Cringe worthy. Does he know wages have been stagnant for decades and the main reason people can't find full time work is because companies are securing record profits by not giving benefits? Wow.
I don't know the stat but after living in Spain where they are barely up by noon, I'm gonna say America works longer than most countries. That idiot put Trump in 1st place in the polls how sad is that, lol.
why does it feel like the (R) party seems to have have almost no chance to win the next election and it is still over a year away. looking at the names on that list makes it seem like a huge joke. i mean this is the party that recently nominated palin as VP. at this point it's becoming a mix of unsolved mysteries, twilight zone, and the onion tv political series drama.
It's interesting as hell as to why it's happening. Whether it's a recent fluke or more of a trend? It just seems like a confluence of several different things that are becoming harder and harder for Republicans to overcome in a national election.
Democrats nominated Mondale eight years before Clinton, McGovern four years before Carter, Republicans disavowed their Civil Rights votes a few months earlier by nominating Goldwater when they had another Thomas Dewey in tow. Politics is cyclical, much more so now with an engaged and sometimes adversarial press. Lost in all this is the fact that Republicans still have and will probably retain their Congressional majority.
The nation is center left and steadily moving more left as we speak and the republicans can't keep up. They've won one popular vote 23 years yikes.
I don't know that people are center left as much as Republican ideas that sprouted with Reagan have died through their effects on the country.
When the tea party came on the scene, I pretty much became a man without a political party. Even though I still considered myself a conservative, I just can't associate with those buffoons. I felt like Yoda when he said "into exile, I must go." At the time, I thought for sure that by the time Obama's term was up, the tea party would be a distant memory much like Perot's reform party back in the 90's and a moderate would come along and change the thinking of the entire conservative movement. I don't know, like an Arlen Specter-type, except someone who was actually a Republican? Listening to talk radio (strictly for the unintentional comedy) and seeing this list of COMPLETE BOOBS running for the nomination.....I guess I'll have to keep waiting...
His solution for what he deems to be a slow labor market/low wage growth is to increase labor supply - seems like a great idea!
With every generation the country goes more and more to the left. There are certain things that newer generations will simply not tolerate and if the Republican party does not catch up they will have to cheat or become extinct, the world is changing. http://www.juancole.com/2012/12/america-is-officially-a-center-left-country-young-turks.html Right now more people in America identify as democrat than republican. With minority groups growing that gap will widen especially with idiots like trump out there. http://ourfuture.org/report/center-left-nation
The Republicans are going to get creamed like they do in presidential election years because of their F'd up social platform. They are so out of touch with millennials, it's not even funny. I say that as someone who can't stand the social policies of the Republicans and the fiscal platform of progressives. The Republicans have alienated too many minorities for so long that it's going to take countless decades to undo the damage. They lost the immigration battle and this isn't the first time. When Jews immigrated during WW2, it was the Democrats who provided jobs and opportunity. There's a reason Jewish people still vote 80% Democrat. It all sucks for me because my views do line up center-right and I just don't know if I can vote that way.
i would bet sometime soon a great candidate will come along that wont cater to the dumb hard line stances on toxic social issues that some in the republican party take and refuse to give up. or if clinton wins there will have to be a huge economic letdown that shows the need to go in a different direction. if not she may end up winning twice. which at that point you would have democrats winning 6 of 8 elections and 7 of 8 popular votes.
Over the past couple of decades the Democrats have had the better economies. It's really sad though that a party has to wish for a president to fail so that it can win an election.
If Hillary doesn't implode and wins convincingly, maybe things will change after this next election. I'm waiting with you. Arlen Specter types are likely gone forever. Guys like him are good for the Senate but never won national elections anyway.
Never heard of any of them tbh. Who the F are they? What is their background? Education level? Income? I am sure they pale in comparison to charismatic, educated, knowledgeable, well traveled leaders like Obama and Clinton.
If you write a book and then buy all of the copies yourself does it still count as a best seller? Conservatives howl as NY Times calls out Ted Cruz for trying to cheat his way onto bestseller list lol
WOW! HAHAHA It's especially embarrassing to see our governor always chime in on this stupid stuff. Is Ted not embarrassing the state enough on his own?!
I actually feel slightly better about things, knowing that less real people than we thought are really buying his books ...
