Subject: Why Trump is winning more than anyone ever imagined

Lets go back in time a little bit and listen to one of the greatest campaign speeches ever recorded.  This speech was from an extremely vocal Trump hater, but he understood why people were going to vote for Trump.  After this speech clip he went on to talk about how Trump wouldn't do all the things he promised, because that's what many expected to happen (admittedly I even did a little).  However, Trump has either done or attempted to do absolutely everything he promised to do on his campaign and is doing exactly what everyone who voted for him wanted him to do.
Watch this video and tell me that he's not going to win every single blue collar working class vote in the entire country in 2020?  Seriously, there is no possible way the Democrats get one vote!
(Some NSFW F bomb language)

I was sitting pretty good after saving for 30 years and investing well......but I'm almost ashamed to tell people how much I've made in the last 18 months.  Even though it's running pretty flat so far this year (I've only gained $23,400 since 6/30/18 ), the Nasdaq is still at 25% gains over the last 12 months.  I got cold feet here and there and pulled some money back.....but it really didn't matter much.  If you don't have money in this market you're just insane.  If you're not working you're just lazy.

With the economy hitting 4.5% growth and even Buffet opening up to allow buybacks in his company.....tell me the bull market is over. LOL

China is almost to the point where they will call uncle.....trade war my arse.....they can't afford a trade war.....  neither can anyone else who is running their mouths. (canadian prime minister what's his name)  It's about damn time we had a leader willing to swing our big stick.

I've never voted for a President, and neither have any of you, who worked to do EVERY SINGLE THING he campaigned on.  You might not like him and I get it.....but you have to respect that. It's virtually unheard of from any "politician".  I care not a single bit about the noise from the left (other than the good comedy factor).....it doesn't appear our President does either.

Hey Tony - that link you put up was funny as hell watching the reactions, but I don't think it's the one you wanted based on your description.  The link you posted is just a bunch of whining and crying on election night. LOL

ETA - nevermind.....it's there.  I don't know how I got Rachael Maddow blowing snot bubbles.

There's some great montages of the melt downs too. Looks like I may have accidentally grabbed a time stamped link that starts the video towards the end.

Here's the clean link, but posting on my phone so probably not clickable. https://youtu.be/wxDRqeuLNag

I should be more aggressive. I've made a lot in the last 18 months but I'm still 50% on the sidelines. I'm too close to retiring to be all in. A nuke could go off today and the market can drop 20% in a day. I still remember the horror of 2008 when I lost tens of thousands a day....saw my retirement disappearing like a fart in the wind. I'm comfortable with where I am at. Still making a lot but not compared to you. I think I'm at 4.3% for the year.....and considering 1/2 of my savings is making almost nothing, I'm good. If we can continue making at this rate I'll be at 8.6% for the year and very pleased.

The number of Americans filing for unemployment dropped to a 49 year low last week. 

This is REALLY simple stuff.  You can sit around gnashing your teeth and whining.....you can even go out and spend your time protesting.  OR....you can take advantage of the greatest economic climate in the last 35 years and set yourself and your family up well for your future.

Who's losing??

Mike, you really need to look at munis. Investor grade munis from red states, never blue states unless you research the area closely. And absolutely no to Puerto Rico! Returns are only in the 4% range right now, but it's an income tax free 4%. If you have half your retirement parked in a money market doing nothing, I think you can generate a little safe cash flow for your family with munis. I have a guy in Houston we use that deals almost exclusively in munis; he's kind of an arrogant pricklypear, but a solid performer. I can PM you his contact info if you're interested or maybe you can find someone locally if you're more comfortable working with someone in person.

If you aren't familiar with them, they generate a coupon or payment every 6 months, for each bond issue you own. Buying into several different issues, can stagger those checks to where you're getting a dividend every month, sent directly to you or they can put it into an account of your choosing.

The arguments against supporting Trump are always superficial.  He has a comb over, he can't talk, he says dumb stuff, he's a racist, he's a sexist, he's a homophobe, blah blah but they're all absolutely shallow and fake and anyone who isn't a raging liberal sees that.
Flyover country Democrats do not care about social justice, they do not care about abortion, they do not care reparations, they do not care about racism.  They simply go about their day and treat each other with respect and could care less what color somebody else is or what they do in their bedroom.  That's the core of America.  Meanwhile you have the liberal socialist mecca's that are dividing people into racial, gender, economic, categories and discriminating accordingly.  The Blacks, the Hispanics, working class Dems, gen Z, etc. are all walking away from the Democratic party and the liberal movement because it's turning into a clown show.  The DNC's response is to desperately push for the elimination of ICE to get more illegals into the country, get them on welfare, and then get them on the voting rolls.  That's seriously the entirety of the political strategy.  It's the craziest thing I've ever seen.

18 months of "we got him now".....and NOTHING.

The strategy is not really the craziest thing to me......it's the flat arse dumbest crap in the history of dumb crap.  How is there even anybody left in that party?   And now their answer is ...............drum roll please..............socialism???  LMAOOOO

I hope the dems embrace socialism.......conservatives will run this country forever.

Good tip. Unfortunately my money is in a 401k and I cannot withdrawal without a penalty till I'm 59 or maybe 59.5. The money is in a guaranteed fund but still makes little. I will talk to my broker (college buddy of mine) about munis. Might move some of my wife's 401k.

So yesterday one of my black HS friends on FB posted something negative on FB. His friends were all agreeing. I posted calling out what they were all agreeing on as BS.....and he unfriended me! LOL If you cannot handle dissent then don't post political crap on FB!

Free heath care, free housing, free college, guaranteed job, no borders....one be utopia where there are no poor people and everything is free!!


At the Democrat/Socialist Convention!
There's a land that's fair and bright,
Where the handouts grow on bushes
And you sleep out every night
Where the boxcars all are empty
And the sun shines every day
On the birds and the bees
And the cigarette trees
The lemonade springs
Where the bluebird sings
At the Democrat/Socialist Convention!

At the Democrat/Socialist Convention!
All the cops have wooden legs
And the bulldogs all have rubber teeth

And the hens lay soft-boiled eggs
The farmers' trees are full of fruit
And the barns are full of hay
Oh I'm bound to go
Where there ain't no snow
Where the rain don't fall
The wind don't blow
At the Democrat/Socialist Convention!

At the Democrat/Socialist Convention!
You never change your socks
And the little streams of alcohol
Come trickling down the rocks
The brakemen have to tip their hats
And the railroad bulls are blind
There's a lake of stew
And of whiskey, too
You can paddle all around 'em
In a big canoe
At the Democrat/Socialist Convention!

At the Democrat/Socialist Convention!
The jails are made of tin
And you can walk right out again,

As soon as you are in
There ain't no short-handled shovels,
No axes, saws or picks,
I'ma goin' to stay
Where you sleep all day,
Where they hung the Turk
That invented work

At the Democrat/Socialist Convention!

I'll see you all this coming Fall
At the Democrat/Socialist Convention!


What's not to love?

Ahh, the delightful Ms. Ocasio-Cortez. Socialist. Bernie Sanders, socialist. Isn't it about time for us to stand up and demand that these avowed socialists run under the socialist party ticket? Or make the DNC change their name to Socialist party? They're getting the best of both worlds. It's time we make them run as socialists, independent, democrat or Republican. The DNC is benefitting as the umbrella that all things not Republican can hide under.

Oddly enough Joe Lieberman agrees with me. https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/jul/18/alexandria-ocasio-c... - Isn't that the pot calling the kettle black?
