Hard to believe.
And no, you were addressing your remark directly at me.
Good grief, Lanny. I guess we need some sort of a flow chart to this conversation because you seem to be working pretty hard to be offended by it.
1. Julius posted a statement that the Dems would win in the Midwest if they actually campaigned there.
2. I responded to his post saying that it depends on the message they put forth there as to how effective it would be. Regional differences in employment, education, and political makeup mean that Midwest Dems aren't as likely to be as gung-ho on climate change proposals that could take even more jobs away from their areas as people on the coasts are. They're also more conservative on economic and social issues than folks on the coasts are.
3. Julius said that the "middle of the country has to understand that many of those jobs are never coming back and "promising" their return is pointless." I responded that that message would be likely to result in Trump winning again.
4. Julius said, "So basically what you're saying is, lie to and con the voters."
5. I posted my response saying that, no, what I was saying is that the Democrats need to come up with a message and platform that can actually help boost the economy of the Midwest. I gave a few ideas off the top of my head as to what that could include.
6. You jumped in, quoting my last response to Julius stating, "It's not offering a hope to people when you either offer a lie or something vitually (sic) impossible." I took that to mean that you were actually replying to what I'd written about the Dems coming up with an economic plan for the Midwest, since you quoted me after all. So I responded with the comment about you apparently writing off the Midwest's economy. You later edited your post to list a bunch of things that Trump has failed to carry out, which had zero to do with my post, but makes more clear now that you meant your comment to apply to Trump's broken promises.
7. You got pissed off.
8. I got pissed off back at you.
9. We both think Trump's an a-hole, so what the heck are we squabbling about? We undoubtedly disagree on many things, but not on that.
