I am amazed at the ignorance of the two political parties:

The Repulican party was created in the 1850s to abolish slavery. Lincoln got it done and took a bullet in the head for it.

Democrat Party, the entire South and much of the North were Democrats. All Confederates were Democrats, Nathan Bedford Forrest was a Democrat, the rebirth of the clan was all Democrats, hell a Democrat governor of Indiana was openly KKK.

Democrat/KKK members lynched Blacks, Catholics, Jews and Republicans....

To this day the democrats still are using violence as a utility to push their extreme views.

I thought the HW34 bit was the most persuasive part of the night. In terms of trying to convince on the fence voters to vote Trump.

That needs to be a huge piece of the strategy.

The mainstream media calls people racists without evidence (Dems parrot that).

Of course an unopposed strategy is going lose independent voters who buy the media and DNCs narrative.

Herschel did a great job humanizing Donald trump and pushing back on the racist narrative. Jordan and several others did the same, but not as effective as Herschel.

It is truly amazing how every single person you meet personally or know from the media etc who is a Donald Trump supporter...the kind who would actually over look his shooting someone on 5th avenue, not the Romney voter who held their nose and voted for Trump....has a very well known history with mental illness. I do not know a single person who is a Trump supporter who is not a drug addict addicted to prescription drugs, has not somehow managed to get on social security before retirement age, has anything beyond a high school education, has not been divorced, is not estranged from their family in some manner, has never had a career and is still working a job in their middle age....every Trump supporter I know has something along these lines. They all have issues...and struggle to deal with those issues.

It is not surprising, given Herschel's long and public history with mental health issues, that he is a Trump supporter,,,you don't have to be crazier than a shite house rat to be a Trump supporter but if you are you will find yourself in GREAT company, at least from a numbers POV...

I think that is the democratic winning platform.

Calling republicans deplorables. Mentally I'll. Drug addicts.

I think you should post this more often on facebook/social media, political boards, etc..

It is a winning strategy. Donna Brazile agrees and wishes she pushed this more 4 years ago.

Loved it when he was saying (paraphrasing) "he isn't politically correct and you may not like his style, neither did the people I used to run over in football, but that's how you get the job done". Line of the night!


Yes, 'cause being the elected leader of 330 Million people and the leader of the free world and the most important single individual on the planet is the same thing as being a tailback in the NFL. The jobs are identical. The skill sets are slightly different but other than that it takes the same mind set.

Herschel Walker is the GREATEST CFB tailback, EVER....and was a great NFL tailback. He is also a great American and a great human being, by all accounts, and has dealt with some SERIOUS mental health issues his entire life. He is to be revered. That doesn't in any manner suggest he is without the ability to be wrong. He can't, and has never been able, to move markets with his words. DJT can and has. DJT or anyone who is in the white house is responsible for more shite than anyone who hasn't been close to the position can begin to conjure up....saying and doing things simply to get a rise out of the political opposition is just silly...its fine for a talk show host, a football player, a plumber...but it is unbecoming in a world leader and can be dangerous. DJT has done some good things for this country. His actions speak far louder than his words and his actions indicate he is a 1970's era Democrat. he has flat out laid the lie to Reagan and had created a fundamental shift in the GOP that has driven a wedge between Reagan (now called RINOS) and the America First wing of the GOP....and that is, in my opinion, the best thing that has happened in American politics since so many of us swallowed Reagan and the ensuing debacle. If he had done this without the trolling and acted like a world leader willing to tell Europe they needed to pay their way through life (something Trump has done when no one else has the balls to do so) and American jobs came first I would be the biggest Trump supporter who ever lived...he is what the moderate wing of the democratic party, labor and anyone who fondly remembers Tip O'neal has ever wanted in a President....but he can not and will not act like someone who is cut out to be in the position....and that is damaging the good he has accomplished for American labor.

Without a doubt, the dumbest post I have ever seen on this board. And that says a lot.

This is all TRUE. Democracy and democratic principals are a both big tents and house many differing opinions and people from many walks of life. Republicanism's main principle is a government of the people with very limited power in the hands of the people in order to prevent mob rule. Democratic principles are based on the premise that what is good for the majority is what is best. This is why poor people and middle class people, farmers and laborers and small business owners alike are so fond of democratic principals. On the other hand Republican principals are all about limiting the political power of the individual...we elect representatives to express our political will, we do not vote directly on that will. The founding fathers realized that the people, given the power to do so, would eliminate the ruling class and there is no way the founding fathers, who were the ruling class at the time, were going to allow that anymore than any ruling class in the history of man has allowed it. Thus we became a republic. This was a fundamental shift in the ways of man on earth at the time....but that shift started the day we formed a society...and is continuing to shift today....the world is becoming more democratic and will continue to do so. The ruling class is losing its grip on the people...it ain't happening fast but it is happening. Trump is a perfect example of this....the GOP ain't no fan of Trump...but he was attractive to many people and the ruling class in both parties ain't having it....

The winning strategy for democrats is to simply vote. They don't do it but when and if they ever decide to do so there won't be a GOP candidate in any meaningful position anywhere in the nation.

This has already happened with Trump. His legacy will prove to be his laying the lie to Reagan. He ran and won the office on a platform that was straight out of the 1970s DNC playbook and has firmly established a line between Trump supporter and Ronald Reagan...but of course yall call the latter RINOs today because besmirching Reagan is not something you can do. Trump has turned the tide to an American first mentality that is straight out of 1970s Democratic politics and the labor movement in the US. That shift is now firmly established....Mitt Romney nor any other Reagan era republican is going to be elected without getting on board with Labor's agenda going forward. It doesn't matter what the party affiliation is the working people in America are once again concerned with their own self interests and not that of the ruling class and both parties are going to reinforce those ides going forward. Thats why the DNC and the RINOs in the GOP are so upset with Trump because he has shined the light on the power that working people hold...and that light is not being missed by anyone other than RINOs....the Democrats will fall over backwards to meet the demands of Labor...outside of the 36 year period between Reagan and Obama they always have....and now a large segment of the GOP is on board. Both parties are now going to have to attract working people based on the actual interests of working people, not the failed dream of supply side economics...the Democrats only need to return to their roots to do so, the GOP is going to have to answer the RINO problem at some point in time and that time is fast approaching.

Really looking forward to the MAGA tears.

At least once Trump loses the election, he can finally divorce his wife and go back to rating women on the Howard Stern channel.

One of the dumbest posts of the century. I am a Trump supporter and I don't fit any of those categories. How the heck do you explain me??

I try no to disparage dem voters, after all they are entitled to their opinion. I don't understand many of them. Dem people always disparage Trump supporters and Repubs. Their definition of a racist is essentially anyone that disagrees with their opinion.

From Cotton to Congress... White sympathy bares no meaning. You kneel... you’re weak. You vote based on popularity... we vote based on substance. You spout drivel and divisiveness... we respond with force and will to continue the American dream. You’re insane... we’re republicans... the only difference... you’re just a little more shittier.
