Presidential Elections

NEW -> Contingent Buyer Assistance Program
We shall see if President Trump acts with the same steady conciliatory attitude to help bring the country together as  Barack Obama did in 2010...


Eric Cantor went to the White house on day three of President Obama's presidency. At the time, Obama and Democrats had total control of the White House, Senate and House. Cantor tried to share ideas with President Obama for stimulating the economy and creating jobs. When Cantor pushed for small business tax-cuts, President Obama said

"Elections have consequences, and at the end of the day, I won."

Instead of business tax cuts that would have actually stimulated the economy, we got the failed Porkulus bill that only stimulated unions and other democratic special interest groups. Unemployment has skyrocketed to 9.5% since the Stimulus was passed and even President Obama is indirectly admitting Democrats made a mistake
 
My two favorite stats so far:

President Elect Rabid Orangutan won 76% of counties with a Cracker Barrel restaurant and 22% of counties with a Whole Foods - a 54% gap, compared to 19% gap in same counties last go round.

and

231,556,622 Eligible Voters

46.9% didn't vote
25.6% voted for The Scabrous Gorgon
25.5% voted for The Tang Menace

Numbers RULE!
 
When I worked in healthcare, the majority of my patients were Hispanic.

But not all Hispanics fit in the same basket.

There were many who had been here many years, some first generation, some second generation but "those" Hispanics were against amnesty that Reagan granted in the early 90's. They felt they had paid their dues, gone to school, learned English and were proud to be Americans after studying to get thru the test. They felt that those coming across the border needed to pay their dues as well and "they" were a threat to their jobs.

THOSE Hispanics can vote. The ones just over the border..... not so much.

You can't put that group into one big boat and think it's all going to be one big homogenous voting block.

Seemed as if no one courted the senior citizens. Nothing mentioned about social security (other than Hillary saying it should be expanded once in a while and we all know.......... fat chance for THAT happening).

Somebody explain what it does "poorly" educated or "non-college" educated old white folks mean?

uneducated: [uhn-ej-oo-key-tid/?n??dj??ke?t?d], adjective, definition: disagrees with me.

Remember Prop 187, the one where all the polls said would lose by a wide margin because it was so politically incorrect but then passed?  I think we will see the same with Trump.  No matter what some people tell the pollsters, what happens in the privacy of the polling booth will be a different story.

See, told ya so!  Polls LOL.

Clinton spent $450 million+ campaigning for her election for a job that pays only $400,000 a year for a maximum payout of $3.2 million.  Sounds like a terrible, terrible investment by TI/Panda standards.  Talk about cash flow negative...

The real money comes after the presidency like her husband.  $100,000 to $1 million per speech + book + consulting fee.  Bill Clinton is getting close to $100 million net worth.  Not bad.  Clinton spent/wasted $450 million of Wall Street's money so it's all good.

"poorly educated older white males"
I think many people will be offended by that. I will take a person with real life experience over a fresh college graduate.
Any way, it is time for California to leave the Union. California is vastly different from the rest of country any way.
#CalExit

And create a new country called the People's Republic of California?  haha

What I want to know is..... why Obama didn't pick Hillary as VP back in '08?  She was in better shape then without all the scandals. ;D
Once they went head to head with each other, that wasn't going to happen.

They should of replaced her after the 9/11 incident. Blame the dnc. Thinking it through, the way the campaign was run is a joke.

Doesn't it also feel any time Trump runs a press conference or a rally, it's put together by a bunch of High School kids in Videography class or something...

Other people's money bro...
 
No one talks about how bad Hilary's VP selection was. The writing was on the wall that she should of picked Bernie for VP.

Also, I think Bernie would of been a better choice the Hilary. But after the Wikileaks's dump, seemed like the DNC didn't want Bernie. But it look like the people wanted Bernie. If it wasn't for super delegates, Bernie would have been the Democrat nominee and better candidate. He was more polarizing than Clinton.

Bottom line the DNC dropped the ball. Trump out played them.
