Midterms: The winners and losers
I can agree with most of this. I would also add that American Democracy was a winner as it is as vibrant as ever.
I agree it was a mixed night for Trump. Trump needed a check so I think the flip of the House was very good for the Republic. The governorships were also a mixed bag with a slight edge to the Dems.
Losers are those that think Donald Trump's defeat in 2020 is a foregone conclusion. Far from it.
In 2020 republican (aka, Trump ass-kissers) will defending 22 of 34 senate seats; good luck with THAT....put down the orange kool-aid; the times they are a-changing.
Right. That explains how Republicans were able to pick up seats in the Senate. Oh, I know. It was Gerrymandering. Thatās it.
What a moronic non-sequitur...........Reality and facts are what you Trump ass kissers must truky hate.
Facts are the Republicans picked up seats in the Senate. The reality is that the Democrats are riding a tiger to use one analogy. Or leading a mob of torch and pitchfork wielding villagers to use another. The reality is the Democrats are in trouble, a lot of trouble.
Democrats ran on gun control. In Georgia, so did Abrams and Johnson. Both lost. Abrams doesnāt believe it yet, but she will in time.
Now, what does that leave for Democrats. They campaigned on āGetting Trumpā and Gun control, and abolishing ICE. They canāt do any of those things. They just canāt. Not just holding the House. So what happens when the first Budget is proposed to the House? Nancy cuts money from ICE and plays into Trumps hand? Nope. No way. Nancy is too smart for that, and the Tiger turns on them. Or she does cut money from ICE, and every Illegal who jaywalks is going to be headline news and the subject of a Trump Tweet with the statement that Democrats donāt want to do anything about the criminals running amok.
Going after guns? Dead before arrival. Long before. The Senate will never pass it, and Trump wouldnāt sign it even if they did.
Getting Trump? The Democrats can hold dozens of hearings, and Trump can and will fight them in court for at least the entire two year period. If they get the Tax Returns, one of the Democrats will have it in the fax machine to the Press before ten minutes are up, and then theyāll be committing a crime. Youāve given Trump what he needed desperately. He needed a Bogieman to focus his tweets at. The media is already mistrusted and whatās left for him to rail against?
Propose a budget where any of the things you want are in it, and it will not pass. If Democrats comprimise The supporters will turn on them for not standing up to Trump, if they stand up, the American People will be disgusted, and the next election swings back the other way. In the meantime, the Senate is going to be confirming Judges as fast as they can, and asking for more to confirm. Democrats will keep rushing phony victims of non existent crimes out to stop the process, and will lose again.
This isnāt a great day for Democrats, theyāre in a minefield. And Trump is the one throwing the mines while laughing.
