THAT was supposed to be the case last November!! I've been hearing that "fastest-growing demographic" talking point for years. Doesn't matter if the votes don't grow in the key states.
Damn Electoral College!!

Years ago, when I first became politically aware (around 20-22), I said to a friend that had I been born in the US, I imagine I'd have joined the Republicans: their values and ideology appealed to me. Didn't agree with all of them, but they felt close to my beliefs.
Obviously, that was academic. I am a member of a political party (or was) over here. I want to be part of a movement that helps society become better.
But if I had been born in the US, and joined the Republicans, I'd now be sending my membership card to their HQ and completely washing my hands of them!

Charles is right, David. And the GOP is doing everything they can to keep them from voting. AND they're trying to get rid of them and keep any more from coming in.

Trump is pledging to donate $1 million toward hurricane disaster relief in Texas and Louisiana.... the question is will this be another ruse as he did with that big donation to disabled veterans? WHY should anyone believe what this man says or what he promises?

Jeez, seems the attack on the "fake media" (and the disfunction of the Dems) has done its job....
Kinda depressing as we head towards the end of YEAR ONE.

The lack of anything resembling specific data in that article makes me suspicious. "Pollsters are shocked by how many voters..." "...most participants..." These representations are anonymous and unattributed for a reason, presumably because the source's identity would raise questions about their motives.
QUOTE:
| Stop, Democratic operatives urge voters, assuming that what they think is morally right is the best politics. A case in point is Trump’s response to the violence in Charlottesville. The president’s equivocation on neo-Nazis was not as much of a political problem as his opponents want to believe, Democratic operatives say, and shifting the debate to whether or not to remove Confederate monuments largely worked for him. |

It's been a persistent meme of the white "Left" that the Democrats needs to move past "distractions" like racism and sexism and focus on the real issues facing the country, which are economic and the fault of the Democrats. If they have their way the Democrats will return to being an unapologetic white nationalist party while accomplishing nothing in the way of economic justice.

I disagree. I think a vast majority of Trump voters knew exactly who they were voting for and are getting exactly what they want (although not necessarily what they need).

Trump attacked ESPN’s Jemele Hill today, calling on the host who called him a white supremacist to “apologize for untruth.” (Press secretary Huckabee Sanders said Hill should be fired for her remarks.)
Seriously??? We do have a First Amendment to protect citizens against government retribution if opinions are not approved. Does he plan to change that???

Gosh, is Cotton Candy Hair going to resign? Why doesn't he? Just go and play golf, Cotton Candy Hair. You're not wanted by most normal people. How much longer does the US have to put up with this shit?

If the Iraq death toll were but the only stain on the American taxpayers' consciences, we'd deserve to endure a 150 year Trump superpresidency and still not wash away the blood

I don't think he's bright enough to even realize the implications of what he is doing. He is just doing, reflexively, what he has always done. Reacting without thinking because his fragile ego was wounded.
Not that this is much better since this man is now POTUS and seems to have no concept of the responsibility of the position.
