Hitllary should have not been a close election. That told us all we need to know. Then we gave the House to the dems.

for what it’t worth:

Wikipedia: Paul Gottfried

Gottfried is also the first person to use the term “alternative right”, when referring specifically to developments within American right-wing politics, in 2008.Richard B. Spencer co-created the term with Gottfried while working together at Taki’s Magazine and helped it to gain wide currency through media attention surrounding conferences organized by his think tank, the National Policy Institute...

Anything but. Gottfried has been complaining about high immigration rates for over a quarter century, while plenty of sheep were voting for Bush.

And he's right. Trump got 45% of the vote last time. While he may win reelection, he doesn't have the overwhelming support that some people think he has.

"the American Conservative" …. isn't what its name might lead you to think- quite the opposite. It's the site that puts crap on it from Gareth Porter: Gareth Porter ... was active as a Vietnam specialist and anti-war activist during the Vietnam War, serving as Saigon Bureau Chief for Dispatch News Service International from 1970–1971, and later, as co-director of the Indochina Resource Center. ...

Gareth Porter and G.C. Hildebrand of the Indochina Resource Center insisted that Pol Pot's horrendous cruelties ``saved the lives of tens of thousands of people.''

I'm afraid the demographics bear him out.

The only reason Hollande was elected was because that country now has a critical mass of Muslim voters.

Even if the FN could escape the stigma attached to it by the political elite in France, I don't think it would matter.

There's already a working majority of anti-French/anti-white Europeans in the electorate.

But according a nationwide poll by The Hill …
Steaming pile.

Arguments based on polling data are inherently weak. Without knowing who was polled, what the questions were, and how the raw data was analyzed, the polling he cites doesn’t really establish anything.

Tell the author that some cocky overoptimism is better than running away and doing nothing.

He’s old and it sound like to me he’s given up. He needs to stay away from the key board.
