No, the Democrats can beat Trump w/ the right candidate and right message. For example, I like the Governor of Montana, Bullock. He's a common sense Democrat, not an Elite, works across the aisle to get things done.

Ryan and Congress did nothing on immigration. Why would they send them back to congress?


They want to give Pelosi and the Democrats another shot to deal with healthcare. Which Pelosi and the Democrats will overplay their hand and push for Medicare for all and that will be it for Democrats for 2020.
I know you’ll disparage Exit Polls, but support or opposition to Donald Trump was as strong as a factor as any issue. Unless he wins the support of suburbia at the level he won in 2016, and that R candidates failed to do in 2018, he won’t be re-elected.

a white Democrat from Montana? are you kidding me? The liberal elites from the coasts are not going to give him the nomination. That's like nominating Kaine from Virginia. Good luck in getting the base excited.

Donald Trump gets both bases excited. He’s a double-edged sword. Why do you think 30 million more people voted in 2018 than in 2014?

midterms have nothing to do with Presidential elections. If that's the case Clinton and Obama would have lost badly re-election after their party got blown away 2 years prior and they got elected easily.


the fact is Ryan's congress was weak and they were going to lose the house no matter what Republican was in the W.H.........the only way Republicans would have kept the house is if Hillary won to keep check and balances.

The Red Wall has held firm since 1988, that plus just 1 of the following Pa, Mi, or Wi, re-elects POTUS Trump.

The Blue Wall cracked in 2016.

simple. After losing 2014 and 2016 and being the minority party in all branches of government the Democrats were motivated and well funded. It's a boxing fight. Democrats won this round and now the Republicans will counter and having Pelosi as Speaker of the Hosue, well you know the game plan.

This has been American politics since forever, taking turns.

As long as he continues to stay true to who he is, Trump’s opponent whoever that will be, has already secured my vote. It’s about the restoration of dignity to the office.

Dignity like slick Willey nailing the intern in the closet?

Pathetic........

Trump has a negative approval in all three states.
