1) Ok, my thoughts on why the DemoKKKrats as a party and the left are in massive trouble.
2) Realize this doesn't show up immediately. The Federalists were done by 1812, but they still ran a few candidates by 1817, and they didn't have the mass media on their side the way Ds do
3) Slowly, either Trump has pushed the Left/DemoKKKrats---or they have allowed themselves to be pushed---into "position corners" These include public support for ISIS, illegals, Iran, and against a deal with North Korea.
These "corners" include public support for violence vs. Rs
4) There is more to it than being confined to these nutball corners.
In 2012, Zero's campaign team made a deliberate decision NOT to even bother with white middle class and working class people. They thought a combo of ultra rich, ultra poor, and minorities would win.
5) Zero lost a couple of states he carried in 2008, and several million voters, but no one bothered to take that seriously because, after all, they were liberals. They had all the answers.
6) Funny thing: since Obamacare, they almost totally quit even looking for answers.
7) DemoKKKrats' approach to the midwestern industrial working groups was to completely ignore them.
8) Worse, their approach to blacks was to quit working on ANY policy solutions for crime or unemployment.
9) Instead, they simply turned up the aggrieved volume higher.
10) For the first time since Reagan in 1980, blacks began to reconsider their support for DemoKKKrats in 2016. It wasn't much---about 3% stayed home from the 2012 levels---but it was enough to help flip FL, NC, PA, MI, and WI.
11) Currently, as @SHEPMJS continues to point out
11) contd . . black approval of Donald Trump has fluctuated between a low of 6% and highs of 17%. If one includes the "don't know" as "shy Trump" supporters, Trump is already over 20% with this group.
That number is absolutely untenable for DemoKKKrats. They need 90%.
12) Trump's superb work in restoring the US economy & with it black and Hispanic jobs has in my view moved that 3% from 2016 from "I" to "R" & added perhaps another 5%, with still more moving from "D" to "I" next time. It's a two-step process.
13) However, Kanye may change that.
14) Having already just given away the white working class vote, DemoKKKrats now are in the process of giving away a significant share of the black vote.
Trust me, pussy hats do not inspire black voters. Neither do soyboy, whining, pimply-faced dicknipple little betaboys.
15) The very groups the DemoKKKrat loonies and their so-called antifa fascist buddies are fronting are the very people who turn off black voters.
16) Now consider Hispanics: by favoring DACA over real immigration reform and border control, the DemoKKKrats guessed wrong again.
17) No, Trump isn't in the majority with Hispanic voters on these issues. He doesn't have to be. He's anywhere from the high 20s to the high 40s, and those are killer numbers for DemoKKKrats.
18) ALL of these trends are reflected in the voter registration stats I post.
18) contd. While except for AZ, I don't think you see a GOP "surge", what you have seen is a massive defection from the DemoKKKrat party. Again, it's a two step process.
Franklin Roosevelt did NOT get the black vote in 1932 but in 1936. First comes abandoning the current party.
19) With the exception of a few absolute loontards, NO ONE wants their country to be unsafe, to be drawn into meaningless foreign wars. And no one wants to be poor except Botoxic and some of her quackjob kookball CA constituents.
20) Therefore, systematically the DemoKKKrats & the left have abandoned both sensible policies & large numbers of their once loyal voters.
21) Their appeal of rage, anger, hate, & "stop Trump" lasts about six months, and began to peter out late last year.
22) At some point--and we're seeing it now--people say, "Trump is the president, and if he doesn't succeed, it hurts me."
The flip side is the DemoKKKrats have to show how "hating Trump" actually benefits any of these people. And they can't.
23) Therefore, I think we are in the early stages of a massive, and total, meltdown and collapse of the left who are totally bereft of any real ideas, lack any real solutions, and don't even have a "feel good" message like "hope and change."
Baby Luke is SO handsome and STILL looks just like Grampa POTUS!!
The El Paso desert is the Chihuahuan Desert.
What part were you in?
I have family out that way.
I love the mountains and the sunsets.....oh....and the Mexican food :)
I’ve seen the Vitamin E that looks like lipstick.
Now, I’ll have to be on the lookout for the cocoa butter lipstick :)
I’m just catching up, here.....what happened to Clooney?
Great summary/synopsis of the state of the Dims, by our own LS.
They’ve given us so much to run against them on, for midterms....and beyond.
Clooney crashed his motor scooter into a car, going 60 m/p/h.
I thought so too, why I brought it here.

John McCain is a selfish, angry, tired, and sick old man. He hates Trump. He purports to be a patriot. He’s anything but.
Michael J. Morrison @OfficeOfMike
John McCain not stepping down to allow the Arizona Governor to replace him, is one of the most unpatriotic acts I've seen in a while.
He's literally a useless tool holding his seat prisoner.
Yikes.
Here in the US? Or, in his adopted home of Italy?
Mouthing the B word, my gosh., maybe he was saying he thought she was “bitchen”...
Actor George Clooney slammed his motorbike into an oncoming car that turned suddenly into his lane Tuesday and was thrown several meters (yards) in the air on the Italian island of Sardinia, according to video of the crash.
“He is recovering at his home and will be fine,” Clooney spokesman Stan Rosenfield told The Associated Press in an email.
Have a great evening....
Off to read.
I see granny has caught you up on the George Clooney thing. Her first comment was adorable, George Clooney hit a car, and she hoped the car was OK.
I was born and raised in El Paso. Yeah, the view of the mountains was beautiful. And the desert has its own subtle beauty, you just have to look for it. And I miss Grigg’s restaurant! I notice it has since closed. And that’s not really a Mexican name, but they had awesome food. I miss the flat enchiladas. Couldn’t find those anywhere in California, it must be a New Mexico thing. When we moved to East Texas I didn’t see them there either. That had a totally different variety of Mexican food.
Thanks, Gran. You too!!
This just in (Hannity) Lisa Page will NOT testify to Congress and will defy her subpoena.
LOCK HER UP!!
"John McCain not stepping down to allow the Arizona Governor to replace him, is one of the most unpatriotic acts I've seen in a while.

Amen
I remember Griggs!!
There were two locations, one on the west side and one on the east side.
We attended a rehearsal dinner, at the one on the west side.
I wonder if you went to any of the same schools that my cousins did. Too funny. Small world.
