Re: 2016 Election

Here's one of the few examples when Trump made a good investment. To be fair though even an idiot like Trump knows politicians are always a good investment.

It is nice that the law and order candidate has spent the day campaigning with a convicted murderer.

Of course it won't be enough for a supermajority which is what is needed these days. Oh and if you look at the Senate map for 2018, it doesn't look good for Democrats.

Senate map in 2018?
I'm worried about the *world* map - should Trump win in November. It's that dire....

Re: 2016 Election

i still have a hard time believing the Republican party couldn't come up with one decent candidate. Every last one of them was really badly flawed, to the extent they had no business trying. Soooo glad not to be American right now.
