Your narrative is not based upon the last election.

Oh and the last couple since trump was elected have had the democratic side get far more votes then they ever had in the past few elections in those areas. Actually contestable seats will be a blowout I think if this holds.

I think they're doing ok.



Democrats should have won a lot of Senate seats in 2016 since 24 Republicans were up for reelection vs. just 10 Democrats.


In 2018, that flips with 23 Democrats, 2 independents who caucus with Democrats and just 8 Republicans defending their seats.


The time for Democrats to pick up seats was 2016.

Let's keep these fresh.

Happy Tuesday to Y'all.

But if by some miracle he manages to last all 4 years.. he will DEFINITELY lose in 2020. Its clear as day. He barely won this time.

What happened to Trump not lasting 4 months?
Oh yeah. They're gonna be walking a lot of media trash talk back once this Russia Collusion thing falls through.

Parties come and go in cycles. That's just the way it is. 8 years of this, 8 years of that, 4 years here, 12 years there. If you study history at all, you'll see each party has been in control at various points and it's best to try not to be too smug because things will cycle again (as they always do eventually).

Nothing about this Presidency has been anywhere near normal from day one, so there is no reason to believe it will end calmly. I think impeachment is only one scenario, resignation is a possibility, or perhaps some medical emergency that takes him out of that office. He is in horrible physical shape, does not exercise or take care of himself, and eats like a pig.

In any event, this fiasco is going to end up just as strange as it began, mark my words. We will all be saying "WOW" before this one is over.

How will Cons react when Trump is impeached?

Personally i dont think he will be impeached,more likely a heart attack will take him out,however if he is impeached
Righties will do what they always do,whine .itch and belly ache with much juvenile hateful name calling and of course blame others for their own incompetence.

Nope, 2/3 of the Senate will never agree to remove a sitting President. This is what Clinton and Democrats so clearly demonstrated.

The Democrats have used up all their political capital on this Russian deal that didn't pan out.
They have no political pull, to accomplish anything, but a good cry.

His crystal ball was a little hazy that day, I guess. Like all the other days.

All I know is if the OP predicts "X" will occur, I'll take the double odds on "X" not happening. It's money in the bank every time.
