Is talking about leaving the Senate and returning to his home state to run again for Governor. WV, tks to Obama and Clinton, is now a Republican state so one thinks another Republican Senate seat.

Lord, make it so! -
Correct me if I'm wrong, but in many states the Governor appoints someone to fill a vacated Senate seat until such time as an election can be held, yes? As Governor, Manchin would probably appoint a Democrat who might be considered to have a real shot at winning said election, yes?
Meanwhile in Alabama I hear Roy Moore is itching for a rematch.Last edited by togor; 06-17-2019, 03:00.Comment

By the way Togor, how will the Democrats feel with President Trump's third term in 2024?

Sure can and this is how. Look at what the dems have put forth, a bunch of air head ideas @ best. The President goes on tv stating that with the consent of the Senate "WE" are temporally suspending Presidential elections and asks for a vote in the Senate. By a simple majority vote the Senate concurs with the resolution. Dems go to court who issues an order vacating what the Senate has done, now comes the fun part. Who is going to enforce the order? The President orders AG Barr to stand down, the AG complies. The President is Commander of our Armed Forces who like this President so they too stand down. Under President Jackson, a Democrat, who was given an order by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court not to act against the Cherokee Indians in their removal. Jackson disregarded the order, "He doesn't have the troops to enforce the order!" so President Jackson did what he wanted to do.
What can the Regressive do but wring their hands. Protest, riots, cry? Many people would agree with this action. The regressives have thumbed their nose @ the Constitution for the last 100 years, take a look at the way the 2nd Amendment has been trampled on. When I was learning to be a medic our instructor stated that sometimes one had to hurt them to help them, this could be the case of an ailing Uncle Sam. Maybe now regressives will do as promised and leave the country for greener pasture, sure wouldn't hurt my feelings if they all did!

I got to wondering....is there a single specific issue where the general sentiment of the forum is aligned with the popular sentiment of the nation? Probably there is but darned if it comes to mind. Which means that politics here is an endless struggle for minority positions. Not exactly what they taught us in civics class, that the minority is supposed to prevail in all matters. Might explain some of the crabbiness and sensitivity. Anyways, Trump seems like a natural president for such a faction, he who maxes out at 42% approval and whose disapproval has a floor north of 50%. It has been said Americans get the president they deserve. Let's hope we deserve better in 2020, yes?Comment

No, we have the President our Nation needs! Trump is far from perfect, he is a darn sight better then ANYTHING the Democrats have to offer. People generally will vote their wallet and in this case President Trump is a proven winner. In my area more jobs that need filled, crowds of people buying with money, restaurants full have to now wait in line. The men who built my cabin are now booked up 3 -4 months, can't get them back until mid September. Three new business are opening up in town HIRING WORKERS! OU looks to have more students enrolling this fall placing a demand on more local services. Daughter is working 40 hours per week, wife is at 36.
With the best economy in 50 years, why go back? If President Trump used Obama talking about needing a magic wand and jobs not coming back this will sink any Democratic contender! Economically speaking what do the Democrats have to offer? Spend and Tax, Harris is talking about giving a federal pay raise to teachers. This sounds like making teachers federal workers now doesn't it?

Sam, I agree there are situations where a standing president can remain in office past the 2nd term. I was just saying there can't be a 3rd term "election". When obama was in office there was a lot of fear that he would cause rioting and numerous protesting. As long as there is civil unrest the elections can be delayed and there is no "set in stone" time frame of that delay. Luckily and somewhat a miracle it didn't happen.Comment

I agree, when the Republic is in danger of being replaced with a Democracy sane people need to act to prevent this perversion. All one has to do is to look at how well the City/States are/have been run under their "enlightened" administration. Look what happened in Athens, TN in 1946 to a restoration of a Republican led form of government from a tyrannical Democracy.

huh?
school must have changed a lot since I last went,
and if that is true (enlarged part of the quote)
the there would be less complaining about the past election
since Hilz had the higher popular vote, using the statement 'the minority is supposed to prevail in all matters'
sounds to me using that logic that all should be OK with Trumps election, since he was the minority popular vote,,Comment
