Poll question: If we were playing POKER, Texas Holdum? How do the Pubs play??
They hold a lot of chips but the game is not over yet.

We have seen in History, fortumes Come and Go. Empires, Nations, etc are no different, they too come and go.

They know they must win to stay in Power/ in command, dominate, make laws favoring the Pub positions. They hate to lose control, just hate it.

But the Pubs in play today, at our cyber table, with the American people as the other 7 players, how do the Pubs play their hands?

Do they bluff all the time, or, are very honest? Are they old fashioned but strong? Do they display greed, selfishness? Smartness? Loloness? Do they embrace the new style of playing?

Do they fake body language, "shift gears" or are they just smart Poker Players. Do you think the Pubs are frightened their grip on Society is being challenged?

What is the Pubs Poker History, what signs and confirmations have they shown in past games?
Please check out the signs displayed so far by the Pubs. Add if you wish.

1. Combo
First and foremost, they cheat if they can get away with it. "Recent hands show they lie a lot, use brainwashing by talking continuously" applies, as well.

7. Most of them lose. But so do most Democrats too.
I made my living for two and a half years by playing Hold 'em. Only about 2% of players are consistent winners. I rarely knew the politics of the other players at the table, nor did I give a damn.
