    So you are saying, that even the staunchly conservative papers that endorsed Clinton or no one for the first time in their histories, that they are part of the political elite? Do you know how retarded that sounds? That just tells you how terrible Trump was/is. And they were right. Trump has accomplished nothing, and has literally been stuck in constant scandal mode since his election.

    So you are saying the staunchly conservative papers that normally endorse conservative candidates were paid off to not endorse the Republican? Are you fucking high?

Yeah, he will be lucky to make it past his first term to try to run for his 2nd.
    How about the great economy and the very successful foreign policy trip? Stop getting news from Colbert. His numbers are going up but I wouldnt expect anyone on this forum to mention it. This place is just a battle to see who can hate trump more now.

    But Trump has not enacted any policies that would affect the economy yet, the healthcare bill has to pass to senate and his budget is in its infancy same for tax reform. Trump's 1 trillion dollar infrastructure plan has yet to also materialize, if you believe what Trump has said the economy is horrible and we have a 40% unemployment rate.

    As for the foreign policy trip I supposed we should all be thankful that he has not caused an international incident. He has managed to anger the Europeans but for Trump the bar is set so low that not causing a major problem can be considered a win.

    First, you have no clue where I get my news. Second, you need to learn how statistics work. Third, Hillary did win the popular vote, which shows that the nationwide polling was fairly accurate and the rest requires more of a grasp of statistics than you apparently had.

    How about the great economy
    Thanks Obama!

    His numbers are going up
    Sure. By 0.4% OooOOOooOOoOohhh. So much wow. https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com...roval-ratings/

    You mean the economy that is pretty much doing exactly what it was doing when Obama left? Trump has neither (a) signed any legislation that would have a significant effect on the country's economy nor (b) had enough time in office to have much of an effect.

    Actually you can't. And "great msm talking points" is a non-reply. Please let me know where I'm wrong. If you have a point then make it, otherwise it's obvious to everyone that you don't have an actual reply. Score one for me I guess.

    Eh? Did 401k just magically start when Trump took office? I'm not sure what your reply means other than you seem to have no desire to put anything in context. Which doesn't particularly surprise me since taking things out of context is conservatism 101.

    Nothing Trump has done has effected the economy, except for his possible impeachment talks when it dipped over 300 points in one day. His foreign policy trip wasn't successful, it made him look like a fucking child when he was pushing people out of the way to be at the front of the fucking line. I watch some Colbert videos on Youtube once in a while but I don't get my news from him. And even then, a comedian in Colbert is better and more truthful than anything you listen to. Trump's numbers aren't going up, if anything they are dipping lower with this new information about Kushner.

    Evidently unlikely shit happens. I wonder how long we'll have to hear from people who dont understand some very basic facts.

    Mathematical failure runs rampant in the Conservative Mindset. For example:

    1. If we raise wages then everything is going to go up at the same rate.

    2. The 9th Circuit Court has an 80% overturn rate.

    3. Trump's Budget

    4. The cost of Universal Healthcare against the current system.

    5. Cutting benefits from the poor will somehow help them eventually. (Not really mathematics but I needed a fifth....but not like Mike Flynn)

    It never ceases to amaze me that some people can't grasp that if someone has an 95% chance of winning that also means they have a 5% chance of losing.

    Again the point is it never was 95% for Hillary. It's was all media bullshit.

    I have seen the best gains on my 401k and bitcoin since January. Not a coincidence.

    Jeezy, just looking at these last few posts makes it clear you have no goddamn idea how statistics, probability, or basic logic works. Just stop, man. You're embarrassing yourself.

    Do you have a point? At no time did the polling very say Trump had a 0% chance of winning. Your replies to everyone are just reinforcing that you don't understand how to read polling and statistical analysis of probability from the election.

    I have seen the best gains on my 401k and bitcoin since January. Not a coincidence.
    Guess what -- economic policy and measurement isn't based on individual outcomes. Someone else has seen their investments tank since Trump took office. Doesn't mean squat.

    And that also completely ignores Trump affect on the economy -- which has been very minimal since he's been in office a very short time and hasn't passed much (and maybe actually nothing) resembling economic policy.

    Bah, I don't know why I'm bothering. You obviously aren't acting in good faith here.

    And NONE of that has anything to do with Trump. Literally NOTHING he has done has effected the economy, other than making Wall Street unstable with him being so fucking unstable.

    What's interesting to me is it is inadvertently (or maybe not) exposing one of the fundamental pieces that makes conservative ideology work -- the whole "just as long as I get mine."

    Notice the focus isn't on society as a whole, or how everyone is doing, but rather about his 401k and his bitcoin.

    The world could be on fire and he'd still be cheerleading Trump because he got his.

    Zero. Empathy.

    That would be a vague opinion. No facts, just spew. I'm sure Trump is also LITERALLY HITLER too.
