Oh wow.

Now you accuse Trump of plotting the assassination of Hillary.

You guys have truly gone off the deep end about losing so many elections.

Here's a hint. It's not the fault of the winner.

The Democrat Party which poured $10s of millions of dollars into those districts and they failed. Why? Because of nonsense in the OP.
Sure the D's would have crowed. Why? Because it would have meant that safe R districts had flipped. They didn't flip. They held for the R's at a much lower rate than normal.

So you're the one crowing that safe R districts haven't rejected Donald Trump; they just collectively voted far less R than normal.

That's like bragging that "while I contracted an STD, I'm still not HIV positive!"

Or the proverbial kid happily shoveling through the manure in the barn looking for his pony.

Trump is currently averaging 40% in approval polls.

The average number of lost seats for a President's party in off-year elections with a 40% approval is 40 seats.

Only time will tell, but by all means, keep shoveling for that pony.

He may not have explicitly said it but he certainly insinuated it.

Silly for sure. While I don't agree with most of the liberal point of view, I did expect that they have the comprehension and sense of balance to actually understand what is being communicated.

Considering that liberals are used to listening to liberal mainstream media whose talking heads continually insinuate, suggest and imply...it's no surprise that you might also be prone to insinuating along the same Trump-hating lines.

Taking Trump any way they please, preferably the worst way possible, shows that liberals either do not have the capacity to comprehend and communicate, or they deliberately choose not to.

I know which one I think it is.

Do they know what's in the bill?

Or are they going by what they've been told by Democrats and the liberal media?

Not a fan of Mark Sanford but he walked in and assured the crowd he was ready to listen....and he stayed for almost 3 hours ot make sure everyone got their say. He said it was a little tense at first, people were frustrated but when they figured out he was listening (not lecturing, scolding, mocking, ignoring)....he said they were able to have a real and meaningful dialogue.

A good leader is a good leader --even in a hostile nevironment.
