Spiffster posted:How might I ask? Most of the senators up for reelection that are GOP are safe seats. Democrats are the only ones positioned for losing seats this time around. The only way I could see it actually impact is if the conservative AARP members actually decide to not vote because lord knows they will be caught dead voting democrat. Republicans need to expand their Senate majority in 2018 in order to have a reasonable chance of holding on to the Senate in 2020 (and they are likely losing a Republican seat in Nevada next year no matter what they do). If they don't take a single Democratic seat in 2018 then 2020 does not look good for them: 11 safe Democratic seats while Republicans have to defend 22 including some precarious positions in purple and even reliably blue states.  Colorado they're hosed, Collins might be retiring in Maine to run for governor. And it's not unheard of for Democrats to win statewide races in Montana, Louisiana, North Carolina, Iowa, West Virginia, and South Dakota.

I think they made it up so that they can claim that, when nothing happens, it was because Trump was such a tough guy at Syria. Who are you going to believe, Syria saying they weren't about to do a chemical weapons attack, or Donald John Trump, President Of The United States Of The Americas? Checkmate, liberals. He's a strong daddy, he's my strong daddy, and now you will admit that this Russia stuff is a hoax!

It's just far less than fun, especially with young republicans - some are genuine psychopaths, but most aren't evil people, they just suck at being empathetic. It's fascinating and honestly inspires sympathy in me, to see them in such a disarmed state.

In 2015, McMullin became the chief policy director of the House Republican Conference under Chairwoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-Wash.)

Remember when we were all so sure Trump wouldn't literally fire James Comey, in fact it really wasn't seriously discussed as something that might ever happen and then POW he did it. Our brains are not equipped to so much as imagine things as stupid as the ones Trump will do between now and midterms.

Got a long way to go and the only thing we can count on is Trump exceeding expectations in shittiness.
