@cennon You have swallowed the fear mongering of the dems and the media. Impeachment isn't a recourse for stopping a SC nomination. Trump is the President for 4 years not 3 and a few months. He is following the Constitution by nominating a SCJ. If it wasn't for Harry Reid getting rid of the filibuster, we wouldn't need to worry about this.

McConnell tried to tell Harry Reid that he was making a big mistake. The democrats shot themselves in the foot.

@cennon OK never mind. I'll just go with the hero, you're delusional. I never said anything about a woman who was raped having to bear a rapists child. As for McConnell getting rid of the filibuster, maybe, maybe not. After all he did tell Reid that he was making a big mistake.

@cennon LOL 😆you are definitely partisan and naive if you think the democratic party is any better. Money spent in political campaigns has greatly increased over the last few years. Since Bush the democrats have spent and raised more money than the republican party for presidential campaigns. Obama spent over 1 billion dollars in 2012 compared to McCain spending about 350 million. Also you will be sorely disappointed if you think either political party is going anywhere. Have fun living in your alternate reality. As for confirming ACB it's a done deal. The republicans have the votes to confirm her thanks to Harry Reid. Have a good evening.

I think Florida is a majority votes takes all Electoral College points.

This should scare the hell out of people! Unfortunately a lot of people have plugged their ears and closed their eyes.

@cennon What happens in the Supreme Court with regards to abortion remains to be seen. I am sure that individual states would bring multiple law suits. As far as McConnell changing or getting rid of the norns in Congress you are also a fool if you think it's only McConnell or republicans. Both parties do what's best for their party at any given time.

@cennon I never said I was ok with a corrupt government. However I'm not delusional like you. I at least recognize that there is corruption on both sides. I believe there needs to be term limits for all members of Congress. We have term limits for the president. No one should be allowed to remain in office for 30 plus years regardless of their party. All those members of Congress that have made a career out of holding a public office is where the corruption lies.

@cennon Good luck! Congress makes the laws. A third party candidate hasn't won in probably a century. The democrats are working really hard to get the Green Party taken off the ballot.

@cennon LOL 😆 I didn't think we were having a debate about patriotism. The republican party is just as patriotic as the democrats. This whole conversation started over your delusional thought that the democrats could use impeachment to stop the Supreme Court nomination. Also your failure to recognize that corruption exists in both parties is astounding. Neither political party is perfect. I just love when I try to have a civil debate with someone who constantly wants to bash the other party. For supposedly being the party of tolerance most of your party is far from that. You can go ahead and keep your blinders on. I guess you've heard all those lies enough from the MSM that all the people who are republican are evil or as Hillary said Deplorable. Sadly you believe all those lies. Think about all of the people you've had interactions with throughout your life, do you know their political affiliation? Many of those ordinary everyday people could be republicans. Despite your skewed vision of the republican party we are not evil, deplorable, or unpatriotic. Maybe you should try to have some tolerance in your life instead of wanting to wipe out a whole political party because you think they are disgusting or unpatriotic. That is a very dangerous viewpoint.

@cennon You don't make any sense. You say the neocon's attacked normal patriotic Americans for opposing the needless Iraq War. I do agree the Iraq War was needless and a waste of time but normal patriotic Americans were attacked? At the time of the Iraq War most Americans supported that war, I didn't. However, our government Bush, Cheney, Rice, military officials ect. were all for war but would have never labeled themselves as neocon's. Both houses of Congress approved the Iraq War democrats Biden, Kerry, Reid, Clinton, Feinstein, Schumer, Schiff, and other's all voted for the Iraq War. Are they all neocon's who attacked normal patriotic Americans? As for republican policies being horrible many would disagree. For one I bet the enslaved African Americans would disagree. Remember Lincoln and his policy of abolishing slavery? Again you are attacking a political party or people for their views because you don't agree. So what you're saying is we should all think and believe the same things. Again your way of thinking is very dangerous. Part of what makes America great is that we all have the freedom to choose what we believe and think. When you start advocating for the destruction of a political party because you don't like their conservative policies that is a dangerous way to think.

@cennon You think the wealthy support the republican party? That's laughable! Most billionaires support and donate to the democratic party. Bloomberg, Soros, Gates are just a few. As far as Republicans supporting or forcing a woman who was raped to give birth. I dont know how many would actually support that if pressed to answer that specific question. However, the percentage of pregnancies from rape are very low. I myself do support a woman's right to choose. I think in cases of incest and rape, it should be her personal choice. The topic of abortion is a very hot polarized issue. Not all conservative Republicans believe in radical bills such as the many heartbeat bills that have been pushed by many in state legislatures. However, I don't believe in the extreme radical opposite of late term 9th month abortion. There has to be a middle ground. That compromise or middle ground is seriously lacking in todays politics. I would advocate for a third party but the problem is name recognition. The two party system is very powerful and has been actively suppressing the smaller political parties. Politics is all about money and power and both are guilty.

@cennon i do realize that there was a lot of backlash for people who didn't support the Iraq War. However you don't want to admit that a lot of your favorite party the democrats were most definitely on board and supported the Iraq War. Donald Trump wasn't a politician during the Iraq War. Back then the only thing of relevance that he said was that Bush shouldn't be so indecisive. As for getting rid of a political party because you don't feel they are patriotic is still a dangerous view. How many of our service members are republican? Would you consider them as unpatriotic? According to a recent Gallup poll Republicans represent 29% Democrats 30% Independents 40%. You are again advocating getting rid of 29% of the population because you feel that they are unpatriotic. If you don't see that your viewpoint is dangerous then I don't know what more to say but maybe you should study how Hitler came into power. He eliminated people because he didn't agree with them and saw them as inferior. Do you see republicans as inferior? If you do I feel sad for you because you are on a dangerous path.

@cennon LOL 😆 You don't even know who Soros is, he is a very wealthy man who created a democrat super PAC. He only donates to progressive or democrat candidates. No GOP candidates at all. You seriously don't know what you're talking about. You constantly change the subject or deflect. You have yet to answer any of the questions I've asked. I am not reading or typing off of any script. I do a lot of research, it's evident that you don't. As for what have I done regarding republicans in office that I feel don't represent the people, I have voted them out . I've voted for republicans, democrats, and independents. I vote for the best candidate for the job. As for you proving your points, you have proved nothing! You have only given your opinion. I have seen no factual information for your claim that republicans are unpatriotic. However, I have asked you if you think our military members are patriotic. You have failed to answer that question so I'm guessing that you feel that the 30 plus percentage of republicans in the military are unpatriotic. I think they and many other Americans would disagree with that viewpoint.
1
@cennon LOL 😆 You don't know who I am, so you are not in any position to judge my patriotism. I didn't say anything about voting every republican out of office. You have still not provided any factual evidence on why you think the entire GOP is "bought off" that is only an opinion. You have provided no articles, names, links, etc. to prove your statement. Yet I have provided multiple names and information to prove my statements are factual. You can fact check anything I've commented on but you won't because you are stuck in the media lies. It is useless for us to continue this debate as you refuse to answer legitimate questions I have raised and provide factual evidence to back up your claim. Have a great life living in your opinion bubble.

@cennon OK let's start with NAFTA. True more republicans voted for it than democrats but 34 to 27 is hardly a huge difference. Bill Clinton signed NAFTA into law. Joe Biden voted for NAFTA. The democrats had control over the Congress so if they thought it was so bad then they wouldn't have brought the bill up for a vote. I will agree that NAFTA was a disaster but your failure to admit that it was democrats failure too is laughable and not being truthful. After all Bill Clinton could have vetoed the bill. Ross Perot an Independent called it right from the beginning he was against NAFTA. USMCA- all but 10 Senator's voted for USMCA. It passed the democrat controlled House 385 - 41. If it was bad Nancy Pelosi would never have brought it up for a vote. USMCA is also endorsed by the AFL-CIO. I will agree McConnell hasn't brought the anti-corruption bill up for a vote. Maybe someday the residents of Kentucky will vote him out. However, you still refuse to acknowledge that there is corruption in the democratic party too. Joe Biden has had his own problems throughout his 40 plus year career. He has taken huge donations from credit card companies and made it harder for people to get financial help (bankruptcy etc.) with credit card companies. The media refuses to talk about Biden's family and all the money they have received or made from huge corporations and foreign governments. The Clinton's have had their own problems with corruption and shady deals. Ilan Omar was forced to pay fines for campaign finance violations. So again your failure to acknowledge that the democratic party has its own problems and issues with corruption just proves you are partisan and biased. You only want to talk about GOP corruption but fail to understand that it's both parties.

@cennon I can offer many solutions for anti corruption but the problem is we the people don't get too write the bills and make the laws. Every member of Congress is in charge of making laws. It's not just republicans that are at fault for not getting anti-corruption laws passed. If that were true then what explanation do you have for why anti-corruption laws weren't passed when the democrats have been in control of both sides of Congress and the Whitehouse? The answer is neither party wants to vote against their special interests or corporate buddies. If they vote for anti-corruption laws it cuts into their money. Voting Independent or third party is an option but the problem still exists of campaign finances. Both republican and the democrat party have almost unlimited financial backing. If America is ever going to elect a third-party/Independent candidate they need to have money and name recognition. The closest candidate in recent years was Ross Perot. Neither the republican or democrat party is going anywhere. They've both been around for a very long time.

@cennon Go read the article from NBC News September 13, 2020 Democrats used to rail against fark money. You might be surprised.

@cennon I have condemned GOP corruption. I have stated that several times. However, I do deflect to the democrats because you have failed to acknowledge any corruption on their part because they are your favored party. Again like I said earlier you can go ahead and keep your blinders on. I'm done with you. Have a good night.

@cennon Perhaps you should do some research on Citizens United and on past actions regarding campaign financial reform. 1. 1907 The Tillman Act- the first legislation prohibiting monetary donations to campaigns. Enacted by a republican Congress and President. 2. 1947 Taft Hartley Act- restricted labor unions and corporations and requires disclosure of financial and political activities. Enacted by a republican Congress but vetoed by a democrat President. 3. 1971 Federal Election Campaign Act- regulated political campaign funding and spending. Enacted by a democrat Congress and a republican president. 4. 2002 Campaign Reform Act- prohibited political parries and candidates from soliciting soft money. Banned corporations and unions from using their money to finance broadcast ads. Sponsored by a republican and a democrat. This above act was the beginning of Citizens United. So there you can see that republicans have done a fair amount to stop corruption. They are not "rotten to the core" as you have said. They have done work for the people and tried to keep government honest. However, when I posted that article yesterday you defended the democrats for using dark money. They are not just using it in the primary campaign. Your defense of them means that you are ok with democrats using dark money just not republicans using dark money. Which makes you a hypocrite! Corruption is corruption no matter who is doing it. Do yourself a favor by doing some historical research before you condem the whole republican party as rotten, unpatriotic, and not for the people.
1
@cennon So then it's valid to vote out every democrat because they too support dark money in 2020!
1
@cennon You can't say that it's not true because the democrats have been using dark money since 2012 when President Obama ran for re-election. The Disclose Act was first introduced in 2010. The democrats controlled both chambers of Congress so there must have been a problem with the bill for it not to pass.

I'm hoping he gets PA and WI. I have a lot of family in MI. Most of them support Trump.

ACB would make it 6 - 3. There are 9 Supreme Court Justices.
