The Daily 202: Trump may generate “mini wave” for House Democrats (Compost Alert!)

THE BIG IDEA:

BROOKLYN PARK, Minn.—Democrats hope Paul Ryan’s formal endorsement of Donald Trump will make it easier to link rank-and-file House Republicans with the polarizing businessman. “It’s no secret that he and I have our differences,” the Speaker writes in an op-ed for the Janesville Gazette. “But the reality is, on the issues that make up our agenda, we have more common ground than disagreement.”

-- For Democrats to pick up the 30 seats needed to take control of the House, they must win in districts like Minnesota’s Third, which includes the well-to-do western suburbs of Minneapolis and St. Paul. That will require knocking off GOP incumbents like Erik Paulsen.

The four-term congressman, formerly the majority leader in the State House, won in 2008 and 2012, even as Barack Obama narrowly carried the district. In 2014, he got reelected by 24 points.

After eight years of Nirvana you think people want more of this? The left, the media complex, and other haters of America are in panic mode now. The only wave is a patriotic one because the Hate America crowd has changed this country in ways nobody wants, and I think a growing number of Americans are realizing it and have had enough. Our fellow Freeper Bray says, “Pray America Wakes.” I think enough of our fellow citizens have and more are waking up with each passing week.

Well, with the GOPe Congress we have now, would a mini Democrat wave necessarily be a bad thing?

Not likely as these riots keep going on and pictures and video get posted on line showing Americans just what dems really are.
