So he is double-faced like Bill Clinton? What does his love life have anything to do with his future Presidency?

So now consensual adultery = bragging about getting away with sexual assault that may have actually happened according to multiple accusations from women.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

Honestly? I really don't care either way, but the fact that evangelicals felt comfortable voting for him is very telling.

I do, however, care about the fact that the misogynistic pig brags about sexual harrassment and assault.

His ambitions to "dig coal" do not amount to much. That industry is buggered and at best he can maybe save a few jobs in the short run.

I'm surprised he, as a business man, has not recognised that the renewable industry is going to the growth sector for manufacturing and infrastructure jobs in the future across the world. If he delays and continues to refute climate change as a threat then he will be doing damage to the American jobs he apparently cares about, as all the green jobs will go to industries abroad.

This, this concept of jobs from renewables, needs to be put across to him in plain terms. It's our only shot at changing him and stopping a potentially huge cluster-fuck.

The only thing he's really good at is exploiting tax loopholes and bankruptcy laws to walk away with money while everyone else is left without jobs and money.

What's saddest is the fact people can't learn to just accept their jobs are GONE. They need to get that into the voting blocks skulls as well. At least if I was working in those industries, I could accept that they're freaking gone, even if it sucks. We're going renewable eventually if they like it or not.

I'm talking carrot waving in front of his face here. I don't want him to run the businesses and industry engines, I want him to simply see the positives and allow it to happen. Even a shit-business man would recognise an opportunity, even if you have to hit them in the face with the carrot a couple of times.

Exactly! Their jobs are going up in smoke, if not now then pretty soon. It is in best interest to give them some other work to move into. Sure they won't be able to say "we're coal miners in these parts" but at least they will have jobs.

I saw a program somewhere transferring coal workers to renewable jobs. Seems like a good project.

And with the encouragement to accept feelings over thinking, evidence and logic what we have are blue collar workers that are going to be disappointed then pissed when their manufacturing jobs of yore aren't coming back to them now while the rest of the country collapses into alt-right dystopia for anyone who isn't white cis-het male.

2018 is seriously unlikely to lead to a democratic clean sweep at this stage.

The best chance for the Senate was 2016; there is no good chance for the House.

Quite.

Incidentally, there was an interesting correlation between putting up people who had run/been elected before, and them failing to get into the Senate.
