I'll say it again. If Trump loses by McCain in 2008 levels, the House is 50/50 to flip. Any more than that and they're in deep doo-doo. Somebody, may have been my incompetent great uncle Karl, was saying that most people in Presidential elections don't necessarily know their Senator or Congressman, they just vote for the (R). If they're not showing up to vote for Trump, they probably aren't going to show up at all. There's just not enough ticket splitting to save these people anymore.

I will admit this. Of all the nonsense Donald Trump has spouted over the past couple of years, his comments directed to the Khan's are the least offensive to me. I know that sounds horrible to say, and strangely enough, those comments may actually be the most offensive to the most people in this country, but they just don't bother me.

The Khan's suffered a horrible loss. But they either chose to, or were suckered by the Clinton campaign into, politicizing that loss and injecting themselves into what has been one of the more deplorable campaigns of our lifetime. Politics is a dirty effing business. Once you decide to wade in, don't cry to me if people say offensive things to you.

Normally I would say you are off your rocker but overall, compared to the rest of the crap he said it barely registers. That is how nutso Drumpf is.

Already setting up the defenses for "He was provoked, so he was justified" when the tape of Trump dropping the 'N'-bomb come next week, I see.

They will do another "Postmortem" and then ignore it. They picked the wrong election to back a guy who isnt qualified to run for dog catcher and is a certifiable nutjob.

From purely a political standpoint, sure. But for have it to spread through the citizens as it has...

Especially when you limit the look back in time- it hasn't been this nasty for quite a while. Regan worked well with a Democratic congress, Nixon passed many environmental rules- NEW- AND went to visit one of our major RED SCARE countries. That was like our current President going to Iran.

Sure there were many things that fell on party lines, but there has been a lot more compromise in the previous 40 years than the last 22.

It seemed like we were past the Civil War's non-bending attitudes.

In the first 204 years of the Republic, the President faced an opposition majority in the Senate only 36.5 of those years, and in the House only 54 years.

In the last 36 years, the President has faced an opposition majority in the Senate 17.5 years, and 26 years in the House. Furthermore, during those 36 years there have been, by my count, only four years where Republicans have controlled the White House and both houses of Congress, and four years where the Democrats did the same. Common control used to be much more prevalent.

There. I said it.
It satisfies the #NeverHillary crew. The #NeverTrump crowd doesn't suffer "Agent Orange" for four years. And the 60% that find Hillary unfavorable and the 67% that find Trump unfavorable would finally have any option besides "Allepo? World leader?" and the Morton County Vandal.

Does that mean it goes to Pence or to someone else? Let's play out your hypothetical, I doubt people would just sit around in anticipation of who the replacement is, they would want to have that decided ahead of time. And this is the GOP so splintered into 10 different groups that Trump was able to come in and get a majority in the first place. The problem isn't that they had a good answer and Trump somehow came in and stole the nomination through trickery; the sad fact of the matter is he is the best solution they could come up with this time around.

Obviously if Trump won and resigned it would go to Pence.

Frankly, if Trump manned up and stepped out now (leaving it to Pence) I wonder if the Rs wouldn't get a bounce better than post-convention. It might actually be a race again.

That's a fair way to interpret the data. I still think the tone changed a LOT in 1992.

I'm not sure what else could be taken away from "It's okay to be racist because that's politics". It's a weak attempt at a defense of the indefensible.

Yeah he dumped that stuff the end of the week last week to no fanfare. He always had nothing and we all knew it.

If tD quit now, the party bosses would pick a new top of the ballot. Would it be Pence or could it be (heaven forbid) Jeb!?
