“I think a big mistake a lot of R’s may make is to think that Trump has much in the way of coat tails. I think most of the voters see him not as a republican, but an independent that simply chose a party afiliation to get elected. i.e. he can be wildly popular, but neither party benefits from it unless the particular candidate is a lot like trump in his public perspective.”
But this can be an advantage in the “swamp draining process.” Trump isn’t a Republican as we had sadly come to know them. I believe that his political positioning is what’s causing these “$hitball Republican Congressmen” to be bailing. They don’t adhere to his direction, they see their “funding” from the “Cock Bros.” and other cheap labor express monied jerks going away, and they have to look forward to really working for a change. Being a Congressman going forward isn’t going to be the “fun” it used to be.
Excellent post. We are truly living in the best of times but so many people - including many on our side - are so wrapped up in hate and negativity that they can't see it.
These bitter people are wasting their lives.
I'm going to look back on these years as fondly as I did the 1980s.
... and that same ABC/Washington Post poll has the generic congressional ballot at dems +4.
Leftist Quinnipiac has it at dems +3 and Rasmussen has it at dems+5

Now even dnc Larry Sabato has said that the idiot dems have to be north of +6 in the generic congressional ballot in order to have any realistic chance of taking the House.
That’s NBC’s poll of 900 adults.
Not registered voters or likely voters, just 900 adults.

Stupid fat boy Frank Luntz was saying the Republicans could lose the House & the Senate!!
Dumbass! We ain't losing the Senate!!!
President Trump has been holding pretty steady in that approval range.
What about a poll of taxpayers?
Yeah. Idiot Luntz has really lost it. Putz has zero credibility left.
Still LMAO at his early election night tweet....
In case I wasn’t clear enough from my previous tweets:
Hillary Clinton will be the next President of the United States.

Oh, Good times. GOOD TIMES!!!
It truly was THE BEST ELECTION EVER
The media will report that Trump surrendered and pulled our troops out, and the world is going to end next week.
You don't think that they will ever give him any credit, do you?
About 30% have not been Americans for decades. The rest of that 48% are clueless TV watchers.
So will prominent GOP lawmakers still warn Trump not to fire Mueller? They seem oblivious to how the public regards them in low esteem.
I guess it explains who watches MSNBC.
Somewhat true. About 30% were king supporting Tories. Curious what percentage of them actually abandoned the US for Canada? The remaining either got with the program or lived the rest of their lives hating the Republic.
Trump collapses south korean economy.
Trump single handedly destroys the previously working economy based on selling shit to the 45K troops stationed there, not to mention the sex workers and other assorted hangers on of the US presence.
Housing market and real estate prices collapse.
souverneer shops go bankrupt.
Women and children hit hardest.
What’s the breakdown on parties...?
Interesting take. There is some truth to that. I do believe the tax bill provide some unification between the DC party and Trump. They have a unifying message for the first time. The midterms will be fought largely on that issue to the GOPs benefit. Beyond that, the GOP candidates do largely stand on their own.
I’m in complete agreement regarding the tax bill.
I turn 66 in early 2020. It means that from that point on, whatever happens, if push comes to shove I can always just throw in the towel and retire. I say that because I think the tax bill, though necessary, is just more kicking of the financial crisis can down the road. There will be a day of reckoning, and it will be sooner rather than later. We’ve been living on borrowed time since 2008.
