hell, Nelson got 300,000 more votes than Obama
so pretty much all the people who voted for Obama, were willing to vote for him
which makes sense
who else wuld they vote for? The Green Party candidate ?
there wasn't even a Green Party candidate
there were independents who got 126,000 and 82,000
anyway, 2006 was in the midst of the worst days of the Bush era, so Nelson had an easy environment
2012 was Obama's easy re-election vs Romney
2018 will be Nelson's hardest year since 2000
@🎃Boo-ton🎃 so what's your take on the fact immigration doesn't even reach the 50% of voters as very important
According to what Walter posted in Data
It's well up in the 40s, so there's that
and who's cares what the majority thinks, this is not mob rule

@FLanon
do you even recognize the loser who lost against Nelson in 2012
"Connie Mack IV"
Unfortunately, democracy is in fact mob rule
What's the take on this Giulaini statement?
@🎃Boo-ton🎃 you're right it's not a democracy, it's a republic, which means you need a substantial more than a simple majority to implement your agenda
So how do you expect that to happen without even a simple majority?
Trump didn't use campaign funds to pay off the hooker he shlepped
therefore, no campaign finance violation
unfortunately, that's not what we got
since Trump is, in fact,
a weakman
What are you talking about
The whole point of a republic is to protect against mob rule and "strongmen"
It allows the minority to still have a say even if they are a minority
So my point is, immigration reform isn't going to happen unless you get that number to 60%+
Doesn't matter
Lol
If Trump were to act as a strongman
and push, and threaten, and fight
like a strongman would
he'd have Congress in the palm of his hands
Yeah that worked before lol
Trump hasn't even tried
(Sarcasm)
It's because it doesn't work
You can't Strongman Congress to do what you want
If he were to actually threaten these idiots with being primaried
Nah
