Keep being stupid. The Republicans control the House, The Senate, And the presidency. Not to mention a majority of governors, and state houses. I love hearing the excuses. Here is the Governor map, and you cant gerrymander you way to steal the governor seats, you know. I would also note, some of the states that are fashionable to disparage, such as WV, and La, elected democratic Governors. This isn't gerrymandering...you guys LOST this round.

Well, all Trump has to do is keep the National debt under 40 trillion (assuming he stays in office for 8 years,) and he will beat Obama's excellent record for the national debt increasing ~13% a year. Obama has set the bar so low, his numbers will not be difficult to beat.
You appear not to understand that gerrymandering also affects governorship races although in a more roundabout way. When a state is gerrymandered to all hell at the local level by republicans, it severely damages the local democratic party infrastructure and leadership bench by taking out so many of their people. That in turn results in far weaker candidates for higher office and a damaged election machine, which in turn means less governorships controlled by democrats. It's all linked.

A delusional Trumpist, why am I not surprised........
The good thing about it all, is that Trump will be a disaster and it will leave a sour taste in everyone's mouth and the last shred of credibility republicans had with their voters will be gone. I didn't like Trump, but I'm going to laugh my ass off after his term, because you might have won the battle, but you'll definitely lose the war.
What? Are you serious? I guess I can use this same twisted logic you have here to claim that NY and CA are "gerrymandered" against the republicans then, right? It's amazing...even in a popular vote...1 person = 1 vote... a democrat will still cry foul...if they lose.
Talk to me in a year. We will see who is delusional.
Maybe, but I'm not so sure. We really are in uncharted territory.
Not hard since Trump won't have to deal with the economic crisis the Obama's fixed. If you take the economic crisis out of the equation, Obama's yearly debt increase is below 5%, which no president other than Bill Clinton has ever done in the history of the USA.
Do stay ignorant though. It's really entertaining how gullible some of you are.
This is not really true. The targetting does matter. Bernanke and the fed gave the banks trillions and theyve basically sat on it. Stimulus spending requires that stimulus actually be spent on goods and services. Classes with a higher marginal propensity to consume will by definition spend more leading to better growth. Giving money to the banks and the wealthy simple means that money will remain in savings as a "leakage" from the circuit.
Thats how liberals fight. welcome to MMO forms, a liberal pool of poo.
Obama is a 'gov can solve problems' president, he really wanted to be king obama, and spent most of his 8 years acting like it. I will get great joy out of watching him squirm during Trumps speech and then seeing the mountains of regulations deleted with Trumps stroke of a pen. revenge is a dish best served cold.

The best part of this is he takes credit for "saving" the economy when all he did is borrow a bunch of money to buoy the economy.
Heck, anyone can make the economy look good by throwing 7 trillion at it.
The Dem faithful will fall for it though and his puppets in the media will continue to spout his propaganda.
He is not the only one guilty though, Bush did some of that too.
I don't know how anyone can support either of these parties anymore (Dems and Pubs). They collect the highest taxes in the world and they still have to borrow money to manage this country..... What a bunch of ignorant buffoons.
So much bullshit and factual nonsense from the right wingers here. Even basic stuff you can disprove in 5 seconds is repeated like it has any shred of evidence or truth. Just be true to yourself and write what you really want to write. You want to shout "I don't want a n*gger in office! White power only!" That's what this is about. Nothing else. You made up the strangest bullshit to justify your Obama hate when it's just simple racism.

Atoms are liars, they make up everything!
I see you struggle with data, let me help you sir:
"Highest tax rate in World
39.1 percent
In today’s globalized world, U.S. corporations are increasingly at a competitive disadvantage. They currently face the highest statutory corporate income tax rate in the world at 39.1 percent."
taxfoundation.org/blog/us-has-highest-corporate-income-tax-rate-oecd
Ok so it fell from 1st to third. Still, it is in the top three of rates for the world. Don't forget, we are also home to Wall Street.

See my above posts. US had the highest corporate tax rate in 2014 and is third in 2016.
