I'm not sure where your animus for him stems from, but it seems it may be rooted in nothing more than bigotry.
This, coming from a birther. What unbelievable hypocrisy.

Clearly the democrats are going to pick up some seats in 2018, it remains to be seen how many though.

I think they'll retake the house but not the senate but there is still plenty of time for things to change.

given efforts in korea, there might be news that bodes well for republicans in november, especially if they can hammer out a peace treaty there to officially end the korean war.

Since Trump has the attention span of a goldfish, wonder who in his 'WARMONGERING' Administration could possibly put together and offer a sensible peace treaty......now that would be something to see, LOL, LOL,LOL!

Republicans won this battle. But the numbers make very clear that they are losing the war.

Looks like a "BLUE WAVE" to me, here's even more good news~Dems flip New York state seat that Republicans have held for nearly four decades
Democrats in New York flipped a New York Assembly seat on Tuesday, winning a seat that has been in GOP hands for nearly four decades.
Democrat Steve Stern, a former Suffolk County legislator, beat out Janet Smitelli (R) for AD-10, a Long Island seat, with 59 percent of the vote, according to Daily Kos.
Dems flip New York state seat that Republicans have held for nearly four decades
But we did win, and we won in a US district.

Dems flipped a state seat.
You should throw a party.

This area has been invaded by thousands of "refugees" and MS-13 gang members, and according to a friend of mine, hardly anyone speaks English where she shops. It's not a surprise, given that migrants flooding an area are able to change the "landscape." That's why the Democrats want illegals to vote, and why they want open borders. It's the only way they can win.
Gang members dont vote
Voters are what threaten the future of the GOP

and with special elections, voters tend to not turn out as they do with general elections, even mid term elections, so i dont consider special election results to be indicative of what will happen in the general election.

so my advice would be to wait and see how energized republican voters are in november compared to democrat voters.


It won't matter. Independents decide the election. And why would republicans be energized.

My advice would be to become the change you want to accomplish
Vote, register eligible people to vote, offer to drive people to the polls if they need help, encourage those with transportation or work issues to vote via mail, support Democartic candidates, contribute money or time---
But VOTE--don't way to see what happens...

A good question, I think.

Last time it was Hillary who energized the Republicans. I remember John Kerry did the same thing.
Obama, of course energized the Democrats.
Clinton didn't energize anyone. He never got 50% of the vote.

So I guess the answer depends on who the Democrats run. I expect the Democrat field to be pretty packed, but I also expect the candidates will push each other farther and farther left as they all try to distance themselves from Trump.
In the end they will be too far left and Trump will win.
