This is not the run up to the midterm elections that Republicans wanted.
A year and a half after winning the White House by promising to lower costs and end wars, Donald Trump is a wartime president overseeing surging energy costs and an escalating overseas conflict that many in his own party do not like.
He offered little clarity to a nation eager for answers this week during a prime-time address from the White House, his first since the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran more than a month ago, simultaneously suggesting that the war was ending and expanding.
“Thanks to the progress we’ve made, I can say tonight that we are on track to complete all of America’s military objectives shortly, very shortly,” Trump said. “We’re going to hit them extremely hard over the next two to three weeks.”
Trump’s comments come roughly six months before voters across the nation begin to cast ballots in elections that will decide control of Congress and key governorships for Trump’s final two years in office. For now, Republicans, who control all branches of government in Washington, are bracing for a painful political backlash.
“You’re looking at an ugly November,” warned veteran Republican pollster Neil Newhouse. “At a point in time when we need every break possible to hold the House and Senate, our edge is being chipped away.”

You forgot to put the “D” after the author’s name.
Oh, shut up AP. Prices are WAY down from previous highs, and the whole point of this conflict is to END a threat that began long before Trump was elected President.
Typical Anti Trump AP journalism.
thanks for the post, you utter retard
Pass the SAVE act and there would be no drifting.
How much is Thune being paid to undermine America?
Is the money coming from McConnell Chinese friends?
Exactly.
Most likely.
Associated Press = Leftist Propaganda.
What are Dim accomplishments?
Exactly!
No it doesn’t...
The wimpy Republicans were doomed to lose both the House and Senate before the first bomb was dropped.
Yeah, this "Freeper" (gag) is one of "them". I see their puerile input all over the board since the war started.
While I find the juvenile and lame attempts at demoralization fairly entertaining overall, I have to wonder why so much effort is made towards a lower tiered blog that's essentially a libertarian leftover from the Clinton days.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the repartee between real conservatives that frequent here. It's just that spreading hate and discontent around here won't move the needle much in the grand scheme of the obvious psy-op currently being run to counter the dominant US position.
If Republicans are adrift....where the hell are the Democrats?
Republicans in congress can’t pass the SAVE act which has over 80% support across the board (more if you just count their voters).
They are going to lose because they WANT to lose.
WIKI
The 2004 U.S. Senate race in South Dakota was the most expensive Senate race that year, with a total of $30 million spent, and the most expensive race in South Dakota history. It was widely followed in the national media. Thune, along with Senate majority leader Bill Frist, President George W. Bush, and Vice President Dick Cheney, described Daschle as the “chief obstructionist” of Bush’s agenda. “Thune was able to criticize ‘Daschle for serving incompatible masters’ and portray him, as Frist did when he came to South Dakota to campaign for Thune, as a partisan obstructionist and political heir to liberal icon and former Senator George McGovern of South Dakota.”
Daschle’s critics charged the Democrat with using filibusters to block confirmation of several of Bush’s nominees to the federal judiciary and of being out of step with South Dakota voters on other political and social issues: “The GOP had targeted Daschle, the Senate minority leader, claiming he had been the chief obstruction to President Bush on such issues as tax cuts, judicial nominees and the war in Iraq.”
On November 2, 2004, Thune defeated Daschle by 4,508 votes, winning 51% of the vote. Daschle’s loss was the first ousting of an incumbent floor leader since 1952, when Arizona Senator Ernest McFarland lost to Barry Goldwater. The loss made Daschle “the first Senate party leader in more than five decades to be voted out of office”.

His replacement won’t have to modify the playbook.
Pass the Clarity Act too. Thune is useless.
AP rejoicing is never good.
Trolls have never been treated very politely here. Though they can foment some entertaining comments.
The Tuckerrhoids, Fuentenistas, and Candacestinians have joined up with the lefty trolls in trying to take down Trump
