For all of their losses, Hillary still had a strong showing; the left is regrouping, not collapsing.
“Leftist politicians supposed that ordinary voters with modest incomes facing hard times would believe that regulation and redistribution would help them. Evidently most don’t.”
Considering that the right this election cycle offered them “big government” economic policies also, but in a more entertaining way than the left, the validity of Barone’s statement remains to be seen. By the way, is it all right to point out how far left we have moved lately, or are we supposed to continue to march in lock step.
But there is a new generation of Lefties--led by the Castro brothers (Joaquin and Julian) from Texas and Gavin Newsom from California.
Every liberal is a totalitarian thug.

People all over the world are throwing off the shackles of their oppressors.

Citizens are standing up. The finest Americans have voted.
HOORAY Donald J. Trump. Thank you, sir.
I believe Americans and other non globalists are going to be in power all across the globe.
The left still has a firm grip on the press, academia and much of the judiciary.
At least for now, SCOTUS will not lurch any further left and with all the GOP governors and legislatures, state courts should not either.
The huge challenges will be academia and the press.
It will never happen. We'll always have evil and stupidity.
Best of all, thanks to Obama, Democrats hold fewer elective offices than at any time since the 1920s.
The rest of the globe seem to be following suit...after all, they met this jerk at all the global conferences....and left stunned that he could be elected to anything.
And this will only intensify their push to legalize illegals and to expand the numbers allowed to come. Without an expanding number of people dependent on government, the left would be a fraction of its size.
Get the left to buy in to America first. Change the location of the battlefield, keep the appearance of a fight going.
Politics is downstream from culture. It will take a concerted multiyear effort to reconquer the culture and education from the Left.
No collapse. Now they own the Democrat Party, all of it.
I will consider the left “collapsed” whwn we throw the last leftist’S dead body in to the same grave with the last Muslim’s dead body and I can piss on both of them before they fill it with pork and concrete!
However...... the popular vote was lost. That means that a whisper of dissent can be amplified into a shout that reverberates into the solid red zone. The nation is so evenly divided that the wonderful change has no depth come a future election.
So long as the left exists, the left will persist
$oros ain’t broke yet, his dirty money is still out there. The dem-enemy was brought low. Like a cornered animal they will fight back.
It would have helped the proles (in the short term before capital stock was exhausted) if they had indeed redistributed some wealth.
Unfortunately, yet another generation of "useful idiots" discovered the hard way that once elected on false promises, leftists always raid the public treasury for **themselves**.
This pattern has repeated itself many times over history, yet every generation has to learn the same life lessons firsthand.
My only criticism of Trump so far is that he has not strongly advocated drastically reducing the size of government. Or did I miss something?
We're rejecting corrupt 'elite' policies... it's not JUST BIG GOVERNMENT - IT'S GOVERNMENT RUN FOR THE BENEFIT OF CORRUPT ELITE INSIDERS.

JimRed - you're confusing Trump with Paul Ryan... Three ways to deal with debt/prosperity - either earn more, spend less, or both... Paul Ryan's a 'spend less'. Thump's an 'earn more' and 'both'.
