Smerconish: The election is over. Now comes the hard part

The election is over, but now comes the hard part. In seeking to accomplish his agenda, will President-elect Biden face more opposition from Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell or the progressives in his own party?

    1. @DaTruf Hurts why didn’t biden steal the house or senate? so he cheated just to be obstructed for the next 4 years??? hello! use your head!

    2. Democrats will be held accountable when innocent Americans are dying at the hands of violent criminals because of Biden’s “Catch and Release”/ “Open Boarders” policies! Let’s just pretend like there’s no crime South of the boarder as if human and drug trafficking don’t exist while falsely accusing our neighbor of being a racist for wanting to protect Americans. Let’s call Trump a racist and blame him for putting kids in cages even though that has been going on since Bush and Obama. Biden will be treated the way Democrats treated Trump, starting with impeachment for threatening to cut off aid from the Ukraine for investigating his Son Hunter as well as using the “Logan Act” to wrongfully prosecute General Flynn. How they hell can Democrats celebrate when they lost the House Majority! You frauds haven’t even won the election yet!

    3. I predict under the circumstances of a civil war that those who gave up their rights will be deceased. Too many brave Men and Women died protecting those rights and freedoms for Democrats to sell them. Martin Luther Kind Jr. was a Republican, Cesar Chaves was a Republican and John F. Kennedy would not recognize todays highjacked socialist Democrat Party. You people are not Democrats, your Socialists and your agenda will collapse under the pressure of your own weight. “Put you back in Chains” Biden is not the President and will NEVER be my President!

The crux of their testimony: Software switched or simply erased more than 3.8 MILLION votes.

  1. The slogan, “Defund the police,” got off on the wrong foot. Looks like it can’t be taken back; it’s out there. It’s been misinterpreted to “No police.”

    1. @SkyGemini Really? What would it mean to you if your boss told you they were going to defund your job? I’ll tell you what’s “stupid” … the fucking slogan!

    2. Exactly! And because a few big mouth Congress members had to say they are socialists, now all Democrats are socialists. Bernie did it when Hillary ran for president and he did it again with Biden, except he had help with the idiot AOC. We lost the Senate and almost the House because of them. Time to get rid of that garbage.

    3. @Carl Williams If it was so easy to grasp, there wouldn’t be so many people confused by it. Say what you want about those people, but there are a lot of them that sincerely believe it means that only black lives matter. That is why people started responding, “All lives matter”. It isn’t my opinion. I am just pointing out what tons of people have been saying for five years.

    4. @Jason Hatfield Yeah… The oppressed white majority, of which I am one!
      When will we get out from under the foot of the black man?! When will our middle class public schools be equal to those in low income neighborhoods? When will I serve the same time for a cocaine offense as someone busted for crack? When will MY life matter?!🤣
      That’s a false equivalency Jason, and hopefully you realize it!

    5. @Carl Williams Your inability to look at it objectively is what has you confused about my point. I never once talked about whether or not I agree with the purpose of BLM. I am saying they have a branding issue. It is an argument about their marketing, not their intent. Being successful isn’t just about being passionate or being on the right side of the argument. You need allies and BLM isn’t good at gaining them. No amount of exclamation points and capitalized words changes that.

    1. I haven’t seen Democrats this mad since Republicans freed their slaves

      quote borrowed from ​https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jta5oytXDL4&list=UUNbIDJNNgaRrXOD7VllIMRQ&index=5 4e5gd89io

    2. i agree. the left should embrace the far left and start backing extreme leftist. stand behind the communism you love so much.

    3. @Darque1137 Oh please. You need to wake up and realize that the vast majority of Americans, and even the vast majority of democrats, do not want a socialist government. Opposing socialism is not ‘GOP Lite’.

    1. @Bruce Leigh If everything you’ve been led to believe was actually true then so would your statement. If nothing else, I hope the Biden admin can at least have us all operating under the same set of facts. That won’t fix all the problems but at least we will be debating policy
      With any luck the Trump ruled alternate reality will evaporate and all those people will join everyone else on planet earth in the reality the rest us are in….called “reality”.

    2. It would have been much more effective as no one actually wants to defund the police, it was so stupid, I don’t get it.

    1. @3c ranch Honesty? Oh God, that’s hilarious. I’ll agree that he Spews the crap that pops into his head without filter, but “pure unadulterated” idiocy based on self delusion is stll idiocy based on self delusion.
      Let’s keep in mind, this man was ministered and mentored by Dr. Norman Peale, author of “The Power of Positive Thinking”. He posits: for all future endeavors to be successful, one must see all past endeavour as successful. To avoid failure in the future, see no past actions as being failures.
      Non-one percenters who think this way are locked in a rubber room wearing a self-hugging jacket. This IS DELUSION, and it was taught to him not only as a business practice, but as a guide to salvation.

    2. I agree….bcz the dems are so much better for the average Americans but their way of messaging or lack thereof is weak….they always allow the Republicans to muddy the water with no substance …..look all the Republican senators oppose the ACA and didn’t want to support the better stimulus package for the poor…their pandemic response was pathetic…..they allow many americans to die……yet almost all of them kept their seqts

  2. How can the election be over when they havent even counted all the ballots yet, are doing recounts and there are court orders over the fraudulent Domino system which changed votes?

    1. @meadow1972I dont need the DHS to tell me a virus released from the country of Beijing Biden that in turned manipulated the way and duration of time we vote for the first time in our countries history to know where the cards lay.

    2. Biden has 227 verified votes…Trump has 227!! There is a piece of pesky paper called the Constitution. I know it gets in the way for the leftist type of Democracy but it’s not over yet!!

    3. they called arizona for biden when trump was only like 5k votes behind but places like georgia where biden was a couple hundred thousand behind they never called it for trump. its pretty obvious that states are being extremely bias and not letting the people decide

    4. The only explaination why Republicans won so many house and senate seats is because the fraud ballots only voted for president but didnt take or have time to cheat far enough to finish the ballot.

    5. Further, its quite unlikely that people split ballot by voting for one party for president and all the house and senate seats for the other party. People vote straight ticket. So do the math.

    1. @adam longtin it’s already aging like fine wine❤😂😂😂🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

    2. @Leonardo Jurisic
      No it’s because trump is a crook, fraud, cheat & murderer.
      If you refuse to see it , then you’re also like him.. sick.

  3. It is a truism: One can always rely upon Democrats to eat their own.

    Despite the fact that such closeness in time renders analysis of the election results premature and quite subjective, we are witnessing a wholly counterproductive rush to judgment that serves no good for Democrats…though it most certainly does delight and amuse Republicans.

  4. So, how does giving additional people not presently covered affordable healthcare put healthcare workers jobs at risk?

    1. @First LastI think we should agree that the healthcare system as it was before the ACA was extremely broken. It still needs some work.

      So how do we fix it? Why don’t we allow a simultaneous public and private option ala Germany?

      Every single healthcare system has its issues. You pointed out a flaw from the Canadian one. It’s not that it’s impossible to see a doctor but it does take a couple of months to find one and there are rare cases when that’s a big issue. However, what about pointing out at the issues in the US system? Refusal of coverage for certain conditions, some folks having to pay out of pocket for giving birth, and others.

      The system needs to be fixed and ever since Reagan deregulated it, the free market worsened it. The private sector is absolutely pivotal, but I wish we could reach a nice balance between the 2 to address these problems. The ACA is a framework for that and I hope our politicians build on it to better healthcare in America. It’s badly needed.

    3. @First Last Yeah, we can’t allow the beach houses, yachts, and secret second families of The Board of Trustee 1 percenters to suffer. This is not the way it HAS TO BE.
      It’s sad that the peasantry is fighting to keep our Dickensian economic system in place…

    1. @Piggsy I think you’re forgetting that the left hates history when it highlighted that they have bad policies. When they tore down confederate (democrat) statues, it was hilarious. They are trying to erase their own past.

    1. Nick Webb, could you imagine the absolute magnitude of liberal tears. There will be oceans of yummy tears. Teardrops, yum yum 😋. Yummy liberal tears. Yum yum yum

    2. @Sally Brookner Yes, you’re right, and I explain why: Biden accumulated illegal votes, so of course the figures would be inflated. A down to earth example? Say one student sits her exams and copies all the answers from the student sitting next to her. The 1 MILLION $ question: Will she pass the exam with flying colours? YES, BIG YES. The democrats stole thousands of thousands of ballots, then used dead people’s ballot papers, got rid of Trump’s ballots, transferred his votes to theirs.
      And what did I hear you say about Trump needs to collect more money from his gullible supporters. TRUMP REFUSED TO TAKE A WAGE FOR HIS POSITION AS PRESIDENT. NOT A CENT NOT A DIME. He does not need money. He is one of the richest man in the world. We, his supporters are contributing to his campaign because we love Trump, we love what he has done for this country and we want to be part of the good work. And you just wait, it’s not over. Trump has plans to have his own RADIO STATION, with a $5 monthly contribution. So if 368 millions people subscribe, that means that you, the democrats will also contributed. HAHAHAHAHA, LOL, THIS IS SUBLIME!

    3. Listen to all you demotards…. its over when Trump leaves the Whitehouse….til then prove me wrong you Clowns….fake news lmao

    4. I do, unfortunately, think Biden is going to win. But, D W is right. The election is technically over when all votes are cast, counted, recounted if necessary, any litigation is gotten out of the way, and the electoral college casts their vote.
      However, as much as I dislike the idea of a Biden presidency (because lets face it, Biden is trash) Trump needs to concede. It will be easier to recover from another $h!t democrat in office than dragging the country through more turmoil, civil unrest and possibly worse.

    5. @C W yes, your allowed to dream. That’s all it is though. You will have to wake up to reality at some point and then it will be your tears you taste.

  5. Why are we having this discussion ? A president is not selected yet?😁…….that’s why CNN is always backtracking …..

    1. @Am Pat please send me some links to videos/credible news sources on the different voting fraud found. I’m curious

    2. @starryyy nightzzz It’s NOT my job to convince you of something you have already decided is false. If the lawsuits and news stories aren’t enough for you what can I say to convince you?
      And why would I bother?

    3. @3c ranch No, don’t send links to garbage videos and scam sites. Back up your argument yourself using proper MLA standards of reference to reputable, vetted sources. Don’t just watch SpewsWacks and run around screaming “the sky is falling!”. Explain, using that prefrontal cortex that 4.8 million years of hominid evolution gave you. You don’t have to be a programmed sound board, but it’s up to you.

  6. I’m so disappointed with Jamie’s loss. Why isn’t Joe Manchin a Republican? He almost always votes with republicans.

  7. Election is over on December 14th! Don’t forget about Al Gore, he was “prez-elect” for 37 days before they gave it W.🤔

    1. @Fiona They have already confirmed multiple “glitches” in program that gave Republican votes to Democrats. Now I won’t have a problem if they hand count(with on-lookers from both sides) and verify ballots are legit, if Biden wins. But the Election is very foundation of our country if it gets trampled, then the USA is no longer. They need to do everything humanly possible to count the votes exactly right and show the people that it was completely legit. Otherwise, either way it goes, there will be roughly half the US population that will feel cheated and over 70+millions of people feeling that way is a recipe for civil war. I get the left thinks it is far fetched for Trump to come back and win but not if Biden had illegal ballots counted and the counting machines were rigged. But Democrats won’t even fathom the idea their side cheated, even when the proof is being thrust in their face.

    2. @kgibbsiam y’all still on this huh. There is zero evidence what’s so ever. Every case is being dismissed by the judges because there is ZERO evidence. It’s over no matter what you think.

    1. @Red Monkey Trucking one, no they did not this has been disproven. Two so what if they got the servers of a Canadian non partisan company that had approval for use and was also in use in 2016 in the US? It’s a SERVER if anything it would show that there was no fraud that’s assuming of course it keeps personal data like that. Do you know what a server is? Have you looked into the company and see their use?

    2. Absolutely false and maybe you should ask why oann supposedly had this “info” for almost a week but has not released it? Also there is million dollar reward out there for anyone that can show evidence of voter fraud and still crickets from these sources. So idk but maybe stop taking your lead from the rich assholes that hate and be careful cause they seem to be tricking you into selling out your republic for a authoritarian government.

  8. Delusional Donnie is in utter denial
    Not getting how deeply he’s reviled,
    An egomaniacal narcissistic sociopath,
    Oblivious to facts in the election’s aftermath.
