That's how the country works. Of course Trump sheep want all Republicans. Just like the other side would like all Democrats and feel the country would be much better off.

TBayXXXVII 2,145 Posted June 26, 2019 39 minutes ago, The Observer said: Biggest democratic seat flip since 1974. It was a direct referendum on Trump. Which was my point. You said if Republicans could take over all political positions blah blah blah. I was just pointing out that the country seems to be wanting the exact opposite. Didn't say the county was smart, did I? If I were the supreme ruler, I'd have this country fixed in no time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baker Boy 1,496 Posted June 26, 2019 Conventional wisdom holds that the President's party will lose seats during a midterm election. In the 21 midterm elections held since 1934, only twice has the president's party gained seats in both the Senate and the House: Franklin Delano Roosevelt 's first midterm election and George W. Bush 's first midterm election. Midterm elections are not friendly to the president's political party. Modern midterm elections have resulted in an average loss of 30 seats in the House of Representatives and Senate by the political party whose president occupies the White House. https://www.thoughtco.com/historical-midterm-election-results-4087704 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peenie 1,696 Posted January 9, 2020 Blacks are Democrats right? Blacks don't own guns, not us law abiding folks anyway. (Unless we're in law enforcement) Quote White men are especially likely to be gun owners: About half (48%) say they own a gun, compared with about a quarter of white women and nonwhite men (24% each) and 16% of nonwhite women. I think paranoia and fear is clearly a problem for those talking about a race war. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sh1t I must know more black people than you do cause every single one I know is packing. Legal and illegal. Your statement is utter bullsh1t because not only do black people have guns, but they are actually attacking white people a hell of a lot lore than white people are attacking them.

peenie 1,696 Posted January 9, 2020 Umm....I don't own a gun. No one in my family owns a gun. Once again, criminals (people who would illegally carry guns) have them, but law abiding folks I know do not have them or else you would see it recorded there in the graphs I linked. I am telling you WE do not own guns. If we law abiding people owned guns, there would probably be a lot less violence in the inner cities. Note, no one had a gun when that kid shot up the church in Carolina. It's kind of taught that guns are for murder and police are for protection. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
