Let's get back to ignoring Bracco and discussing the travel ban. Or, would our resident Liberals prefer to discuss the impending tax reform?
Someone getting things done without playing political games - gotta love it. Hopefully it becomes a trend.

have you actually read the proposal? what exactly do you think it accomplished? Did you see how they ****** up in their rush?

So you're saying that the Repubs are treating taxes the way Dems treated Health care?

why did you capitalize health?

Good Lord man, again you're so desperate that you're worrying about criticizing Capitalization? That's absolutely freakin' hilarious and shows the depths that you will stoop to TRY to have something to whine about.

The ACA was passed in the middle of the night with a back-room vote. Nothing but good, solid politics (or is it Politics?) there, right?

Both Parties (pretty sure that one's correct) currently s*ck, and most non-extremists will admit that. The hatred and stupidity so many Dems are spewing is still causing more and more people to join me in not only leaving the Party, but campaign against it. That's one of those dreaded "FACTS" people like you try to avoid or twist, but it is what it is - undeniable, documented, truth. Dems should really start worrying about that instead of innuendo, what-ifs and lies.

those pesky facts


The percentage of Americans who consider themselves Republican or lean that way has dropped since Donald Trump was elected president, a Gallup poll found. Those identifying with the Democratic Party have held steady.

The percentage of people who identify as or lean Republican has fallen 5 points from 42 percent of the population to 37 percent, according to the poll comparing November 2016 with November 2017, which was released last week. The percentage of voters identifying as Democratic has remained at 44 percent.

The most dramatic dip for Republican numbers was among white women: The percentage identifying with the Republican Party fell 5 points from 37 percent to just 32 percent over a year, according to an NBC News report, which further broke down Gallup’s data by demographics.

The number of Hispanics who identify with the GOP has dropped 3 percent. Intriguingly, there has been a 1 percent increase in African Americans who identify with the GOP, Gallup found. But that number was extremely low to begin with: Only 10 percent of black Americans considered themselves Republicans a year ago.

College graduates saw a 4-point dip in identification with the GOP, while those without a bachelor’s degree saw a 5-point drop.

There are now more Americans who consider themselves independents with no leanings toward either party (14 percent, compared with 10 percent a year ago), or do not have an opinion (5 percent, compared with 4 percent last year), Gallup found.

Those identifying with the Democratic Party have maintained an edge over followers of the rival party throughout the year from 5 to 9 points because GOP affiliation has dropped.

The percentage of those who consider themselves Democrats or leaning that way has led or tied those identifying as Republican for the past ten years.

The latest figures, based on Gallup Daily tracking interviewing throughout November, are based on information from more than 14,000 American adults.

Interesting, but not shocking. It's kind of situation where people enjoyed the entertainment of his narcissism through the election and now they're bored with it.

Who will the Dems run that will entice me to vote that way? The last time I voted Dem was for Gore in the hanging chad election. Taint, please tell me who your party will run?

• Sanders = will not get my vote
• Booker - NFW
• Warren - NFW * 1000x

So you say, why do I care who you vote for? You are one person. Well I will tell you this, I am a 40 year old white collar professional and I work in corporate banking dealing with multiple persons throughout the country and I would say at worst 90% share my views on this matter. This is the silent majority and these are the people that got Trump elected along with the blue collar workers in the Rust Belt. I am an independent and will gladly vote for the best candidate that I consider to be best in my subjective opinion. But HRC was not that candidate. I am sure you heard people say "I voted ABC"...anyone but Clinton. So you tell me, Jeff, who will the Dems run in your humble opinion that will get me and millions like me to shift and vote Dem? Because the way I see it, the Dem party is out of touch with reality and is slowly moving toward a Socialist party and I don't believe anyone in their right mind wants that.

I patiently await your answer.

Lastly, have we not learned not to believe in polls after the last election?

We all know polls are never wrong. Nice to see you Dems still put so much faith in them.

As it was when I told all you that Trump would win PA, I speak from what I hear and see as part of living, not from what I'm told by any "News" service. That seems to work-out better and better for me all the time.

cccp is dead-on. Dems need to stop trying to bash and belittle Trump and other Repubs, and start worrying about their own future, because right now that future has no direction and no leader.

Not all that long ago the Repugnicans had 17 folks standing on a stage vying to be the "leader" of the party.
The "process" produced Donald J. Trump as leader of the Repugnican Party. No one qustions who the leader of the Repugnicans is (now) these days.

Whether you feel "proud" of that fact or dismayed (in Rumpspeak "Sad!") it is what it is.

Who knows who will emerge within 2 + years? Maybe all3 will learn what kind of government we have and run hisself. He'd likely be better than what we have.........

Maybe Liberals will stop being so stubborn and stop trying to get everyone to believe everything exactly as they do, even when it's simple semantics that even the most renowned experts disagree on, so they can get a candidate. Yeah, right; and maybe we'll have World peace too.

Imagine........... said the dead Beatle...........

I'm not sure who it will be yet. This far out, no-one would have though Obama would be a two term president either. Looking at the party now, I'm not sure who it will be. I'm also not totally beholden to the Democrats as you might think I am. I've voted Republican many times in the past. I'm hoping Dennis Kasich decides to throw his hat in the ring again. Still think he was easily the best choice the last time around.

I'm not a huge believer in polls normally because they usually sample from 500-1000 people. This one was 14,000 and I'm seeing a lot of my conservative friends and family start to question what the hell the Republican party is all about and/or what they are doing. There's still plenty of hardcore Trumpster's, but he has turned off a large portion of people I know who voted for him, especially among military members.

Would you vote for Trump in 2020?

By the way, I voted for Bush in hanging chad election.

It depends who runs against him. If it is Sanders, Warren or Booker then I will if not then I will see what their views are, etc. I live in Liberal MA so my vote will not make a difference. For all the negative publicity he has received the economy is doing well and I like his action in terms of Israel. So those are two positive in my eyes.

Nah. I'm indifferent. I'm about as fair weather of a braves as you can be. I'm guessing you're a Yankees fan.
