Trump rants on Twitter (again)

Trump is obsessed with himself.  There are all of these guilty pleas and convictions and he still claims it’s a witch hunt.  How can anybody think that now?

I wonder if he will try to suppress the Mueller report if it is finished before the 2018 elections.  He is laying the groundwork for it here by saying that Mueller and the Democrats are using it to hurt Republicans in the midterms.  I don’t put anything past him.

He also loves to retweet compliments about him.

Record number of female candidates

Mostly Democrats

Republican voters think the blue wave is “fake news”

Trump told them a red wave was coming.

 

Republicans can’t win on the issues – Trump’s terrible behavior, the tax cut that primarily helped rich people, and immigration policies that separated children from parents.

Instead (like Trump), they are making personal attacks on Democratic candidates.

From the article: “Republican electioneering groups, including the Congressional Leadership Fund “super PAC” and the National Republican Congressional Committee, have spent millions in recent weeks attacking Democratic candidates in intensely personal terms. The committees, along with some Republican candidates, have blasted one Democratic hopeful in New York for rap lyrics he once wrote; branded another, in Pennsylvania, as a “trust fund baby” and “tax dodger”; and aired commercials featuring veterans in wheelchairs to sow doubts about the patriotism of some Democratic nominees.”

There is no low Republicans won’t stoop to.

Then there’s this:

Koch Brothers will spend up to $400 million on the 2018 elections

The Koch brothers plan to spend up to $400 million on the 2018 elections.

This is legal but it shouldn’t be – nobody should be able to buy that much influence.

The only way we can get big money out of the elections is to get the Supreme Court Citizens United decision overturned.

At least they lost on donor secrecy.
