If a politician has an R next to their name I’m voting for anyone else. I live in suburban Columbus, and the Republic lick-spittle wiener that represents me knows I can’t stand him, but I’m extending my Rejection to all things Rethuglican!

Trump is running scared. He is trying to deflect from his coming refusal to speak with Mueller. Trump is not the least bit concerned about his party or their chances in 2018, all he cares about is himself. Playing deflection games is the only way he has to soothe himself. Don’t be fooled, he is flailing and badly.

Republicans should know he can never stay “on script” for long. He just made the GOP’s situation worse and will continue to do so. Bring it, you fat loser.

Since we know you are only in it for yourself, keep it up. Pretty soon there will be no shade for you at all!

He’s the scorpion; being a giant bag of twice-used enema fluid is his nature. One step forward, six steps back…

Trump’s approval rating has crept back up above 40 percent in some recent surveys for the first time in months, and Democrats’ lead has shrunk to the mid-single digits in many recent generic congressional polls, possibly not enough for them to win the House.

I know it shouldn’t, but it still boggles my mind that once someone comes around to seeing DOTUS for what he really is, and the GOP for the DOTUS loving dotards they are, that the tax scam and a SOTU that wasn’t a complete disaster is all it takes to put them back in the “Approve” and “I’d vote for the GOP for Congress” columns.

I guess they sway with the winds of propaganda. Maybe they’re little donnies, completely convinced by whatever they last read, be it fox or CNN.

"Comstock’s comments are great fodder for her argument that she’ll break with Trump and stand up for her voters, and will likely give her a personal boost in 2018."

She backs Trump, nearly 97% of the time.

Just wait until Donnie’s deplorable base finally realizes that extra $ 1.50 a week really ain’t gonna go that far.

The guy is nuts.
He doesn’t give a damn how much damage he is doing; he actually thrives on damaging the country and us.
He loves this.

I’m not one to take the easiest of pot shots, but

I can’t speak for our great representatives here but I have a feeling they may agree with me.

This just is not a smart man.

Dems are overly optimistic, daca only affects a same number on NON americans. Out here in the real world, folks are worried about paying bills, keeping their credit good if gov shuts down, rising health ins/gas. I am sure that when dems do polling, daca is not high on the list of their voter’s concerns. Dems are losing on this issue, as they always have when it comes to illegals and "security.’ Dems fail to realize, they have to actually win the house and the senate, have real power, before they can do anything about daca.

Trump has mostly managed to stay out of his own way and stick to the script in the last few weeks, and that’s helped his party recover with independent voters.

Should they have just given up without a fight? Who will be blamed for this?

Flaming progressive. Hmmmm.

Most election years, the five percent who are insufficiently civic minded to pay any goddamn attention but too civic minded to do the right thing and not vote are dispositive. Right now, they’re basically irrelevant. They may all swing back to Donnie for a few days because they heard a thing, but all it does is take him from 35% to 40%.
