 All the off cycle elections have been in republican districts. Democrats need to invest in those, but temper expectations. Regarding legislation, the only thing that has passed thus far is a budget through Q3 that funded Obamacare and Planned Parenthood. 3D Chess indeed.BS44325 said:
 My analytical hat? There was an election in Omaha last night...was supposed to be another big sign of the dems making inroads on account of Trump. Who won that race? Oh right. The republican. Again. When the dems show the ability to win a down ballot election I'll reconsider my analytic calculations. In the meantime I'll wait for evidence that his approval ratings are of any electoral significance that prevents the passing of legislation.mrussel1 said:
 Yeah and HIllary was only a few points above that.. so in an election of choices...well there's a choice. Your point is silly because when it comes to the POTUS being able to exert power over congress during a term, approval rating goes a long way.BS44325 said:
 Wow. That's almost as bad as Trump's quinnipiac unfavourables in Pennsylvania just before election day. He was 37% favourable and 60% unfavourable.mrussel1 said:

 I agree with most of this, his fans will follow him through thick and thin. But I don't think there is an expiry date on illegal financial dealings, whether he still has their support or not it's going to be hard to govern from the inside of a jail cell (as an extreme example).BS44325 said:
 On the contrary...I don't think he's an angel at all. Access Hollywood! Hello! My point is that his supporters do not give a shit. They never did and they never will. They think Trump firing Comey and meeting with the Russians the next day is fucking hilarious. I'm sorry but it's true. The most amazing thing Trump ever said is that he could walk down fifth avenue shooting people and his supporters wouldn't care. I wasn't so sure when he said it then but I totally believe it now. His skeletons are baked in the cake. He will be judged on results. Corruption will only be a problem if it occurs on the job.dignin said:

 I don't think you get it. I think he should have been gone long ago. But the timing of this is so clear that it's because of the Russia investigation. You certainly can see from a PR angle that this was awful timing. And then to meet with the Russian ambassador in the fashion that he did today? Who the hell is advising him on public relations?!? That's who should be fired. When you're trying to prove you're innocent DONT DO ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING A GUILTY MAN WOULD DO!!!

 Trump should just run this on a loop for the next week.
 Your boy Trump, even if he has nothing to do with Russia...which is highly unlikely....has so many people looking into his shit you know they are going to turn up some skeletons in his closet that will bury him.
 Unless you think he's an angel. All those years in business? I bet were looking at just the tip of the iceberg.

 Be nice if you put your analytical hat back on now and again. I know you have it but you've pretty much had it in the closet since the election.0

 And a repeal/replace bill through the house and a supreme court judge through the senate and not to mention every every bill he has signed under the Congressional Review Act. Here's a nice summary for you...it seems he is ahed if both Bush's so far.mrussel1 said:

 A repeal bill through the HOUSE.... One that has an approval rating below 20%. And then a bunch of other nitpick shit that doesn't have to go through the Senate. Okay.. super impressive there Chachie. And they had to kill the filibuster to get the SCOTUS pick through. Again, super impressive. Way to wield some serious political power there. Oh wait.. what about this little blurb in the article...Most of the bills signed by Trump are mostly noncontroversial measures like naming federal buildings, authorizing funds for NASA, encouraging women to enter science career paths and authorizing National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration weather forecasting programs.BS44325 said:

 Bush II didn't use an obscure tool to back out regulations and declare victory, like this article did. Bush I had a Democratic majority in both chambers.
 No repeal and replace
 No wall
 No Muslim ban
 No political juice

            See all you need is a rose garden ceremony and his blind supporters think the thing is already repealed and replaced. Give Trump some credit, he knows how dumb his supporters are.

 I don't think you're being fair. He's been very busy. Think of how much golfing and firing he has had to do. Not to mention all the money he has been making for the family. That has to count for something right?mrussel1 said:

            The SCOTUS thing as an accomplishment is another funny thing to me as well. Somebody died at the right time and R's control house and senate. That's it. What else was he gonna do? Not nominate someone? Hahawww.myspace.com0

 Trump is the New England Patriots of politics. Wins when everyone counted him out. Makes sense because he is GREAT FRIENDS with Brady and Belichick. Tremendous FRIENDS!
 Crazy correlation that both the Pats and Trump have been accused of cheating to win
