Is voting in 2018 really as important as in 2016? Trump's not so sure

President goes off-course at anti-abortion gala, later rails against ‘spy’ in his campaign

.............................

The president likely ruffled a few Republican feathers Tuesday night with his comments at an anti-abortion gala in Washington.

Speaking at the Susan B. Anthony List’s Campaign for Life event, Trump urged anti-abortion advocates to head to the polls in November to maintain the Republican majority in Congress — and quickly veered from his prepared statement to offer his own thoughts.

‘Your vote in 2018 is every bit as important as your vote in 2016. Although I’m not really sure I believe that. I don’t know who the hell wrote that line . . . but it’s still important.’
President Donald Trump

Despite that lukewarm presidential call to arms, Vice President Mike Pence later called Trump “the most pro-life president in American history,” in a tweet.

just responding to OP title. This potus is such a disaster for an already divided populace. He leads the truly hateful around by the nose. And disgusts the rest of us patriot americans.

The RW hate machine is not patriotic, just racist, sexist and disgusting. Tsunami these depraved people in November.

I don't think so, in there blind hate for private matter on choice, they will listen to the great oz and his race bannon POS, and also for the simple fact, they want woman not to have an abortion, but will send the kid off to war, what is exactly does their meaning of being pro-life mean....................I'm confused....................and by the way sexual predator.....................did you tell them that you had paid for sex with a porn star.................to these god fearing hypocrites and then tell them not to vote, keep it up its not that important............................. .............................


and then spew these words of wisdom......................

‘Your vote in 2018 is every bit as important as your vote in 2016. Although I’m not really sure I believe that. I don’t know who the hell wrote that line . . . but it’s still important.’

He believes it is not important to him because he is not on the ballot.

Will he figure it out it's very important to him when the House is controlled by us? It's a lot of work signing stuff, so it would make his life easier. Maybe he believes that he can blame everything on us and win in 2020 based on that.

Maybe not!
