President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

I figured it was for smoking ganj at Lolla.

 

The next question anyone should ask him: Since he's so into Christian family values, was he a virgin until he got married?

 

No. He was 38 and she was 24... which makes her a Jr. or Sr. in high school when he was cruising the mall and football games.

 

It's looking like the early electoral math favors the Republicans at the House district level, and to a somewhat lesser extent at the Senate level.
The House seats are gerrymandered to such point it would take a miracle for the Republicans to lose it, and the Dems are defending more Senate seats and have more weak seats in play.
Most of Middle America is lined up against the Marxist Left, vanquished in the last century, with large pockets of Democrat support in the large metropolitan areas.

But if things keep going in the upcoming year as they've gone this year, a wipeout is very possible. A gerrymander isn't going to work against a landslide.
This president needs significant agenda legislation passed, or enough nominal Republican voters will say fuck it and stay home.
An unlikable president who routinely insults those whose support he needs is not a benefit.

All those people he attacks - guess what, they have supporters too. People who like them.
When he attacks some senator, the people in that state who like their senator and have supported him or her feel under attack as well.

Donald Trump is unwise, at best. An unserious buffoon with no vision or understanding of anything other than his silly life. The man does not think.

 

But the Globe? Yikes. Surely he’s joking about that.

 

You have more faith in him than I do.

 

Yes the Senate map favors the GOP as do the gerrymandered districts. But the primary season could yield some very unelectable GOP candidates.

 

The generic ballot is D +11 and Republicans are losing a ton of incumbents to retirement.

In a fair rule set, we would be asking if Democrats can win 300 seats. In gerrymandered world, they are still probably slight favorites to come out with a majority.

The Senate is still almost impossible

 

To add more to the absurdity of our modern politics:
