How is it even possible for Trump to win a general election when 75% of women won't vote for him?

What you're "just saying" is precisely the kind of insulting crap that alienates people from each other and helps cause the tremendous division among the American people.  

For all the continuous, mind-numbing criticism of Obama for supposedly being "divisive," there is nothing more divisive than the very same people who constantly accuse him of this.  

Just spend a few days seriously listening to the pollution of conservative talk radio, droning on and on and on and on and on with their unending talking points, continually bashing "the left," "liberals," "progressives," whatever --  day after day, month after month, year after year, making of non-conservatives a singular, dehumanized group to be despised, disrespected and hated.  

And y'all say Obama is the divisive factor in this nation?  Are you kidding me???   This is blindness in the nth degree.

Linda, you speak the truth . . . . the right wing machine working to demonize and disrespect the Obama administration NEVER sleeps, 24/7/365 dehumanize and tear down  . . . . . . . so well said . . . . thank you!!

I disagree....Obama was elected President to serve ALL the people he has pitted democrats/ republicans against each other more than any other President. It started day 1 and never let up.

That's pure bullshit Joani and you damned well know it.  It was your idol Mitch McConnell who started the ball rolling with his initial post Obama inaugurational statement:  Our principle goal will be to replace Obama. 

No matter what the issue, even when it was one which originated with the republicans, your hate team shut off Obama at every step.

Your game was to make sure that Obama got nothing worthwhile done.  And you failed miserably.  He's accomplished more than either of the two Bushes.  

While you're digging for a response, tell us please, just what the republicans who control both houses of congress this year have accomplished, other than the 9,547th bill to do away with Obamacare.  LOL[/b]

Don't know about "forever," nor am I a ratings expert or a sociologist, but it certainly seems true of modern U.S. society that what sells is loud, angry contentiousness.  From video games to TV shows (especially the reality variety, but certainly not only that genre) to talk radio to movies, what a significant portion of  the people seem to want -- what succeeds --  is greater and greater escalation of conflict (including the violent kind), a continual raising of the bar on interpersonal battles. (And Trump, from The Apprentice to the presidential campaign, has tapped right into that wellspring and encouraged it, now hasn't he?)

Hell, as I may've told y'all before, I even wrote to HGTV last year and advised them I was losing it for one of my long time favorite shows, "House Hunters," because they couldn't seem to film one episode lately without pitting one half of a couple against the other, to the point where couples were not just arguing but actively disrespecting each other on screen.  Disgustingly obvious that most if not all of that ugliness was manufactured just to generate ratings.  And what does that say about the viewership? Scary.

I can sympathize/empathize with my husband who, when he listens to conservative talk radio and the continual negative characterizations made thereon, the daily ration of anti-liberal, anti-Obama B.S., says he wishes there could be a law against coming on the air and influencing thousands if  not millions of people with often-blatant falsehoods about our president and/or harshly insulting generalizations about other millions of their fellow Americans.  

Look, this is certainly not a trend in my country that I'm proud of nor feel happy and comforted to see occurring.  On the contrary, it's deeply disturbing to me.  But do I want censorship, Pkr?  Of course not, and I question your assumption that "many leftists" would.  (Look instead to some of the religious right folks if you want to see censorship moves in action.)

No, what I would heartily wish for instead is a simple return to civility, to measured discourse, in our nation, but I'm sorely afraid it's a lost cause.   We have unleashed the verbal savagery amongst us, and it is ours.

Keep a hammer in this woman's hand.  She nailed it!

Absolutely . . . . . . she can pick up the hammer!!!!

Who needs a source and link when we have it directly from the mouth of McConnell  himself??  Just WATCH THE VIDEOS in post No. 31 in this thread.   Listen to something besides the sound of your own voice for a change.

I did, obviously you did not as that is NOT what he said.  Again, in your desperation, you misquote and therefore LIED.  Again.

And, "no doubt," you have hard and fast EVIDENCE of these crimes and misdemeanors, yes?   Care to cite chapter and verse of where these loose accusations of yours have been proven, other than in reactionary right wing rags, if that?

Here is a partial list of EXACTLY how it was signed into law against the WILL OF THE PEOPLE.

 With bribes, payoffs, back room deals, probably blackmail and ALL ON THE TAXPAYERS DOLLAR.

When poster Markle insults your intelligence, use one of his own tools against him:

Then you have ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS, NPR, CNN, MSNBC, CNBC, the Comedy Channel along with virtually all print media led by the New York Times who are  proud of the far left status.  So much so that they actually view themselves as being objective!
