American Politics 2019: Liberalism, Conservatism and Those Independents

Share this article

My goodness the headlines on the Real Clear Politics website are all over the map of liberalism, conservatism and those independents in the middle of the road.

For those that don’t know the RCP website is recognized by political observers everywhere to be the most unbiased objective view of American and world politics. It’s all on there somewhere – all the polls and opinion heads. If people are talking and the media pundits are screaming their stories are on RCP. This site is highly recommended for all political junkies from Hillary lovin’ Trump haters to Trump lovin’ Hillary haters.

Look at the contrasts between these actual headlines published May 6 and May 5 on RCP.

“Trump’s ‘Blue Collar Boom’ Continues” – Washington Times.

“Why Biden Won’t Get the Dem Nomination” – American Thinker.

American Democracy is Broken, We Must Demand a Fix” – The Guardian.

“Sanders Camp Faces Big Problem With Biden and Black Voters” – The Hill.

The Stupidity of the ‘Barr Lied Charge” – New York Post.

“No Redos for the Dems”: Trump Objects to Mueller Testifying” – New York Times.

“The Fright of James Comey” – American Greatness.

“Mukasey: Barr Will Find Out How the Russia Probe Really Started” – Fox News.

“Putin Laid His Traps and Ensnared Trump” – CNN.

“New York Times Admits – and Defends – Obama’s Spying on Trump” – New York Post.

These 10 headlines are among hundreds of others and they all show that politics is all over the map. Any road you chose to travel on Politics Boulevard you will find your way that will uphold your beliefs or destroy them.

Not much has really changed since FBI Special Counsel Robert Mueller released his ‘nothing burger’ long awaited report on Russia/Trump Campaign collusion. Public opinions on President Donald Trump changed little since the report was released. As far as this total waste of time goes the president is home free but still the Democrats are going after him like there’s no tomorrow because for the Democrats there is no tomorrow. They are in a cage of their own making. Under Trump’s raging economy they are doomed to lose the presidency again in 2020 so they press on trying to find something, anything to throw at Trump and turn the tide against him.

But still all these 20-something Democrats running for the Campaign 2020 nomination are clamoring for Socialist ideals that will not sell to blue collar workers or labor union members or African Americans or Hispanics or Jews. The Democrats have already offended all these groups to the point of near total rejection that is not reflected in polls conducted by left wingers at CNN, NBC and MSNBC – a cesspool of swamp rats.

Mainstream media was so entrenched in the prospects, hopes and aspirations for the Mueller report to — finally remove President Trump from office – that they cannot stop their self-made hypocrisy once the Mueller report turned to mush. They just keep going on and on with this nonsense and digging their fate deeper and deeper.

For some political dreamers they hope for the U.S. Congress comes together for both political parties to join hands in the interest of a better USA. But the voters see the haters doing nothing for real – honest to God – American citizens and stop the catering to illegals.

It’s all right there in the headlines.
