You got a cite for the claim that the Republican Party wants to eliminate all immigrants?
True, I should have said just all Hispanic immigrants. They’re OK with the Russian ones. Thanks for pointing that out.
Do you honestly believe that the Republican Party wants to eliminate all Hispanic immigration?
How the hell could you not? Do you honestly believe that the Republican Party’s Immigration policy is not based entirely on racism? because that is the ludicrous position at this point.
Why the redirection? But to answer your question, no I don’t believe that the policy is entirely racism nor do I believe that the Republicans want to “eliminate” all immigration.
I thought that Chronos’s claim wasn’t accurate and I wanted a cite. Is that not how it works anymore?
Where, in Cali, DC and NY? That is what the media is going to show you. Those states and areas do not matter in 2020. PA, MI, OH, FL…still very much pro Trump.
According to this: Tracking Trump - Morning Consult
Trump’s approval rating is significantly underwater in OH, PA, WI, and MI, and barely even in FL, so your last sentence appears to be factually false, at least as much as these things can be measured.
Silver Lining, did you mean to quote some other post? It doesn’t seem to make any sense with reference to mine. I was referring to Republicans “holding all of the reins of power”, which is obviously not the case in New York nor California. And regardless of whether PA, OH, MI, and FL are or are not pro-Trump, that says nothing at all about how unified either party is.
I think both sides are disunited. But I think the out of power party is more likely to circle wagons and rally together to get power back while the in power party is more likely to fight with themselves over what to do with the power they have.
The Dems don’t, for example, have a Blankenship attacking them after losing a primary.
My take:
That is because too much foreign money and corporate interest have bought out our politicians. The quid pro quo is as big as ever.
I believe the Republican party is becoming more unified, and trending Trump’s way, but the midterms tend to be Anti-Presidential so some of the Republicans are being extra careful as to what they say. The Muller business is slowing down. Trump is not even a suspect.
If the Republican party wasn’t unified, they would not have a new supreme court justice or passed the sweeping tax reform laws.
Right, because over 90% of Republicans didn’t vote for Trump, over whatever objections they might have had. :rolleyes:
If the Republican party was unified they would have accomplished more than two things in the almost 500 days they have had complete control of of the government.
Dumb question perhaps but is this whole “generic ballot” thing weighted to take gerrymandering into account? It’s possible that more folks will vote for Democrats but that Republican officeholder strength will be unaffected, relatively speaking.
And it’s not just that inaction is their goal, because they’ve tried to pass a lot of other things.
The impacts of gerrymandering and other structural advantages to the GOP are such that most experts think a national vote of D + 6 to 7ish is needed to have a 50/50 shot at winning the House.
You are mired in misguided logic and a misunderstanding of the electorate, but your rolleyes emoji is a powerful argument against what I am saying. Powerful.
Oh, I am cut to the quick. Tell me, O Great Expert on All Things Electoral, which party has historically voted in larger percentages of its own constituency in nearly every general election? Provide cites, please. Show us your vast knowledge.
I’m feeling a little better that after bottoming out at the D advantage being under 4 it has come back up to about D+6. We’ll see if it returns to its usual range and if this dip was just noise or not by what happens in the next few weeks.
It is WAY too early to predict anything - especially in these crazy times. The polls could swing to the Republicans and back to the Democrats several times before the election - and the election could still be decided based on the issue in the public’s mind at election time - including issues not even on the radar screen yet.
Start to panic when the polls show your side behind a week or two before the election - and still be prepared to be surprised. We live in a crazy age.
I wouldn’t think you can make a concrete prediction. But the fact is that the Ds have been leading in these polls for quite some time now. It’s not like it’s some fluctuation.
