The millenials are extremely liberal and grew up with Obama. It's pure conjecture but many of them would rather vote for good person/bad politician than good politician/bad person because it's all identity politics

The Dems may have an advantage in 2020 if things improve.

If early-onset senility became a cause for losing voting privileges, half of Trump's supporters would be out of the picture.

Default There's no point in arguing with Trump supporters

Interesting how you use the word, argue

I think you may be the one looking for a fight.

I concur

They perceive themselves to be crusaders in a sort of cultural war against most of America.

This doesn't seem like a problem to most of them bc they consider liberals to be less "American"

There's nothing to argue....you lost last November and America won.

This is an unambiguous statement that those who voted against republicans are not part of America.

I agree. This place has changed. It's become a cesspool of angry Trump supporters who don't believe in facts or rational debate. If it makes their Dear Leader appear in a negative light, they're against it - no matter what the reality may be.

I agree with that as well. They even dismiss the popular vote totals, twisting the numbers by saying that Clinton only won the popular vote because of California, as if the largest state in the country doesn't matter. In their opinion, the only "real Americans" are people who live in states that voted for Trump.

You can only argue logical arguments

The vast majority or statements made in this board are rarely that.

So, yah I mean regardless of who you support there really isn't much to actually reply to unless you're just here to pointlessly argue with others over how you personally feel

The reasonable Trump supporters who were hoping he'd start to act like a president after he was elected have all disappeared. The only people left to defend him here are the paid posters and the crazies who want to see the U.S. brought to its knees.

See? "There ya go again, Jimmy".

By this time in his first term Obama had bilked $880 billion from the American public in the form of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, which studied the attention span of goldfish, plant trees in wealthy neighborhoods, a grant to study duck penises, a turtle tunnel in Florida, and $500 million for....Solyndra.
Not to mention all those "shovel ready" projects that never materialized.

Seems to me - a Johnson voter - that Trump is doing much better than Obama. It took several months for me to truly distrust and dislike Obama. Trump is not there yet. The media is, though.
