Or it is simply a reflection of the revulsion that Trump invokes in educated voters, that makes Hillary, by comparison, seem so much better.

I have never seen any studies that claim polls determine election results. It is, of course, supposed to be the other way around. The polls, if they are statistically valid, are supposed to reflect the current leanings of the voters. It is someone with a conspiracy mindset that would think...

Trump made me appreciate Hillary.:D

I have not given much thought to that. Do you think it is a right? I think in the U.S. at the present time it isn't? So I guess the question is, should it be ? I also think that a society in which sizable numbers of people can not afford access to routine dental and health care is not a very...

we can disagree amiably then. There is a weak spot in my arguments, but I don't believe what you highlighted is it.

Ron Paul is confusing State ordered abortion, euthanasia, and genocide with individual choice. Maybe he is losing it a bit in his old age. (Have you seen those late night TV ads featuring Ron Paul? Suggests to me that his mind is no longer functioning well. A shame.)

The bald eagle has way more freedom than you want for America's women. The bald Eagle is free to devour their young without interference from the government.

jem, you are not being a good team player. And just for the record, when I wrote "ripped" I was using Trump's word,

My pleasure.

There are opportunities of course. But if you are constrained in some way, e.g., no savings, working two jobs to make ends meet, etc., from your perspective they might as well not exist.

You have identified a pernicious long-term effect of supply-side. It has resulted in no capital at all being left with the middle class. That means that opportunity has dried up for the middle class. When we had a strong middle class we were leaving some capital there. Not a lot but some. And...

In a democracy, Good Government, has to defined by the people at the ballot box. This is why broad, compulsory education is essential to a democracy. Voters can be misled, and poor or insufficient education can result in mistakes at the ballot box. In retrospect, we made a mistake when we...

Your observations are mine. We are entirely on the same wavelength. I am just a little more encouraged than you by prospects with Clinton in the White House. We will have to wait and see. If see doesn't get at least a cooperative Senate than I think we can forget any meaningful progress. If...

As someone who has read the entire, very long, Heller decision and studied it in detail, I can say categorically, you are correct. However Hillary was also correct when she said that Heller does not shut the door on reasonable restrictions and gun regulation. Scalia used arm waving to jettison...

I think it will help you get on a somewhat even keel if you stop thinking of brains being sucked out by abortionists and start thinking of the human rights of those with an independent existence. Life is perhaps more complicated than we allow for in our arguments. These late term abortions are...

As you know we have to have a very long term view. It took us more than thirty five years to get to or present macro economic state. It will take the right kind of leadership and another 35 years to restore the middle class. I say this being more or less a member of the middle class, but at...

JEM, are you one of Trumps wild, charging hyenas ? :D These things you are trying to bait me into commenting on here on ET have many nuances, and they have been discussed ad nauseum already in expert forums and in the court. And the court has spoken. You want to know my opinion. It is the same...

This is what is so absurd about Trump. He thinks, apparently, we can compete with China's GDP growth rate. That's insane. (Trump is an unmitigated idiot!) We are a mature economy. They are no where near a mature economy. Growth forever is impossible, but in the current world we can do 2-3%...

She outlined, briefly, but succinctly, her demand side job stimulus plan. It went by too quickly for the media to grasp its importance. It will mean a huge boost to middle class jobs and income. She is also pushing a higher minimum wage. That will be a "huge", really "huge", demand side...
