Or Russians. Or ICE. Or all three.

Of course not, and I will be absolutely entertained by their meltdown. I'm so excited to see the litany of excuses that will come from the left. It might make "What Happened" seem rational.

row_33 Posted June 3, 2018 Posted June 3, 2018 Make Mueller stand there and apologize like Ralphie had to with Tony Soprano make Mueller swear in before the world and admit he jerked around for years with nothing to show for it, knowing full well he had nothing the whole time

Republicans are going to lose seats in the House. Whether the Democrats gain enough to take the Majority is still to be determined Republicans may pick up seats in the Senate. Not because of Trump but because Democrats are defending more vulnerable seats than the Republicans this year

Not because of Trump but because Democrats are defending more vulnerable seats than the Republicans this year I just don't see the Dems picking up 20 plus seats with the economy this strong. The push to impeach the president backfired for the Republicans in the '98 midterms (also facing a strong economy) and I think history will repeat itself.

The economy was strong when the GOP lost a Alabama senate seat and the House election in PA. Things look good for GOP in the Senate this time around, though. Might even pick up seats so they can pack the courts some more

Clinton was massacred in 1994 and his good showing in 1998 was seized on by the driveby media for all kinds of reasons. The People swing on a pendulum, there really is no difference between the two parties in the long view of things...
B-Man Posted June 5, 2018 Posted June 5, 2018 BEN SHAPIRO: Are Democrats Blowing It? Instead of playing nice with Trump, while stoking the flames of anti-Trump ire with their base, Democrats promised a deus ex machina: Trump would flame out, retire, be impeached, be prosecuted by Robert Mueller for Russian collusion, and all the rest. Trump wasn’t merely a bad guy — he was the worst guy, a buffoonish Hitler clad in the armor of cruel conservatism. But there’s a problem: Trump hasn’t flamed out. Mueller so far hasn’t come up with credible evidence of Russian collusion, and even the high hopes surrounding porn star Stormy Daniels have gone flaccid. Trump himself seems alternatively irked by his office and trollishly empowered by it, but never willing to walk away. That’s dispiriting to the Democratic base, which spends each morning fuming over the latest Trumpian twitterstorm, thrilling to the extremist musings of kooks such as Maxine Waters (D., Calif.). Any plan which relies on the ineptitude of your opponent is hardly a plan at all. More: All of which means that Democrats have been forced to turn to the second prong of their 2018 attack: policy. But on policy, the Democratic record looks even worse. Trump’s rhetoric continues to fuel feelings of unmoored chaos, but the markets continue to soar, the job market grows, and we’re not in the middle of any serious foreign-policy crisis. In 2016, CNN Money warned, “A Trump win would sink stocks.” Nope. Pelosi warned that Trump’s tax cuts were mere “crumbs” that would amount to nothing. Nope. Hollywood celebrities warned about the significant possibility of global thermonuclear war. Nope. Democrats promised a dystopian hellscape. Instead, they got an economy so good that the New York Times ran a piece headlined “We Ran Out of Words to Describe How Good the Jobs Numbers Are.”
