President Romney? Yes, if the election were held today

[Moneyman]

For Mitt Romney, the 2012 election was held about a year too early.
Romney would hold a slight lead on President Obama if the 2012 election were replayed today, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.
The poll of registered voters shows Romney at 49 percent and Obama at 45 percent in the rematch, a mirror image of Romney’s four-point (51-47) popular-vote loss in 2012.

Obama’s shifting fortunes, of course, come as his signature health-care is increasingly embattled — both thanks to a glitchy Web site and a broken promise by Obama to allow people who like their insurance to keep it.
Obama’s loss of support is spread across many demographics, but he has suffered most among the young, the less-educated, the poor and, perhaps most interestingly, among liberals.
To wit:
Obama won women in 2012 by 11 points, according to exit polls; today he leads by one point.
He has seen his lead among young voters (18-39 years old) drop from 18 percent to 2 percent.
His four-point lead among those with less than a college degree has flipped to a nine-point deficit.
Among those making less than $50,000, Obama’s 22-point lead is now three points.
The biggest drop is among those professing to have no religion. While this group backed Obama by 44 points, it now supports him by a 22-point margin.
Among liberals, Obama won by 75 points but now leads by 59 percent. One in five self-described liberals (20 percent) say they would vote for Romney.

Hispanics would vote at least 70% against a republican right now...28% for republican in 2012.

This means
1. No win in Florida as Miami has a huge population of them.
2. No win in Colorado as Denver has a huge population of them.
3. No win in Nev as Los vegas has a growing population of them...
4. No win in most of the southwest besides az for that same reason. Mainly because of a few countries with high populations of whites when we're talking about AZ.

5. Unlikely to win Va

Passing the senate enforcement/amnesty bill will give the republicans a chance to get back to 40% with the Hispanics. Opens up florida, co and nev. The fact that you need nearly 60% and still lose by 4 million votes = a no go.

 

[Chris]

50,000 Hispanic Americans a month are turning 18.

The Republican Party won't win any national elections until they embrace immigration reform.

But it isn't, so it doesn't matter.

It’s been over a year now – way past time to get over it.

Mitt Romney would have been equally as destructive as Obama. The truth is that if we want to vote for someone who doesn't harm our country, our votes must go to the candidate whom hasn't taken corporate campaign contributions. Good luck in a country as ignorant as this.

 

[idb]

They're not taking into account what Romney's policies would be if the election were held now.

 

[Chris]

George W. Bush inherited a strong economy, a budget surplus, and a nation at peace.

Eight years later, he left Obama with a shattered economy, a trillion dollar deficit, and two useless wars.

Obama saved the country from another Great Depression, rebuilt GM, reformed healthcare, reformed Wall Street, doubled the stock market, created 16 straight quarters of GDP growth, created 49 months of private sector job growth, got Bin Laden, got Gaddafi, got us out of Iraq and Afghanistan, and got chemical weapons out of Syria.

Obama has done a very good job.

What kind of policies are you thinking?

We should have policies that favor growing the middle class.

We should have policies that favor growing the middle class.

Tax capital gains as income and raise the minimum wage.

Invest in infrastructure spending, education, and healthcare.

Pass the senate immigration bill and double your chances of electing a president in 2016.

Hispanics would vote at least 70% against a republican right now...28% for republican in 2012.

This means
1. No win in Florida as Miami has a huge population of them.
2. No win in Colorado as Denver has a huge population of them.
3. No win in Nev as Los vegas has a growing population of them...
4. No win in most of the southwest besides az for that same reason. Mainly because of a few countries with high populations of whites when we're talking about AZ.

5. Unlikely to win Va

Passing the senate enforcement/amnesty bill will give the republicans a chance to get back to 40% with the Hispanics. Opens up florida, co and nev. The fact that you need nearly 60% and still lose by 4 million votes = a no go.

2. No win in Colorado as Denver has a huge population of them.

colorado has been recalling dems and replacing them with reps

hand over foot these days

If the 2000 election were held today, Gore would still win.

20% of the electorate voted in those two elections.

Please keep being anti women, anti immigration, pro gun, and anti black.

So the Democratic Party can keep winning.

You're so full of shit I can't stand the smell of you.

We should have policies that favor growing the middle class.

Simply to start with we could address the disastrous RomneyCare policy.

 

[uhkilleez]

Tax capital gains as income and raise the minimum wage.

Invest in infrastructure spending, education, and healthcare.

Capital gains are taxed as income, simply at a lower percentage than actual income. So far as investment in infrastructure, education, and healthcare, you are correct only to a certain extent. Health care should not be nationalized, the people should be educated on their ability to negotiate. Education could be made better, but it is exactly the powers that be whom want an uneducated public, merely smart enough to work, pay their taxes, and follow their leaders. So far as infrastructure is concerned, there are simply not enough advancements in this day and age to make an overhaul beneficial to the overall economic standpoint. It worked under FDR because we were still developing at the time, we simply aren't in that situation today.

EDIT: What exact benefit do you believe a raise in the minimum wage will hold?

 

[Procrustes Stretched]

What a pathetic thread.

If...


Jesus, if the Iranians hadn't taken over the US Embassy during Carter's term...

If Nixon didn't come across as an ugly white sweaty puke....


If Reagan had been impeached for....
