Who needs college?  Easy way for young people to get into debt and be shackled to a job they hate....Free market principles need to decrease the price and make higher-education more affordable. Oh yeah let’s legalize weed....duh

This is a joke right?  You think we can compete on the world stage by reducing education levels?  

My God, the jokes are real.

And if the Mueller issue does NOT lead to impeachment, i'm afraid 2020 may be a lock.

Democrats somehow let this guy become the "America First" candidate that is also "protecting the border" and therefore is protecting the country, meanwhile the democrats seem more eager to protect trans bathroom use people..... want a POTUS that protects them, protects the country, and puts America first. Elections really arent that complicated. Dems will fuck this up, I'm convinced of it. 

I believe you are misreading last night's results.  While FL is depressing, by and large everythign else was positive.  We learned:
1. Democratic votes substantially outpaced Republican
2. Midwest states appear to have flipped at some level back to blue, judging by the governorship changes in WI and MI.  Scott Walker losing was huge.  He was elected twice and survived a recall.
3. Women have heavily come over to Democrats
4. Aggressive HOR forecasts were in the 30 to 35 range pick up.  I think we are looking at 33/34.  That's pretty damn good.
5. The GOP is becoming an increasingly white, older and rural party.  Yet the country is becoming more urban, younger and diverse.  Demographics are destiny.  It's not overnight, but it's happening.  

The Senate map in 2020 is flipped.  Republicans have to defend far more seats, many of them in blue states.  

Yeah.

The republicans are hemorrhaging votes from women, suburbanites, independents and minorities. Basing your long term success on uneducated white males is a losing strategy for them....shouldn't this be obvious to everyone looking at this objectively?

And yet 2016 still happened and the GOP still controls the Senate and Governors... this was a normal midterm pendulum swing, not a blue wave

This is my favorite chart in the world.  I hammered this into my kids during the recession.  Check it out.. unemployment for those with a Bachelors or higher never got above 5% during the height of the recession.  By contrast, it was almost 12% for those with only a diploma.

The audience has to care about statistics and facts for something like this to matter. They will just divert to the college students who don't have jobs or are miserable in their career instead.

It's got to be killing him and his advisors....Bannon, little eichmann, gorka, hannity, David Duke, Richard spencer.....that so many women, muslims, and native Americans won seats in the house.

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction...elect 1st african american president? Get a racist president to follow.  Elect a racist president? Elect record numbers of women, minorities and openly gay candidates.

The only people in this country who care about a person’s sexual preference, race, gender or other insignificance is the dems.  People are people to me, i’m still unsure of how the fact that a guy who loves a guy should make me feel a certain way about voting, or because someone is Muslim I should care more or less.

ya’ll love to make it a race or gender issue.  

By the way, as far as the whole immigration issue goes, I feel like everyone always misses the point.  There’s a million people a year that enter our country legally that you never hear a peep about.  People should be able to come here, that’s human and important.  What we conservatives care about is ILLEGAL immigration- we care about laws.

anywho, I thought the midterms went as I thought they would.  Sure I hoped repubs would hold onto the house but I doubted it.  I knew Cruz would win Texas, I assumed tester would lose Montana (is that confirmed yet?) and I figured Florida would be red.  It’ll be interesting to see investigations step up a ton with mueller and the dems unfocused on a platform or politics and entirely focused on dethroning trump.  My guess is the house will not be focused on legislation but rather stopping trump anyway they can.
