Wrong. He's too tactical to ever admit he understands that, or anything we say.

After eight years of your shitbird hero, Donnie Trump calling President Obama an illegitimate president and tea bagging racists marching with pictures of that good man dressed up as a shaman with a bone through his nose, you expected tongue baths and roses for your malignant narcissist leader and his ill equipped hangers ons?

You're more delusional than I thought possible, Mike.

I'm no fan of Maxine, but you must admit that every criticism she made of Carson is accurate and based upon his own ridiculous public statements.

More than two-thirds of Americans think the partisan divide in the country has worsened since President Trump was elected, according to a new NPR/PBS Marist College poll.

Seventy percent of respondents said that tensions between Democrats and Republicans have deteriorated further under the Trump administration. Twenty percent said they have remained about the same, and only 6 percent said that partisan tensions have improved, the poll released late Monday found.

By comparison, 35 percent of Americans said they thought partisan tensions worsened after former President Obama was elected in 2008.

A lot of ragging about the Democratic Party these days and how they blew the election. Obviously, I wasn't around here for the primary campaigns or the election, but in a nutshell here's my take on this silly shit.

The Democrats ran the best classically trained candidate for the office in my lifetime. If we had been able to rid ourselves of the raggedy holdover from this country's pre-democratic past (the electoral college), that candidate would have won, the executive branch jobs would all be filled, and the country would be rolling along relatively without a care in the world. So...I'm not gonna blame the Democratic party for anything.

The only reason we are where we're at right now is on the people. The country is somewhere between a third and half full of assholes.

The "unfavorable" numbers we see these days don't require a whole lot of analysis. Trump never had the votes of any legitimate progressives or moderates, pretty much all of whom voted for Hillary...a little less than 50% the electorate. Trump got the votes of intellectually lazy-ass "independents" who left their brains in their other pants, and the votes of 1%er's who's only interest was in their federal income tax bill...an additional 15% of the electorate. Trump has managed to lose these self-absorbed assholes in the first 150 days. Finally there's his base of bigot, xenophobic, nativist, nationalistic poor disenfranchised white people (who have had all the advantages in this country since the founding)...the remaining 35% of the country are, of course, sticking with him. Despicables forever.

That's 98%. In thinking about it further...the missing percent or so in there are miffed milennials, (and other massively self-absorbed types with personalities that put them on the other side of the same coin with Donald) mostly infected with Bernie-itis, who decided to spend election day in some fucking Starbucks somewhere sucking down their Triple, Venti, Half Sweet, Non-Fat, Caramel Macchiato's...and who are the most despicable of all. And an extra-special happy independence day too all of you.

You'll get no argument from me, Ike. Spot on analysis.

As someone once said, 'Democrats have to fall in love while Republican fall into line'. It's going to be a rough four years.

Uh, wow. Pretty cynical analysis, but pretty typical of how Dems are way off in their analysis of the Nov election.

Start with the highlighted part above: depending on what poll you look at, Trump sucked in about 10% of the Dem vote. Mostly Dems who were not satisfied with the overall economy, and yes, this number is disproportionately white and male. But, Dems forgot about this segment of the vote a long time ago, and it has come back to haunt them. If the Dems had even tried a little to appeal to this group rather than consistently alienate them, Hillary would likely be in the White House now.
