so basically things are like they were before the election after six months of the Trump surreality show..week after week we are told about how Trump just had his worst week yet.. how he might even resign or be impeached..drama drama drama..he made this mistake that mistake and the other mistake... how can this go on? can it go on? It can't go on!..he's going down.....polls tell us his approval rating (just like his favorability rating was before the election) is at "historical lows"...he is dragging down the entire Republican Party we're told.. they won't be able to hold the house (before)/we'll take over the house in the midterms (now).... and yet, just like with the general election the Republicans are winning...they've won the four elections we've seen since the general... and newsflash to those who conveniently choose to blame Hillary Clinton for Trump's win in 2016.. Hillary has not been on the ballot in any of those ...yet we've lost them all..even ones where democrats pumped in a ton of money (just like democratic supporters did with Hillary who outspent Trump by large amounts) yet on the democratic side there is this widespread perception that he can't possibly be reelected... many think he can't even make it to the general election..many argue it won't even matter cause he will be impeached long before... by a Republican controlled Senate? That is just not going to happen...
My belief is that the democratic party is too focused on certain issues that simply do not resonate with large swathes of the American electorate.. for example, standing up for the rights of illegal immigrants is a LOSER..there are other similar issues that while I happen to agree with the democratic party simply do not carry weight with a majority of the American people..we can argue about why that is but it is what it is...I think the democratic party needs more focus on issues that are not related to discrimination, the rights of illegal immigrants, the environment, etc etc.. of course these issues are critical but if the perception is that they are our bread and butter issues and all we talk about we will keep losing while Trump continues to tell people he is the number one jobs creator ever made by God... and if we focus on a daily basis on this meeting between someone in the Trump campaign and the Russians we will also lose... people just don't care or i should say, we need some people who don't care about those issues to find a reason to vote D.... if we want to do something.. what WE want about racism, discrimination, immigration, the environment, Russia.. then we have to win elections and those issues are LOSERs by themselves... ....unfortunately..it is not enough...Hillary relying on those issues plus "He's crazy!" even with vast more amounts of money was not enough...I don't think it will be enough in the future either..barring some calamity which I hope does not come to pass it is highly likely that Trump will be reelected..
