Off-Year Elections Show Trump’s Weakness
November 17, 2019 at 7:22 am EST By Taegan Goddard


“President Trump campaigned hard in three conservative Southern states this fall, aiming for a string of gubernatorial wins that would demonstrate his political strength heading into impeachment and his own reelection effort,” Politico reports.

“The plan backfired in dramatic fashion.”

“The latest black eye came on Saturday, when Trump’s favored candidate in Louisiana, multimillionaire businessman Eddie Rispone, went down to defeat. The president went all-in, visiting the state three times, most recently on Thursday. Earlier this month, Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin lost reelection after a similar presidential effort on his behalf. Of the candidates Trump backed, only Tate Reeves in Mississippi won.”

nothing either can do to expand their support base as they keep alienating so many demographic groups. There big ploy for 2020 will be some type of middleclass tax cut that will of course explode the budget deficit in hopes of democrats saying NO in the House. I am hoping that Pelosi sees this as an opportunity to turn it back on trump and GOP with even a larger taxcut, followed by rebate checks to Social Security retirees on SS , AND a tax increase on the upper 1%. The GOP and trump would be the one's saying no.

Turn the tables on scumballs
