History of Senator Schumer vs. Donald Trump

“Senator Chuck Schumer of NY, elected Wednesday as the new Democratic minority leader, has spoken with Mr. Trump several times, and Democrats in coming weeks plan to announce populist economic and ethics initiatives they think Mr. Trump might like”. He regularly misrepresented Hillary Clinton’s policies and positions – and his own (when they could be pinned down at all). In defeat, Clinton blamed the FBI Director’s October 28, 2016 letter to Congress “in connection with the Secretary Clinton email investigation”.

In addition, although Clinton won the popular vote, exit polls suggested that more people cast their vote against her than against him. Less than 100,000 votes separated the two in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

They will also hold the most governorships since 1922 – probably 32 or 33, depending on a recount in North Carolina. “They owe an up-or-down vote on Merrick Garland”.

This is the fifth time the popular vote victor did not win in the Electoral College.

An alternative, which may also have some appeal to reform starved voters, would be a constitutional convention at which a whole host of other overdue reforms could be addressed.

But it wasn’t accelerating as fast as we thought.

Immigrant families, LGBTQ citizens, African Americans, Muslims and others are fearful that disparaging, even threatening, rhetoric about their communities will become normalized. In the early days of Trump’s transition to the White House, a stream of former Republican adversaries and skeptics has trickled through the lobby at Trump Tower in midtown Manhattan, en route to meet privately with the president-elect.

That’s how Republicans did it anyway. Or, rather, I hope that’s what they mean, because that’s the only way that their diagnosis of the election is factually correct. It is time for the Democratic Party to undergo a fundamental reassessment.

Electoral College – After all votes are counted, Clinton is probably going to get some 2 million more than Trump, but still loses in the Electoral College vote among states.

“Service is the rent we pay for living”, Clinton said.

This seems to contradict Trende’s nothing-unusual thesis.

Clinton’s real problem with blacks, though, was turnout. In addition, Republicans lack the ability to field candidates in every legislative race and seem to offer up a number of disturbing people to vie for office – the freaky antics of congressional candidate Angela Kaaihue were the most noticeable this election year. But pressure from House members who want some new blood in the leadership forced Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi to delay the party’s leadership elections until after Thanksgiving. These voters can drawn into an alliance with authoritarians, Haidt warned, if they believe that progressives have subverted the nation’s traditions and identity so badly that dramatic political action is only way they can stand athwart history anymore yelling “Stop!”

But the long-term consequences for representative government may be even greater, especially if the trend toward single-party control continues through 2020. Clinton made her gender a central selling point of her campaign after pundits came to the conclusion her refusal to embrace the issue cost her the 2008 Democratic primary.

Non-college whites are a shrinking demographic.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt set up his New Deal in 1933 and forged a coalition of labor unions, liberals, religious, ethnic and racial minorities.

Back when Trump was making this mad dash around the country there were left-leaning journalists and Republican polling experts saying it made no sense. Having all but dismissed social media as an effective campaigning tool, hammering home the party line seemed to be the sole objective of the Clinton campaign’s online efforts.

Technically is was a nonpartisan race, but Democratic incumbent Kirk Caldwell not only beat his Republican challenger, Charles Djou, but beat him by several percentage points.

Republicans won the presidency. “Who’s to say that won’t happen in the Midwest?” Seems not: defeated political elites have exhibited little self-awareness about why voters may have rejected those who have openly ridiculed them. “They know the public has already been reckoning for a long time with the fact that our trade policies are not negotiated in the interest of the most impacted communities of every color-that unionized factory jobs, good pay, and benefits have been replaced by service jobs with low pay and often no benefits“.
