Mid-Morning Open Thread
Auguste Toulmouche Dear President Trump, Please start your reelection campaign this morning. While I am pleased with your accomplishments, and the possibility of another (or two!) Supreme Court appointment along with a sea change in the rest of the Federal judiciary fills me with glee, The possibility of a Democrat victory in 2020 is one that is too terrible to contemplate. The midterms are always difficult, and you survived last night in reasonably good shape...certainly better than your last several predecessors. Fortunately I have no campaign advice to give you, and I base that decision on the reality that if I had been giving you advice in 2016, this morning we would be halfway through a Hillary Clinton presidential term. I do however have some comments. Your instincts with real Americans are marvelous; if you could make personal contact with every voter I have no doubt that your reelection would be a sure and wondrous thing. But your enemies are entrenched everywhere, and their only mission is to manipulate your message. And what is that message? MAGA? Of course, but your work with the economy -- in particular regulation -- has paid dividends that are carefully minimized and hidden and even credited to others. As a vile but clever political operative once said, "It's the economy, stupid!" And yes, the majority of America wants that wall built and illegal immigration stopped. How to send that message without giving daily soundbites to the whores of the media is a difficult task, and one that I believe you can accomplish. Our standing in the world has always been a difficult one to manage. As long as you support our friends and project strength, the American people will trust you, because the truth is that they don't really care what French academics or Canadian SJWs or British MPs think of us. Keep our sons out of unnecessary conflicts and we will trust you with the rest. Most of all, always remember who your enemies are. The elites of the Acela corridor gave their friends the Democrats victory last night. Does anyone really believe that a united Republican party would have lost that many seats? Bipartisanship should be a dirty word in the mouths of all Republicans. It is the President...you!...who makes the decision to accommodate the opposing party. It is not the purview of some back-bencher with delusions of grandeur. Bind your allies in Congress to you with hoops of steel, and punish those who would defy you. If a purge is necessary, then do it with alacrity! The American people reward decisiveness. And most of all? Do what you promised. Good things will flow from that! Cheers,
CBD

One lesson I don't think the Dems have learned is this: They may try to do term limits, congressional veto, etc. but they fail to realize that when they lose power, these measures remain and WILL be used against them. We've seen it with the SCOTUS votes, etc.

You may be right. The truth is, the Kavanaugh/Graham thing really ticks me off. Graham was all for comity and bipartisanship until a *personal friend* was unfairly targeted. It tells us who his "tribe" is.
Not his base or conservatives in general, they had been physically and socially attacked for over a decade and he couldn't care less. Not other R members of congress, Scalise was nearly killed in an assassination attempt targeting his party and it changed nothing for him. Not even other R senators, since the attack on Rand Paul didn't change his opinions or actions. No, it was a (vile, and wildly unjust, but not actually *life* threatening like the others) social attack on a fellow Bushy and life-long DC dweller that finally got him upset enough to question his assumptions. In the final analysis, The Swamp is Graham's tribe and I resent that.

763 [Long sigh] Well, that didn't go as well as I had hoped. I'm generally depressed these days but this is really a downer. Some takeaways:
1. Zod is correct about the city/rural divide, and it's only going to get worse.
2. The constant screaming about Trump Bad Man To Women worked. Women turned out bigly and it hurt bad.
3. People like some aspects of ObamaCare. Not having a replacement for it hurt more than we probably realize.
4. If a RINO runs against The Donald in 2020--and Jockstrap Romney is just the cuck to do it--it will damage him enough to make victory in the general election impossible.
I'm not sure the Trump phenomenon is sustainable. I think we are becoming a socialist nation and Trump was just a pause. Somebody please tell me I'm wrong.

I've seen pics of Pelosi at college age. She was cute -- as was Hillary, if you didn't mind the scowl, lack of makeup, and (I've heard) refusal to shave her legs or underarms.
Age and insanity have rotted their brains, and have rotted their exteriors, too.

Hillary Clinton will never be president of the United States.
We fared far better than the typical midterms.
Judges.
Trump can use the Obama mandate and pen and phone everything. (Seriously, just crowd source the friggen wall.)
Long term the country is in serious trouble (we really need to take back the schools,) but MAGA is a movement that's still driving forward. Campaign for 2020 starts now.

There are a lot of different ways to play this over the next two years. Obviously, would have preferred GOP retain the House. But you play the hand you are dealt, and from an electoral perspective, having Pelosi and Watters as a foil for Trump and the GOP may be beneficial.

If we had kept the house it would have been much, much harder for Trump to get re-elected in 2020.
If we had lost the senate it would have ended Trump's march through history in Supreme Court nominations.
Lastly, if I know Democrats, they will overplay their hand and make 2020 more of an opportunity than it otherwise would have been.
I'm not going to cry about last night...I'm going to spend the remainder of Trump's rock-hard, orgasmic economy making as much money as I can.

I may be overly optimistic, but hear me out. Should the Dems start in on going after Trump; perhaps even impeaching him in the House - that'll be the extent of their accomplishments between now and 2020 - obstruction.This could make 2020 quite sporty for Republicans (not GOPe).

Honestly, the government's tentacles and penetration in privatized healthcare makes it virtually impossible to ever reform it to have the free market approach work.
Socialized medicine will mean poorer care, longer waits and absolute greater death counts/panels, but F* it, it's what everyone apparently wants and the people have spoken.

3. People like some aspects of ObamaCare. Not having a replacement for it hurt more than we probably realize.
We were once known for having the very best health system in the world using a system that was operated mostly by the private sector. Costs were low and efficiency was generally far better than other nation's government-run systems. But as our government intervened, the quality of care went down proportionally.
We knew what worked, but somebody destroyed that because progress or something.

1. Fl gov race - The Dems REALLY wanted that one and poured a lot of $ into it. Lost
2. We in Florida got the most conservative governor we've had in my lifetime AND a Trump backer to boot. DeSantis will get to appoint 3 state supreme court justices. Plus the state house and senate are also in GOP hands, so 2020 redistricting will be much better than it would have been under Gillum (blech). Maybe we can even purge the voter rolls of the dead and transplants who vote in 2 states with no fear of retribution
3. FL senate race - Nelson: GONE after 40 years in government here.
4. GA gov - Abrams is toast. She and her followers are the only ones who refuse to recognize it. Sorry toots.
5. at least 4 R Senate pickups. Clarence Thomas can step down if he wants to retire, Trump can appoint who he wants, and we have some breathing room on the confirmation. And between Cocoaine Mitch and PDT, we can ram through the confirmation of dozens of judges who will be around for YEARS to come.

Posted by: It's me donna at November 07, 2018 09:52 AM (O2RFr)
My Congresscritter,Ann Wagner, got 51% yesterday, which is an extraordinarily low total for this area. Best explanation I can give is that a lot of people are really really fed up with the R Congress, and she's about as insider as it gets.
So my point being, I don't think some of these razor thin margins represent enthusiasm on the left, as much as it was dead tired lack of it on the right. People stayed home. That's my guess as to how so many of these races went the way they did.
Two years from now will look extraordinarily different from this year. I'm not smart enough to know how, I just don't think this result represents anything like a trend. Even the R's winning a bunch of Senate seats. It only means what it does, this time.

I wrote that badly. People hear that the GOP wants to repeal OCare; people like that OCare covers preexisting conditions; there's no GOP replacement that helps with that; people think the GOP wants to take away coverage for preexisting conditions. Dems saw that gap and ran on it, and people bought it.

Part of me feels the DeepState has indeed blocked Trump, since there coup managed to get them two years without real border control, and a delay of prosecution of the REAL Russia/Hillary/DNC/FBI criminals. As Trump said ... he doesn't have an AG ... as Attkisson has said, it seemed DeepState arranged the control of the AG from the start.
A major coup, our DeepState involved in stopping the election of TRump, then their insurance policy to handcuff him after ... their anti-American op is still in progress ... and they got their Dem control of the House. ... Still some hope, maybe we get a real AG and Mueller and the CoupCompany get indicted themselves?

But the Kavanaugh debacle showed just how important having the Senate is, because judge confirmation is a behind the scenes transaction. The Ds despicable behavior brought the SC and more importantly, confirmations - into the spotlight.

How effective are rallies, canvassing, calling vs social media/MSM? Trump had large rallies, but that's because he's the President.
Social media and the networks are able and willing to censor ads, censor content, promote #FakeNews, delete accounts, shadowban, etc. Also, social media is more cost effective relative to canvassing. I think finding alternative platforms should be prioritized.

There should be no doubt after 2008 that of course States will be bailed out when the time comes. They printed $10 trillion to give to banks, there will be no limit to what they'll give to states. There isn't even a legal mechanism for states to declare bankruptcy (yet).

way to truly celebrate the veterans of the congregation. Most churches
just play the various service hymns and have veterans and active duty
stand. If they recognize veterans at all- our old Lutheran church did
nothing. It was disappointing, especially since there were so many
veterans in the congregation.

Thanks. I must say, I serve on a committee that pushed for better recognition of Veterans' Day bigly. Our pastor has always been meh about it, but I and several others refused to back down.
We lost a dear man last year who fought in the Battle of Okinawa, and a very good friend of ours who is 95, came ashore on D-Day at Omaha Beach. Our son is the only member who served in A-stan or Iraq.

Let's look at it this way: Getting rid of GOPe Never Trumpers in the house was a painful thing that had to be done, and the price will be the Dems on display in all their finest idiocy.
And I think winning the FL gov race carries so much more consequences for 2020 than everyone has yet to grasp. A swing state with the 3rd highest # of electoral votes, a conservative Trumper for governor and a GOP state house and senate, who will redistrict the state accordingly in 2 years. And just might purge the registered voter lists of fraud. And who will have 3 new state supreme court judges who most likely won't prevent this.
Don't think Trump and his team haven't thought about a lot of this.

We discussed it yesterday or the day before, so forgive me for posting the number again, but it's important.

One hundred and seven thousand.
That's how many people, out of 300 million, signed up for Obama's pre-existing condition plan when they opened it up around 2010. 107K.
And most of those people COULD have gotten insurance. They just didn't want to pay what it cost.
The genius of it is that it plays on everyones fears. Oh no, what if I can't get insurance because I develop high blood pressure! I'd better pay $200/month more now so I don't have to pay $7/month more in twenty years!

Years ago Ace said that one of the problems with retaking Congress so fast (2010) was that we didn't have time to purge it of the guys who lost it for us in the first place. Finally we may have purged a good chunk of RINOs and GOPe symps. The good news is that the Dems now face a similar problem.

"In 2010, the Obama Administration estimated that 375,000 people would enroll in the PCIP. But as of January 2013, over two-and-a-half years since the plan began, only 107,139 were enrolled - less than 29 percent of original projections."

All precincts in AZ have not yet reported (don't ask me WTH they're doing, probably looking for some more Dim votes), but with 99% in, the current totals are
McSally: 850,043

So unless something hinky happens, McSally should win.

Here in Colorado, 'we' elected an openly gay governor (Jared Polis), who wants to install a 'single payer' health care system.
The Democrat he replaced (John Hickenlooper) will, I predict, run for president.
Problem is that Hickenlooper seems reasonable.
Colorado is exactly what happens when everybody leaves California.

Investigations and impeachment!! So? Impeachment can't go any farther than the house. Investigations are useless.
The house was ruled by nevrrtrump. Ryno Ryan refused to move anything on Trumps agenda including a normal budget. Dem house does the same thing. Big deal. Most repub losses were nevrrtrump. Big deal.
This was a reset election. Give the seat to the Dem let the voters see the crazy on full display, and run a good conservative in 2 years. We get the house back minus a bunch of rino scum, dems get spanked and The Donald abides.

Let's be honest. They needed to go. They supported funding planned parenthood. They do not support building the wall. They advanced the tax cuts with no regard to limit spending. They are loyal Paul Ryan/John Boehner lieutenants.
While Cruz ended up in a much closer race than I thought he would he still won and he took a lot of bullets for several senators that did not have as much money going against them because it flowed to Texas.

Insurers can not deny pre-existing conditions but that would have to be a buy-up by the insured and the amount the insurance companies can charge will be limited.
Solves the problem adds market based elements and is fair and equitable.

Which position would you like to be in today?
a) GOP's
b) Demo's
c) NeverTrumper's
There are reasons to be pessimistic and worry, but there always are. What I suggest is do what you can to shut off the money flowing to those you disagree with--even if it means giving up some things you like. Why did Beto have millions in Texas? Why was Demo fundraising so good?
Above all, stop supporting the media that gives "in kind" donations through the coverage not only of prog candidates but prog ideas.
One of the reasons I think so many are pessimistic is that they let the media (who they know is full of it on ideas) influence them on the news.
I never watched a single talking head yesterday (liberal or conservative). I just looked at numbers and results. After 2016 do you still think those people have a better handle on things than you can figure out for yourself?
I sometimes read political opinions, and I'll watch the actual politicians and candidates. But heck if I need to listen to or watch people who are essentially hired as entertainers to help me understand what's going on in the country.

One, tribalism is alive and well and the civic nationalism ideal is dying as a consequence along with the republic. When voting becomes separated from policy consequences (good or ill) but focuses instead on identity, then struggle over control of government to take and distribute benefits and apply the costs to the losers of political contests becomes paramount. Investment then becomes a sucker's game because the gains can be easily taken. Thus, a flight to wealth conservation and greater concern with hiding it rather than investment. In this case, its the economy stupid no longer applies as does the scandal quotient (see Menendez and Ellison as examples).
Two, we are in the process of morphing into an incompetent empire. Both federalism and the separated institutions still provide some bulwarks to tyranny but the coming paralysis of government action means that critical long term policymaking is impossible. This affects things like the government debt and unsustainable entitlement spending, foreign and military policy, corruption in government and its institutions, combating use of internet tech to prevent privatizing social control of individuals, and immigration.
This will have consequences and I see similar exhaustion throughout the West. The risk is that historically the internal weakness of a particular civilization becomes viewed as opportunity for hostile states and barbarians to loot and plunder.

In short order, just like the crazy dog that chases every car in sight, the 'rats have latched onto the bumper of Trump's limo. The 'rats DID NOT gain control of the Senate, this is *not* a minor factor. With every new Trump judge, the judiciary slips from Left's grasp.
Now comes the good part...the 'rats have managed to elect toxic, unlovable socialists, and I seriously doubt that 'comity' will return. And I'll remind everybody, the 'rats have NO message other than Orange Man Bad.
Get settled in for a two year shitshow where every major setback handed to the Left will drive them even wilder. And yes, I predict that the mob-swarm tactic will not be abandoned... it will go into double-down mode.

The propagandists have convinced more and more that it's not so bad. But, a republic lasts until people learn--and become accustomed to--voting themselves money out of the treasury.
But, a white guy said that, so it's a white idea. Look at all these diverse countries where they are not so hung up about voting themselves money out to the treasury. It's racist to want to insist on white ideas over diverse ideas in all those countries people are fleeing as economic refugees.

•The House endless investigating the WH: Legitimate because it's been long needed.
•The executive merely talking about investigating the legislative is a violation of the separation of powers--and WHAT'S DICTATOR HITLER-TRUMP DOING WITH A DOJ?!!!!!

Ben Shapiro, in the same breath* says that the dog whistle accusation is garbage and that Trump has dog whistled.
Also, that he is quick to admit he is wrong. Ben Shapiro DESTROYS my reluctance to shout back at my podcasts.

Re: The Wall.
I'm thinking that Trump only needs to declare a long, thin bit of land along the southern border as the Rio Grande National Monument. He doesn't need Congress for that, as Chocolate Fonzie proved when he was trying to screw the energy industry.
Once it's a NM, defending it should be a lot easier, to preserve the natural beauty of the land from those who would trample all over it on the trek north, littering it with trash.

GOP has a tougher Senate slate in 2020 because of more incumbents being up, but having 54 or 55 probably means it'll take a wave election to give the Dems the Senate, and Trump being up ballot should prevent that.
If we only end up needing like 10 pickups to re-take the House, I expect that to be easily done with some Trump momentum driving voter turnout.

I don't think it's just arguing for the sake of arguing. Saying he wants Pelosi to be Speaker throws a monkey wrench into the Dem's calculations about who they want as Speaker. If Trump is for it, they'll oppose it. He's setting up a fight in Dem ranks.
