Gabbard is an opportunist. A lot of Sanders supporters were claiming that she was progressive just because she endorsed Sanders. The only reason she is a Democrat and adopted some progressive positions is because it's difficult to be elected as a conservative Republican in Hawaii.

History dictates that the President's party loses seats in the midterms. With Republicans having total control, I can't see how they don't lose seats. The leadership has to offer something to look forward to in order to keep people engaged. The preparation for the midterm starts right now.

Look at the avatar. Only someone with that idiot in their profile picture would believe that this is actually good news. Questionable taste and judgement all around it seems.

Real infrastructure spending is unfortunately not on the table, even though it is sorely needed. This bill is just a way for Trump to try and acquire inventory for his companies. It's nothing but a scam.

All of this is exactly on the mark. Basically all the people there have done is live on whatever they could get from menial jobs and now cannot adjust to how things have changed.

There were more deaths than births in West Virginia in the last few years, so that is one area that really is not going to recover. The reality is that some places are just finished permanently, yet some people ignore that.

To use a soap opera analogy, he's like that one actor/actress on set that no one likes because they are too difficult to work with. There has also been rumors that he has issues with body odor, but I don't know if that has much to do with why he's disliked.

Legally, the President doesn't have to live at the White House, but if the President opts to live elsewhere then taxpayer dollars have to pay for extra security costs. It's an expensive mess that only Trump could create. Trump Tower is not a proper place for a President to reside, anyway. Unlike the residences that Reagan and Bush had, it's not rural and isolated enough for the Secret Service to guard it without disrupting the routine of residents.

He's creating a real nightmare for residents and the Secret Service, because it's logistically difficult to guard Trump Tower.

Melania and her son are not going to move into the White House in January. The reason is that she wants him to finish out the school year, but I honestly think it's a sign that Trump isn't going to live in the White House. There have already been reports that he was trying to calculate how many days a month he'd stay in the White House. He really does not want this job, he only wants the title.

Birth rates aren't helping small red states much when it comes to population growth, because there are no electoral vote gains in any of those states, save for Texas and that state shifted a few points away from Republicans. No one stays in small states, they leave for the bigger states where the educational opportunities, jobs and desirable living environments are. High birth rates only can keep a population stable when in migration is close to zero. You don't hear about anyone hurrying to move to Oklahoma.

Trump ran as an outsider and that actually worked for him, because people will vote for an outsider or someone promising change. That's what worked for Obama, because even though he was in office, he wasn't seen as an insider. In the exit polls, Trump had a 59% disapproval rating in Iowa even though he won the state by 10%. There are plenty who voted for him who can't stand him, but voted for him to get rid of trade. The states that put him over the top only did so narrowly and could easily be a fluke that won't repeat in four years. On the flip side, you had Hillary Clinton swinging college educated white voters Democratic in a big way. She flipped Orange County blue for the first time since 1936, a county that has been synonymous with Republican forever. She flipped two suburban Atlanta counties that voted Republican for years. That is promising, since these are the areas that are growing and becoming more of a factor in elections.

Perhaps a good strategy would be to make Trump and Pence so uncomfortable that they self-deport.

The President is supposed to be a highly competent chief and nothing more. We are talking about the most important position in the world, not a personality contest.

It's necessary for anyone running for President to acknowledge that manufacturing is no longer viable. Misleading voters into thinking that these jobs are coming back is absurd. Most people aren't even aware of how problematic a trade war would be or the consequences that would result from it. Venezuela went hard against trade and now you have people waiting in line everyday just for basic items. Granted, the price controls there have made matters worse, anti-trade policy has caused much of the problem.

Trump isn't going to kill trade, because he's an outsourcer himself. Anyone who believes that he will do it is an idiot and will get what they deserve when the economy collapses once again from other bad decisions he's bound to make.

In the case of poor undocumented immigrants, they just come over looking for work and better living conditions. If you talk to anyone whose parents are undocumented, it's almost always the same story of them wanting a better life and wanting it quickly.

It depends on individual situations, because every undocumented immigrant has different reasons, but for the most part it's about having to go back to their country of origin. If they do make themselves known and opt to go through the process to become a citizen, it's not uncommon for someone to be deported. It's a long and complicated process.

In the past few years more people left the country and returned to their country of origin than vice versa, which means it's a lot less of an issue than it was before. And lastly, as long as people hiring undocumented immigrants are allowed to get away with it without being heavily fined and penalized, immigration reform is pointless. We have a day labor camp right down the street from where I live where men wait for contracting jobs, because people will pay and I'm pretty sure that some of the workers are undocumented.

The exit polls might have been wrong. Some of the swings in Texas, California and Arizona suggests that Hispanics dramatically shifted towards Democrats.

Sanders is not at fault. It's Comey's stunt that helped Trump win and the media was insistent on defeating Hillary by playing up the email story for months. Those things, along with Trump's fake rhetoric about reviving manufacturing at the reasons that he won.

That is something that I thought about, but I think Pence is just one of those super religious types who is fanatical without any underlying reason.

That's exactly what I was thinking, but Trump won't do this because he is in no way a leader.

Trump was never going to repeal Obamacare and neither would any of the other Republican candidates had they been elected. Republicans have slowly backed away from the whole repeal argument because Obamacare has become a part of the norm despite the issues with premiums rising. Trump's main goal in office will be about creating power and financial opportunities for himself. He's made an idiot out of a lot of voters.

You know what, Trump has so much legal crap behind him that he will end up like Nixon, but probably quicker.
