He's going to diminish him saying that his show wasn't successful and he got pushed out. Olbermann hasn't stuck around because he's a major *******, not because he doesn't do good work.

Yeah the news media isn't helping the growing distrust of them. Something so transparent and you have people who pretended to be the bastion of truth going up there talking about he's Presidential now. Weak.

Eric Trump is the type of dude that thinks he can talk his way out of a police interrogation, but ends up snitching on the whole crew.
Dude is not smart.

North Korea is looking for trouble. If China decides to help, that would be great. If not, we will solve the problem without them! U.S.A.

I remember thinking, after Obama won his 2nd election, we're not gonna have a white, male president in a long time...boy was i wrong
White dudes were really in a panic and thought they lost "their country".

Why would you ever think that?
If you want some good info on these type of things, check out the Malcolm Gladwell podcast. In the first episode, he goes into people's mindset on some of this stuff:

I don't think it was too outrageous to think.......But I mean I definitely didn't think that though
Obama was clearly better than most recent president, in policy and integrity, and the backlash against this was massive, me being young an naive didn't expect it to be as bad as it was. Even worst, white people in his own party gave him no cover. Some even used racist attacks as a vehicle to criticize the president as well. Many progressives were pedaling the ******** that if Obama was more aggressive, the Tea Party would be less upset at him and less racist.
. White moderates were attacking like they would be the one to bring the president to heel policy wise. White Liberals thought we lived in a post racial world
. And white conservatives that hated Obama's guts used his election as a shield against racism on some "we have a black president, there is no discrimination' Once I saw that I was on some "Welp, I guess we really didn't turn a corner"
Now Democrats have an advantage in the presidential elections. The stars really did align for Trump, but the map will still look better for his challenger in 2020 than for him. If voter ID laws get rolled back, and voting access increased, then he is even more screwed.
Also the Dems probably will not nominate a rich white man (maybe self made but not born rich) for a foreseeable future. So in 2012 it was reasonable to think if they go Obama, Hillary, then a Hispanic president, by then we are in the 2030s.
But white supremacy had different ideas.

Alternative History
Thats what i meant Rusty. I thought, kuz Romney was beaten so badly, that maybe America did turn a corner. But then Trayvon Martin happened, Mike Brown happened, Freddie Gray n so many others, that i realized we were the same America, we just had better technology. The Whitelash we saw this past election really was the most opportune time for Trump to win. I think he's the president those that voted for him deserve. But, kuz he wont just be their president, hes the president of the whole United States, even those that dont deserve him as president.
Say what you want about the man, but Obama really exuded class, dignity, n honor as president. Things i will never be able to say about the boy in offoce now.

Thoughts on the 2018 midterm elections? Many people seem to be hoping for some large upset in the midtterm elections but the numbers don't look so good. Republicans are only defending 9 seats and the democrats/independents are defending 25. The odds of taking back the senate seem pretty low just off the difference in seats the parties are defending

The map is horrible. Liberals dropped the ball when we had good maps.
Best case scenario is the GOP picks up three seats in the Senate, and the Dems cut the lead in the house in half.
Dems need to pick up Governor mansions, state legislators to insure voter access for 2020.
