No one will challenge him if he runs again, and they'd have no reason to, he'd delivering on most of promises. The democrats primary challenged Jimmy Carter, because the country was falling apart. That's not happening now. Check your pay-stub and your pension investment returns.

They'll go bonkers of they don't take the house. They've gone all-in on this kind of mob-like campaign strategy, they literally have nothing left, if it doesn't work, the snowflakes will implode, and by that, I mean completely implode.

I love the announcement today that the Trump regime is going to release a mid income tax cut right before mid term elections in early November. It’s like throwing crumbs to the peasants.

and obama did what, exactly, that helped us more? those crumbs were $200 a month to me. that’s not crumbs. maybe to you, not to this peasant. if you’re so offended by it, can we assume you aren’t keeping your extra take home pay you got from the first gop tax cut?

If I thought for a second Trump was the only reason for my retirement plan rise 1 I would be a fool. 2nd It was already going up 0n 9\30 \15 had 106 k 10\22\18 I have 136k my contributions have never changed the only time i have lost money was last month .. So on paper Trump has changed nothing .. As for 200 buck a month From his Tax cut I know I am not seeing that ..
I have much higher expectations from any POTUS.. then what my retirement balance looks like..

congratulations, you’ve made the most economically illiterate post in the history of the internet.
trump changed nothing? the tax cuts, the elimination of regulations, amount to ‘nothing’? Apple saying they are adding 20,000 new jobs is nothing?

Trump has changed nothing for me he hasn't improved my life or my future or my children's..
when is apple going to create these jobs you throw out regularly??
this line fits you 100% "This story has been catnip for conservative fans of the GOP tax bill. "
you are following Trumps laser pointer over the caravan of people conservatives gotta have themselves a Bogeyman
Whats your take on this ?? US deficit rises 17% driven in large part by a sharp decline in corporate tax revenues after the Trump tax cuts took effect. how this fit in to you economically bias brain

How about the timing of 10,000 immigrants marching towards the border just before the elections? That's a coincidence? Or are 10,000 poor people being used as pawns?

Hopefully that statement is not based on your understanding of who has the right to vote, or is that state tv's message?

Scott, when I look at this party at the national level, and what I see here in CT...it's stupefying. Not only is it no longer the party of JFK, it's no longer even the party of Bill Clinton. I voted for Bill Clinton, and give him high marks on policy, low marks on his personal morals (sounds like Trump, doesn't it). Today, that party is unrecognizable as it marches further and further to the left. It wasn't that long ago, when it wasn't controversial to say "if you are a man, you should probably use the men's bathroom". Today, the democrats say I'm Archie Bunker for saying that.

Bill may have had some of the same issues we see many of the powerful men getting caught in, but he handed Bush Jr a balanced budget with a 236 billion surplus.
Bush Jr gave the rich a huge tax cut and launched wars handing Obama a 1.3 trillion annual budget.
Obama cut the annual Bush deficit down to 587 billion, which in light of the cards he was dealt was amazing. Now Trumps huge tax cuts for the rich just raised the 2019 deficit to 1 trillion.
What are the future generations going to be handed? The budget is a major issue in my mind, far more important, than making a campaign about stopping a couple thousand desperate soles fleeing the nightmare they used to call home.
I will wager a bet that the majority of those heading north would be harder workers than those lazy public workers I seeing texting or sipping coffee in their town DPW trucks. Those are also probably the very same class of people Trump hires to change the sheets and clean the toilets in the family hotels.

Because as a society we've evolved...Trump looks like he wants to reverse that. It's sad.

Some people are told stories in their childhood that are believed to be true, others are taught to lie.
It seems the Trump family has been lying about their ancestry for a couple of generations. Donald Trump himself claimed in his book Trump: The Art of the Deal from 1987 that his father came to America as a boy, having emigrated from Sweden.
But it's not true. At least not according to the biographies The Trumps: Three Generations That Built An Empire by Gwenda Blair, and The lost tycoon by Henry Hurt.
In their research into the Trump family, both author's have come to the conclusion that the Swedish origins was just a story invented by Trump's father. During the middle of the 19th century, Trump's true descent - German - was simply bad for business.
“In the 1940s, people, especially in the real estate industry in New York, didn't want to hear that somebody was German — so let's get rid of that. Let's be Swedish,” Gwenda Blair said in an inteview with Inside Edition.
According to the New York Times, Donald Trump even asked his father why he had to keep the lie going at the time of writing Trump: the Art of the Deal.
Henry Hurt writes that the reason for continuing the story was to not upset the Jewish tenants of Trump real estate, reports Aftonbladet.
The true story is that Trump's grandparents on his father's side came to America from the German town of Kallstadt in 1905. On his mother's side, Trump's ancestry is Scottish.
"I don't believe there's any Swedish ancestry whatsoever," biographer Gwenda Blair said.

I wouldn't say irony
more strategic than ironic
letting the people who can use the tax cut most know about the plan ahead of the mid-term elections is smart if congress is to be able to pass it, so as long as the Right controls, it should pass. I'm not sure why even Democrats would not want tax cuts but everyone makes choices.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Why don’t you focus your anger on the possibility of the gop screwing with your SoCal security or Medicare.... seems like that will effect you more than focusing on warrens ancestry

Anger??? What anger, I find the whole thing hysterical.
Although it does look like that triggered "someone"
and you brought up the irony of Timing, she pulled this stunt to make Trump look bad, and it back fired on her. She is now a punch line.
