As if anyone watches HLN.

Remember when the House of Representatives was supposed to actually be representative based on population?More people voted for Hillary. They all live in cities though. You have country now ruled by the will of white farmers. Full circle.
I certainly think it's possible for Democrats to gain in 2018 and 2020. DNC needs someone to lead so we can start to fix the problems within the party.
How many Democrats are as corrupt/power-hungry/vain as Republicans? Would it be possible to run 2018/2020 with a national "clean-up politics/kick the GOP out" policy? I mean, NC politics seems toxic, and after Trump I think it'll be worse.
Not something to do if your party is just as dirty as the opponent's, though.
We knew back in 2012 that wasn't a thing. If I recall correctly, D reps received more votes than R reps did in total, nationwide, but the House didn't flip.Remember when the House of Representatives was supposed to actually be representative based on population?
This strategy could be very powerful if the economy starts to go south and people begin losing healthcare, medicare and their relief funds.How many Democrats are as corrupt/power-hungry/vain as Republicans?

After exchange w Trump transition team, changed my recommendation: stay away. They're angry, arrogant, screaming "you LOST!" Will be ugly.
I think the overall feeling in here has been people are in great fear of Trump himself.
I don't get that. The thing that scares me is that we have the most far-right republican party in total control. I fear for social programs. I fear for voting rights. I fear for any member of the poor or lower-middle class.
I honestly foresee there being some fireworks between Trump and the GOP because of this. I think Trump wants people to like him, and I think he genuinely wants to do things that will make people like him. Ryan, though? He doesn't care. He's a hardcore right-winger who cares nothing for those less fortunate.
What's the significance of this?
Ugh. This is gonna be a shitshow.

Putin bombed three hospitals in the last 24 hours, wheeeee.

Hahahahaha. That was destroyed in 2010. Now it's representative of greedy politicians.
To make the house fair again you would need to divide each state into representative squares something. None of this bullshit going on.
But he sent the Donald a beautiful letter though.
I fear both of these scenarios and I'm not sure which one will ultimately cause more harm. Ryan will certainly enact an agenda that causes a generational disaster, but Trump could easily cause another middle eastern war in his quest to occupy Iraq and take the oil. Or stop Iran.I think the overall feeling in here has been people are in great fear of Trump himself.

Can you imagine how Trump will react when the CBO releases a report on his tax plan and it turns out to be shit?
"lyin' partisan CBO saying my tax plan is terrible. I should sue! Sad! #MAGfSWPA"

Vox put together a piece showing how Hillary's emails got a dozen times more front page headlines than "Trump says stuff about Muslims that Nazis said about Jews in the 1920s."
And now nobody is saying a single peep about those emails.
Shy Russian supporters in Trump Syrian Rebels thread in OT. Disputing numbers and stats from human rights groups is the first telltale sign you need to back out of the thread.Putin bombed three hospitals in the last 24 hours, wheeeee.
It really bothers me that he won the electoral vote.Oh wow, it really bothers Trump that he lost the popular vote.
We might get our wish of Giuliani staying away from the Justice Dept. while ending up with someone worse like David Clarke.
They have to pay lip service to going after Clinton because Trump made such a big deal about it during the election. But actually doing so would be an enormous distraction for months that's sure to end in an embarrassing defeat once she's acquitted, so only a complete imbecile would actually go through with it.Team Fucktard is still refusing to rule out going after Clinton.

Paul Ryan is read some of Breitbart's greatest hits, attacking his Catholicism and kids: "I'm not looking backwards; I'm looking forwards."
A month ago you two were at each other's throats.
Maybe a dumb question, but what's stopping Dem controlled Blue States from banding together and forming their own version of the ACA should it get repealed? Don't they already tend to have lower uninsured rates and be wealthier on average?
A campaign watchdog group filed a complaint with federal election officials that alleges Stephen Bannonrecently named one of Donald Trumps top White House advisersmay have gotten paid illegally during Trumps campaign by pro-Trump billionaires.
And now, a new set of Federal Election Commission filings that havent yet been reported on may give the groups case some additional heft.
At issue are payments of nearly $200,000 that a super PAC called Make America Number 1 made to a company tied to Bannon. On Aug. 17, Bannon left his post as chairman of Breitbart News and became the Trump campaigns CEO. Available FEC filings show the campaign didnt pay Bannon a salary. Larry Noble, who heads the Campaign Legal Center, said he believes the super PAC covertly paid Bannon for his campaign work through his moviemaking company. Neither the super PAC nor Bannon provided a response to Nobles comment.
TruthRevolt, a conservative site founded by former Breitbart editor Ben Shapiro and David Horowitz, branded Ellison a Muslim Brotherhood Shill and a radical. On Fox News, pundit Pete Hegseth called Ellison a radical congressman.
Fox News also published an article which painstakingly lays out the allegations against Ellison, titled Who is Keith Ellison? Left-wing congressman with past ties to Nation of Islam wants DNC job.
And in Commentary Magazine, Ellison was described as an example of the lefts embrace of radicalism, part of the democrats big bet on fanaticism, and a former disciple of Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam.
Though he had since denounced Farrakhans anti-Semitism, Ellison has kept the torch of antipathy for Israel burning, Noah Rothman writes.
@marceelias: In North Carolina Gov race, Roy Coopers lead has expanded by 408 votes to 5,387. I expect this to widen further as the process continues.
They're in way over their heads.
