The American Constitution

[mbaginy]

That is an exceptionally silly, and rather offensive, thing to write, and it has no place here (or anywhere else, for that matter). Have a care.

Oh my, okay I'm gone.

[Peter McLennan]

Yeah, you're right, Fab. I didn't check the date. And of course, there's no chance a Democrat congress -- House or Senate -- would ever pass anything like that... er, unless they called it the Obama 2009 Omnibus Spending Bill.

Nice job of slithering.

[RSL]

It's no slither, Peter. Both parties are driving us to become the modern equivalent of the Weimar Republic. The Republicans are shameless when it comes to spending, but the Democrats put them to shame with their spending.

You got to have a good sense of humor to understand Trump's hyperbolic sense of rhetoric.

As someone else said: "The media takes Trump literally, but not seriously. His supporters take him seriously, but not literally."

How can there be anyone left who takes him either literally or seriously?

How can there be anyone left who takes him either literally or seriously?

Plenty of those who take him literally, literally a half of the country, if not the world. The other half takes him seriously (in a positive sense).

I don't know about being taken seriously, but the latest AP poll shows him with a 62% disapproval rating. Fake news no doubt.

Yes, there is still one year, three months to go.

An AP poll will show any republican with an over 50% disapproval rating, Fab. As Slobodan pointed out, what do you think the poll results were before the last election? What's really hilarious is to play back the projections of the "news" media and pundits the day of the election. Hillary was a shoo-in.

Rasmussen got his approval rating at 48%, disapproval at 50%.
Without knowing who's doing the poll, how they're doing the poll, and what questions they're asking, you're going to get different kinds of statistics. You can prove anything you want.

Still plenty of time for the Dems to screw it up even more.  I read an interesting piece that shows Biden's run is pretty much a repeat of HRK.  He is the safe choice that attacks Trump instead of focusing on policy, and can not draw crowds.   I dont see it working out for him.  As a matter of fact, every safe choice in the last 6 or 7 presidential elections, on either side, ended up loosing. 

The only problem though is that the bold candidates are too far left to get elected, especially in the swing states. 

Unless a charismatic centrist appears, I can't see it working out so well for the Dems. 

Last, you learn something new every day.  I have never seen shoo-in spelled out before and definitely would have thought it was shoe-in.  I had to look it up just to confirm.   

[RSL]

You also need to know what question the poll's asking. You can fix the outcome of almost any poll by asking the right question.

Not quite anything.

[JoeKitchen]

You also have to take into consideration if the polling is of the general public or the general electorate.  Many of these polls show the numbers for the overall public.  If you only consider those registered to vote, the numbers get a lot closer. 

[Slobodan Blagojevic]

... I have never seen shoo-in spelled out before and definitely would have thought it was shoe-in.

In case of Biden (and every other Democrat) the proper spelling is "shoo off"

Time to nuke Denmark, as Ted Cruz foresaw in 2016.

[JoeKitchen]

Since we are talking about headlines, here is one I saw on CNN this morning that I found interesting, "Lemon & Cuomo Imagine Trump Prepping 'Chosen One' Line."

CNN insists that both Lemon and Cuomo are non-biased reporters and not commentators.  Now I am not saying the news should not be critical of persons in power, however no credible news reporters would ever engage in this kind of theatre.  I feel like CNN's credibility has dropped so much that some of their exact headlines could be used for news pieces that would be critical of the network.  If I saw this headline on any other news website, including the far left MSNBC, I would instantly think the story was making fun of CNN. 

It's a shame seeing a once well respected news source fall this far.

No, no, no, you've got it wrong. He wants Iceland, not Greenland. He's confused.
