France vs. Russia

As always, the great Ronald Reagan had it right. The Commies are still our enemies, and compared to that, I'll take Paris over Moscow.

Yeah, RINO Tom is probably closer to BRTD and the Democratic party than jfern, especially since he voted for Clinton.

LOL, your conception of the Democratic Party as a bunch of fiscal centrists who sip champagne is just bizarre.  I have nothing in common with the Democratic Party's goals, and I have explained that my vote for Clinton had nothing to do with her views but rather 1) a protest vote (voting third party is a waste) and 2) the only way I could express my anger at my party for nominating a lunatic.

Being a "liberal" Republican does not make you more liberal than a "conservative" Democrat and in fact does just the opposite.

Have you considered your party is going, with all due respect, in a very different ideological and strategic direction than what we might expect? For example, if we had nominated Rubio, I would still be a Republican. (I voted Cruz in the primaries as well).

I am pretty sure we'll end up voting Republican in 20 years (after the GOP is forced to make realistic changes) and I consider myself "Democratic aligned" for the sake of stopping Trump and the GOP direction.

One question - how come IL whites were so much more Democratic than whites from other redder states? I was wondering if anyone could shed light. The exits indicated that Clinton won CA whites, lost IL whites by only 11 points, and lost NY whites by 5 points.
