US Politics/2016 Election Pick Your Poison Master Thread

They agree on one thing. Trump gets credit for the results. Credit for keeping the senate and losing the house. 

especially many upstate NY counties..big upset

[ChaimMoskowitz]

I'm predicting not, unless it's provided willingly by Trump.

Trump will use executive privilege to block it. It will bounce around for years until a court makes a ruling on the matter. It took a Republican Congress three years to get documents on Eric Holder.

Would returns before he was president be covered by EP?

NY state Senate goes Dem

I do think Trump brought out voters in Florida and Ohio today. The Democrats were hoping for a knockout tonight all across the board, and that did not happen. The House has historically gone to the party opposing the president. Republicans picked up a much more significant number of seats in 2010.

He would probably lose a court battle but may be able to drag it long enough.

They need also won the Senate. But Acosta feels they are the same.

Good chance of it.

Honest question;
Under what authority will the Democrats demand them? Do they have any right to demand  private personal tax returns?

It is in thelaw for the IRS to give it to them.

This is different climate than 2010. With the economy the way it is you would expect a red wave. Also remember the senate this time (don't remember 2010 numbers) was way in the R's favor. 26 D seats up compared to 9 for the R's.

...and @ExGingi will never understand that every vote matters.

While @ChaimMoskowitz needs to go back to geography 101 (or is it geopolitics 101) to figure out that FL isn't NY and NY isn't FL.

The is why they need to teach social studies in Jewish schools so one would understand that every vote matters.

We can come up with differences on everything based on a bias. Lets just leave all that stuff out of it and point out the scumbags.

White supremacists are definitely more likely R and have been for a while. Black supremacists (A much smaller group) and those whose bigotry is more focused are more likely D and have been for a while. Which is larger in number? Hard to know. I don't see much relevance to the question anyhow.

That's a good question. We'll have to wait and see. I have a sixth sense that Trump would voluntarily release it. Investigations in Congress almost always lead to nowhere. Benghazi, Fast and Furious, IRS emails etc.

Trump has one thing going for him: people are already used to him being dirty, so there really aren't any surprises.

What about anti-gays?

Why is it important to teach propaganda?

Another data point coming out from tonight, Obama did nothing to help Ds. Not a single D who invited him to rally with has won...

We hear this all the time but IMHO everyone has a breaking point. Waiting for the numbers to see how suburban women voted this time.

Little late to be drinking Kool-Aid, no?

What I consider anti gay is typically only part of white supremacist type ideology. I don't consider someone feeling the lifestyle is immoral to be anti gay unless they feel it is actionable.

FOX called FL senate race for R(flipped)

could somebody phone Nevada and tell them to pls start counting their votes...
