What Happened? America's Political Axis Tilted. (Is Eugene Robinson retarded?)
Real Clear Politics ^ | September 19, 2017 | Eugene Robinson

Leaders of both major parties are wrong to think of the 2016 election as some kind of fluke. I believe a political realignment is underway, and those who fail to discern its outlines could end up powerless and irrelevant.

With all respect to Hillary Clinton, her newly published memoir, "What Happened," doesn't really tell what happened. It is perhaps inevitable that she would focus on the daily twists and turns of the campaign. It is understandable that she would blame James Comey, Vladimir Putin and the media for damaging her prospects -- and that she would downplay her own strategic and tactical missteps.

But take a step back and look at the election through a wider lens. Clinton, with all her vast experience and proven ability, was defeated by Donald Trump, a reality television star who had never before run for office, displayed near-total ignorance of the issues, broke every rule of political rhetoric and was caught on videotape bragging of how he sexually assaulted random women by grabbing their crotches.....

Eugene Robinson is another far left loon who gets lots of free ink because he spouts the party line, no matter how absurd it is.

Coincidentally, there has never been an accounting of the near 150 tons of gold, and near the same amount in silver, held by the former government of Libya.

There is one and a half truths in that statement. Can you find them?

Maybe because Moore is some kind of religious nut job...

So, a Christian is a "religious nut job"? That sounds like it is directly from a hate-Christian website or blog.

The I did a search "Alabama maybe because Moore is some kind of religious nut job" and the first few results were...lafty blogs and websites.

Donald J. Trump‏Verified account @realDonaldTrump Follow More Looking forward to Friday night in the Great State of Alabama. I am supporting "Big" Luther Strange because he was so loyal & helpful to me! that was what I gathered from a few people on this site. Not one person could tell me WHY Trump was supporting his opponent...

He’s had investigation committees looking at runs for him and even considered the Reform Party ticket in the past.

He’d done more prep for more elections that Obambi ever did.

Not just New York. There's a store near Cincinnati that carries a lot of foreign foods. It's full of people speaking foreign languages.

There's a Honda plant near here. The local Krogers is full of Japanese speakers.

See how things get twisted in the liberal zeal to make their political statements???

We have to go back and watch the tape again.

As I recall, Trump said how these girls “let you grab them etc”. If a girl lets you grab her somewhere, then it’s not sexual assault. It’s only assault if you do something against her will.

So that right there, I would take issue with, if I could talk to Robinson about his opinion here. Where was the sexual assault? It wasn’t there.

Flame away if anybody thinks I’m full of it to bring this up.
