Afflicted with reason
Remember that the 2018 mid term was very like the 2014 midterm, but mirrored. Also, Bill Clinton had a bad first mid term and good second one.

Remember that HW Bush just successfully executed a popular war and still lost. Jimmy Carter negotiated historic peace accords and still lost. Trump has done...? Oh right he had an unpopular tax cut and threw kids in cages.Remember that

How's that wall coming along, by the way? Has Mexico cut any checks yet?
Or the investigation into everything Hillary-ish, is she finally in jail yet?

the problem is that the US is not a majority-rule country and the 40% or so for whom this simply does not register are likely enough to deliver an EC victory for Trump.
I would submit that they need at least 8-10% more. And sticking a pin in Trump's "promises kept" line with commercials showing his biggest or at least showiest promises (Mexico paying for a wall, Hillary being jailed) with the result everyone except that 40% is aware of will help keep that from becoming more than 40%.
That aside...
I still think late October having McMaster, Mattis, Kelly, and Tillerson and any other high-level departures that don't need to preserve political viability and don't have any inherent R/D bias all pipe up and relate first-person specifics of Trump being a corrupt fool will deflate him enough to ensure he won't even come close to a win.
I do not share your optimism. I have little doubt that the Republican attack machine will be extremely effective in bringing Biden down to Trump's level in terms of competence and corruption.
Not a prayer. If Biden where anywhere near Trump's level of corruption six terms in the senate would have made him a billionaire ten times over, his kids would never have even considered military service or careers in the public sector, and we wouldn't be having this conversation.
One thing I dont think people consider is that there is unlikely to be a big showing by the Libertarian candidate... and I'm willing to bet a lot more of those will be voting R than D this time around
I'd wear a star spangled suit complete with stove pipe hat and out America his sorry butt
Campaign on health care and immigration.
At least it is unlikely that Rush will be part of the GOP war machine.
I don't know what to say except that I'm pretty sure the facts of the situation will have little to no relevance to how this plays out.
Well what proof do you have that he's not a space alien from Planet X?
