GOD BLESS AMERICA.

Possibly, but what does that say about the democrats given that they look set to lose for a 2nd time to such a figure of ridicule?

It says more about the voters.

It says more about the voters.

It says more about what voters are prepared to put up with. Look at the results coming in today in Ireland, voters would rather have the IRA than Leo Varadkar.

Isn't that a bit like saying Hillary Clinton is President and we're still in the EU.

Also blatant gerrymandering by the Republicans.

No. Its simply a reflection that FPTP and electoral colleges need to be in the bin.

That is typical of what Trump would say and not true. Obviously some voters would.

The forecast result does not show that; it shows about the same number for each with another party getting more.

They were fine when Clinton and Obama got elected?

Can’t see why we seem to be obsessed with Trump while our country is turning into a third world **** hole.

Same ideology, same MO

Johnson and Cummings have imported it with the help of Steve Bannon

Sinn Fein didn't put up enough candidates to win an overall majority, such were their low expectations. Had they put up more, they may have achieved that such was the massive swing toward them in the elections.
Exit polls are showing the three major parties neck and neck, two of those parties have vowed never to form a coalition with Sinn Fein (IRA), and Fine Gael and Fianna Gael aren't keen on each other but could possibly form a grand coalition to keep the terrorists out, or the terrorists could form a coalition with either.
It will be a few days before the full results are out but it's looking likely SF will have most votes, it's down to who forms a coalition with whom. Either way, Leo's toast.
So, in short, voters have deserted the ruling party and the second party, in their droves, to support the IRA.

What part of this is either 'Trumpian' or 'untrue'??

You said:

Unless you meant something obscure, that is not true.

Therefore untrue and Trumpian.

 

[fillyboy]

that is not true.

Read it again, it is true. Varadkars out, IRA are in.
