But what people DO remember is that Trump has spent his entire presidency so far shitting the bed royally. At this point there is nothing Trump can do to redeem himself

Your analysis is objectively wrong. Get out of your echo chamber, shut off CNN. edvard says

I just know that every person I know whom didn't vote for Trump are outright incensed and cannot wait to go to the ballot box to get the ball rolling in the other direction.

Wrong again. I didn't vote for Trump, but probably will in 2020. From an independant, classic liberal perspective he's by far the best POTUS of our lifetime.

The people w TDS are indeed irrelevant and will always hate Trump or anyone CNN tells them to hate. It is a serious error in judgement to use those fools as proxy for the American people.

edvard says

Pretty much anyone with brains knows the economy was already doing like gangbusters before Trump ever took office.

Every metric is better under Trump. Do you deny this? Or you simply think the economy is irrelevant?

Guarantee you most Americans disagree.

"Your analysis is objectively wrong. Get out of your echo chamber, shut off CNN."

My analysis is of course absolutely spot-on and hate to burst yer' bubble but I don't watch network news.

"Wrong again. I didn't vote for Trump, but probably will in 2020. From an independant, classic liberal perspective he's by far the best POTUS of our lifetime. "

Saying that you're an independent doesn't make me automatically think you're special. If you plan on voting for Trump then you're not exactly a very intelligent person.

"The people w TDS are indeed irrelevant and will always hate Trump or anyone CNN tells them to hate. "

Remember- about 60% of the country disapproves of Trump and its over the crap he has done: whether it was in throwing support behind that nasty molester down in Alabama, choosing a white supremacist to be a part of his cabinet ( Bannon ), getting us into a trade war, cheating on his wives, lying constantly, going after the free press and raging like a little baby on twitter, paying off porn stars and using a shady lawyer under investigation for bribery and so on these all ad up to the fact that Trump is pretty much a shitty president whom has made the country look weak and pathetic.

"Every metric is better under. Do you deny this? Or you simply think the economy is irrelevant?"

Trump has had jack shit to do with the economy. The economy was already doing well before he became president. That people still think the president has anything to do with it is laughable. On the same token most economic indicators shows a correction/recession within the next year, so when that happens you'd better bet that what few Americans somehow believe the good economy is all trump will turn on him in a split-second.

Aphroman says

It’s strange how the Republican Party still looks exactly the same post Trump as it did before Trump

CNN will call them fascists despite reality.

Not only have a slew of swaml creatures annpunced returement, but Trump's train is totally different than anything we've ever seen. He combines some traditionally D positions (like the wall, American workers first policies) and some traditionally R positions (like lower taxes) w some traditionally libertarian positions (like ending wars).

D = R =/ Trump . Sorry D and R are identical, but Trump is altogether different.

Since you say the President (including Obama) has no impact on the great economy, you must be crediting the Republican Congress - right? The Republicans have been in the majority at the Federal level for nearly 4 years..........along with all those Republicans who dominate the State Legislatures and Governorships.

Also, Obama had no problem constantly blaming the bad economy and bad foreign policy that occurred on his watch on his predecessor Bush.

He can't defend his statements. Just more "Trump bad" platitudes.

I wonder if Edward will admit he's wrong after the blue wave doesn't come.

If the GOP had their way during the last recession the country would likely still be in recession as we speak. I distinctly recall the last recession: I and many others lost our jobs. The DOW, Nasdaq, and other major global trading markets were in free fall. Starting first with Bush ( which really irritated his base ) and then Obama started enacting emergency measures to prop up the economy. These measures were unpopular but necessary. Had the GOP had their way GM and Chrysler would've failed leading to millions of permanently unemployed workers. Had the GOP had their chance the huge mortgage and banking companies whom went bankrupt would've also been allowed to topple leading to an injection of massive quantities of debt to the economic system. Had the GOP had their way millions of Americans would've been thrown out of their homes.

The fact is that few Americans realize just how close we came to going into a depression aka- 1930's style. That's most certainly where we would've headed had the GOP been in power and that's a fact.

What worries me is that all indications show a recession within the next year. While now is smooth sailing and all we're dealing with are non-stop scandals in the white house, come a recession it will be very clear just how utterly clueless and ill-prepared this admin will be. It will be ugly. The good though is that if you want John Q. Redneck to get scared and turn on the current president in power, get into a recession. If we are in recession like many say we will next year you can bet yer' boots those trump supporters will snap out of it and come back to reality.... real fast...

edvard says

If the GOP had their way

Do you communicate w/o platitudes?

The neo-cons are terrible. Way to step out on a limb there. The Bush family, both Clintons, Obama and McCain are all neo-cons. All have the same agenda and play for the same team.

Trump isn't a neocon. Notice how all the neo-cons circled the wagons and attacked the outsider. It's people like George W and the Clintons who want Trump to fail. CNN has lost every shred of credibility. The American people are smarter than that.

Let’s take this word vomit point by point.
1) Trump wanted the other Republican, but conceded (grudgingly) to support Moore because he needed help in the senate. The scandal came out at the 23rd hour (nice timing by Democrats btw).
2)Bannon is not and has never been a white supremacist. Too much CNN and TDS!
3)We NEEDED a damn trade war to negotiate better trade deals! MAGA BITCHES!!!
4)Clinton got us used to Presidents who cheat on their wives so that’s a total “meh.”
5)depends on what the meaning of is is.
6)the “free” press is owned outright by six globalists who hate Trump and want to tear him down. They require all coverage of the POTUS to be negative or negative adjacent. Who would put up with that without an objection? Ridiculous!

I do hope you get over your TDS. Your case seems very advanced.

Between North Korea and Israel, the Hard Left is flailing desperately in negativity these past few days.

"Trump isn't a neocon."

You are right. He isn't a NeoCon. He's worse then that. He's simply a slick New York snake oil salesman who has managed to cheat, lie and bullshit his way through life and miraculously gets away with it. And he's good at it too because clearly you guys are hooked.
"I do hope you get over your TDS. Your case seems very advanced."

Seems like you have a basic cognitive ability. Yes- Whenever you can't present a counterpoint, bring up the damned Clintons.
Sorry but Bill Clinton was president 20 years ago.

The rest of your response was another yawn-inspiring diatribe of typical conservative wingnut tinfoil fodder...

The White Minority Illusion - Why the Democrats are becoming the Anti-White Party.

Now, as critics have pointed out, it's most likely misleading even to suggest that these ethnic categories will remain stable over the coming decades, given rising rates of intermarriage among the members of each group. But even if we assume for the sake of analysis that the categories remain intact, it's important to recognize that "white" is going to remain the plurality group for a very long time to come. In 2045, when the shift to "minority white" country is supposed to happen, whites will be 49.8 percent of the population, with Hispanics, at 24.6 percent, the next largest group at roughly half the size.

That's not the portrait of a country in which demographics are going to deliver liberals an automatic and permanent victory. It's the portrait of a country in which politics will continue as it always has, with different parties and politicians jostling for the support of a range of different groups.

Unless, that is, liberals can convince the non-white members of their current electoral coalition to begin thinking of themselves, first and foremost, as "people of color" united by their antipathy to, and in their oppression by, white America. If racism is defined, in part, by the tendency of whites to view everyone but themselves as "not white," then this would be a form of counter-racism in which non-whites positively affirm as a politically potent identity what was once treated as a form of stigma.

The doubling down on identity politics among liberals since Donald Trump's election follows from something like this ambition to unify non-whites against the Republican Party and in favor of the Democrats. (At the same time, the left's growing emphasis on intersectionality, which sows division instead of unity by highlighting the distinctive, irreducible grievances suffered by the members of ever-narrower demographic sub-categories, adds a heavy dose of self-contradiction to the project.)

It would appear that the "emerging Democratic majority" requires anti-white identity politics as its midwife.

That would be inadvisable in civic terms even if demographic trends over the next half century favored non-whites more convincingly than they do. As it is, liberals risk actively antagonizing (and hence galvanizing against them) what will remain for some significant time to come the single-largest demographic group in the United States.

Note that Trump and the GOP is only popular with middle aged white Americans. The rest of the country dislikes the GOP. Hence why the GOP is on borrowed time and if they continue going down the path of using Nixon's Southern Strategy they will fade into the dustbin of history.

ence why the GOP is on borrowed time

The GOP of ten years ago is already gone. Trump is, and will continue, an enormous surge w minorities.

I’m going to be laughing sooo hard in November when the dinosaurs of the Leftist party are wailing and gnashing their teeth in the outer darkness of electoral defeat.

It’s going to be epic.

Since the Leftists are always bringing up state races:

Republican flips a seat that hasn't been Republican since the Beatles were together.

Or they reform themselves. Like get rid of Superdelegates, abandon the "Evil White Cisgendered Male Scum" platform, stop demonizing the largest segment of the electorate, stop blaming Married Women, etc.

Or, they can elect new party heads who love Louis Farrakhan and fap to Childish Whatever the Fuck his name is Anti-American Bullshit.

Uh.... that didn't happen in 2008 or 2012 and so far Trump and the GOP have been shitting the bed real good, pissing off the 60% of the population that doesn't support Trump.

You guys had your fun. The party will be over in November...

It would be a mistake for those of you still supporting trump to ignore the levels of anger the rest of us- the 60% of the country- feel at this point. Our voted and voices will be heard soon enough...

How could we ignore it? The "resistance" has been having a temper tantrum for the last 1.5 years constantly screeching about traitors, racists, Russians and porn stars. We are not ignoring, we are mocking you at this point.

And based on the recent polls showing Trump's popularity increasing and the Democrat lead in the generic ballot shrinking to within the margin of error - I think it is about time that the Democrats and their media enablers do some soul searching and try and find out why their brand is not selling despite having near monopolistic control over our news and information.

Here's the Polls. Even the bad ones have Trump way better than 60% disapproval.
