The State of Trump...

[hufnagel]

To be fair, Carter has done good work since becoming ex-POTUS. While I don't think there's a Dennis Rodman chance in hell the NORK problem is going to be solved without U.S. rockets, bombs, and caskets (sadly), if Carter wants to put his ancient ass on the line and go into enemy territory, I say let him. Somehow I can't see him making shit worse.

And therein lies the great hope for the GOP - only a couple of Dems in public office are qualified to walk and chew gum at the same time. Not to mention the fact that the major debate in the Democratic Party is whether they should limit their platform to socialism, or go all out and embrace communism (actually, fascism more closely resembles the far left but who really cares what they call it at that point).

I suppose the real threat is if one of those liberal, billionaire CEO-types from companies like Amazon, Target, or Apple throws their hat in the ring as an independent.

If the GOP/Republican/RINO/conservatives can't get their shit together there's also the possibility of an independent candidate on that side, in which case the Dems could walk anybody through the election.

Frankly, they all (Dem, Rep, Ind) pretty much suck.

It may seem that way. However, take a look at this list and notice that about 60 members of Congress have a liberty score of at least 80% - a "B":

I will not vote for any candidate with a score less than 70% which is why neither Virginia Foxx nor Richard Burr, both Republicans, earned my vote in 2016 and I will not support Foxx in 2018.

Perhaps if more people did their research and stopped voting for Republicans with D's or F's just to stop Hillary, Nancy, et al.

Dude... I just typed Washington state in, for giggles. I now need a stiff drink, and I’m not even done with breakfast yet.

Well, at least I have Mark Meadows...Tillis and Burr are constant disappointments.

Statistically that's usually how it goes. The incumbent gets re-elected and then the other party takes over for 8 years. Back-and-forth, back-and-forth. I think it's something like 85% of the time you can predict who will win the election on that alone.

If Trump does get re-elected the Dems will have to pick a real piece of work in order to lose in 2020. Think Hilary Clinton's mind in Bernie Sanders' body with Michael Jackson's craziness. I'm not putting it past them though.

The more interesting question will be, when the Democrats retake the House in 2018 and make major gains in the Senate (Bannon will help them there by his avowed aim to start primaries on incumbents) will they attept to pursue impeachment or just have 20 investigations?

I won't even type in NJ... I bet the web site would crash from laughing so hard.

Didn't even look.

It’s only a problem if you keep drinking them throughout the day.

I’m not necessarily against primarying some GOP senators. All of Bannon’s targets have Liberty Scores that are in the toilet; it’s hard to distinguish some of them from democrats. My biggest concern is the people that Bannon backs as the alternative. Case in point - Bannon backed Roy Moore, a certified clown, over a proven conservative in the form of Luther Strange. Keep in mind that Strange has a solid A Liberty Score and would have likely easily won against his late-term abortionist Democratic opponent. Now, the GOP is wasting valuable dollars defending a seat that should be a gimme.
