President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

That's true. I remember one leftist radio show (Stephanie Miller) opening with "Walking on Sunshine" for weeks after the 2006 midterms. Euphoria lasted all the way until the 2010 midterms.

 

Amazing how much Fox has morphed into Trump TV. They figure their viewers need to be shielded from difficult news, and told all is well.

 

I watched a couple of minutes of Carlson's show last night around 8:30 during a Caps commercial break, just out of curiosity more than anything. He actually had an informed discussion with a guest on why the Virginia race went down the way it did. I was stunned.

 

All electoral victories are temporary in a democracy. But winning is still way way better than losing.

 

It's all about playing defense on policy for the Democrats right now. The GOP can do real damage to the future if healthcare, tax cuts and education go their way. So elections like these and 2018 really do matter.

 

I’m confused here. I was told by the brightest of lights that the Democrats really had no chance in Virginia because all the white supremacists were lying to the pollsters. Was the election hacked by PortlandGuccifer or something?

 

Tomorrow they'll be back to regularly scheduled program ... fake dossier and Uranium One.

 

I kind of chuckle at Vanity Fair, which is being super on brand by really only covering the Trump administration through the Kushners. But, it has become the go-to place for Jared Kushner panic, which is apparently significant.

“They’re in a World of Shit”: Inside Ivanka and Jared’s First Year in Washington

 

MS-13 killed all the white supremacists.

 

When does @YankeeFan get back from Paris?

I'm awaiting his stories of wonderful food and, hopefully, leaping into the breach to repair a French coffee machine at a bistro on the Left Bank.

 

The Dems won Jason Chaffetz' seat in Utah, too.

The Senate Election here is on Dec. 12. With yesterday's results McConnell is going to start carpetbombing the state with Roy Moore ads tomorrow morning. There will be more of them than E.D. ads for a month. It's hard to judge the effects. The D's will be emboldened and energized, the R's will be determined not to lose this one, and GOP voters who might have stayed home might go vote. Nationally you know that they're determined not to lose this one.

OTOH, if Moore loses in Alabama, the Republicans will pee themselves. It might be enough to see some of them embracing Trump a little less tightly.
