Members Khan Posted December 14, 2017 Members Share Posted December 14, 2017 Exactly. Between their unpopular tax agenda and their defeats in both Virginia and Alabama, many within the GOP who rely on corporate donors might be hatching contingency plans should the 2018 midterm elections not turn out well for them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted December 14, 2017 Members Share Posted December 14, 2017 I just wonder how much of this wretched tax bill can be fixed the next time a Dem is in the White House. Even if we take Congress in 2018, Trump (or Pence or Hatch or who ever will be left standing) will just veto anything. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted December 14, 2017 Members Share Posted December 14, 2017 True. But, OTOH, since Trump is, well, Trump, I wouldn't put it past him to acquiesce to a Democrat-led Congress and claim publicly that he never loved the GOP anyway. Know what I mean? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted December 14, 2017 Members Share Posted December 14, 2017 A "Democratic tsunami" sounds awfully nice...but I am so worried about getting my hopes up. I mean, it LOOKS like the tide might turn next year against the GOP. But there's probably an equal chance of the GOP bouncing back somehow before then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted December 14, 2017 Members Share Posted December 14, 2017 He absolutely should. The democratic party overall should. Some of those long lines people where standing in reminded me once again how unfair things are. Charles Barkley was right that the democrats should be doing more for POC and poor white people. I also agree with you that the democratic party should probably give up on some people, poor white evangelicals in particular. If they want to live and die over the abortion issue I don't think anyone can stop them. Hopefully, Jane is right and more people will wake up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DramatistDreamer Posted December 14, 2017 Members Share Posted December 14, 2017 Susan Sarandon is getting her ass dragged all over Twitter. The catalyst? A "Thank You" tweet to African Americans for the special election results in Alabama. God, what a tone-deaf person she is! The sub-tweets are a scream though! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted December 15, 2017 Members Share Posted December 15, 2017 (edited) I'd guess he's more aware that he won't be able to keep his Speaker job for much longer. He may have a primary challenge but I think he could survive it as he hasn't angered the base the way Cantor and Boehner did. I don't think he'd last as Speaker much longer though. The so-called freedom caucus and their endless tantrums and power moves have made the Speaker's job a poisoned chalice and that will cause more and more problems in future.

Members Vee Posted December 15, 2017 Members Share Posted December 15, 2017 Rumor of the night, grain of salt: If a big story drops tomorrow, it may be about Ryan allegedly being implicated in illegal contributions from Russia. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
