Yes ppl, in the greater Boston area, Trump supporters do so clandestinely, for fear of reprisals.

Well today, for the first time, I'd seen a house with the Trump Make America Great 2020 banner draped over it, so that everyone on the street could see it.

Realize, since Walter Mondale, no Republican has ever won Massachusetts. The handful of Masshole Republicans I know of, do so in private dens and never speak out in front of Ivy League types and others in education, health care, financial services, consulting, biotech, or IT.

And some of these ppl are either Latinos themselves, or have married into a Latino household. This is not the closet Irish KKK mob of some South Boston or Charlestown lore. Those Whitey Bulger days were over since the late 80s. The Jack Nicholson movie, 'The Departed', was very dated where he mentioned that it was hard for an Irish-American to find a decent job. Yeah right! Kennedy was President in 1961. In fact, 1/2 of the whites in greater Boston have at least 1/4 Irish ancestry so yeah, the Irish have jobs.

Perhaps he's baiting his prey.

Musta upped his game. They got wise to the banners for free sneakers and cell phones.

My prediction, even for MA, is that the Democrats won't get more than 55% of the votes. In other words, Biden will be the weakest candidate (since there's no Ross Perot as in Clinton's first win to split the electorate) since the Mondale era.

And realize, Massachusetts and Vermont are the two most blue states in the country.

Even Cali has its 'Red' counties outside of the SFBA and coastal SoCal.

And if Cenk Uygur's show is any indication, even the politically moderate-to-progressive Trump haters don't believe in Biden because he can't inspire anyone, living in the swing states, esp young voters at places like Dayton, Indianapolis, etc. With that in mind, many won't show up and Trump wins the areas which he needs to win.


I don't think he is any indication, he is a sour grapes leftist.


It's strange but until Super Tuesday, I would have agreed but then afterwards, I've heard Mass and NY Democratic moderates wail on their own party for caving in and agreeing to a sock puppet for plutocrats, like Biden. And then one of them, an old classmate from college, mentioned Cenk, as a guy who up until a year ago, he'd thought was a useless talking head; and then he agreed with him, saying that they expected much more their party since 2017, just like Cenk, but w/o too much love for either Bernie or Warren.

Now, these are mature/older Massholes and New Yorkers, imagine the rust belt where there's even less interest in the party of the Clintons. And Cenk's main audience are the younger voters which include places like Ohio State, Indiana U, etc. If none of those younger voters come out to vote for Biden, then Biden's toast in the midwest outside of Chicago.

Not to be a nitpicking troll, but outside of Compton (LA slums) I have not heard a California native refer to the state as "Cali". Just FYI.

I'm happy that some guys are still unafraid to support Trump in Beantown.

Huh? He said: "Twenty years after an Irishman couldn't get a job, we had the presidency."

It's like no one from Boston calls it Beantown but I can tell when ppl use it to poke fun at us.

I was going to say Californification but I shortened it.

Except that it was more like 40 years. When JFK got elected, the Irish were pretty much running the state. Sorry, make that 1/4 Irish. Since almost everyone here has Irish, British, German, French, etc, ancestries.

Could you take and post a picture of that? Hurry before the house is burned to the ground.
