Congress Snuck New Russia Sanctions Into Spending Bill - Page 2

His base hates the bill, nothing but negative comments about it over at breitbart. If Trump signs it, this will be the first time he goes against his base? I don't see it happening.

veto this garbage!

He lost quite a few (or pissed off quite a few non-voters) looking at the current left-swing in 2017 and 2018 Special elections:

CA-34: +18
KS-04: +23
MT-AL: +15
GA-06: +6
SC-05: +16
UT-03: +3
AL-Senate: +30
PA-18: +20

All above except CA-34 are normally safe R seats. There is 130 seats to the left of PA-18 that are held by republicans. Democrats need 25 to take house. Another bellweather to watch out for is AZ-08, PVI R+13, carried by Trump by 21 points. If this one flips then AZ senate will flip, as will whole bunch of other stuff.


There's one thing to consider about the electorate. True swing voters are relatively rare. You hear about those Obama-Trump and Romney-Clinton voters but in all reality they're a tiny minority. Electorate swings as a whole by who comes in to vote and who stays home or writes in Mickey Mouse*.

* - Might think I'm joking but 22k people wrote in candidates for Alabama Special. Doug Jones won that election by a little over 20k votes. Democrats actually ran a targeted ad campaign against likely republicans who didn't really want to vote for Moore as to how to write in some Football Coach in instead. Hillary also lost MI and WI by fewer votes than Jill Stein got.

I don't think he'll veto the bill, but I'll be glad if I have to eat my words.

But his base hates us more than the Omnibus...

Based on what? Your feelings?

Majority of Trump supporters favor DACA.

Putin please save us, you are our only hope. Please order Trump to veto the bill and use DACA as a cover, we might get something at the end.

Don't worry if DACA+Wall bill passes he'll take a few steps to the right and veto it too. Might as well make a wheel of excuses. The reason why Trump can derail talks is because he can always run to the right when given an offer and make that the new goal for him, and then pack his crayons and go golfing if people tell him to fuck off.

This guy...

I like your response sir, shows you have class
