That’s why they’re so adamant about policies promoting population relocation to urban centers.

2017 has been a year of bad publicity for President Trump, regarding Russia and other assorted “scandals”. But that whole storyline has come to nothing and is now quite boring.

As 2018 gets going, I suspect that AG Sessions will be actively prosecuting — and sending to jail — some very corrupt Democrats. The idea that Seth Rich was murdered by the DNC will become commonplace, and Hillary’s presidential campaign will be thoroughly examined and found shady.

Just in time for Nov 2018. People will choose wisely.

When the leading voices of your party is Elizabeth Warren and Maxine Waters, you know they are in a world of hurt.

Yet most Republicans want to be just like them.

[Now, the party’s hard left turn on immigration and abortion is starting to make moderate to right-leaning Democrats, ones who can win in these regions, difficult to find, let alone support. ]

Trump gave them another option to vote for and masterfully won over the rustbelt among other rural areas to form a somewhat bipartisan coalition of the working class.

Then you have the Democrats in the GOP. They were all for the “big tent” until it elected Trump on them.

Flake and Heller could lose reelection bids.

What is more relevant is just what message are Republicans planning to run on? Obamacare? Taxes? Russia? Good luck with that.

This all assumes voters like me vote for Republicans in the next couple of elections.

My Senate vote is sure going third party this time.

Wasserman added that even if a Democrat wins in 2020, the Senate majority could be solidly Republican, making for any possible changes to institutions, like the Supreme Court, all but impossible for liberals.


The left has poison the landscape with their take no prisoner approach. It has taken years for conservatives to begin using the same tactics against the left.

What they are doing to President Trump is not good for this nation and it really is not good for the Democrat party. The 24/7 campaign of hate against the President and his supporters is slowly building a backlash against the Democrats (and Republics that have refused to defend the President or help in passing his agenda). Perhaps the biggest losers will be the “news media”. They have pretended for a long time that they were “unbias” but now they are not even pretending. The media’s influence is shrinking each day.

Contrary to the left’s view of the average American they are not stupid. They know the difference between when it is raining and someone is p*ssing on their leg.

President Trump does not need big legislation to fix many problems, a couple more conservative Supreme Court Judges, repeal many of the overbearing regulations, allow the use of coal and permit more oil refineries will go a long way to reversing our current path over a cliff.

The border fence is important, but more important is the message that this administration is anti-illegal aliens. The flood tide has not stopped but it has slowed.

The Democrats have put themselves in a box. Their many one issue supporters will NOT allow them to do what it will take to regain the middle. So no, 2018 will not be a good year for them.

Only half right.
The Democrats are the party of the Urban elites, the government dependent, the crony capitalists, the perverted, and the invading barbarian.
Unfortunately, those seem to be growning demographics.

I’m convinced by their timid, piss-poor performance, Senatorial GOPers long for the days when they were relegated to minority status. There, they had no true responsibilities other than carping about life in the minority.

What good is all this good news when the republicans have absolutely no clue about how to wield power?
