US News & Politics

Not to be mean, but I find when blues don't argue it's cuz they feel they know they're right and know they won't convince us "savages". In my experience. That or they're really loud. Or they just don't like to argue. Can go either way.

But interesting why they don't mention anything. The topic at first was very open and didn't exactly lean one way or another.

The topic will go back to central views I am sure... unless things get extremely bad.

I was doing some research and there are apparently Republican cities on the west coast!  This is fascinating.  So I found this city in Washington called Bellevue.  It is across a lake from liberal Seattle.  This Republican city of Bellevue is a Republican stronghold in a liberal area, and is ranked with the best economy in the state, fastest growing city economically, and is extremely safe with nearly no crime and problems!  That is amazing.  On average there are 20 new skyscrapers going up at any one time.  That is amazing to see.

I looked it up, it is a Satellite city of Seattle.  Businesses move in because it it cheaper rent then downtown in the bigger city.  Conservative views and practices draw people into that city, Bellevue.  Microsoft, Amazon, Expedia, etc.

What a beautiful setting with the water, tree's, mountains and snow capped tops.

So here is an example of a Republican city.  Look how much more successful it is then liberal cities.  (I need to find more before I make these claims)

No slums.  But then you look at the racial break up of this city.  Now on the east coast, White's may only make up 50% or less of a city.  On the west coast, they make up 90% to 97% of a city. 

[Silverwing]

Well it just goes to show, that defying the odds that all liberals live in cities, this isn't he case.  There are conservative cities (albeit most are smaller still) so they had humble beginnings.

Houston in Texas, one of the biggest cities in America is an example of a mixed city. Houston is considered to be a politically divided city whose balance of power often sways between Republicans and Democrats. The affluent western-central portions of Houston—such as River Oaks and the Memorial/Spring Branch area, as well as master planned communities of Kingwood and Clear Lake City—consistently vote Republican, while many of the inner city areas, Neartown, and Alief—are heavily Democratic. According to the 2005 Houston Area Survey, 68 percent of non-Hispanic whites in Harris County are declared or favor Republicans while 89 percent of non-Hispanic blacks in the area are declared or favor Democrats. About 62 percent Hispanics (of any race) in the area are declared or favor Democrats.

Texas is still mostly conservative.  But as you can see there, even the inner city there isn't that great.  People in difficult situations are forced to these areas and held their by liberal ideals and planning. 

[Grapefoot]

That would depend on your viewpoint, but I will say that Democrats running cities haven't yielded  any positives for the people living in them.

Cleveland, St. Louis, Detroit, Philadelphia, etc... 

[Silverwing]

If you have three minutes, this shows some of the corruption out there in media and showcases Hillary's lies and the fall of the Democratic party into corruption.  Only three minutes.

Democrats lead by 33,000 voters in early voting in Florida.

If Trump doesn't win Florida, the election is over. 


More then half of theH Hispanic vote in Florida usually happens on Election Day.  If that holds true, Hispanics will single handled vote Clinton into office on election day in Florida. 

[Death Blossom]

Nooo, betrayed by my fellow Hispanics T~T

Wait, why does Trump /have/ to win Florida?

[Smiles2us]

Florida holds a lot of electoral votes.  Without it, he is unlikely to  win enough other states to make up all those electoral votes.

[Death Blossom]

Really? Damn.
I'm sad now...
