That's all he's got. Perhaps it will be an old fashioned Republican that will beat Trump. <br /><br />If the GOP were sane, and it definitely isn't, they'd be begging Charlie Baker to be their standard bearer. He's the most popular governor in the U.S., and he's a Republican in a blue, blue state -- a state that has the highest disgust index for Trump. Baker is everything Trump isn't: a decent human being, honest, appealing, disiplined, intelligent -- traits that the Republican Party used to value in their candidates. Now they only care about tax cuts and Supreme Court justices, and the devil take the hindmost.Shaw Kenawehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08637273000409613497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838569462983439.post-20218858442891941062018-08-21T13:52:49.008-04:002018-08-21T13:52:49.008-04:00Anonymous @11:14 AM, if the economy is doing so gr...<b>Anonymous @11:14 AM</b>, if the economy is doing so great (and it is -- but just for the 1%, wages are stagnant for average workers) then why isn't #45 wildly popular? He still can't break 50% and hasn't since he got elected with the help of Russia. In fact, he's below 40% approval in some polls! It will take more than the economy to give President Porn Star Shagger another 4 years, unless American hero, Bob Mueller, indicts the corrupt and traitorous s.o.b.<br /><br />The economy won't help Trump stop being his disgusting, morally piggish self.

If you believe abortion is murder, then logically, you will vote for whomever espouses that view. Likewise, and the Dems failed to grasp this, as the economy improved, many ppl were left behind. Oddly, this was especially true in my state of Nevada, perhaps the hardest hit state in the union. Yet nevada went for HRC. What we saw were large swaths of the country, primarily rural yes, but elsewhere too, where good paying jobs were still not being created.<br /><br />I think Trump also is a marketing genius and someone who understands television in the 21st century. He dominated coverage, dictated what the news would say about him, when and how. The Dems had no answer, or understanding of how to respond.<br /><br />Add that to a deeply flawed candidate who took her supposed "win" for granted, add it up and we have, for better or worse... President Donald Trump.<br /><br />As to your projections... I think if Trump is on the ballot in 2020, he wins reelection... partly because, as you mentioned, the Dems have no message, apart from "We Ain't Trump" and that does not win elections. I share your thoughts in that I believe the GOP holds both the Senate and the House later this year.<br /><br />I just do not see someone who can unite the left as DJT has united the right.<br /><br />Maybe you, Shaw or anyone else here has someone in mind, but as usual, I see the Dems as pretty fractured.<br /><br />Just my thoughts...Dave Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16777087329254991970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838569462983439.post-89138206893215879012018-08-21T11:14:58.006-04:002018-08-21T11:14:58.006-04:00It's the economy,stupid It's the economy,stupidAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838569462983439.post-56285501842880552202018-08-21T10:54:19.010-04:002018-08-21T10:54:19.010-04:00Donald Trump is moving the line of action deeper w...Donald Trump is moving the line of action deeper within "Freedom of Speech"! Taking away security clearances is just one action to silence his critics. He can tell your boss to fire you because he cannot tolerate criticism. Or he can tell people to boycott your business because of your criticism. Trump wants people to be "nice" to him. But he wants to use dictator's coercion methods in VIOLATION OF OUR CONSTITUTION! Just to gain your "niceness"? Whether he himself criticizes or just taking action against people, "niceness" is his polar opposite!THUS SPAKE ZARALOBSTRAnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838569462983439.post-13693445223216495972018-08-21T08:55:37.747-04:002018-08-21T08:55:37.747-04:00Unknown: "The next two (2018-2020) election c...<b>Unknown</b>: "The next two (2018-2020) election cycles should show how strong his support is."<br /><br /><a href="https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/direction_of_country-902.html" rel="nofollow">The lastest polls show that a majority of the American people believe the country is on the wrong track.</a> Only Trump's cultists think everything is peachy. <br /><br /><b>Ray</b>, How #45 conducted himself as a businessman (cheating, lying, threatening) didn't matter to Trump's cultists.

So many voted for him because he convinced them he could run the country like a business. He failed to tell the voters that he became rich by cheating and stealing from thousands, and by lying every day. You can’t run a country like that, and he is mad about that.Ray Cranstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04774617992524125630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838569462983439.post-12360553551344776522018-08-20T22:16:20.343-04:002018-08-20T22:16:20.343-04:00Your lack of understanding of how millions of Amer...Your lack of understanding of how millions of Americans could support Trump is understandable. I have the same problem. Suffice it to say, they did/do and he is president. This is a reflection of who we (the American people) are, sadly. <br /><br />The next two (2018-2020) election cycles should show how strong his support is. I expect Trump to lose reelection, but I don't expect Republicans to lose the House, or the Senate. I hope I am proven wrong. <br /><br />Democrats need to define and express what their policies are and unite behind one candidate. Splitting the vote within Democrats, or having a strong 3rd party candidate could allow Trump to win again. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
