So once again Trump haters have already declared victory. No need to wait until the mid-terms. It is already over.
Trump will never run; Trump will drop out; Trump will never win the primary; Trump will never win the Presidency. A blue wave will sweep the house and senate leading to his impeachment.
Taking away Trumpās phone is the GOPās best chance for the midterm. Especially since he seems absolutely determined to publicly appear to be Russiaās bitch.
Nobody cares about perception. Heās Lord Emperor Trump. He can do what he please. Whatās the worst that can happen? Republicans turning on him and his base?
Midterms are what are known as ārace to the baseā elections. You have to turn out your super voters to have a shot. Given that holding both houses and the presidency almost always leads to a big win for the opposition party, Republicans not voting could be a disaster.
Or just go with Trump. Hell Virginia GOPers cant even do something the state could easily do like stopping these unaccountable āmillitiasā from showing up to far right demonstrations.
The base of the party is Trump voters. I donāt think those people care if Trump is breaking laws as long as heās making America Great Again. I know Democrats have a shot, regardless of the gerrymandering making their gains more difficult, but iām only skeptically optimistic.
Dunno, as a general rule presidents with under fifty percent approval are supposed to stay mostly on the sidelines during midterms except in guaranteed win races.
We forget how rabid Bushās base was and with his approval hovering around the high thirties they got wiped out in 2006 even with him keeping his mouth shut.
I like the historical odds. I just donāt know if theyāre relevant right now. This just feels different.
For one thing. I donāt see Trump taking the conventional wisdom of staying on the sidelines. Heās Trump. Do we even know how thatās going play either way?
Heās not really popular, but heās popular with the people that like him. They love him.
Most people though are exhausted with him. Its outrage after outrage. Itās easier to tune it out.
Depending on where you get your news, you might be exhausted by different things about him. Like how heās always being attacked for irrelevant things, like being cucked by Vlad.
