Welcome to America, where someone posts an article for the NY Times, and because someone doesnt like the article, they call it fake news.

Welcome to the America that our President has brought us to, some of you will deny news articles simply because you don't like them.

Globalist Republicans also need access to cheap labor for goods to be made, but also cheap labor for jobs here in America. Globalist GOP Republicans would not want immigration reform which will hurt their businesses. I had to look at panoramic perspective. With immigration being a factor, whos going to do field work jobs. Should blacks and poor whites be sent back to the fields to work under Trump's nationalism? Or secure immigration so that immigrants have easy access to low wage jobs so that the average American can remain comfortable.

I say this once, and I will say it again. When Donald Trump got elected as President. Ronald Reagan turned in his grave.
Yes. Ronald Reagan would be apalled to see who the party chose as their standard bearer.

I will say this about 2016, it has swung me from the left and into the middle. I have come to reject political extremism on either side. Moderate voices must speak boldly in the coming 2 elections.

I know many six figure, college graduate, professionals who are going to vote for Trump a second time. Some like him more now than they did the first time he ran. They also are going to vote Republican in the midterms.

The reason the leftists keep getting blindsided and wail and succumb to TDS is because they have told themselves that only poor dumb, white rednecks vote for Trump.

I don't know about the rest of you but I am going to enjoy watching them eat crow.

Get ready to cry again Dems.

And I know many of this group who voted for him but are now running away from him and like minded candidates.

You say that like making money and having a degree in some subject from some school makes people kind, smart, or good citizens.

I'm in agreement. I'm center-left. I'm appalled that sjw and feminists elements have took over the Democrat party. Is also despise the alt right and cringe fringe racial elements of pro blacks and white nationalist. We as a society need to come back to the middle to make things work again. Moderates need take back this country from these folks of people who plan to tarnish our great Republic.

Question for you since you are from New York -
NY has the 4th lowest Early Vote in the Nation - 34,425 as of 10/30/18

Only Delaware, Rhode Island and Oklahoma have a lower total of Early Vote.
Do you have any idea why that is?? Totals are up nearly everywhere - way down in NY although they are up from the 2014 Mid-Term Total Early Vote of only 7,591.

Do people just not do Early Voting in NY?

NY has absentee mail-in voting (which you have to request and apply for), but no other early voting opportunities.
