nah, both you and Vanz have a point. Small businesses employ a sizable, yet diminishing chunk of the American work force, and they went for Trump. The bulk of the GDP isn't in small businesses but rather your Googles, your Amazons, and your Facebooks, which requires an educated workforce which went for Hillary. https://www.jpmorganchase.com/corporate/institute/small-business-economic.htm
How do I feel. Honestly it's a rollercoaster ride with Trump. Love how he trolls and triggers leftists. His election has further exposed corruption in government and everything it touches. A media bias that we all knew existed has been outed for all to see. Someone other than a radical leftist appointed to the Supreme Court was a big plus. That's the upside. Exposing corruption and actually eliminating it have proven to be two completely different things. His tax cut scheme is a shell game. He has failed on any sort of illegal immigration control. He has shown himself to be quite a bit short of a great deal maker. His ability to command respect is laughable. His Mideast foreign policy is complete cluster fuck. And he doesn't seem to know when to just shut the fuck up, which is more of an annoyance to me than a true criticism. If the democratic party had someone, anyone, who remotely resembled a sane and rational person promoting policies which could actually be implemented, that person would beat Trump by double digits. As it is we can expect to be given a choice between a carnival barking bullshit artist and a delusional leftist who is more concerned about pronouns than anything which is relevant to the average American. IOW, we're fucked.
Pff.. what do you mean you don't know what point I'm trying to make? You said this: I answered with that map. Key words there Tony... "local economies". Do you not see all that red?!. What, you think this mass of the country is vacant f'ing land?!!! And this.... I'm sure they did.... but you are conveniently disregarding this.... the beloved mantra of your beloved left... The top 0.1% own about as much as the bottom 90%. And they're right. The United States is NOT just California. That giant red area is not just some vast red void Tony. Its filled with real people with real lives that work real jobs and support real families. Its filled with small business owners that employ millions of people. Those job creators are strong Trump supporters, and if not that.... they are at least strong 'anti-dem' supporters because they know what's up. They work. They know what an over-reaching, over-regulating, over-taxing, government does to small business. It kills it dead. And when small business dies... the American dream dies and we all end up working at WMT for $10/hr. See the irony? You should.... because its there bigger than f. You want higher wages but you want to kill those that have the opportunity to provide them. Yeah. That makes perfect sense. AOC for president.
You continually throw that meme around as if it has some bearing on the next election. It had more to do with the dynamics of the individual races than some implied blue wave. You fail to acknowledge that the left lost ground in the Senate. I have not heard anyone predicting a Democratic landslide again in the house, more to the opposite there’s a better chance they lose the House 2020.
Dems won 23 of 33 Senate races in 2018. Some of the races they won are Pennsylvania,Wisconsin,Michigan,Nevada,Virginia ,Minnesota ,Arizona and Ohio.
https://www.cnn.com/2019/08/26/politics/sean-duffy-republican-retirements/index.html Here's why members of the House GOP keep abandoning ship Analysis by Chris Cillizza, CNN Editor-at-large (CNN)On Monday, Wisconsin Rep. Sean Duffy became the twelfth House Republican to announce he would not seek reelection in 2020, a telling indication of the struggles within the minority party in the House as it grapples with a decided lack of legislative power and the electoral uncertainties created by President Donald Trump. Although the 2020 election is still more than 14 months away, there are already four times as many Republicans leaving the House as there are Democrats. As interesting, only two of the 12 Republicans who have announced they are either retiring at the end of their terms or, in Duffy's case, resigning before their terms end, are leaving to run for higher office. The other 10 are simply walking away from politics entirely -- at least for the next two years. https://www.axios.com/texas-republicans-retirements-2020-837d4d98-ab51-4025-8784-761be418a6e0.html Texas Republicans admit there's a problem The retirement of six House Republicans from Texas at the end of this term shows their pessimism about winning back the House majority in 2020, GOP strategists tell Axios — and foreshadows bigger Republican fears in the nation's second most populous state. The big picture: The GOP recognizes they can no longer ignore their Democratic opponents and count on coasting to re-election in this previously-reliable red state.
How many seats did they hold before the election and after? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_United_States_Senate_elections
