Does the government have any leverage on ideologues in universities? They hold certain purse strings, don't they?

I don't know what you do. But if someone posts that the Tea Party was a religious movement, then they've lost the plot.

I didn't - thanks. And I wrote tea party (no capitals) and edited to 'type'

If you are saying that 'tea party type' Republicans generally do not portray very conservative pro-life and often creationist views - despite many of them actually not being Christian at all (as in having no Faith, only 'views') - then, ah well, you are defo deluded and really naïve to boot.

Oft heard 'I am not religious and not a believer, but to save our culture we have to support our Christian Church and way of life, or the Muslims will take over (heard this 100s of times in the UK too btw). The concept of the 'cultural Jew' has long been a reality. that of the 'cultural Christian' is just as relevant and prevalent today. Deny it if you wish, no skin off my nose.

Why do you think she was in a closet?
She is well known and has had a web site for many years where she publishes her opinions and has been a Professor at Georgetown for almost 10 years.

I was not quoting you about Brexit, I was quoting ME!

"ensuring the facts and sources were as legit as possible." Reminds me of King Canute trying to stop the tide.

Matthew 7:3

I'm in NYC. The talk amongst many here is the fact that 53% of white women nationwide voted for Trump; while 94% of black women voted for Hillary. (If you exclude the Mid-atlantic, New England and Calafornia the number of white women for Trump is even higher.)

For many it is incomprehensible that a majority of white women in America would still vote for Trump after all his revelations. For them, the only logical conclusion is that these women put their 'whiteness' ahead of their gender. I don't totally understand that argument, but that seems to be the state of affairs for liberal democrats in NYC.

The Obama coalition is turning into the Obama circular firing squad. It won't be long until there's none left standing.

Your attempt to shift the goal posts on this isn't working. The Tea Party is not a religious movement. Full stop.

And their movement to restore constitutional constraints on the federal government probably looks pretty good to Dems now that Trump, of all people, has won the presidency. Too bad they were all-in with Obama's misuse of executive power no matter what crap he'd pull.

circular firing squad. i like it.

its what happens when you aim for the victim vote. at some point someone is gonna claim to be the real victim. the previous ally cannot identify with this anymore and starts realizing its all bullshit.

like how the labourer went from darling of the left to enemy of the left.

What if they simply voted the one they want to be?

This is unrelated - darlings, can ya'll multiquote? This thread is pretty long as it is.

Can I say "darlings" now when Trump trumped all the PC shinenigans?

Has it dawned on them yet that Trump won because Democrats voted for him? Many republicans stayed home.

I love real life irony.

It shows integrity and dedication from newly nominated president Donald Trump who won't accept presidential salary. He is already worth over $3.7billion in assets, therefore salary could well go to noble purposes like charities.

Sounds good or maybe it is just the Russians pulling his tail

Personally, I wouldn't appreciate that kind of showmanship, nor do I think it is anybody's business. I don't think he should even publicise that. Not necessary.

As I pointed out elsewhere on the web, Trump won because the DNC (and RNC) are totally out of touch with reality.

Bernie vs. Rand Paul would have been a nice election, instead we got the candidates from hell.

No - it's official...

Trump election: Italy's Berlusconi accepts comparisons

He didn't publicize that. Media are working on his image.

Until the day when voting in General elections is not secret, we will never have stats like this that can be proven. It would have to require a system similar to when you insert your biometric passport in the machine at an airport, facial recognition matches up, and then, only then are you allowed to publically cast your vote. Until that day, this is purely speculation and conjecture.

It seems that Hillary's more vocal supporters will have to deal with some nasty stuff, suppose this is part of the "newly found freedom".
I hope they are as stubborn as you are, or if not - develop a really good sense of humour. I tend to believe that social satire will find new ways to manifest itself, we'll probably see a revival of this genre. A real collective soul searching - some might say.

Yes, he has, and yes you can, but it would make you sound like Zsa Zsa Gabor.

Zat vould be "daalings".

As it sinks further in, Trump's campaign is looking like the most brilliant political campaign ever. He baited his opponents with statements that they gobbled up and virtue-signalled on en-masse. They were quite satisfied and pleased with themselves, and assumed it was enough for their victory. They thought they just needed to top it off with Beyonze, JayZ and Madonna.

Meanwhile, without them realising it, he connected with real people and showed them he understood their issues. His opponents never dealt with the their issues. So he robbed them behind their backs.

Fking Brilliant!

Now THAT is the kind of brilliance I would want in a president. Hillary's performance is NOT what I want to see in a president.

We'll see if he demonstrates this aptitude in his upcoming challenges.

I don't think I have an accent anymore, unfortunately. Just a few words, darling is not one of them (NYC cuoffee, pasta, bamboo..as any non-anglophone picks up whatever phonetic tic that walks by).

No Gabor.

I would not credit Trump for the strategy. I do have a feeling there is a slight underdog phenomenon, I wonder. It attracted people.
