[QUOTE="Frank Underwood, post: 68211, member: 35"] Yes, that's the sad reality of Trump fans. Someone on Twitter posted a sign that said "Liberals, what the hell are you 'resisting'? More jobs? Less taxes? Destruction of ISIS? Protection of Constitutional rights? Protection of our immigration system?" I was astonished that anybody could believe such blatant bullshit. Fortune.com rates Trump's various job creation claims from misleading to false. In many cases, he's trying to take credit for the creation of jobs that were in the works before he became president. The rest is even easier to debunk, since it amounts to less taxes for the wealthy, increased bombing of Middle Eastern civilians as part of our decade and a half "war on terror," cherry picked Constitutional rights, and an illegal Muslim travel ban struck down by the courts. As for the wall, neither Mexico nor Congress seem willing to pay for the unnecessary monstrosity. Of course, Cenk Uygur makes a good point that running as Republican lite isn't a great strategy either. I still think Ossoff was the better choice, but if you're making a case for Republican talking points while distancing yourself from progressive positions, why wouldn't people simply vote for the Republican? At least she embraces the ideology of her base, depraved as it may be. Republicans don't run from their base like Democrats do. [/QUOTE]
