Official LRC President Donald J Trump Thread

Like I've said before, I'm racked with fear of what will happen if Republicans hold on to the house. 538 still gives them a 12% chance.

Not good enough. That's 1 in 8. It's about the same odds as rolling two dice and getting either 10 or 12.

Roll two dice a few times. Every time you get 10 or 12 you should run screaming. It will be good practice.

Because if Republicans keep the house and the senate, there will be nowhere to hide.

Hide from what? What exactly do you think will happen? I'm really interested in this so I know what to expect.

anyone else making bets on Predictit?

Just to put me even more on edge, I have $150 spread across 10 or so bets for tonight.

Pretty much I'm using the Nate Silver numbers...I'll make a bet when the predictit market doesn't match up with Nate Silver's numbers.

The problem with this approach is that if I win 8 bets but lose two I'll probably lose money. Not a winning strategy. But it's fun.

Betting is low class.

To recap:

Media reports Hannity will be on stage at a Trump Rally

Hannity says its untrue and calls it fake news

Hannity then goes on stage at a Trump rally and calls reporters there fake news

And now Hannity says he was being truthful because he hadn't planned on going on stage

Nazi protocol.

Why is Sean Hannity on your mind? What does it matter?

While I would agree that three of the primetime talking heads on MSNBC (Chris Matthews, Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O'Donnell) are the left-wing equivalent of many Fox News alt-right whackos, it is entirely inaccurate to suggest the network is even close to Fox News in terms of bias. Every day starts with a cast of panelists on "Morning Joe" that is incredibly diverse, and every show between "...Joe" and the primetime hours is just as balanced. And there are few shows that include as much factual reporting as "The 11th Hour."

And giving credit where it's due, Shep Smith is the one bastion of truth and sensibility on the entire Fox News team. I am utterly stunned that he hasn't been forced out yet.

from breaking the US political system. Turning the US into a race based country of blood and soil rather than a melting pot or mosaic. From telling right wingers that the right way to campaign is lying and scaremongering and scapegoating. From stopping a president who declares often his wish to break the constitution.

It's decency vs. indecency, and we have to decide which.

good read on this why the repubs have to be told that Trumpism is a failure and they need to grow up and be statesmen, not moran deplorables.

CNN was so in the tank for Obama and kissed his bony ass every single day. Try again.

Mueller never

Clownpole forever

Trump gets neutered today.

If the dems win the house, the question is if the Repubs step back, take a look at the electoral wreckage and decide to push back against trumpism.

Or do they point at kav, tax cuts and the fear of being primaried by moran trumpers...and stay on the trump train.

They already know the Dems will take the House, so they will shrug it off as cyclical and not being a real indicator of any significant movement, especially if they have a net gain in the Senate. Besides, there are too many youngsters in the GOP who would not have made it without Trump, so trumpism is the only politics they know. He and his effect aren’t going away that easily - expect the bipartisan rhetoric to spike significantly over the next year. I’ll bet Trump and his band will dig their heels over the border wall funding and theathen to shut down the government if they don’t get support before year end. It is going to get much bloodier than this.

He has already stolen babies and put children in cages. This really happened. Right here in America.

There is no telling what he will do next.

maybe. Call me naïve, but if it's 2019, the House went to the Dems in 2018 and Nate Silver says there is an 80% chance of the Senate and WH flipping to the Dems in 2020, and Mueller shows conspiracy and obstruction and tax evasion charges...Do 18 US senators walk over to the oval office and have a little chat about what little Donald is going to say and do if he wants to be president next year? Meaning, enough to impeach.

I think something like that happens. Or just the whisper of it happening. Trump is, of all things, a survivor. he knows how to get out of wrecked situations. He's a terrible businessman so he has had much experience.

He'll have two options: A 'go to the people and ask them to destroy his enemies' or just shut up, enjoy AF1 and his free cable tv and let them win elections.

and Trump is a legit national security risk. The IC is terrified of what he owes to Russia and how he has handed out state secrets to hostile nations. Our allies are refusing to hand over information because they don't trust trump.

we could go on and on about how much we have to lose.

That's why I didn't go on and on. But yes, I could have.

If Trump keeps the house and senate he will have absolute and unchecked power.

Vote Democrat.

It’s going to be a bloodbath for Republicans today. I think they will take 60 House seats and win the Senate.

I literally don’t know anyone voting for a Republican. Not at work, not at the gym, not on Facebook, not on Instagram. Nowhere.

I hung out at the polling place for about 45 minutes today and everyone voted for Democrats.

Bye bye Trump.

If pubs keep the house and senate then the people have spoken that they favor Trump. He should have unchecked power. The majority gave it to him.

And they will be right. Check your history on midterms. The fact that so few seats are flipping is surprising.
