The Founding Fathers were all old and white. :contract:

That's because back in the day young people, women, and non-white races hadn't been invented yet.

In other words they got too many of them white folk in Ohio  :yuk: :lol:

Don't laugh;  I read somewhere the other day that the critical swing county demos are actually getting older and whiter in Ohio. 

You subtract all the young people getting the fuck out, as well as all the negros getting killed by the cops, and all that's left is Ed and derfetusfucker.  Basic math.

The Founding Fathers were actually relatively young when the revolution went down.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I have to say Pence has generally impressed me quite a bit since coming on board as Trump's running mate.  Although I'm firmly #NeverTrump, I don't begrudge those who in this dark moment do support his Orange Majesty.

Why do you not begrudge them? Seems intellectually dishonest.

Both main candidates are terrible.  I don't think negatively of people who vote for either of them, though.  I'm voting third party for the first time in my life, but it is what it is.  Who am I to judge?

True. You found a terrible candidate to back.

You know you are voting for him, you will find some excuse to do so. You are indistinguishable from Marty in your cheerleading.

:lol:  Berkut keep on Berkuting.

I do nothing to cheerlead Trump.  I do bash Hillary quite a bit here, but onlly because the Woman Cardholder echo chamber needs a healthy dose of it.

Dose of what? Poorly though out attacks? Depeating same joke? Nah, leg and mart already manage that.

Umm Hillary has been video with most of the cast of Empire on it. :D

Alexander Hamilton was an 18-year-old immigrant bastard when the Revolution started.

Well, they would be old if they were alive today.

2016 House Election

While the Democrats are on track to win back the Senate unless Clinton slips again, control of the House looks unlikely.  Even if all the tossup and lean Republican districts voted Democrat, Republicans would still cling to  a razor thin majority.

Then again, polling for House races has been sparse, so competitiveness and ratings may not be up-to-date.

Once again the media focuses on what is truly important; themselves:

Trump causes split between Fox hosts

In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Not so old - in some cases, barely old enough to post on languish.

In 1776, Jefferson was 33, Adams was 41, Hancock 39, Washington 44.
During the debates on the Constitution, the authors of Federalist Papers were: 42 (Jay), 36 (Madison), and 30 (Hamilton)
