We are really looking at the reality of democrats losing the Hispanic community. What's ironic is that they were who Dems were going to use to seize control of the presidency and both houses by turning Texas blue, the way they turned California blue: illegal immigration. But the generational shift completely blew up in their faces.

Hispanic Americans are largely conservative-religious, patriotic, capitalist, and against illegal immigration. Another twist? Not only did Trump attract more black men, but also Muslims, which Dems lost. Once the second-third generations became more Americanized, distancing away from their parents and grandparents experience, immigration became less important and individual freedom and American idealism became more important. They embraced what affluent, college educated, and overwhelmingly white liberals took for granted: being American.

The only gains dems made are college educated whites.

I found this a good post. GOP kinda found a niche in an anti-uber liberal & free everything folks, as well as latino vote in some areas. I think you're black men & Muslims probably needs clarification. More than what, than he got in 2016? Low is low, an increase from 3.5 to 4.2 or something is negligible.

Anyway that aside, yeah the Dems possibly overreached again. Remember in 2016 John Kasich said on the debate stage 'You know, we're up here running for President and talking about what bathrooms people can use" and if you remember, thats the country we were back then. And immigration, I think 2 races now have proven completely open borders and cozying up to illegals isn't gaining new votes. On the flip side tho trump 'lost in a landslide' that he claimed Hillary lost in, so his build a wall and lock them up in cages likely wasn't a winner either.

With Pelosi on her way out soon, or at least likely soon time to give up SOTH, they need a new identity. Hope they realize AOC isn't it. She wins NYC & the NY/National media, but there's about 40 or so other states who aren't lock step in her thinking.

Trump is suing everywhere now...he's suing Nevada...and I'm sure he'll sue in Georgia and North Carolina soon...as those margins are tightening.

Does he really think this is how he's going to win?

The best scenario imo is Biden winning and dealing with McConnell. This way, Trump saves face and can brag about getting more votes than Obama, how the race was rigged against him and he didn't really lose, and he can just troll "Sleepy Joe" for the next four years. But hopefully he doesn't run again. I just have this awful feeling he will.

If he lost, it's over. He'll be Sleepy Donald in 4 years.

Ivanka may run in 2024 in an attempt to cash in on Trumpism but I think it's over if Biden takes this.

Not sure how the country is going to react to no more 24/7 Trump.

It'll be weird.

No Trump will ever be allowed into the GOP again.  Don't get me wrong, Trump has done wonders to steal the blue collar base from the Democrats, but the man and his family are pure toxicity.  Chelsea Clinton wouldn't fair well either.  Sean Parnell just ousted Democrat Connor Lamb in Pittsburgh.  Look for him to be a rising start in the GOP - late 30s and a decorated combat veteran who lead a company of men in Afghanistan.  Veterans like me are getting really tired of these reservists who served as lawyers and spent 4 months at a Hilton pretending to be John Rambo.

I finally got around to watching Doubt. I could kick myself for putting it off for 12 years. Most religious themed movies are a turn off to me.

Philip Seymour Hoffman, Amy Adams, and Meryl Streep should've all won Oscars. None of them won. Hell....Adams lost to Penelope Cruz of all people and her win should've been a lock.

It was also the year of the Slumdog Millionaire hype so it didn't have a chance in hell of getting best picture.

Anyone watching this Dallas-Philly game?

Holy shit do these teams suck. Amazing that a team from this division will go to the playoffs.

I've been hearing about it all day on the radio.

There is no clear favortie to me...although Tampa seems to be gaining momentum...

I see flaws with everyone. Especially the Bears...my god...did they have a melt down moment at the end of the second quarter and the beginning of the third quarter...it's becoming obvious that there is major tension between Foles and Nagy...which is ironic because I thought Nagy wanted Foles.

Foles recently said that something to the effect of 'I know when a play is called that it won't work before we run it.'

Nagy is allegedly an offensive coach whose offense is currently behind Jacksonville in offensive production. The Bears had the 32nd ranked rushing attack going into last night. Tack on the 28th passing game...and you have an offense that sucks and is getting worse.
