The immigration text with the rioting in the background was a bit disgusting. But he is trying to appeal to disgusting people so I guess it works out.

He has been a permanent resident of Missouri for less than a year. In an interview, he refused to talk about his business, a defense consulting firm. To illustrate his Missouri ties, he said his family vacationed in the Ozarks growing up — but he wouldn’t say where.

“Look, I’m not going to talk about family stuff,” he told the Post-Dispatch.

In a 20-minute interview on Monday, Sykes, 37, struggled to answer questions about when the United States should exercise military force. Sykes declined a second interview. But he did send over an 11-page document in a question-and-answer format.

In the document, Sykes criticizes political correctness. He takes aim at modern feminism, praises Breitbart News, derides “Big Media,” belittles the Muslim faith and, in a jab at the nation’s education system, says Detroit “is crawling with uneducated people who can’t read a breakfast menu.”

In his final answer, Sykes responded to the question: “Do you favor women’s rights?”

“Chanel (Rion), my fiancee, has given me orders to favor these rights, so I’d better,” he said. “But Chanel knows that my obedience comes with a small price that she loves to pay anyway — I want to come home to a home-cooked dinner at six every night, one that she fixes.

“It’s exactly the kind of family dinner that I expect one day my future daughters will learn to make after they too become traditional homemakers and family wives — think Norman Rockwell here — and Gloria Steinham (sic) be damned.”

In his document, Sykes also says it’s time for social programs implemented in the 20th century to “go away.” He wants to “stop Muslim immigration cold for now.” He wants to eliminate most U.S. laws. And he says those who work in advertising, lawmaking, law enforcement, lobbying and other fields are part of an industry that “employs millions who drink swamp juice every day.”

Exclusive polls: Big warning signs for Senate Democrats

5 incumbents losing is no way to win the Senate.

BLUE WAVE? Poll Shows Republicans Could Pick Up 9 Senate Seats.

According to new Morning Consult polls, Democrats are in serious trouble in Senate races across the country. Republicans have serious leads in West Virginia, where incumbent Democrat Joe Manchin trails by 14 points; North Dakota, where incumbent Democrat Heidi Heitkamp trails by 8; Indiana, where incumbent Democrat Joe Donnelly trails by 5; Missouri, where incumbent Democrat Claire McCaskill trails by 5; Montana, where incumbent Democrat Jon Tester trails by 5; Florida, where incumbent Democrat Bill Nelson is locked in a near-deadlock with Rick Scott; and Pennsylvania and Ohio, where incumbent Democrats Bill Casey and Sherrod Brown are leading by less than two points each, plus Virginia, where Tim Kaine leads by just 3 on the generic ballot. In the best-case scenario for Republicans, then, they could win up to nine additional Senate seats.

The polls are similarly shoddy in the House of Representatives for Democrats. The RealClearPolitics poll average for the generic ballot has Democrats up 6.7 percent, but the polls are all over the place.

Dems won't take either chamber. You've been listening to your friends on the mainstream media too much.

Glad you're reading threads though.. and posting mainstream media links.

lol @ you and your "mainstream media" stuff.....as if you get your information from anywhere else.

This week’s Reuters/Ipsos Core Political release presents something of an outlier of our trend. Every series of polls has the occasional outlier and in our opinion this is one. So, while we are reporting the findings in the interest of transparency, we will not be announcing the start of a new trend until we have more data to validate this pattern.

Washington, DC - The Reuters/Ipsos Core Political poll has a significant realignment this week across a number of metrics. Most pronounced is President Trump’s approval rating which currently sits at 48% with all Americans. His number with registered voters is essentially the same at 49%. Corresponding with Trump’s stronger approval rating, evaluations of his job performance across the board are stronger this week from 57% approving of his handling of the economy to 44% approving of the way he treats people like them. On the generic congressional ballot, our current poll shows a +5-point advantage for Democrats, the smallest lead we’ve seen in recent weeks.

Americans also report being more happy with the direction of the country in this week’s poll, currently 40% say we are going in the right direction.

America’s political experts got it wrong in 2016 — not because they took too few polls, but because they made the false assumption that American elections are immune to societal change.

They are, in large part, still getting things wrong, not only by failing to understand a new group of voters who put President Donald Trump in the White House but also by ignoring why they voted the way they did.

When explaining the Trump voter, the media usually offers portraits of isolated, uneducated, working-class rubes who are driven by anger, race and nationalism. To the experts and those who didn’t support Trump, it’s hard for them to see it any other way.

And while the media obsesses over the future demise of the president, they aren’t pausing to consider the strength and durability of the coalition that swept him into office.
They aren’t asking why people in the Rust Belt counties who voted for former President Barack Obama twice suddenly switched to Trump.

But they should. Because Trump was not the cause of this movement, he was the result of it. In order to fully appreciate his rise to the White House, you need focus on the people who put him there.

She has taken anecdotal stories of people who “switched” a vote because of their life ituation and throw that blanket across America. My god.  

Here are facts and statistics:

Voter turnout this year dipped to nearly its lowest point in two decades.

While election officials are still tabulating ballots, the 126 million votes already counted means about 55% of voting age citizens cast ballots this year.

That measure of turnout is the lowest in a presidential election since 1996, when 53.5% of voting-age citizens turned out”.

People on the left were not “switching”, THEY WERENT voting. They hated Hills and were bummed Obama was done.
THEY
DID
NOT
VOTE

No motivation.  Had they got off their ass and voted, we’d be having impeachment hearings over Benghazi and stupid articles like this wouldn’t be written.

It’s like Michigan football writers after beating a pos opponent glowing about how the new strategy is the greatest thing ever. God, people are dumb.

Let’s just see if people are more motivated next time or, this new ride has really turned before we declare an American tidal wave of change. Right now it’s just loud mouth knucklesraggers shooting their mouths off about a victory that wasn’t that great. Just like obnoxious Michigan fan.

How’d that tide turn in Alabama senates race for her?

Dog young people are finally ready to walk through fucking glass to reject the bullshit people like goose have been pushing for years. They’ll vote now.

I told goose in 2016 that the absolute worst thing that could happen to republicans is winning that year and I don’t think he believed me but he’s about to find out that I’m way smarter than he is.

That and stupid people that don't know what's good for them.

That and those darned racists that voted twice for Obama then Trump.
