I feel like Sheriff Clarke would be an easy person to get kicked out of elected office given that he basically wins by running as a Dem constantly.

Or does he have a machine up there where all opponents get pulled over 10 times a day?

Laffo the gently caress do you mean one election, this is a direct repeat of 1980 in pretty much every way (but more worser)
this is a pretty hilarious misstatement of the situation if for no other reason than reagan won like 57% of the popular vote and almost 500 EVs - the centrists were with reagan. but even assuming it's everything you say it is you're still looking at two bad data points (one for his re-election as well), and no fewer than 8 otherwise reasonable data points afterward. we also elected warren harding with 404 EVs and like 60% of the popular vote, btw

Every chance I get I'm denouncing Anti-Semitism. I do it all the time. My advisors are even like, "Hey Prez, we've got some big stuff to deal with, can we knock it off with defending the Jews for just one day?", and I just slowly shake my head.

At least Trump managed to hit the ball off the tee with the anti-semitism today. Last week a conservative jewish reporter lobbed him the biggest meatball and he was all "thats a very unfair question now sit down jew boy"

In 1980, white Americans who were tired of the civil rights movements and identity politics of the 60s and 70s voted for a guy they saw act tough on television, because he promised that he would make everything better for them and that they wouldn't have to make any personal changes.

Senior CIA analyst resigns because of President Trump's 'disturbing' actions in office
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/cia-analyst-resigns-trump-disturbing-actions-article-1.2978009

quote:

Over a decade ago, Edward Price told his father that he was going to get a job at the Central Intelligence Agency. It wouldn’t just be his “first real job,” he told his dad — it would be his career, passion and life.

That all changed when President Donald Trump was elected.

“Despite working proudly for Republican and Democratic presidents, I reluctantly concluded that I cannot in good faith serve this administration as an intelligence professional,” Price, who had worked at the CIA since 2006, wrote in a resignation letter published in full by the Washington Post on Monday.
...
He devoted himself to the CIA as a college student, and worked under both President George W. Bush and President Barack Obama.
...
“Missing from the NSC’s principals committee were the CIA director and the director of national intelligence. Added to the roster: the president’s chief strategist, Stephen K. Bannon, who cut his teeth as a media champion of white nationalism,” Price wrote.
...
“To be clear, my decision had nothing to do with politics, and I would have been proud to again work under a Republican administration open to intelligence analysis,” Price wrote. “But this administration has flipped that dynamic on its head: The politicians are the ones tuning out the intelligence professionals.”

In conclusion, Price asserted that he still believes that the CIA will prevail. But, waving a warning rhetorical finger at Trump, Price said trust between the White House and the intelligence community will not build unless the new President is prepared to listen.

“Until that happens,” Price wrote, “President Trump and his team are doing another disservice to these dedicated men and women and the nation they proudly, if quietly, serve.”

It must be a great time to wake up out of a mult-decade coma. You get amazed with how far consumer tech has advanced as your surviving relatives show you a smart phone. Then you face slow, creeping dread as you accidently swipe open the news app and your family spends 15 mins convincing you the Pres Trump headline isn't a prank. Is the hospital policy now to make the patient ask three times before putting them back to sleep in an induced coma?

you're not even talking about what i'm talking about anymore, you're getting into the liberal revolution -> conservative counter-revolution cycle that's happened like a half-dozen times in american history and way more in modern european history. the centrists, overall, were with reagan and they gave him his mandate and the latitude he needed to do what it is he was after. whether you agree that mandate or not 35 years later is a completely separate matter and definitely not one i'm going to get conned into arguing or defending.

centrists are not with donny t. it takes only a glance at his record-low job approval ratings and turmoil in the government to tell you that. that's what an anomalous data point looks like.
