The American Politics Thread

It appears Bob Woodward's book Fear: Trump in the White House is available on the Internet Archive to read:

Here are the stats without all the imaginative spinning. No one has ever tabulated stats by type of degrees, that never happened.
But here are the real stats, you can see its quite obvious trump is popular with the under-educated

Pew Research Center:
"Overall, whites with a four-year college degree or more education made up 30% of all validated voters. Among these voters, far more (55%) said they voted for Clinton than for Trump (38%). Among the much larger group of white voters who had not completed college (44% of all voters), Trump won by more than two-to-one (64% to 28%)."

But you don't have to be defensive, that isn't necessarily bad is it?

I don't see it as a cherry pick........What's the problem with President Trump hiring women for these powerful positions? Where did I say I have a problem with Trump hiring women? Don't we judge an administration by the time period of its existence rather than by the "beginning of the third year?" Obviously you don't know what cherry-picking is, and based on the source you chose, you don't know what a reliable source is either.   Mr. Aardvark said, " Don't we judge an administration by the time period of its existence rather than by the "beginning of the third year?"  What is Aardvark really saying?   I'll translate-   " You Catcher10, can't judge an administration...EVER!  Because you disagree with me.  I'm the only one worthy to judge! And, this thread is strewn with my judgements...Judgements at the beginning of the 1st year of Trump's presidency and the beginning of the 2nd year of Trump's Presidency.  Heck, I judged Trump's Presidency a few days ago!" Hey Catcher! Noticed how I cherrypicked Aardvark's post. Actually, I plucked low-hanging fruit. It's all low-hanging fruit.

I provided the stats that backed up the statement that trump has more appeal to the under educated, that's all. Its just one more of the many things trump has in common with George W.

There is no condemnation in presenting this fact, if you feel defensive about it, that is your choice.

In other news, Alabama has now passed a law banning almost all abortions, including those from rape and incest... Thoughts?

Now that the Supreme Court leans more right, I think we're going to be seeing more of this down the road. Abortion probably won't be the only thing they challenge.
