the popular vote he won’t win the electoral.
I understand how historically speaking he “should” win, but his entire campaign and presidency has defied historical conventions.

I think the Democratic Party really wants O’Rourke to be their next Obama or maybe a cross between Clinton and Obama just replace pot smoking and playing the sax with pot smoking and skateboarding.
Just seems forced. We will see.

Boy, you people need to freshen up on your economics and how it relates to politics.
It's unbelievable how the economic elites (from both parties) in this country are so easily able to brainwash the masses. Historically, the Left was the party of the middle class, the blue collar, the blue dog Dems, etc. They worked in industries that were destroyed by outsourcing, cheap foreign labor, etc. NAFTA killed the rust belt. BAD.
So tariffs, which are intended to even the playing field FOR domestic workers, is NOT a hard sell in these states. That is a false statement. Trump trashes NAFTA constantly, and the Rust Belters love him for it.
If Barack Obama were saying "we're going to apply tariffs to support our manufacturing industries, the Libs/MSM would have been roaring behind it saying he's such a champion of the middle class. But it's Trump, so, you know..... TDS prevails.

Regardless of the potential long term affects of higher tariffs, the short term affects are higher prices for certain goods. The long term affects are also a little questionable. I under the theory....bring more manufacturing jobs back to the US. The problem with this is that we already have a sub 4% unemployment AND it almost ALWAYS costs more to make stuff in the US. Also China isn’t blinking and US Farmers are hurting because of this.
So again explain how this is a benefit?
