For darn sake, why all the relentlessly negative posts, defeatism, and gloom on DU? [View all]
If you just got your news from DU GD page 1, this is what you would take away:
1. Trump is going to get away with firing Mueller. Fact: Mueller will sue for being fired without just cause and be re-instated by the courts. Worst case. Barring that, Democrats won’t vote for government funding bills in the senate until Mueller is reinstated.
2. Fox News has brainwashed everyone into loving Trump and he is a wildly popular president: uhhhh, no. He just hit a bloody all-time low in NBC/WSJ today and is near that in Gallup today at 38% and 35% respectively.
3. Mueller investigation going nowhere: Fact: For people close to a sitting president to be indicted at all is massive and will destroy Trump’s approval ratings and credibility further. And this happens tomorrow!
4. Trump will hold absolute power. Fact: He is 16 and 15 points down in the 2018 Fox and CNN generic ballot polls, on course to at least lose the house and be crippled!
5. The VA governor race is lost. Fact: Northam has a solid lead in the polling averages!
What’s going on? Trying to deflate dem turnout in next week’s vote? Turn us against each other? Brighten the GOP picture in 2018? Time to be friggging positive realists people!
