I think you are missing something there. Not one Dem incumbent?

The only thing Bob is missing is the facts. I’m not going to count, because my wife and I don’t have enough fingers and toes, but it’s over 100 for sure how many Democrat incumbent congressman won.

I think Bob is referring to the outstanding performance of Republican incumbents. I may be wrong, but maybe every one of them that ran for re-election won. Impressive, but different for sure.

That's a lot.

So Trump calls people racist, sexist, bigot, homophobe? That is what I am talking about. And the lefties cannot go a minute in most cases without resorting to such names.

The Trump nicknames are clever ways to tag his opponents. Calling someone "racist" just shows you cannot make an intelligent point. Unless you are using it against libs to make a clever point of a double standard.

Pointing out racism on the right REALLY triggers some people.

Yup, got it backwards. Not a single
Repub incumbent lost. They all
won reelection. I often reverse
things, there's even a name for it.
It's when you ask 10 people to raise
their right hand and 3 raise their
left. They know right from left, their
brain sends the wrong signal.

If Joe Biden did the same thing, you’d call it “dementia.”

So you are for child labor usage in foreign countries as long as it is profitable for the companies you own? That’s not the terapined I broke bread with. I’m retired too.

I'm just a retired ploppy depending on the stock market.
What do you want me to do about child labor?

I agree with you. I abhor cigarettes. But, right or wrong, I own stick in cigarette companies. As much as I hate cigarettes I am totally for the right to kill yourself with the cancer sticks if you want to. There are people who won’t invest in companies they deem unethical for one reason or another. I guess we are not that type of investor.

What they're really afraid of is
Trump will start a populist
3rd party that can wipe out
the other 2 parties. His
poll numbers have stayed
the same or have gone
up since Jan 6th. He has the
support of people like the
richest man in the world,
Elon Musk. He has a built
in 80 million fan base. DC
is scared to death he will
ruin the cash cow that has
enriched elected officials
forever. He just might do
it.
