Sounds like the jokes made in France over the last couple decades...
You used a big word and I asked what's behind it, no joke.
But if you wanna tell me you don't know or it isn't actually a horde and you just use populistic shit, then I'll accept that as well, no biggie.

Though its probably a word Trump used, so it has to be correct. ;-)

Disagree completely, the 'whitenoise' of Politics has trended blue x100000% over the last 5 years of so with the ubiquity of connected technology devices...

the GOP has:

31/18 governors...

senate: 54/45

congress: 234/201

...and Americas great 'blue' oasis's like Detroit, New Orleans, D.C, Chicago, etc are being exposed for what they are...

absolutely failed social experiments
You could be right about that, as the numbers that you provided are accurate, but everything that I have read (and no, I don't only read bullshit biased news sources) has indicated that Hillary has a much more clear path to the white house than Trump.

Your scenario wouldn't be shocking though, since there is a trend that has been going on for a few administrations now.

Democrat wins presidency. He loses the house and the senate to an angry electorate in the next election, but gets re-elected.
Republican wins presidency. Loses the house and the senate to an angry electorate in the next election, but gets re-elected.
Democrat wins presidency. Loses the house and the senate to an angry electorate in the next election, but gets re-elected.
That's Clinton, Bush and Obama. Not sure if the trend continues before that.

You'd think history would be throwing an alley oop to the Republicans this year, especially with Hillary as the democratic nominee, but nothing about this election has been predictable besides Hillary's inevitable nomination.

Right, I used the word 'horde' therefore I support Trump, or is it the fact that I expressed misgivings about unvetted mass immigration that means I support Trump?

Not sure how this all works, 37 and never have once voted in any county/state/federal election so I am sort of behind on the whole pigeonholing thing, what gave it away that I beat my dick to Orange skin and facism?

While I agree it was predictable and inevitable my FB feed was FEELING THE BERN bigtime, but on voting day a lot of those Berners no showed, as will a huge % of the purveyors of the Never Trump morons...

We are in a Trump thread and you are arguing pro his points, or at least use a similar rhetoric, don't act like its a stretch.

And since I actually don't know and asked the question seriously, your immigration is completely unvetted? I somehow doubt that. Getting a green card can't be that easy now, can it? I kinda doubt its hordes though as well, you most likely have more 'hordes' of Latinos and Asians coming in general.

I don't have any numbers, that's why I asked you with your big words that appear as if there is knowledge behind it.
But logic tells me.. if you are arguing so hard about a plan to let 10k in... then it can't be that much, can it? And since you are an immigration country, 10k should be but a very small percentage generally, no?

I thought my points were mine, unaware because they sometimes parallel his, on this specific subject, that means I am using his, I thought mine were mine.

You are doing this disgusting hacky internet shill thing of reactionary labeling someone a '____ person' because we are discussing a topic in which my opinion somewhat parallels his - your style suits more 140 character name calling conversation, not extended form like this.

I actually edited that bit like 5 seconds after the post. And can you show me where I made that strong of a claim you are a Trump lover? A little sideways comment, that was it.

Either way, you continue to avoid my one and only question by making a big drama about it...

See man you keep attributing value to your Facebook feed. The loud assholes on Facebook do not accurately represent the population. 100% of those Bernie supporters on your wall could very well have voted, but the guy was always gonna lose.

The people that you see posting on Facebook adamantly about their political leanings are not the average voter. It takes a certain type of person to bombard their friends and family with their political leanings. In short (and these are hypothetical numbers), if 80% of the people who are talking about politics on your Facebook wall are Bernie supporters, it does not mean that 80% of people are Bernie supporters. Also, you can't assume that since Bernie didn't win those people must not have voted. Bernie appealed to the young generation, and young people generally have a more prevalent social media presence. He also appealed to people who love trendy politicians, which is a large contingent of the people who you see vomiting their opinions onto their friend's social media feeds.

It was a lot more than a social media trend...

I personally found that to be the least inevitable thing. I was really expecting to see Bernie vs Trump in an anti-establishment showdown.
I am surprised that you saw that happening, but I can't really blame you. Bernie supporters were a very vocal bunch that really gave him some momentum in culture, but Hillary has been the assumed nominee ever since 2012.

Also, Bernie used the word "socialist" while describing himself, which I saw as a huge nail in his coffin.

In my opinion the only way that Hillary was going to lose to Bernie is if she was federally prosecuted for the email scandal.

This election has really made me sad about the current state of politics, but I think it is indicative of a populous that is searching for an anti-establishment hero. I don't think we have met him or her yet, but this disaster of an election cycle could prove to be a good indicator.

There is a gigantic difference between filling an arena with people and winning an election. He absolutely had momentum, I am not doubting that, he just was never going to beat Hillary no matter how terrible she is.

It's just a weird set of logic to me. I still to this day haven't heard a good argument for Hillary being the next President.
It's a weird set of logic because you are a logical person. I would have rather Bernie win than Hillary or Trump to be honest, so I am not saying that Hillary was the better candidate, but what I am saying that as soon as Obama beat her in '08 you might as well have penciled her in as the 2016 nominee. I think Bernie got about as close as he could have. I mean, the woman was being federally investigated for divulging classified information and she STILL beat him. What better case is there for her being a shoo in from the beginning?

This is very similar to what I have bee saying, like this line from a few pages ago:

I think the country is going to be blindsided by the turnout of closet/secret Trump voters that swing this election...
