The 2018 Midterms

[Super]

man, so similar

to be fair old white men don't have enough representation in politics.

[57Brave]

How many have the penmanship skills to reproduce their signature exactly - every time
over the course of a few years ?

"Sometimes they go to their car, put on a different hat, put on a different shirt, come in and vote again. Nobody takes anything. It’s really a disgrace what’s going on."

this is absurd and dangerous. once again stoking fear. it's all he's got. how on earth are some OK with a president completely making things up?

i still find it crazy that the likes of Kr and other trump lovers biggest "complaints" that obama dived the country (still not sure how he did that but i digress)

and they have no problem with how trump conducts himself to actually divide us

Anyone else getting a very bad feeling about the 2020 elections. If its not a landslide we may be in for some real ****. If this comes down to a supreme court case I am both worried about the supreme court case objectivity, the perceotion of its objectivity, whether Trump will actually obey that court order if he loses, the ability of fake news to push election fraud, who will make Trump step down, and will the extreme fringe of Trumps base get violent.

[The Chosen One]

I think Trump wants out. He doesn't want to be "forced" out. But if he loses I think he'll still claim cheating and unfairness, but like post-Mid-Terms the conspiracy stuff like the Caravan and Pre-Existing conditions fear stuff will slowly go away.

If you read about how little he already works in the White House + how much he golfs, he already doesn't care much for the job. He knows once he leaves office he'll still be beloved by his base and could start his own network like Beck or Alex Jones and keep making money assuming he isn't in trouble with the Mueller investigation.

This. I have a buddy from grade school who harped on how Obama had divided the country. The Fox News propaganda machine has brainwashed so many people.

“And then they remind me that there’s a lot of liberal folks in those other schools who maybe we don’t want to vote,” Hyde-Smith can be heard telling a small crowd of young people outside her campaign bus in a video taken Nov. 3 and posted on online Thursday. “Maybe we want to make it just a little more difficult. And I think that’s a great idea.”

I think you are underestimating how much of an egomaniac he is and how much he really believes a lot of his own lies.

This is for those that, once again, jumped the gun wondering "what blue wave" ?
I guess it is part and parcel of millennials and instant gratification society to not let things play out - run their course - create history rather than headlines
We see this over and over .
You know who you are.

This is a fascinating read:

Definitely was a blue wave that didn't appear to be on election night.

Trump seems to has dramatically changed his tone as well

Winning the Senate seat in Florida is yuge for the Republicans, perhaps their most important win in the 2018 mid-terms. With the electoral map much less friendly as far as the Senate goes in 2020, they need as much cushion as possible.

Governorships going to be even more important in both States.

Kemp is going to redistrict to stack the tables against the Dems even more. Whatever progress Atlanta suburbs made in going Blue is going to be wiped out.

[sturg33]

Is this a media issue or a partisan one (or perhaps the same)

[57Brave]

or perhaps 83% of the +7% (D) dont view the economy as sunshine up the ass as you and (whoever the **** is) Charles Lane

Oh.

[sturg33]

By any objective and historical measure... the economy is doing great.

So we have four options:

1. Dems don't care to be intellectually honest... they hate Trump enough to justify lying

2. Dems have been told a different story from whatever media they listen to

3. Dems are simply ignorant of reality and math

4. Objective and historical measures of the economy no longer apply, and things are actually terrible for reasons that aren't clear

[57Brave]

and should it be a partisan issue you seem to find yourself on the wrong side
again
would think you'd learn

If it is a media question --- who cares ?
perhaps you are reading only one side.
Which explains your asking the partisan question
