“...the Dems really, if we’re honest, have NO MESSAGE, nothing to get excited about nothing to “attract” the middle.”
The Dems have not had a message to get excited about at any time in my 74 years, the only difference is now they can’t even find a way to pretend that they have a valid message.
Republicans will overreach; politicians of all stripes always do. My opinion? It will be on a social issue - likely abortion or gay marriage. Some arrogant fool, convinced of their own infallibility, will try for a Hail Mary instead of patiently moving the ball forward. That will swing the pendulum back to the liberal side of the aisle.
Hopefully, it will take a few years. The amount of damage that the current administration is undoing is amazing. Just appointing sensible judges who enforce the law, rather than rewrite it to suit a whim, will solve a generation's worth of problems.
Pres Trump could appoint as many as 4 or 5 members to the Supreme Court - for instance, if Republicans hold the Senate in 2018, I'd look for Clarence Thomas to retire. Just that one fact alone made Trump an excellent pick.
Palmettos seem to have a special affinity for illegal aliens.
