    Do you - 57brave - think the economy is "poor"

    If so, can you tell me why?

    Do you have any theories as to why 83% of democrats in CNN's exit poll believe that?

    If this were true, the Dem Party would be even more dysfunctional than it is.

    Perhaps that is their experience you would have to seek out and ask participants

    There were fine people on both sides of the Civil War. And maybe if people were a little more willing to compromise the whole thing could have been avoided.

    Now that Hillary is gone.
    And Trump is playing nice with Pelosi after using her name for every campaign rally.

    It looks like Ocasio-Cortez is now the Fox News' boogeywoman.

    mississippi really is the worst

    pretty much the only good things to ever come out of that state are done by people that a lot in the state don't think deserve to be free still to this day

    I've all but given up trying to set the whole record straight about the Civil War issues. The whole thing really is complicated overall though there are some easy "givens" like slavery is wrong period. As a whole though most people really don't "get it" about that period or the people involved. I've just come to accept that, except with my students, lol.

    Here’s a little factoid courtesy of twitter: when Nancy Pelosi was first elected to Congress in 1987, there were 12 female Republican congresspeople. In the next Congress, there will be 13.

    Is this supposed to signify something? Republicans are sexist?

    Does that mean since Trump has appointed more women to his cabinet than any other President, that he is not sexist?

    Yall's obsession with gender and race is constant. If there are laws on the books that discriminate against women any fashion, please let me know and I'd like to look at them.

    Otherwise, I don't see why statistics like this matter

    If the big lesson of 2016 was that rural areas in the North will vote like

    rural areas in the South, the big lesson of 2018 is that

    Southern cities will vote like Northern ones.

    Replying to @Bencjacobs

    That is a half-assed compliment. When didn't Abe go all-in and congratulate
    him on completing his wall on the Mexican border, the opening of 5 new GM
    manufacturing plants, and winning the Nobel Peace Prize?
