I beg to differ.  Smilo is a FF.

One day after I call you out on your programming issues logical shortcomings. You're a clever one!

[DavidB.]

People who don't appreciate smilo just don't have the big brain energy and capacity to do so. Very sad.

[Fight for Trump]

Solid, of all people, should not be suggesting renaming this thread after anyone.

Thank you for posting directly into this thread.

Solid of course being one who said this:

No. However the environment and the districts geography means that the seat could be competitive. If dems get a better recruit, then perhaps it could be competitive. Bryce is a poor recruit largely due to his personal past - if the race becomes competitive Bryce would be shoved aside by Ryan due to his past. There are potentially better candidates here that still seem to symbolize the WWC.  

I'm unfamiliar with his past, what is it that makes him a poor candidate?

Who cares.  Randy Bryce is an awesome candidate who is very much qualified for congress, more-so than anyone else, and would represent the people of WI-01 quite well.

The Democratic establishment has already crowned Kamala Harris as their chosen nominee, before a single vote has even been cast. To avoid another Bernie debacle, they've decided to nip this one in the bud through a highly coordinated smear campaign using leftist media outlets and morons on Twitter.

Simple enough.

Good job by Fairfax with his latest statement. They need to start using the term coup d’état because that’s what this really is. We must hang onto power at all costs. We cannot let Republicans have the trifecta because of a couple bad pictures and two women being paid to say that Fairfax raped them.

[America Needs a 13-6 Progressive SCOTUS]

No.  Don't get me wrong, I think anti-vaxing is a significant issue, but the idea of allowing people to conduct medical procedures without consent is not a rabbit hole we want to go down.

[Landslide Lyndon]

Well, it is Bill Clinton's party.

Better Bill Clinton's party than George W. Bush's or Donald Trump's party.

As if there's any substantive difference between the three

I think that Howard Schultz would take away enough moderate Democratic votes to flip Rhode Island, Delaware, Connecticut, New Jersey, Minnesota, and Virginia to Donald Trump (I already think that Trump will narrowly win New Hampshire and Maine, so a Howard Schultz candidacy at won’t affect the outcomes in those two states that much TBH, and also noticed that Trumps support in parts of New Jersey went up quite a bit over the past few months for some reason).

I don’t believe vaccines caused my brother’s autism, but not to the extent that I can totally rule them out either. I’d still vaccinate my own children, but when that time comes I’ll sure as hell be paranoid about it.

I don’t trust scientists. I trust in science, but not scientists generally speaking. Experiments and research is very expensive, and the people who pay and fund these projects aren’t just throwing money around. They have their own angle. The growing intensity of the anti-anti-vaxxer movement has grown from a few warnings in academic journals to a full blown army of angry single moms ready to lead the latest online lynch mom the moment a kid at the daycare develops a runny nose.

Follow the money, etc, etc.

Almost every post by this user could go into the absurd and ignorant post thread. He is a massive Dem hack and 2016 trends hack.

I'd reorder the list slightly, but that's basically it.

Here's my list from 190 seats to 220.
190: TX-21 (R HOLD)
191: ME-2 (R GAIN)
192: FL-25 (R HOLD)
193: TX-22 (R HOLD)
194: NY-22 (R GAIN)
195: CA-22 (R HOLD)
196: CA-50 (R HOLD)
197: NM-2 (R GAIN)
198: TX-2 (R HOLD)
199: NJ-3 (R GAIN)
200: TX-10 (R HOLD)
201: SC-1 (R GAIN)
202: PA-8 (R GAIN) (First seat that the GOP didn't win in 2016)
203: AZ-1 (R GAIN)
204: NC-9 (R GAIN???)
205: IA-2 (R GAIN)
206: IA-1 (R GAIN)
207: NY-19 (R GAIN)
208: NE-2 (R HOLD)
209: VA-2 (R GAIN)

I don't get what's so hard to understand. Evangelicals aren't voting for a pastor or a religious authority who they want to model their life after. They're voting for a warrior to protect their way of life against an increasingly threatening society. He seems to be performing that role quite well so far.

Except society isn't threatening them, it's the other way around, and their worldviews are, on the whole, rediculous.

Hardly. Evangelicals have very little power in civil society right now. Right wing social views are being shamed into oblivion, deplatformed, suppressed in the workplace, sued a la the Colorado baker, routinely derided by "objective" media, etc. while left wing social views are being pushed harder than ever. Further, what constitutes a left wing view is flying even further left, as evidenced even just recently by the push for late-term abortion and infanticide. Evangelicals have every reason to feel threatened.

and as I said, society is also taking their money away from them at a disproportionate rate and giving it to people who aren't them at a disproportionate rate.

(Citation needed)

Do you really dispute that white people* are more likely to pay taxes and less likely to receive welfare?

*I know this thread is about Evangelicals but it's mostly about white Evangelicals. Since non-white Evangelicals aren't generally Trump supporters. 

If you can't find a credible source saying whether or not whites are more likely to pay taxes and less likely to receive welfare, why should I believe that?

lol

you want a source saying whites are richer than blacks?

I could seriously say the sky was blue and people on this forum would say I was wrong.

Obama was a fraud. He was about as real as Justin Fairfax's claims of innocence

Every Democratic legislator needs to sign off to this immediately.

No
Democrats should refuse to allow any of their own to be taken down by sexual harassment issues until Republicans force Kavanaugh out.

So basically just legalize sexual assault then because that's never going to happen. This is completely stupid because for one it tells victims they're only worth hearing once the abusers personally take responsibility, and second the Dems have zero interest in being different from the GOP.

People getting forced out of politics as the Me Too movement goes on has to happen like a queue.

First in with a reputable accusation against them; First out of public office as a consequence.

Currently, this queue is stuck with Kavanaugh at front. Before we can get any further within the queue than that, he needs to go.

Oh great. The Hillary-izing of Kamala is continuing full speed ahead. How come we never have discussions about male politicians being authentic?

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Say what you will about Trump, but border security and illegal immigration are issues that will ultimately require a final solution. Such a final solution can only come through a more comprehensive immigration reform bill.
