hmm. Sounds like Barr has been passing along tidbits to his boss.

2) Dems have shown over the past 2 years that they will crawl over glass to vote against trump and Trumpism. This is new. They were just meh after 8 years of Obama. Now they are p-ed off and will vote. That will get them the 80,000 votes they lost by in 2016.
Didn't the Dems flip a House typically a Republican stronghold seat in a PA special election yesterday? I thought I saw a headline saying such.
yup. PA is looking pretty blue right now. that's a lot of electoral votes.
and just think if beto runs...the GOP will have to spend a fortune in texas to keep that one blue. They'd have a tough time getting all those big expensive states - TX, PA, FL, MI.

I can speak for FL. We will remain a red state and vote Trump in 2020. We have a GOP governor and two GOP senators.
You libs will not flip FL. Forget about it. Your consolation prize is that Broward County & Miami- Dade will stay Blue.
M-A-G-A!!!

The Democrats were basically given one choice, though Bernie did put up a fight.
Republicans spent a decade assassinating the character of Hillary Clinton. It was all about hating her and voting agasint her.
Trump hatred is at that level but in bigger numbers.
I feel sorry for Jeb. I would have been ok with him as President. Funny how Jeb is seen as the moderate when he’s more conservative than his father or brother.

Just to be devil's advocate here, midterm elections typically go the way of the opposing party, and so 2018 was in line with what was expected even IF the President weren't an unpatriotic serial lying criminal. Granted, it was a bigger win than normal for the opposing party, and the only reason Democrats didn't also take the Senate was just due to the election map that heavily favored Republicans.
Voters in Presidential elections typically DO look at "am I better off today than I was 4 years ago?" For those of us in the stock market, if only looking at that, the answer is yes. Now, it would have gone up about what it has (other than the artificial priming Trump gave it) no matter who was in office, Republican or Democrat, but still, the answer to that question for wealthy invested people is Yes. Will most of the people who voted for Trump be able to answer that way? Not sure. The unemployment rate has improved (though it would have not matter what), but some studies suggest lower-income and non-professional people have not benefited from the "Trump economy".
Since lots of Trumpers were on record saying their taxes had gone down even before that was in effect, I find it entirely believable that people will see what they want to see. Because of that and other reasons, like I have said before, at this point I am not sure Trump can't win again (IF he is eligible). I reserve the right to change my opinion on that as we see who the Democrat nominee is and how the economy is at that point and what other illegal/unethical things Trump does between now and then.
Added to Feb abysmal jobs report, the full report on Friday will be interesting...
Tick, tick, tick, tick.....

Yep. Probably so. He lies so much about everything. Remember he said he's sit down with Mueller "100%."
He's such a criminal, and Trumpers are enablers. Shameful.

To be fair, the unemployment rate in Feb was 3.8%. That is insanely low. The Dow is up over 12% YTD. Trump isn't doing himself any favors with the tariffs and threatening to close the border and just his overall incompetence, but despite it all, currently we have a very good economy. Good economies eventually end, but I don't see a fall off the cliff unless some really unforeseen event happens. I expect the 2020 election to go on with still a pretty good economy.
Instead of your opinions, let's look at a couple polls. Hispanic approval for Trump
in March jumped to 50% (McLaughlin poll). The Feb Politico poll showed Trump’s Hispanic approval at 45%.
In other words ....no one hates illegal aliens more than legal immigrants.
Trump wins, Trump wins again.
Trump backed Nancy Pelosi for speaker of the House, and went so far to ask the far-alt-right Freedom caucus members of the House to vote for her.
Yep. ... Trumpers ...
Sherman and Palmer also report that once Democrats won the House, and now-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) was scrambling to rally enough support in her caucus to win the top leadership role, Trump devised a plan to help his rival if she couldn’t muster the Democratic votes: “He would ask the Freedom Caucus, the most conservative members of Congress and his staunchest allies, to do the unthinkable and vote for Pelosi.”
Trump told the authors that he thought “the most conservative members of Congress would do him a favor by voting for Pelosi.”
Uh oh, it just keeps getting worse for Creepy Uncle Joe.
In 2016 then VP Biden threatened the Ukrainian President that the Obama Admin would pull $1B in U.S. loan guarantees if he didn't fire a Ukrainian prosecutor- the prosecutor that was investigating corruption related to a company in which Hunter Biden sat on the board.

Florida will remain a nailbiter and could go either way in any given year. The Dems lost the governorship in the primary. Graham probably would have won the general election.
DeSantis is doing a good job thus far though.

In all my years I have never once met even a single person who justified their POTUS vote as being a vote FOR the candidate. It is always, ALWAYS a vote AGAINST the other guy.

Agree on DeSantis. He even won the hearts of the tree huggers with his environmental war to stop algae from Lake Okeechobee leaking into the fresh water supply. His popularity has increased since he took office this year. However, Trump will have a bigger margin of victory in FL for 2020.

Muller is with Trump deep state group, over 2 or 3 years the investigation set a trap for media and DNC collusion, slander, fraud. They got all the data open and shut cases. for blackmail, prison, cooperation purposes.
all is fair in love and war.
adding the racist attitude of american posters, of which the self proclaimed white non-racists.
those so called white non-racists are total racists from square 1.
they group themselves into a box and you into a box, where somehow an irish descendent from new york, who was basically a serf of england, to a totally mistreated low income earner in america, who's descendentants are suppose to be responsible for slavery, and have all this white guilt.
libflakes are the racists, making more divisions, only in america, my carrib and african friends just laugh at the tendency of thought in america.
wacko is anyone that plays a race card these days.
think about it. only racists shout racism these days.
probably totally correct.

Sally is a black, hispanic, ultra-conservative who was a man, but now identifies as as a woman who has a wife, and he-she is now lesbian who identifies as a man who likes to post using girly names (Sally, Polly and the neuter name of Fatty).
Since Trump now likes Pelosi then I like her too.
