I agree with the point I think Sebby is trying to make. Democrats and Progressives are flourishing in cities, particularly big ones and the coasts, and lots of people across the country dislike Trump, but the Dems are severely overplaying their hand and risk losing the few red state Ds that are left. It is just the constant over-reaction to every single thing that grows so tedious. Their current message may play well with the people they see around them every day, but they seem to be leaning towards nominating someone like Kamala Harris or Bernie, and while they may even win the popular vote again, I don't see the current message taking the Electoral College. And I don't think that the talk by a few of abolishing the Electoral College is helping the cause either. [ETA: I don't know how much traction this is really getting on the Dem side, but my unsolicited advice is that you should kill the abolish ICE talk if you want to win the presidency.]
A lot of people who don't care for Trump voted for him BECAUSE of SCOTUS. It was the overwhelming reason evangelicals fell in line. On the part of the Dems, it seems unfortunate that somebody nuked the judicial filibuster because elections have consequences or something.
I'm not a fan of the whole concept of "owning the libs" but today I am glad that Hillary isn't president. At least until we end up with Supreme Court Justice Jeanine Pirro.

Yes, yes, that Trump man can certainly be a bit of a boor, calling the Mexicans rapists and saying that the African countries are shitholes and separating those little children from their families and all that. Dreadful stuff, indeed. And I certainly don't support any of that tomfoolery, but if there is anything that is even worse than all of that, it is the horribly tedious complaining by the liberal elites about these sorts of things. If I have to listen to one more so-called progressive say that it is not o.k. to mock dying veterans, or children with Downs Syndrome, I swear on the bible that I might just nod off. That Sebastian fellow is spot on -- can we just talk about automation? I suppose the only answer is to vote for Trump again to teach those boring complainers to keep their mouths shut.
