Looks Like Everything Is Falling Apart On Trump.....

Just saw the market down 950+ points. He's being taken to task as a racist and white nationalist. China is retaliating on the tariffs. NK is firing missiles. Repugs are retiring from the House in droves.

When will Mitch and Putin abandon Trump?

He'll never abandon TrumPutin - he knows the consequences would be dire. Kompromat will be released. Roubles will dry up. He'll have to go back to Beijing.

3 years into a presidency, the policies shape the country. When the results are bad, people don't like what they see, and they suffer the consequences. They change their minds. So as you point out maybe there is reason for hope.

I agree. Once Wall Street figures out just how dangerous Trump is to their bottom-line, the GOP will suddenly discover that they can't tolerate his dozens of impeachable offenses.

Although Putin and widespread GOP corruption makes it a little bit more difficult to predict.

Its going to get a lot worse for him when the NY AG exposes the crimes they have on him , and proof of everything , and he knows its coming. I fear he'll have someone (russians or mafia) go after her and others that'll expose him. He probably has had putin's intel spying on them for him. Its about to get real very soon.

trying to push his way through the protesters? He is now "working from home" to keep screwing us all. The old saying is that by the time we are 50 years old, we have the face we have earned. Obviously, Moscow Mitch has been into some very nasty stuff for a very long time. All the money he has scammed will be cold comfort to him when he is reviled and mocked every place he shows up.

Now such once-"unpresidented" idiocy is an everyday occurrence.

Texas + Ohio = Toledo? I guess in Trumpy's squishy little turdbrain, that's "close enough." It must be tormenting him to pretend to oppose bigotry and white-supremo hate all of a sudden, but I guess Vlad ordered him to provide the chan cretins with some (im)plausible deniability. Tomorrow he'll be smirking again as he says something preposterously racist.

Wreaking havoc with western economies and governments to the benefit of special friends of Vlad et al who plan to own what's left after the dust clears. Special friends are those with enormous financial interests such as the Saudi Royals, Mercers, Kochs and Russian oligarchs-to-be-named-later among others in the 0.001%.

They're COUNTING on him! Everything is going according to plan. Once America is wrecked, they and their henchmen will sweep in, collect the pieces, and build themselves a nice, comfy fascist regime and 1%ers' paradise--low wages, fungible workers, no unions, no education (except for the elite few), no democracy, no taxes, no social safety net, nothing to interrupt their steady flow of profits.

to abandon him. Putin has succeeded whether or not Trump is impeached. At this point Mitch has nowhere else to go. He's painted himself into the wrong corner, and that corner is located in Moscow.

He's still in the White House. Still at 40%+ approval.

And it's not just Trump that has to be defeated. Too many Republican majorities and chief executives across the country.

The stakes couldn't be higher. Polls aren't votes.

When his own supporters turn on him, then everything will be falling apart. His supporters don't care about the market, the white nationalism, the racism, the anti-women stuff, whether things will be more expensive due to China tariffs and they welcome DJT talking to Lil Kim. They want the wall and want to send certain people home.

The average lean Republican supporter come election day will think "am I OK with the things the way they are in my own life'? If they are then they're going to vote for Trump.

Trump will do much much better in the general election than we think.

They used to ask, "Am I doing better than four years ago? Will my kids have a brighter future than I did?" Their hate-on has forced them to lower their standards to, "Am I okay with life as it is?"

They are being played by the 1% (& have been for many decades) & aren't even aware of it.

So I guess I disagree. I wish I could be optimistic, but the deck is stacked severely against us, with all the election shenanigans. They are playing for keeps. We're going to need massive turnout & margins to win.
