There's one thing I like about Donald Trump

He’s 72 years old. There’s a good chance I’ll be around when he dies. I’ll celebrate as hard as I’ve cried.

I’ve never felt this way about anyone else before.

2018 Exit Polls: White Voters Abandon the GOP

Looking at the 2018 Exit Polls three numbers stand out

1. The GOP lead amongst White Voters halved from 20 points (Romney/2012, Trump/2016) to 10 : 54-44%

2. Women turned against the GOP in unpredecended numbers. Democrats won the female vote by 19 points : 59-40%

3. The GOP is not losing Hispanic Voters. 28% voted for Romney and Trump. 28% pulled the GOP lever again this year.

My conclusions are as follows: The Kavanaugh’s confirmation was every bit as damaging to the GOP with women as it appeared at the time. The GOP won male voters by 51-47%

The Invasion Panic may have cut Republican losses with Whites but it cost them little with Hispanics. I think the reason is clear enough: New immigrants directly compete for the jobs held by Latinos voters.

Finally, the GOTV with minorities was relatively successful (contrary to my earlier post). The proportion of Non White voters at this years midterms 28% matches the last three Presidential elections.

538 Exit Polls: 51% of Voters were White 45yrs +

The only demographic the GOP won big time.

A total 74% of The Vote was White
= Another Huge GOTV Failure

Beto was a weak candidate

Gillum was a weak candidate
The Clintons (both of them) were weak candidates



These days they wouldn’t have to shoot RFK in the head. A minor tweak to the voting machines would suffice.

When will we learn? I am living in a country - Australia- that would never think of giving up their paper ballots. Ask them about voting machines in GErmany.

'I work in the automotive industry. Trump's policies help me, help my family'

Live blog: Midterm election 2018 updates, news and analysis

"I work in the automotive industry and a lot of his policies actually help me, they help me and my family," he said. "The economy is great. The EPA rollbacks help us."

Patrick Eric Toth, a 51-year-old Michigan autoworker, told NBC News he voted for Democrats on Tuesday because Trump's anti-immigration rhetoric repelled him and Republicans haven't held the president accountable.

“I don't agree with the immigration stance. I don't. I think sending 15,000 troops to the border for these people coming from Honduras is embarrassing. I think that he lies. It's important to me."

"My wife is going to be upset that I canceled out her vote but I'd do it again," he said. "It's just important to me that somebody, as important as the president, is respectable and I don't think he is."

For DU'ers old enough to remember 'compare & contrast' Trump with Nixon

Not a traitor I guess. Trump is a dumb Nixon on steroids?

Nazis say 'Trump has woken the giant'

‘Strumfront’ (I am not going to use it’s web name) celebrated Trump calling himelf a Nationalist. Hurrah. Legitimacy for ‘supremacists’, a seat a the table, a gun at the Synagogue

It’s as if, the political pendulum swung so far to the left over the past few decades, that it’s finally swinging back to the right. Trump alone is proof of that fact. We as White Nationalists should be optimistic of the future as the momentum is in our favor. White America is beginning to awaken!

AGREE 100%!!! Trump has woken the giant!


‘Tomorrow belongs to me’

Trump Calls National Emergency

I am bringing out the military for this National Emergency. They will be stopped!

I flagged this as a potential Reichstag event and was howled down. Trump follows the NSDAP playbook to the letter. What I fear is a Border Incident - an ‘unintentional’ incursion into Mexican territory that sparks a major diplomatic crisis wiping everything else off the front page (other than Wall Street).
