Trump's been making a fool of himself in front of a camera since he descended a golden escalator to tell the world about the rapists being sent by Mexico.

It's still mind boggling to me that there are still so many people who get surprised when he says something horrible considering that that was the starting point.

riddle me this or at least help understand why are people pissed off about these executive orders by slapping the word unconstitutional on them and the same wasn't really done with the EO for the ACA?

I honestly have no clue. I feel like the executive orders could do more but some folks are acting like Trump just signed an executive order opening Auschwitz II.

Do you honestly believe that the ACA was done by executive order?

If you seriously unironically legitimately non-sarcastically believe this, please log off of nationstates and google the word "obamacare"

Sounds like they are seriously asking a question, you've got a chance to seriously answer somebody and explain to them how these executive orders are unconstitutional.

Three: Vermont, Colorado, and Oklahoma.

He missed 23 States plus DC (Alaska, California, Connecticut, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Florida, Hawaii, Indiana, Kansas, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, Maine, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Nebraska, New Mexico, Nevada, New York, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Washington), has five pending (Arkansas, Missouri, Ohio, West Virginia, Wisconsin), and withdrew/dismissed from two (Illinois and New Jersey).

But if you want the deadlines for each State, here they are: he's missed/failed on a majority of them:

I'm confident he can win with just those three.

It's a Democratic Internal Poll done by Kate Bolz's Campaign, which surveyed 400 people. I highly, highly doubt the margin will be 2 points, especially since this area is super red. NE-1 or NE-3 are not going blue; NE-2 will probably.


Yeah, its gonna go to Trump by a much larger margin then 2 points, but it'll be closer then 2016. Biden is running up the margins in Lincoln, NE. Makes sense too, it's urban and college town.

Also assuming Trump doesn't individually shoot and kill every person who voted Democrat in 2016 and 2018.

The ACA was not an executive order so no idea why you are comparing an executive order to a law.

That's also if the FBI doesn't take every single urban dweller hostage a week before election day.
