    Haven't noticed the poll until today, but...

    MY story on the morning of November 7th is that I awoke to find this rotating globe had not exploded, imploded, or hurtled into another galaxy -- one of which I thought should happen based on the dire predictions of extremists on both sides.

    Heh, extremists on both sides are NOT happy with the results, but life goes on. Don't really have much to add, agree that all those neverTrumpers that resigned were filled by a bunch of Democrats, that will go on to investigate and cry on and on for the next two years. Pelosi will never go impeachment, she is far from stupid unlike Maxine, and knows it's futile and dangerous to do so.

    No repeal of tax cuts, no border wall, litigate, investigate, obliterate, that's the order. As for the Senate, CMG should be happy Donnely went down, one less nasty Senator.

    Romney is the king of the NeverTrumpers.

    Everyone in Indiana is glad to be rid of nasty Joe!

    I wish that we could get the border wall. Indianapolis is as dangerous as Chicago.

    Yeah, that's true, but he's alone and won't go against the grain unless he can make a difference.

    Romney truly hates Trump, but the problem is, he agrees with Trump on just about everything. Even the boarder. He's not like a Flake or McCain who are wishy washy. He's not going to be that kind of neverTrumer. He's not going to try to block the new AG, and couldn't if he wanted to.

    I am thinking that Romney is the de facto head of the Mormon Church. The Mormons are a mixed bag. A lot of them work for the feds because they learn a lot of foreign languages in their missionary work and their expertise is needed.

    I agree with you that he is isolated in the Senate. Do you think that he is the richest Senator?

    Since you claimed that "the Democrats will be in for a rude awakening," I am not an example of the truth and accuracy of your premise. Your premise was completely false.

    You appear to read the mood of the country from within a bubble of Trump supporters and the right-wing echo chamber. You simply don't have the perspective you need to really know what is going on. I am to the left of you, since I reject Trumpism, but I am hardly left wing. I listen to many different viewpoints and am in a better position to think coherently about such thing.

    As of this morning, Democrats have gained 30 seats in the House with 10 key races not completely decided. Republicans have so far barely held on to a simply majority in the Senate, with 51 seats, not counting a runoff in Mississippi and a recount in Florida. Democrats picked up seven governor's seats.

    I don't think liberals are crying.

    Blanket denials show your inability to deal with the issues. I find it especially interesting that you have claimed that God's concern for the whole world (globalism), not just the United States, is untrue. Do you have John 3:16 in your Bible? If so, and if you are a disciple of Jesus, you need to be a globalist also.

    No, Nazism and White Nationalist groups over the past 70 years have given nationalism a certain meaning.

    Even as a kid in the early 1970s, I knew the difference between nationalism and patriotism. It has nothing to do with CNN.

    I agree. Nationalism/patriotism have nothing to do with CNN.

    CNN is a globalist sell out.

    Only the very rich are globalists and they are merely in search of cheap labor. With tens of thousands of homeless in this country, sending more work overseas is stupid and racist. Blacks are paying a heavy price for this and that is the reason more and more blacks are leaving the Democrat Party.

    They constitute a large percentage of the WalkAway Movement.

    What do they have to lose?

    In addition to WalkAway, as you know, there is also Blexit. When you leave the Democrat plantation, people call you all kinds of dirty names.

    As usual, it really depends on intended definitions and context, especially regarding 'country' vs 'nation.'

    Oh, and in your examples you left out the worst of the worst: the Nation of Islam--so hateful, racist, isolationist, dictatorial, they even outdo the most extreme of traditional Muslims, which takes some doing. If anybody gives nationalism a bad name, they do.

    What country are members of the Nation of Islam loyal to?
