These two groups do not look the same.

"What? We're diverse!" exclaimed the GOP spokesman. "Look - we have a woman. And we have a guy with an eye-patch! See? Diversity!"

Dem men should be ashamed

No chance nationally unless female or minority

Oh, sorry.  Forgot about Biden.

Heh.

What percentage do you think white men should be in Congress? All of them?

Good to see you are reading various sites, Needs.

What do you think the answer is?

The answer is that McConnell is one of the most disingenuous people in the country.

Especially since the only thing he discusses substantially is how the Democratic House leadership should not investigate Trump.

He would be hypocritical, if he actually had any values beyond "say whatever he thinks will help him."

[josh]

Makes sense?

Immigration
The United States must adopt an immigration system that serves the national interest. To restore the rule of law and secure our border, President Trump is committed to constructing a border wall and ensuring the swift removal of unlawful entrants. To protect American workers, the President supports ending chain migration, eliminating the Visa Lottery, and moving the country to a merit-based entry system. These reforms will advance the safety and prosperity of all Americans while helping new citizens assimilate and flourish.

Some of it might make sense if he actually meant it, luee.

But he doesn't. He brings in foreign employees to his properties. His wife's parents came into the country through chain migration. And by "merit-based," he means people he feels have merit. See also his wife's visa.

And the wall won't work.

It is under 50 having fallen 11% in popularity since February. Premiums have gone up. If the democrats want to reown the mess they created then have at it.

Some adjustments:

https://www.kff.org/interactive/kaiser-health-tracking-poll-the-publics-views-on-the-aca/#?response=Favorable--Unfavorable&aRange=twoYear

B) The rise in premiums was a predictable result of Republicans eliminating the individual mandate.  Republicans own that.

Good. At least in that regard the GOP did the right thing.

C) The point is that Democrats did own the ACA in these midterms (while the GOP ran away from their vote to repeal) and the result was a win that matched the third highest popular vote margin in any election since 1992, including Presidential.

LOL. The democrats own nothing on healthcare.  They never have.

Like Cinama girl deciding last minute she would back building the wall

Now watch how she votes

Sexist pig.

Not to mention that I would love a  citation for your claim.

So, The House Democrats were elected to investigate Trump?
Not according to any poll you or Needs cited.

Jeff Flake puts the pressure on.

[josh]

On Wednesday, Mattis sought to distance the US military from the criticism that the President used the deployment to rev up his base prior to the election, emphasizing that the border mission is not unique in a historical context.
"There's nothing new under the sun," he said.

"I think many of you are aware that President Wilson 100 years ago, a little over a 100 years ago, deployed the US Army to the Southwest border. That's over a century ago. The threat then was Pancho Villa's troops, a revolutionary raiding across the border into the United States, New Mexico, in 1916 and there's a more recent history of DoD support on the border: It spans four administrations and both political parties," Mattis added.

This is almost as good as the Justice Dept's answer to when a president last appointed a temporary Attorney General.

Trouble for tax payers around the corner:

I can imagine a lot of tax payers will be unhappy with the GOP and the President should this analysis be on target.

Not according to any poll you or Needs cited.

Actually, the poll did include that - almost as many folks were voting explicitly against Trump as were voting about Health Care.

But your question, as usual, has nothing to do with the item you are responding to.

Has nothing to do with my religion, Redd. Don't know if it connects to yours.

But it does have something to do with my societal beliefs.

Why don’t you call it Obamacare?

Oh, yeah. That would imply Democrats gave millions of people access to healthcare and the Republicans keep trying to take it away.

Just like Dickvitale was told back in the day; “Once you give folks a program that helps make their lives better God help you if you try to take it away.”

Y’all been trying to repeal Soc.Sec since 1937 and Medicare since 1966.
