The response by Democratic leaders Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer has slightly larger preliminary numbers than the president's address.
That's bad, he lives and dies on ratings.

Walking out of a meeting in a temper tantrum. Its what good leaders do when the other side refuses to negotiate.
He was trying to recapture the ratings. Also I thought you were on his side.

Another reason why it's a bad idea to be bragging about Chuck and Nancy's ratings? It means more people saw it! Why is that a problem for the Democrats? Well, let's ask look at this little exchange between MSNBC's Brian Williams and former Democrat strategist James Carville:

Quote:
“This Chuck and Nancy visual tonight launched a thousand memes while they were still talking,” Williams said. “There was an American Gothic meme, there was a ‘Your mother and I are very upset you stayed out so late’ meme. And someone has to account for Bobby Jindal his guest appearance in 'Gone with the Wind' and for Rubio drinking water. But this visual from tonight goes down in the pantheon.”

Quote:
“I don’t think they wanted to do it. I don’t think they should’ve done it. And I guarantee you at the staff meeting tomorrow morning, somebody is gonna get, you know, chewed out pretty good about this whole thing,” Carville chuckled. “I’ve been more excited about colonoscopies than he was giving his speech tonight. He didn’t want to be there!”

When even MSNBC is saying that the Democrats screwed up, well, you get the picture....

Democrats yesterday: without slaves who will pick our cotton?

Democrats today: wihout illegals who will pick our fruit?

Two points:

1. The Dixiecrats became Republicans in the 60’s

2. The majority of our fruit is picked in foreign countries and shipped here. Never heard of NAFTA?

1) completely untrue, only one Dixiecrat moved over, his name was strom thurman.

2) plenty of fruit is picked here

Democrats are forever the party of racists.


Lol D’Souza. What’s next Nausi? Ben Shapiro videos?!! Lmao!
Not an argument

Ok I’ll bite.

D’souza is attempting to frame the point that the Dixiecrats only had one politician and was a minuscule movement, because Strom Thurmond was the only “self identified” Dixiecrat politician that ran for president.

This is disingenuous at best. D’Souza ignores the splintered Democratic Party of Northern and Southern Democrats for the sake of framing his point. He conveniently ignores that Southern Democrats are Dixiecrats and chooses to focus solely on the brief moment they made a party platform with the same name.

Southern Democrats started breaking from the party in 1948. Do you know what began in 1948? No? Desegregation.

The splintering furthered in 1964 when the Civil Rights Act was signed by Lyndon Johnson a Texan Democrat.

Then comes the election of 1964 where these Southern Democrats (Dixiecrats) shifted party lines and voted for Barry Goldwater in the Presidental election.

Goldwater espoused a low-tax, small government philosophy, and opposed the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Goldwater won his home state and swept the states of the Deep South, most of which had not voted for a Republican presidential candidate since the end of Reconstruction in 1877. Which is the moment the cultural shift in the Republican Party began where “racist Democrats” moved to Republican Party. I’m sure you’ve heard of the Southern Strategy... maybe you haven’t. Just know the conversion of the party culminated in 1980 with Ronald Reagan.

Also you know identified as a Democrat but became a Republican in 1964?

Strom Thurmond.

Which is why: LoL D’Souza.

If its true that a bunch of party people swotched from demorcat to republican, Zero should be able to name them. But because its all ***, you won’t. Strom Thurman is one of a very small few from the 1860 onward, and clearly the only promenant one.

You should really educate yourself bud. The south became more republican as it became less racist. The democrats have always been the party thats full of racists. After all they started the KKK.

After all, LBJ was the one who said “I’ll have hose n!ggers voting democart for 200 years” I’m sure the party was really broken up about it.

Nausi is literally trying to rewrite history lol. And really, challenging a person to name dead people from the 1940-60s now? Just because no one can do that, doesn't change history. Do you also deny the moon landing nausi? Fun times.

All I remember about LBJ was him getting sworn in on an air plane after JFK was shot.

That concludes my extensive knowledge of the subject.

I find it amusing because I know the effect it will have on Trump. Nobody else cares, but he will, especially since he didn't want to do the speech. Just like he doesn't want to go to the border tomorrow. He has no interest in working, he just thinks everyone should follow.

Nobody cares but yet here you are talking about Trump 24/7. For someone that doesn't care you have Trump on your mind a lot.

Well then if it’s that easy as you state; it’s wonder how you two stay so woefully ignorant.
