I don't put much stock in the GCB this far out from election day and don't find it particularly useful overall btw

but I think it's funny that conservatives who were freaking out over it a week or two ago when it showed the GOP with like a 1 point lead couldn't care less about it now.

Yeah, the Democrats are totally going to win seats in Congress on the platforms of more illegal aliens, more taxes, more crime and more unemployment. The Democrats used to BRAG about separating families, Trump didn't instate the policy of child separation and he actually signed an EO to END it.

It's impossible to have rational conversations with delusional people.

I somehow doubt that's the official DNC platform

The Democrats don't want more illegal immigration, higher taxes, and higher minimum wages? That's kind of... their entire platform.

Youre doing it wrong. Youre supposed to imply the message while saying something completely different. Like,Democrats want less deportations, corporate taxation, and livable wages.

The majority of people support increasing the minimum wage
http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/233183-poll-finds-support-for-minimum-wage-increase-paid-leave
Six in 10 Americans want a higher minimum wage, while one-fifth are opposed to such a plan, according to a new Associated Press-GfK poll released Thursday.


https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/minimum-wage-poll_us_570ead92e4b08a2d32b8e671
Fifty-three percent of all Americans say that raising the minimum wage will help workers, while just a third see the idea as a negative.

Proposals to raise the minimum hourly wage to $10.10, $12 and $15 are all popular, but theres more backing for a smaller wage hike. Sixty-six percent of Americans support a $10.10 federal minimum wage; 59 percent support $12 and 48 percent support $15.


A plurality opposes the GOP tax cut
https://www.politico.com/story/2018/06/27/poll-gop-tax-law-656387
Public support for the recent tax overhaul plunged in the past two months, as more voters became ambivalent about it, according to a new POLITICO/Morning Consult poll.

Just 37 percent of registered voters said they supported the tax-cut laden law, down from 44 percent in an April poll. The number of voters who were undecided or offered no opinion leapt to 24 percent from 17 percent.

The 39 percent of respondents who said they opposed the law was unchanged from April.


https://www.cnbc.com/2018/04/16/gop-tax-cuts-have-gotten-less-popular-with-voters-nbc-wsj-poll.html

The new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll shows that the tax-cut law, never broadly popular, has sagged in public esteem lately. Just 27 percent of Americans call it a good idea, down from 30 percent in January. A 36 percent plurality call it a bad idea, while the rest have no opinion.

Moreover, a majority gives thumbs-down on the plan when asked to consider its potential effects. Just 39 percent foresee a positive impact from a stronger economy, more jobs and more money in their pockets; 53 percent foresee a negative impact from higher deficits and disproportionate benefits for the wealthy and big corporations.


They also disapprove of Trump's immigration policies
https://www.cnn.com/2018/06/18/politics/immigration-trump-approval/index.html
Approval for the President on the issue of immigration specifically is at an all-time low in CNN polling. Only 35% approve of the way Trump is handling immigration, down from 40% in March, and 59% disapprove, up from 55%. Disapproval is highest among Democrats, liberals, those who disapprove of the job Trump is doing and nonwhite residents.

Immigration is one of the issues where Americans rate the President the poorest, with his approval on the economy at 49% and on foreign affairs and foreign trade tied at 39%, and only a third of people approving how he is handling health care policy. Out of these, immigration is the second lowest, next to health care, an issue where Democrats have historically had an advantage in polling.


Democrats would do just fine campaigning on increasing the minimum wage and undoing the tax cuts and Trump's immigration crackdown.

"People who are ignorant and don't understand economics want more free shit. Open borders is also somehow a good idea, because if you complain about working more for shittier pay while having more of your money stolen by the government, you should just deal with it because you're like privileged and don't you like roads?"

He's a white supremacist and massive troll. He also randomly pulls accounts out of his ass that haven't been active in years, so it's assumed he's buying accounts or found a username/password dump of old accounts.

He's a waste of space regardless
