As for the rest, we'll have to see what your savior can accomplish in the next two years. I suspect the midterms will serve as something of a restoration to the balance of power.

Two Bears, perhaps you might step back from stating I believe Trump is my savior. In fact, that claim has no basis. If you do find a post stating that Trump is my savior you may continue to state that claim.

Funny part of that balance of power....take a look at the elections since BO has been president. Each time the power keeps swinging Republican. The final vote for president went Republican that swings the a majority of the power to Republican's. This was not some strange phenomena. The majority have voted it that way in local elections. Trump's campaign worked the electoral college to their advantage in the states that needed to swing his way. And they did in great numbers. That speaks volumes about the current direction the country has take in the past 8 years.

Then I guess there is no place for me left in this world. May your savior's wrath fall upon me. I mean, there is now, according to you, no way that people will ever oppose God Emperor Donald I's rule. That's it. Might as well call off all future elections.

Now we're in agreement! I've been sighing too. Look, I understand that you're flying high. The Savior of White America has ascended to the Throne of the Gipper. McConnell and Eddie Munster have sworn their fealty to his administration. Looks like you'll have a 1000-year empire on your hands. But the only element of permanency in this world is, in fact, impermanence.

The pendulum will begin to swing the other way, and if you don't believe that then you are going to be in for some unpleasant surprises.

Interesting to note that Republicans were in power during the years leading up to both world wars and when isolationist movements were strong, but Democrats came to power getting the job done.

Interesting to note that Bin Laden and his buddies were well known during the Clinton administration. Vastly ignored. Following administration dealt with 9/11.

Of further note, do you think running into another war behind Russia during an election year is prudent to getting your selection(Hillary) elected? Certainly not. Russia is busy with that.

Hmmm. Mmmm. Hmmmmmmmm........

Bill Clinton is responsible for Operation Cyclone. Another factoid of which I was not aware. Thanks Subsim!

Either the pendulum has swung with great speed or you don't know what you're talking about any more than you did a month ago when you said the GoP was a sinking ship.

I was wrong. See, I can admit that. But I am certain that the country is not bound exclusively to one political direction. Perhaps you are. You would be wrong in that case. Not that you'll admit to it.

I didn't vote for Clinton, so in fact, not my selection. Anyway, the point is it seems to be the one big trend shown by the data.

I did not suggest you voted Clinton. Don't care who voted for and none of my business. Your point is pointless. The data appears to look at the surface only. What precipitated before these administrations came in?
