Re: RECOUNT in 3 SWING STATES - HERE WE GO!

Both Trump and Hillary pitched their campaigns to the middle class. Neither of them even acknowledged the working class. But somehow, Trump's message resonated with the working class. Hillary, like Trump, was a figurehead. At the end of the day, it wasn't so much about her as it was about what she ...

Now run to your meeting.
Negative comment about Donald Trump = accurate and acceptable?

Same negative comment about Barack Obama = racist and crazy?

Jumping the shark a bit, aren't we?

See, this is why it's hard to have an actual discussion.

Re: RECOUNT in 3 SWING STATES - HERE WE GO!

Many of the fear-based, hateful, and divisive beliefs spouted by Donald Trump since successfully manipulating many Americans with his television-honed charisma, and self-centered addiction to power are historic FIRSTS in any nominee's presidential campaign - and now presidency. Look, do I know how ...

Re: RECOUNT in 3 SWING STATES - HERE WE GO!

A county is not "counties will be pushed to the brink"... where does that $800,000 it costs to file for a recount go? Requesting one is not free... $800,000 in? A possible $12,000,000 out? Sounds like a good deal to me! :rolleyes Even if the net cost of a recount is $100,000, that's a tab the taxpa...

Re: RECOUNT in 3 SWING STATES - HERE WE GO!

Genesee / Flint is on the brink with the replacement of lead lines. The former treasurer (a democrat) is really PO'd at Jill Stein and the waste of money this causing them. This is exactly what I was afraid of. This an unnecessary expense for which we all will pick up the tab. The irony in the case...

The term "friend list" is a misnomer. Most of these lists are made up of people one rarely interacts with or has ever interacted with on a personal level.

Perhaps a more appropriate term would be "audience list".

Do not pretend that's not true. And the increase in hate crimes grew even MORE frequent AFTER he won the electoral vote. Stay tunned. Next.

Re: RECOUNT in 3 SWING STATES - HERE WE GO!

Third World Election tactics. And they said Trump was the one who wouldn't accept the results. Jill Stein is a stooge for HDRC, pure and simple. Bought and paid for. Possible but doubtful. The Greens aren't crazy about the hawkish foreign policies of either major party. We tend to attribute hawks t...

Re: RECOUNT in 3 SWING STATES - HERE WE GO!

If I understand the Radiodoc logic here... "Trump won fair and square with our electoral system" Asking for a recount is also a part of the system. Let the system run it's course and quit bitching. Why should you care if they ask for a recount? Hey, as long as I ain't payin' for it, let 'em count t...

Re: RECOUNT in 3 SWING STATES - HERE WE GO!

Libertarian candidates have traditionally attracted disgruntled Republicans and taken votes from GOP candidates. This time I think it was a little different. I've read that Johnson attracted fairly equivalent numbers of Democrats and Republicans and dinged both major party candidates. The LP platfor...
