2018 Midterm Elections

You seem to be the one going after specks.

This is curious. You accuse one half of the population of being responsible for our decline...but I'm going after specks? How exactly am I going after "specks?"

But like I said, despite liberalism and the requisite negativity and self-loathing that comes with it, America and its people are still exceptional. You can be ordinary if you wish.

Interesting - I don't know a single liberal who is self-loathing (though some are increasingly negative about the path this country is on). I do know a lot who thinks the right shows those exact characteristics. Likewise, I don't know a single conservative who is self-loathing (though many are unhappy with the path this country is on). It's amazing how each side sees the other in almost the exact same terms.

You could say I find it downright...sad!

Well we can't really generalize about the exeptionalism of the American people, Sparko. After all they were stupid enough to fall for, and elect, an unlawful wannabe dictator who wants to take down western democracy.

If you are going to mock exceptionalism and call other people stupid, JimL, at least learn how to spell it.

It isn't mispelling that makes a person stupid, Sparko, but being conned into voting for Trump as your President, now that was truly stupid.

Yeah, it sure was. Stupid of Hillary to con America into voting for Trump the way she did.

Doesn't matter what your stupid excuse was, it was stupid nontheless. The base deplorables of course will never admit to that, or agree with it, but it seems that the more sensible of those who voted for him are realizing their mistake.

Hillary made me vote for Trump. Blame her.

I can picture you foaming at the mouth with barely contained rage as you type this stuff.

It just makes Trump's honest victory all the sweeter.

It's all in your head, MM. Have you ever sought help for that?

Don't encourage his solipsism.

Thanks for providing the sole edification possible from a Jim/MM exchange.

(I think I used to know the definition of that word - but the brain cells were VERY dusty...I had to go to my dictionary)

I almost voted for Obama the first time he ran.

But I don't have a clue who the democrats could have put up instead of Hillary this time that I would have voted for. Certainly not Sanders. Actually this election I didn't see too any really good candidates on either side. I sort of liked Kasich, but I didn't really know much about him (or the other republican or democrat candidates) - but he made sense when he spoke and seemed like a reasonable person who held the same values I did as part of his campaign and platform. But on the Democrat side, I can't even recall any of the early candidates, and Sanders was a socialist nutjob so I would have voted Hillary over him. But Hillary herself was just so dishonest and her personality just grates on me like fingernails on a chalkboard. I had to vote for Trump. She made me.
