Trump warns of dire consequences if Democrats take House
Source: AP
WASHINGTON (AP) President Donald Trump warned Tuesday night of dire consequences should Democrats take the House in this year's midterm elections, but predicted Republicans are "going to win."
Speaking at the National Republican Congressional Committee's annual March fundraiser, Trump said that, "on issue after issue," House Democrats are "way outside of the American mainstream."
"Democrats like to campaign as moderates, but they always govern like radicals," he said, warning that, if they win, Democrats will block efforts to secure the borders, "release dangerous criminals," and try to raise Americans' taxes, among other ills.
He also vowed to campaign tirelessly to help GOP candidates win, telling a room full of Republican party leaders and donors, "I'll be all over the country."

That's not communism in any way. If anything, Putin is a criminally corrupted capitalist.

Trump told the crowd he hadn't thought the issue was "a big deal," until he got a call from a friend in the oil business after the GOP tax bill passed in December.
"Is it true that you have ANWR in the bill?'" Trump recalled the friend asking. "I said: 'I don't know. Who cares? What is that? What does that mean?' ... What's the big deal if they did put it in?'"
Trump said the friend told him that "every single president" including Ronald Reagan had tried but failed to get it.
"I said, 'You've got to be kidding, I love it now.' And after that, we fought like hell to get ANWR."

By the way, for one, I hope he will keep doing what he says.

(112,125 posts)As I reflect over the Trump presidency thus far I've come to the conclusion that I'm having a flashback to a bad acid trip that never has an end. I strive to avoid any coverage of Trump on TV because it increases my blood pressure.

I thought that this is something that would happen as a "how did we get here" flashback in some dystopian themed movie.

(64,995 posts). . .for the sake of the lurking drones who might be reading:
The total vote numbers for ALL members of Congress show that more people voted for a democrat than a republican in the last 16 years. Even when R's took a majority, more PEOPLE still voted for D's than R's. That is true of both the Senate and the House.
So, it is IMPOSSIBLE for these people to be outside the mainstream if more PEOPLE actually vote for them than the other side. Literally impossible.
