      Why on Earth are people surprised? How many times do I have to tell you people that the current Republican party bears little resemblance to the one of our youth? Way too many of you posters sound like Beltway pundits, still waiting for the Reagan-Bush I-Dole-Baker crowd to reassert themselves while never asking why they've been silent for so long. All these people are either elderly or dead. Trump-Cruz-Carson IS modern Gooper conservatism. To the core.

      If 75% of Republicans think the Muslim religion is incompatible with American values, why would Trump's comments hurt him in the polls?

        I think I work with your share, because those numbers sound low for my building of about 500 people.

          Same here.

          Many of my co-workers have had nothing but a steady diet of Fox and Rush et al for decades. They live in a parallel universe. Having worked beside them for a decade this is no longer shocking or appalling. They are the captives of a highly lucrative industry, milking them for political donations, books, and especially weapon sales. Meanwhile many of them are living paycheck to paycheck for mortgage and tuition (invariably to private religious schools which indoctrinate the next generation).

          There is absolutely no reason why these people would know better or think differently. Their entire worldview is consolidated within a corporate bubble of misinformation, and they lack the basic critical skills to test their hypotheses or fact check their assumptions because those skills were not taught to them in homeschooling. They aren't stupid. They're prisoners of an authoritarian mental horizon.

          The Echo Chamber is many things -- primarily it is a business -- but it displays all the characteristics of a cult. And like any good cult, there is no way "inside" the cult members' heads, because all those routes circle back to the cult leaders.

              Re: Campaign 2016 - I'm Biden my time till I doctor the hearing.

              Bernie's morning note to his donors:

              I want to say a few things about Donald Trump and specifically about his comments tonight that we should ban all Muslims from coming to the United States, even American Muslims returning home from overseas.

              It's fun for the political media to treat Donald Trump like he's the lead character in a soap opera or the star player on a baseball team. But the truth is his language is dangerous, especially as it empowers his supporters to act out against Muslims, Latinos, and African-Americans.

              Poll after poll shows that I am the candidate best suited to take on Donald Trump and every other Republican running for president.

              Help me show the best of America -- not the worst that Trump exemplifies. Help us win.

              Donate $3 to our campaign now to condemn Donald Trump's hate and racism.

              The United States is a great nation when we stand together, but we are weak when we allow racism and xenophobia to divide us. So let's send a message that we stand together.

                Why are your CNN newsroom co-workers watching Fox?

                Moving on, the so-called denouncements of Trump's comments by his rivals for the nomination are pretty weak. If they won't take on a buffoon, how are they going to face down ISIS and/or Putin?

                  Not MD, NoVa. People here think MD is a People's Republic.

                  I assumed is was endemic to the whole industry. Ex-mil, lower middle class, no (real) college, rural, evangelical, gun crazy, work bench "engineering." This is the central artery of the Echo Chamber's non-Deep South franchise.

                  I know two things about El Segundo. A college friend worked a summer internship at Hughes in 1982, and this.

                    Dick Cheney condemns Trump's comments by saying (paraphrasing): "It's un-American to ban a religion. Many of my own ancestors were Puritans looking for a place to practice their religion freely. There wasn't anybody here then when they came*, but the tradition stands..."

                      But the point stands, when you're making Dick Cheney look compassionate, it's time to check yourself.

                          Yes, lots of commuters from Warrenton and Culpepper and points further south. My PM lives in Orange, and there was a guy from another program who drove up 3x a week from Luray.

                          Fairfax is sane and educated now -- everyone there is from New York and pretty much all the herpa-derp has been cleared out. Loudon has become the new battleground, with hillbillies gradually getting pushed out by prices. It may hold the line, though, because there's a fairly large horsey set contingent out there who are single issue voters: abolish the estate tax. I'm sure they're all descendants of the Lees. I think Grisham and Duvall live out there, to give you an idea of the SES.

                            Yup, my mom is in Ashburn and it's essentially Fairfax now. Even my old stomping grounds of Haymarket and northern PWC go Democratic in presidential elections now, which seemed **** near impossible 10 years ago.

                              El Segundo is pretty nice as well as the beach areas south of it, I have to go to LA Air Force Base every now and then for work. I've considered moving there but trying for San Diego area first. As far as the people that fall into that demo, you're understating it. Many here hit a lot of those demographic points, but there are many that are highly educated as well. Air Force Academy grads, retired Air Force and Army Colonels, it is no where close to limited to ex-enlisted.

                                It doesn't take much. I'd believe those numbers around here if you replaced 'Islam' with 'being black' because a few people blocked some traffic a couple times.
