    Agree, I think they are the fastest growing segment already. They just need equal platforms with the media and debates.

    It pains me to quote Hillary Clinton - but she was right, the Trump administration has allowed the deplorable to show their true colors everywhere encouraged by an administration that delights in this chaos. I suspect they are going to fail spectacularly sooner or later and the many crimes of this administration will come to light when they no longer have the president, DOJ and republican senate standing in the way of shining a light on it. A lot of decent conservatives will want to distance themselves as much as possible from these people - and as I said, my prediction is that one of 2 things will happen - the GOP will have to change dramatically or an alternative to the GOP will come relegating the current GOP to it's tea party hard right nuts core.

    I think a lot of Trump's bluster about not accepting election results if he loses is a ploy to get a promise from the incoming administration to not investigate or prosecute him or his family.

    And I see the dems agreeing to this, go quietly and we'll leave you alone.

    What's more important, fixing the problems or punishing the person who created them?

    Remember in this scenario you have a 77yr old as your leader. Does he really have the energy and focus for both?

    It will come down to his cabinet (if he wins, lol.) If it's more old white people there won't be much of anything getting done.

    I think Joe will probably build a cabinet of women candidates he ran against...Kamala will be a great Dick Cheney for Alfred the butler Biden.....Joe will smile, listen, be amicable and take power naps when needed....Harris, Warren, Klobuchar, Rice and Abrams will probably do the heavy lifting for the resident senior citizen....Joe is the Dems version of Kaleb Canales after Nate was fired.....

    He focuses on trying to repair Trump’s damages and turns his former prosecutor Vice President loose to dog Donnie until the end of his days, or the end of her term, whichever comes first. Donald Trump needs to be held accountable for the harm he has caused American citizens. And letting him off the hook would take national morale even lower than it already is.

    a light result to me would be freezing his assets and sending him into exile while revoking his citizenship...but I'm an easy going guy
    An alternative would be arrest him and require community service on the border taking down the wall with hack saw one metal barb at a time....and be overseen by Mexican border guards.....it's only 400 miles of desert steel! He's a tough cream puff!

    That last bit isn't true. Pollsters definitely are not expecting election day demographics to be the same as early voting.

    People procrastinate doing shit until the last minute from all political landscapes....proof....Christmas shopping....it's not an exclusive GOP practice to wait until the last minute unless it's a stimulus package deal

    ALEC has been sued in the past about vote suppression legislation. they will use legislatures at the state level to challenge the vote. remember the Koch Bros? exxon mobile, sw airlines, UPS and chevron are among the corporations that have been donors and/or sponsored the group in the past. it is quite nefarious in their intentions. money quote-"Trump, meanwhile, is willing to “outsource” much of the strategy and policy development to groups like ALEC to strengthen right-wing power", Hertel-Fernandez said.

    The corporate "republican" coup is about to happen. And democracy dies.

    There's always been voter suppression but this election has brought out huge increases in demographics that traditionally don't bother...read there's a 35 % increase in the southern black male vote this year ...that's a big leap

    These dumbshits blocking freeways with their caravans...and nobody stopping them is insane. If the caravans were black people or Hispanic my god. But nope, just a bunch of angry white idiots so police are good with it.
