They lost the election because their message didn't resonate. Maybe they will change the narrative next election cycle.
This is why they lost. We're sick of this crap!!!

Odd.... I don't remember anyone burning down anything when Obama was elected.....twice.

And there were just as many disappointed voters then, as now.... there must be some other metric involved here.... wonder what it could be?
I guess that's one of the "perks" of not being shackled with that pesky conscience or moral compass, or faith in the One true Answer.

I don't know. When someone has been banned I may check their post stream to see if it yields any clues. There was some recent unpleasantries, but that was not unusual for Yet. He withstood a lot of criticism... and although I did not always agree with his methods, or conclusions, I admired his willingness to stand alone against the crowd as it were, though I was not among those who frequently openly opposed him. We agreed in our views on hell. There are precious few of us here who have the beliefs we do in that regard. For that reason I considered him a bit of a kindred spirit :)

We shall unleash the Nihilists



The Third World War ....

....We shall unleash the Nihilists and the atheists, and we shall provoke a formidable social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to the nations the effect of absolute atheism, origin of savagery and of the most bloody turmoil. Then everywhere, the citizens, obliged to defend themselves against the world minority of revolutionaries, will exterminate those destroyers of civilization, and the multitude, disillusioned with Christianity, whose deistic spirits will from that moment be without compass or direction, anxious for an ideal, but without knowing where to render its adoration, will receive the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer, brought finally out in the public view.....

"All Americans, not only in the states most heavily affected, but in every place in our country, are rightly disturbed by the large numbers of illegal aliens entering our country. The jobs they hold might otherwise be held by citizens or legal immigrants, the public service they use impose burdens on our taxpayers. That's why our administration has moved aggressively to secure our borders more, by hiring a record number of new border guards, by deporting twice as many criminal aliens as ever before, by cracking down on illegal hiring, by barring welfare benefits to illegal aliens.

In the budget I will present to you we will try to do more to speed the deportation of illegal aliens who are arrested for crimes, to better identify illegal aliens in the workplace, as recommended by the commission headed by former congresswoman Barbara Jordan. We are a nation of immigrants, but we are also a nation of laws. It is wrong and ultimately self defeating for a nation of immigrants to permit the kind of abuse of our immigration laws we have seen in recent years and we must do more to stop it." From the state of the Union address in 1995.

Yep, Bill Clinton got a standing ovation for that. Twenty years later, Donald Trump gets called a racist for wanting to secure the southern border. What happened?

The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has estimated that 11.4 million unauthorized immigrants lived in the United States in January 2012.

The DHS releases yearly reports from which the rate of new illegal immigration can be estimated. The most recent data is from FY 2015. One has to combine visa overstays and cross-border illegal entries from separate reports.

For fiscal year 2015, DHS reports that the number of new visa overstays (not counting late departures) was 527,127

The number of immigrants that cross the border illegally each year are not directly countable, and are estimated from the number who are caught trying. For FY 2015, DHS reported 337,117 apprehensions. Using an estimated catch rate of 33%, the number crossing without detection would be 674,000 per year (2 successful entries for each 1 apprehended).

The rate of new illegal immigrants, combining both sources is 1,201,000 in FY 2015.
