Well that's how it is supposed to work but both here in Canada and in the US, activist judges have taken it upon themselves to render decisions that create law. Especially here in Canada.

In the Wall Street Journal yesterday Gerald Seib had the most succinct statement I've read on this election.

"The deplorables rose up and shook the world."

I liked jags Micheal Moore clip in the OT thread. You have a link for that jag?

LR, I watched an interview with Moore about three weeks ago. Without meaning to read too much into it, I think I could see in Moore absolute awe at Trump's ability to do in 18 months with the Republican party, that which Moore has been trying to do for 25 years with the Democrats. Huge, although begrudging, admiration.

If you want to know who will win in 2020 or you want to ensure Trump wins a second term, just make sure you can answer TRUE to at least 7 of the following 13 questions:

1. Party Mandate: After the midterm elections, the incumbent party holds more seats in the U.S. House of Representatives than after the previous midterm elections.

2. Contest: There is no serious contest for the incumbent party nomination.

3. Incumbency: The incumbent party candidate is the sitting president.

4. Third party: There is no significant third party or independent campaign.

5. Short-term economy: The economy is not in recession during the election campaign.

6. Long-term economy: Real per capita economic growth during the term equals or exceeds mean growth during the previous two terms.

7. Policy change: The incumbent administration effects major changes in national policy.

8. Social unrest: There is no sustained social unrest during the term.

9. Scandal: The incumbent administration is untainted by major scandal.

10. Foreign/military failure: The incumbent administration suffers no major failure in foreign or military affairs.

11. Foreign/military success: The incumbent administration achieves a major success in foreign or military affairs.

12. Incumbent charisma: The incumbent party candidate is charismatic or a national hero.

13. Challenger charisma: The challenging party candidate is not charismatic or a national hero.


A majority of trues for the incumbency will result in the incumbent (or his party) winning. A majority of falses and it's the challenger who wins. Successfully predicts every president's election since 1984.

James is accurate. Trump's ignorance of the justice system is exposed by his saying he'd get a special prosecutor to investigate Clinton, and he'd appoint and direct Supreme Court judges to make law favourable to his wishes. He doesn't have the legal authority to make law either way. Courts decide.

Add a No. 14 to remove the 13 jinx: The incumbent party avoids unwarranted hubris as "read my lips" or "no increase in premiums."

rocky mountain bill, do you think Rush made that up, he probably has more informants than anyone can imagine.

"I've been impressed with Clinton's and Obama's gracious treatment of our newly elected President"
"Well what else should they do? They ought to get down on the hands and knees and beg that Trump does not pursue what he told Hillary in the last debate. He said if he gets elected he will pursue the investigation and see that she does go to jail. Oslama might be her cell mate.

And that's a problem.

The US Constitution is designed so that Congress makes laws and the Executive branch (The President and his Cabinet) along with the full bureaucracy of the Federal government, execute and put into practice those laws that Congress has enacted.

Nowhere does it say that 9 political appointees are to make law. Nowhere does it say that the President is to rule domestic policy by executive order.

In Canada, by tricky sleight of hand by the revolting Pierre Trudeau, we were tricked, when our constitution was repatriated from GB and our Declaration of Rights and Freedoms enacted, into a set of rules, almost impossible to change, that puts the final say on all laws, in the hands of 9 political appointees.

And so when activists are appointed, they act.

Shuck, you stole my no. 14.

#15, save all dirt on the dem candidate for the last two weeks of the next election. It's tough for even dems to brush things off unless they have a good two and a half weeks.
