That is why they defend and rely so heavily on gerrymandering, voter suppression, and the electoral college. Well the 2020 elections may flip some governorships and state houses - perhaps we'll see some redrawing and maybe some SC rulings to even the playing field. The GOP won in 2000 by a hair's breath in the electoral college. 2016 they won the electoral college only because the Dems nominated the worst possible candidate and Trump still lost the popular vote.

We're post truth now, unfortunately. Who needs the truth when we have Fox News. Just tune in daily and they’ll tell you all you need to know. 1 Link to comment

The guy who's "University" was shut down and forced to pay $25M in settlements for law suits related to illegal business practices. The guy who's hotels the Saudis always stay at when they're in town. The guy who has scammed his way out of taxes by manipulating the value of his units. The guy who has Russian mobster buy and live in his condos to launder money. The guy who has massive loans with Deutsche Bank, who oddly received similar amounts of money from the Russians... All verifiable facts. But this guy is interested in rooting out corruption... 3 3 Link to comment

No. Remember the LA Times is a pretty conservative publication. It's not the first time they've made a slight error on the side of Republicans. 1 Link to comment

"It's an election year" is not an excuse to not fully investigate these allegations. So wait, Republicans believe that neither confirming a SC Justice nor holding the president accountable are allowed during election years? Isn't the ENTIRE POINT of this to get to a place where all the facts are "out there?" Isn't the whole point for people to not kind of know the facts but have no doubt about the facts? I mean what the fresh hell. I can't believe these are the people we elect to lead us. 2 Link to comment
