With an amped up base and poached demographics that normally vote Democrat, Republicans had their WORST voter turnout in 3 presidential election cycles.
With an unmotivated base, Democrats still had 5M MORE voters turnout.
The Republican best case scenario barely beat the Democrats worst case scenario.
getting 5 million more voters coming out in liberal California doesn't mean anything unless you are electing a local politician
The Congress will be accomplices in Trump's corrupt administration.
The Democrats need to clean house and get back to basics. Stay away from the fringes. Sometimes they sound just as nutty as the right wingnuts. They need to take back city, county and state legislatures. They need to fix all the gerrymandering the GOPers have established to disenfranchise people. They need to make districts competitive.
We're just going to keep Trump's feet to the fire. He doesn't know what hard work is yet.
If his treasonous behavior can be PROVED beyond a shadow of a doubt, then History will judge him.
Democrats are saying they have nothing to worry about or change because Trump is guaranteed to be a bad president and probably get impeached
Are they right ? Is this a good tactic?
It's a terrible tactic. Both chambers of congress are Republican majority. In order to get Trump impeached, they need the approval of the GOP, which while I think it's pretty fair that most of the GOP don't actually like Trump, he is useful to them. He won't get impeached until the GOP decides he's no longer useful, which would be a full two term presidency. A given the cult following that he has, I honestly wouldn't be too shocked if he were elected a 2nd term, especially if the Democrat's strategy is "wait it out."
No, that is a terrible strategy. But who exactly is really saying that? Most of these "people are saying..." posts just end with some idiotic strawman made up by the OP.
We need a pragmatist centrist party. Too bad there doesn't seem to be one.
