'Best thing would be to get some fresh blood in there'

Exactly what ppl were thinking when they voted for Trump.

When you put it that way

 

[seandon23]

I hope it does happen but we still keep putting too much faith in the same cats over and over as if they will change. Best thing would be to get fresh blood in there but that's easier said than done. When you think about it, the baby boomers control our country, and many of em are out of touch.

i do wish it does happen but people are so misinformed when it comes to these things that its frustrating people dont vote. i hope people do come out for 2018 but what we need is to have Dems have a majority. they will fall in line with much of their party ideology as the republicans are doing with Trump. they cant really do much currently but its not like they need to because this administration has no problems making fools of themselves

USA TODAY ‏@USATODAY 1m1 minute ago

This is the first time in U.S. history that a VP was called to break a tie over a presidential Cabinet nominationhttp://usat.ly/2jZ0y7b  

 

[rolaholic]

What Pence did in breaking the tie on his own nominee is unprecedented :x

"Can't get any worse"

"What do they have to lose?"

"They're both the same."

The Dems could win back the House in 2018 if the map was fair, but it is gerrymandered to hell so at best they might win a couple seats.

The Senate map look horrible, they are really just trying to avoid the GOP getting a super-majority. 2020 does not even look that good either, even though it is much better.

Then you got the people that don't even know (the importance of them) or care about midterm elections. The classic example is the "Obama didn't do anything, and I voted for him twice" dudes. Ask them if they voted in midterms, and 9 times out of 10 they didn't. They have no idea Congress pass bills too.

Where the Dems will eat if the GOP and Trump continues down the track is Governor race and State Legislators.

Which is very important because if we can getting voter access up, and gerrymandering keeps getting hurt in the courts, that will be great for Team blue come 2020.

that's the main problem, people are uninformed and refuse to educate themselves. Not saying you have to know everything about what's going on but educate yourself enough to make a decision based off of what you've learned and not based off of what your party says or what someone else tells you. Funny thing is, all these small rural towns are going to be hurt the worse by shorty and they'll still find a way to blame liberals.

We have a secretary of education that knows nothing about and dislikes public education, because her family donated a lot of money.

 

[AZwildcats]

Can't say I'm shocked she got confirmed, the GOP is a diagrace

Zero damns given in front of the cams whatsover

@SteveKopack: Sheriff tells Trump that state senator is doing something he doesn't like

Trump: "Do you want to give his name? We'll destroy his career." https://t.co/75y3t9zc54

Let's stop sugar-coating this. This isn't just a clown.

Make no mistake: we're up against evil.

Amnesty: Up to 13,000 Hanged in Syria's 'Slaughterhouse'

https://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2017/02/07/world/middleeast/ap-ml-syria-mass-hangings.html

The Syrian prison was known to detainees as "the slaughterhouse." Behind its closed doors, the military police hanged as many of 13,000 people over the course of four years before carting out their bodies by the truckload for burial in mass graves, according to a new report issued by Amnesty International.

"There are a lot of killers. You think our country's so innocent?"

=A president who had to pay $25M to victims he scammed through his fake university successfully auctioned off the US Dept of Education. Cool

An example of delusional voters

Trump doesn't want to raise the minimum wage, so why would he care about bringing higher paying jobs to your area?

What in the world made them think he was for the poor?

"I hope [Trump] don't take the benefits away, but at the same time, I think that once more jobs come in a lot of people won't need the benefits," says Hayes, who currently receives about $500 a month from government assistance. She's also on Obamacare.
