webfact Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 'It's Trump's party now' and U.S. Republicans could pay in November By John Whitesides FILE PHOTO: U.S. Rep. Mark Sanford (R-SC) questions U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson on President Obama's executive action on immigration as Johnson testifies at a House Homeland Security Committee hearing on Capitol Hill in Washington, December 2, 2014. REUTERS/Jim Bourg/File Photo WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Representative Mark Sanford is the latest Republican to learn a tough lesson - challenging President Donald Trump can be political suicide. The South Carolina Republican congressman's upset loss on Tuesday to a primary opponent who questioned his commitment to Trump, along with a recent setback for Trump critic Martha Roby in Alabama and the Senate nomination of a controversial anti-establishment Trump supporter in Virginia, reinforced the degree to which loyalty to Trump has become a party litmus test. While fealty to the Republican president may be a requirement to win low-turnout Republican primaries dominated by conservative activists, it could prove a tougher sell against energized anti-Trump Democratic forces in midterm elections this fall. "A lot of Republicans who hid behind Trump's toga in the primary are going to pay a price in November," said veteran Republican consultant Rich Galen, a former aide to ex-U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Newt Gingrich. "It's the tyranny of small numbers," Galen added. "In a primary in an off year, a few votes make a difference. But the 35 percent that are Trump voters will represent a small minority in the general election." Democrats need to pick up 23 seats in the House and two seats in the Senate in the Nov. 6 elections to regain control of those chambers, allowing them to block Trump's agenda and possibly launch investigations or even impeachment of the president. While Trump is popular with Republicans, opinion polls show his general approval hovering in the low 40s percent overall. Many key political battles of the midterms will be fought in swing House districts and big battleground states where loyalty to Trump is not necessarily a badge of honour. "If those are the candidates we are nominating in swing districts - those who are pro-Trump first and foremost - that could cause problems in November," Republican strategist Doug Heye said. Trump's power among Republicans in nominating primaries was evident when Sanford lost just hours after Trump issued a tweet criticizing him and endorsing his opponent. The result is likely to be a cautionary tale for other Republicans considering questioning Trump's personal or policy choices, even when the president strays from long-held party principles on issues like free trade and federal debt. "It's Trump's party now. If you criticise the president, you will face the wrath of the Trump voter," said Republican strategist John Feehery, a former congressional aide. 'A CULTISH THING' Republican Senator Bob Corker, who declined to run for re-election in conservative Tennessee after tangling with Trump, said on Wednesday the party was now in "a strange place," and not a good one. "It’s becoming a cultish thing, isn’t it? And it’s not a good place for any party to end up with a cult-like situation as it relates to a president that happens to be of, purportedly, of the same party," Corker told reporters. Corker, whose efforts to block Trump on tariffs have been rejected by congressional party leaders, is not the only Republican to step aside. Arizona Senator Jeff Flake, a harsh critic of Trump, is retiring at the end of the year. In the House, more than 40 Republicans will not return next year, including Speaker Paul Ryan, with some citing the strain of partisan politics under Trump as a factor. In Alabama last week, Republican U.S. Representative Roby was forced into a runoff by voters angered that she dropped her support for Trump during the 2016 campaign after the "Access Hollywood" video surfaced showing him bragging about assaulting women. On Tuesday, Virginia Republicans rejected the party establishment to nominate pro-Trump Corey Stewart, an immigration hardliner and supporter of Confederate monuments whose aggressive campaign style recalls that of the president. He will challenge Democratic Senator Tim Kaine. While Kaine was already expected to have an easy ride to re-election, Republicans fear Stewart's harsh style could hurt other candidates by association, including endangered incumbent Representative Barbara Comstock, whose suburban Washington district is a top target for Democrats. Comstock got a surprisingly low 61 percent of the vote in her primary against a little-known challenger who attacked her willingness to criticise Trump. A brothel owner who calls himself "the Trump from Pahrump" even won the Republican nomination to the Nevada State Assembly. But in South Carolina, Republican Governor Henry McMaster, an early Trump supporter, was forced into a runoff later this month with a political novice, businessman John Warren. The governor has faced questions over corruption in state government. Trump's mostly winning touch in Republican primaries has not translated to general elections. He backed Roy Moore for Senate in Alabama and Ed Gillespie in the Virginia governor's race last year, as well as Rick Saccone in a Pennsylvania special House election earlier this year. They all lost. "Trump can flip a congressional primary given his strong support among Republican voters," said Texas-based Republican strategist Matt Mackowiak. "We will see if he can flip U.S. Senate races in red states this fall."

Popular Post spidermike007 Posted June 14, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 14, 2018 No more than 350 days to wait, until Trump steps down, if all goes well. Mueller is waiting and gathering alot of dirt, on el capo. The kingpin may end up facing jail time, impeachment or resignation as choices. Alot can happen in the next 6 months. More than likely the dems are going to take back control of the house. That is likely. My niece, who is a professor of political science and American history, and is very active within the democratic party, said she has never in her life seen the party more mobilized, and seen more excitement and enthusiasm and participation, among rank and file dems. Trump is bringing them out of the woodwork. Also, more than likely the American people will see that there was no substance behind the summit, and it was mostly for show. When they see that North Korea is not doing anything concrete, and that Trump gave away the store in exchange for that, due to his inability to negotiate a good deal for the US, combined with the penalty Americans will pay for the fractured relationship with our closest allies, which amount to a TAX HIKE on the average American due to the tariffs, enthusiasm may wane greatly. Trump is all pomp, and no substance. All talk, and no positive or beneficial action. The true definition of an empty suit. A real pussy. 3 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opl Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Here is how Trump used claims of ‘fake news’ to create his dangerous cult of fanatics " Trumpism is far from a benign cult, but rather the most dangerous and destabilizing movement in the world today. “letting the subjective entirely override the objective, [and] people thinking and acting as if opinions and feelings were just as true as facts” as being characteristic of American “magical thinking, anything-goes relativism, and belief in fanciful explanations, small and large fantasies that console or thrill or terrify us.” ” https://www.rawstory.com/2018/06/trump-used-claims-fake-news-create-dangerous-cult-fanatics/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may be true. And in my opinion the NRA is a terrorist organization, in that they support so much terror within the US. But Hillary was one of the worst candidates since Mike Dukakis. She was absolutely tone deaf, and suffered from a poor message, no party platform, a totally dysfunctional democratic party apparatus, severe hatred of her foundation, and the corruption that oozes from every pore of that filthy institution, and some really, really dumb things she said. Had Wasserman Schultz not been leading the party, that would have been another million votes for Hillary. She was a mafia pig. Had Hillary not made that completely ignorant statement about the deplorables, that would have been two to three million more votes. And had the party not treated Sanders like a pariah, that would have been another three million voters, willing to throw their support her way. That was the election right there. They made so many countless mistakes, it boggled the mind. Plus, there was no real message, Trump kept talking about the difficulties Americans were facing, and Hillary would not go there one iota. Neither would she address terrorism, for fear of offending some Muslims. She did everything wrong, and deserved to lose. As a life long democrat, I could not bring myself to vote for her. What does that say? However, in retrospect, had I known what a complete buffoon Trump would turn out to be, I not only would have voted for her, I would have volunteered some time to promote her.
