    I think you mean Andrew Jackson Jimmy, but considering he is the founder of the Democrat party, I thought you would have liked him more.

      You would think Jimmy would love the founder of the Democrat party, but I guess his TV didn’t tell him that little detail.

And of course the MSM which until the Democrats matched them was even more to the left, is nothing more than an amen corner for them.
        Which is a major reason for their 2016 loss. They failed to connect to the working class in key areas, assuming they had their vote already locked in. You would think that they would have learned their lesson, but I guess not.

          Since when did Andrew Jackson found the Democrats? He may have started its association with the working class, and changed it in significant ways, but the Democrats (initially known as Democrat-Republicans) were around from the beginning.

            The founding of the modern Democrat party is traced to 1828, with Andrew Jackson as their first president.

            After Andrew Jackson lost to John Quincy Adams in the election of 1824, Jackson's supporters created their own organization to get him elected. After Jackson's election in 1828, that organization became known as the Democratic Party. The National Republicans eventually coalesced into the Whig Party.

            Granted, I should have said Jackson’s supporters, but he still is an important figure in US political history and the reason the modern Democrat party exist today. He was the first populist president and caused quite a stir in his era, even fracturing his party and having a new one formed to get him elected. I can see why Trump would like him, since they both are boat rockers that shook up the political landscape.

              The Democrats have long held up Jackson as one of their founders. In fact, according to Wikipedia:

              Source: Democrat Party (United States)


              Tracing its heritage back to Thomas Jefferson and James Madison's Democratic-Republican Party, the modern-day Democratic Party was founded around 1828 by supporters of Andrew Jackson, making it the world's oldest active political party


              Source

              Considering Thomas Jefferson's beliefs concerning limited government (especially the federal government), tracing their roots back to him has always been a stretch.

              Anywho... From their article "History of the United States Democratic Party"




              From History.com:

              Source: Democratic Party


              JACKSONIAN DEMOCRATS

              In the highly controversial presidential election of 1824, four Democratic-Republican candidates ran against each other. Though Andrew Jackson won the popular vote and 99 electoral votes, the lack of an electoral majority threw the election to the House of Representatives, which ended up giving the victory to John Quincy Adams.

              In response, New York Senator Martin van Buren helped build a new political organization, the Democratic Party, to back Jackson, who defeated Adams easily in 1828.

                No, I mean Andrew Johnson. Like Trump, he considered himself to be above the law.

                    Trump’s favorite president is Andrew Jackson, not Andrew Johnson. It’s a shame that congress, under Johnson, acted just as lawless, isn’t it?

                        Well, I guess the Democrats should have lied to the working class in the rust belt like Trump and his Russian infiltraitors did and they could have won those 80,000 votes and so the election.

                          How did a few thousand dollars and a few ads almost no one saw, change the election? Keep that tin foil hat securely tight, Jimmy. In reality land, unemployment is at its lowest levels in decades with more jobs than people to fill them. Where was the lie at again?

                            Oh right, my bad, Andrew Jackson, the racist white supremacist. An Apropos hero for Trump.

                              Ha Ha. Paul Manafort didn't give the Russian infiltraitors the polling and targeting data for nothing, Lilpix. Thanks to Trumps campaign manager, the Russians knew exactly what they had to do, and where they had to do it, and they did it. Doesn't it feel good to be a supporter of Putins favorite candidate, Lilpix, the one the Russians worked to help elect.

                              The tin foil hat is a reference to those who believe their own government is out to get them, Lilpix, you know, like Trump supporters, not patriots. As far as the economy goes, as usual, a republican administration inherited the recovery from the Democrat who had to clean up the mess from the last republican administration.

                                Making idiotic statements like that is why nobody takes you seriously, Jimothy.
