These are the Democrats who will abandon the "Party of AOC" and become Republicans. Most likely they are "straight" and white.
“Donald Trump may have found the formula for winning a second term in 2020.”
The winning formula will be to repeat what he did last time; except with a major start on the wall now.
“Trump is heir apparent to what Buchanan has been preaching since he ran for president.”
I remember reading an article by William F Buckley on Buchanan’s run.
It was a kind of a slam at Buchanan, but Buckley did say, toward the end of his article, that Buchanan was more of a prophet than a politician, and that “if the country is to be saved, it will be saved along the lines laid down by Buchanan.”
Basically all President Trump has to do is run against the Democrats. When Nancy Pelosi represents the more moderate wing of your party, you know you’ve got a bunch of real whack jobs in it.
That was the big upside of the Democrats taking the House. They’ve probably just ensured Trump’s re-election. I hope their tears are just as salty this time.
The winning formula is let the Democrats eat their own, self destruct, and continue talking about their loony left proposals.
I always like reading Pat’s take on Trump because as you say, he laid a lot of the groundwork for Trump’s positions on many issues.
The Formula for 2020: Trump Being Trump.
He’s going to wipe the floor with those Leftist Loony Tune Characters.
Bump!
Somebody up there liked Barack Obama too, but the feeling wasn't mutual.
They’re even closer together than you said. Not many were willing to help the peasants with pitchforks back in 1990. Too bad.
Triumph? As mid-term elections go, this was hardly a “triumph”. They lost ground in the Senate, and barely got a majority in the House, which they are now using to make asses of themselves.
I said to my wife over the weekend, if CNN is reporting 76% it’s probably closer to 90!
