No, thats you being divisive. Not President Obama, not the Left, thats all you.
Look at what is happening in Houston today as they face disaster. Everybody is coming together to save lives - all lives matter. Nobody is protesting because another race or skin color saved their butt. Everybody is happy to be saved and they are helping save other. While Charlottesville was the worse; Houston is showing us the best. And yes; I think of Charlottesville as President Obama's legacy and I think of Houston as what could be President Trump's legacy.

You want division; I bet the Russians are happy with your division! They could not plan it better.

LMFAO, you are proving my point. The time difference between Houston and Charlottesville is 3 weeks. Both in the Trump administration.

And lets be clear, you are now blaming Obama because white supremacist dont like people of color . How does that make sense ???????

And if you truly believe the Russian story, then do you not see the flaw in your comment. Your own post feed it.

The problem for the Dems...

1. They still haven't figured out why she lost and continue to falsely accuse people. Insanity is doing the same thing over again and expecting different results.
2. Echo chamber... Refusing to listen to the people, silencing them.. you can't plug your ears and expect to know how to fix the problem.
2. Dems was too far left and instead of moving toward the middle, they went further left.
So the answer was to re-ban gay marriage, end social security and Medicare, eliminate minimum wage, overturn Roe v Wade and allow LGBT people to be harassed and assaulted?

Yes. That's correct. By over 2%. And Democrats gained seats in both the House and the Senate. But don't let that get in the way of patting yourselves on the back and chanting, "blowout blowout blowout."

Democrats, how does 1922 feel? I know, Democrats still think they are winning...
They do think they're winning despite the fact Republicans have increased their power in the last 4 election cycles. I haven't seen any indication whatsoever that the Dims intend to change to capture the independents or people in the middle, in fact, they're doubling down on their radicalization and I think that is going to get them completely and thoroughly rejected....everyone was that Trump Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and I think the Dims embracing the leftist fascist violence seeking mob ANTIFA will lead to even more shocking wins for Republicans....Republicans to gain 10 more Senate seats in 2018.

What are you defining as a session to get that number to 5 ?


If You are talking about the senate, that number is 2.


And if you are talking about the House, then why mention the senate ?

Also, it doesnt matter how many were on the ballot, they still lost seats.

From 2010 on GOP has held the House. Then Senate. Then POTUS.

Plus 33 governors. Total control-all chambers-GOP 26 states. Dems have 5.

Economic Nationalism will TRUMP identity politics. The Democrats will wonder what happened to the remaining rural voters they had. The Midwest swing states have a plethora of these voters. When the jobs come back, the Democrats will lose a lot more of the working class vote. There aren't enough nuts and twigs voters in the urban areas to win a lot of races.
