[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really hope these are all bored housewives' postings. The more of this thread that came from professional Democrats, the more likely it is that Trump will repeat.

There's precious little learned from 2016 here.[/quote]

So dazzle us with your prognostications, then.[/quote]

I worked in an area in MD that helped put Trump in office.  He's still popular.  And while that area is not Middle America, it's still a good reflection.

I think the Ds (I'm former D, current Ind.) believe Ocasio-Cortez is the new wave in politics, but she's really a dingbat with a big mouth ($21T deal . . . ).  If you want moderation at this point, you don't find the "Trump Extreme."

The more liberals wag their tongues in horror over the latest Trump incident, the stronger his base becomes.  And many are quiet . . . just sitting back, listening in quiet anger.

But you all STILL don't get it.[/quote]

With all due respect:

What Trump lovers don't seem to get is that the base isn't big enough to elect him. He needs folks outside of his rabid base to win.

Look, much as I hate him - and I HATE HIM - he might win again! Incumbents have a huge advantage, who knows if Democrats will get our sh*t together enough to win next time, yadda yadda yadda.

But the base isn't big enough to take it. And Trump has done jack sh*t to bring in supporters outside of his base. The next election will be partly about bringing out the base, and then largely about suburban voters. The midterms suggest that Trump hasn't really won over those voters. Again, we will have to see.

And as I said in the thread in which someone was asking why liberals are obsessed with Lena Dunham: you've got it wrong. Liberals aren't obsessed with AOC, just like we're not with Lena Dunham. Conservatives are obsessed with her.
