US Midterm Election 2018 Megathread- It's Kavanaugh

[San Lumen]

He wrote a book saying free and fair elections were bad. I would have to think someone like that would be so controversial that even some Republicans would vote against the pick but considering how they've rubber stamped almost every other pick i have my doubts.

Does that guy even go through a vote process to pick him, though?

Yes the Census Director needs to be confirmed by the Senate.

Well, I guess we get a crazy Census Director, then.

I think such a pick would so continuous even some Republicans would reject it as it would be seen as politicizing the Census but I have doubts.

Trump is on track to try to rig the 2020 census, his potential pick to run it is Thomas Brunell, who has a history of gerrymandering for Republicans' benefit. If there is no blue wave this year, it'll be far easier for the country to regress even more.

The "Kansas experiment" in Trickle Down economics, will be applied on a national basis among many more bad and devastating economic policies. The nation's treasure and resources will be absolutely looted and when everything goes to hell, the people responsible will be long gone; having disappeared but taking their ill gotten gains with them.

Then would my revolution idea sound pleasing?

I dunno, Republicans don't think long term. If they go for it, they're line of reasoning is probably something like "the Dems would never do this to us!"

Those poor naive souls.

If the administration really wants him they could get around the vote. IIRC if they appointed him to the position below director it doesn't require a Senate vote and he then becomes acting director so that could be a workaround if they really want him.

Well, Republicans don't believe in free and fair elections anyway...

They let Pruitt, DeVos, and so on through. I even thought they would deny some of those, but they didn't.

Though there were also a couple they did NOT let through, though more in a way of "Rescind your nomination" and not actually having it up to a vote. But that was only a few.

I feel like that is what they were doing anyway.

That could happen to. The push back would be extreme on such a nominee.

No.

So we should just let them rob the country blind?

[Washington Resistance Army]

No.

That's preferable to ruining the nation for decades, yes.

[San Lumen]

No.

You really need to tone down your rhetoric. You vote people out at the ballot box not through violent overthrow.

Special elections have given hope.

You still need to tone down the stupid rhetoric every other post.

I dont put all faith in in one poll. November is eight months from now. A lot can change

I don’t put faith in any poll until 3-2 months before the election. It’s way to early

Not just one poll - there’s a clear trend.

What trend are we talking about? I haven't paid attention to polls since the election really.

We are still several months out. There is no need to worry about the polls this early on. Call me when we get to September
