    Re: POTUS 45.43: The Caravan is Coming. Fear the Caravan.

    Someone’s scared this morning that the House will show he’s not Scrooge McDuck rich or that he really enjoys Russian real estate.

              Well he was a Marxist Socialist Kenyan Muslim Black Power Christian after all!

              It was funny at about 11pm listening to the GOP clowns on CNN tapdancing and giddy because it looked like things might go great for them. They even mentioned how things like Walker winning in Wisconsin showed that they were in good shape and the people have spoken in support of Trump. I would assume they were gone by the time WI called it but it would have been funny to see the look on Sanitarium's face after that

                From today's WaPo Post Partisan

                By Ed Rogers
                Opinion writer
                November 7 at 12:54 AM
                While Tuesday night was not a complete win for Republicans, there was no blue wave, either. By most measures, Republicans beat the odds of history and nearly everyone’s expectations, while Democrats were left disappointed as the fantasy of Beto O’Rourke, Andrew Gillum, Stacey Abrams and others winning fizzled. Not one new progressive Democrat was successful bursting onto the scene. It will take a few days to process the meaning of this year’s election returns, but the instant analysis is clear: Democrats may have won the House, but Trump won the election.

                As I always say, in politics, what is supposed to happen tends to happen. I predicted in August that the Democrats would take the House but that alone was not enough for most Democrats. As much as this year’s midterms offered an obvious opportunity to rebuke President Trump, little of what the arrogant Democrats and members of the mainstream media expected would happen actually did. So much of what they said turned out to be wrong that it will take a while before the significance becomes clear. And if the 2018 midterms prove anything, it is that Trump is standing strong while Democrats and their allies who thought Trump would have been affirmatively rejected are in fact the ones who have themselves been denied.

                Democrats have underperformed in comparison with the historical markers and general expectations of a midterm cycle. The president’s party loses 37 seats in the House on average in midterm elections when his approval is below 50 percent — but Democrats aren’t projected to pick up nearly that many seats. No liberal will want to admit it, but Trump is an asset to the Republican Party, while President Barack Obama was a disaster for the Democratic Party.

                Let the message be clear: Voters had a chance to repudiate Trump and they did not. Much of the commentariat has said this year’s elections are about who we are as a country and what America is all about. Well, a lot of America seems to be about supporting Trump. The Democrats thought Trump’s negatives would be enough to propel them to victory. The 2018 results show it is clear they need a different plan if they think they can win in 2020.

                The midterms largely followed the conventional wisdom of how midterms are supposed to go. The president’s party lost some seats, but by and large what happened was far from the blue-wave rebuke that Democrats and their allies in the media said was going to happen. So if the midterms were supposed to be bad for the GOP and all eyes were on Trump this year, the big question is whether anything about Tuesday night’s results supports the idea that Trump was a weight on Republican candidates. Is Trumpism a political blight on the Republican Party? The answer is that Trumpism is a net plus. What that says about the GOP and America is unclear. But for the purposes of the 2018 midterms, Trump is a winner.

                Trump and his allies have an appeal that the elites in New York and Hollywood cannot dismiss or combat. All of the 2018 Democratic heartthrobs lost. That must sap the enthusiasm of the resistance. For the most part, when voters had to decide, the angry left was rejected and Trump was rewarded.

                    yea, the world that dumpy and ed want is not one I want. It makes zero economic sense to give tax breaks to people who save the most money in society, and it makes even less sense to attack people for who they are.

                    It will be interesting to see IF there is a ratcheting up of identity violence, which is exactly what we are seeing now. If that really happens, who will really feel safe? Other than people in brown shirts? But it's that distraction that is letting R's give money to people who 1) don't use it and 2) don't need it.

                      Rich people use their money. They just don't use on the things most ordinary folks do.

                      And they do need their money to (a) give it away and/or (b) maintain their lifestyle of the rich and famous.

                        According to Ed that Dubya ONLY lost 30 seats in the House in 2006 shows that the country still really liked and supported Dubya

                        Ed is a moron...and was one long before that Faux style spin.

                          No, they don't. If they did, they wouldn't be rich anymore.

                          A poor person spends nearly 100% of their income just to live. A rich person spends a fraction on living expenses, an additional fraction on luxuries, and invests the rest (and pays a lower tax rate on that investment to boot).

                              Using /= Spending. It also includes savings and investments (often one and the same).
