For liberal pit'rs: The Silver Linings

[CNS]

A bunch of his supporters who bought in to the MAGA component of the campaign are probably lower middle class ppl who lost jobs in certain industries that simply arent coming back.  They vote for him because they want to have a secure, well paying job again, like what used to be more plentiful in various manufacturing.  A bunch of those jobs are gone due to automation.  We arent getting rid of automation.

As for the jobs that aren't, we aren't bringing auto manufacturing back, shoe manufacturing back, textiles manufacturing back, etc. 

How will Don get these guys jobs?

This will hurt the enthusiasm. 

If they don't get Muslims banned, don't get a wall, don't get high paying jobs back, all they are going to have left to hold tight to is that there isn't some lib in charge.  Will that be enough?  Nope.  Don needs to do the wall and ban muslims otherwise no second term, imo.

None of that crap is happening.  It's just stuff he said to win the bet.

[Emo EMAW]

It's the jobs.  If the economy sucks in 4 he's gone. 

[CNS]

The economy isn't horrible.  He will have to do something other than jobs to show them he is working on it.  If he does that, he can bullshit his way into another 4 yrs by saying jobs take time.

Either that, or he will have to spend a crap load on infrastructure, like Hill was running on, to create a fuckload of construction related jobs.

The other way would be to foster the creation of some new product/tech and the manufacturing of it here.  4yrs isn't enough time to do that. 

He has to keep those enthused by his side by showing them something other than jobs or spend a bunch on govt building projects.

The republicans have spent the last eight years telling us how shitty the economy is, they have raised the bar for him.

[Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)]

The economy is so fragile we've had near 0% interest rates for like 8 years, and a declining workforce, etc etc

He's gonna take her number and double it!

I can't imagine why anyone would run for reelection at 74 years old. He probably will, though.

An 81 year old Iowa senator won another 6 year term last night, Washington must be a drug. I don't think any of these people voluntarily walk away.

It actually creeps me out.  Conspiracy theory Emo thinks they are indebted to whomever got them elected and they can't get out.

We should really have age limits. Anyone who is 70 or older should not be able to seek a 4 year term.

Should be tied to the avg life expectancy of their district.

Maybe. I'm not worried about a candidate dying so much as losing his cognitive abilities, though. That seems to happen to just about everyone starting in their upper 60s.

Was the first Silver linings thread that was started by a lib not good enough for you? Can we m make this thread about Silver Linings Playbook? I hate Bradley Cooper but love the crap out of that movie.

How can you hate Bradley Cooper?

Easy. That terrible movie Aloha alone warrants daily kicks to the sack for him.

The expression he has on his face makes him look like a dickhead. What's the male version of RBF?

Bradley Cooper sucks, it is known

oh his face is weird? get out of here

[nicname]

His talk of infrastructure had me wondering if he might be planning some sort of FRDesque government works program. I have no clue how he could pull that off.

I love Bradley Cooper.  At first I was intimidated by him but now wow just feels like we are buds.

I'm fully convinced he believes about one thing he said "policy" wise...that the trade deals aren't the best....all that other crap he said to get votes.

I didn't say his face is weird and that woman is like 70 years old.

We need age limits for voters. If you are less than 4 years from your district average life expectancy, you can't vote on who will govern us survivors.
