So yes if low voter turnout and no swing to the democrats is happening in Claifornia, then by all means Democrats should be worried they wont get that swing in other states in Nov, including Florida. 3) The gas hike (state tax) issue is particular to California, but again its partly reflects the loss of contact Democrats have had with the working/middle class. Who thought it would be a good idea to raise taxs in the state which is already the most expensive state to live in , and not have a backlash at the polls. Going by the low turnout and no major evidence of a swing, Dems seem have lost touch with the electorate, working and middle class in California and potentially no doubt in other states also, is that a national trend. Could we be moving from a blue-tide recovery in November to a potential red-tide sweep to further embolden Trump and the Republican party. Some commentators are talking of a red-sweep.. And if Mueller doesnt deliver on the witch hunt then it may well come to pass. And the Democrats dont seem to have a plan B, they put all their eggs in Plan A - Mueller investigation.

Pardoning Sheriff Joe Arpaio, Dinesh D'Souza and Scooter Libby, anti Trump media blows a fuse, there will be a few more, the media will push for a end to this and Trump will next come out and say OK i won’t do it any more. (he will still have commutation) Do you see what is happening? Can even most dullest of blades cut through the anti Trump BS and see what is coming down the pipe line? Hint what has Mueller and the top people around Trump got in common.

He simply doesn't care for the office he holds or the people he serves. The damage he is doing to the office he holds will take a generation to repair.

Typical of anti trump lies, Publish front page of paper a BS story, and retract the next day in a small paragraph on page 26.
Captain Obvious wrote: » He is trying to say that Trump is playing chess and that he is getting the media to say things about justice needing to be done so when allegations are made against left wing people the media will have to also support their prosecution. What he and most Trump supporters fail to see is that conspiracy theories like Pizzagate and Uranium One or outright lies like Spygate are not actually supported by anything concrete like the clear corruption within Trumps family and administration. What he and his people also don't understand is that nobody will be bothered if Clinton is indicted on some conspiracy charges if actual evidence is there to support it. She is not an "emperorgod". She is not even relevant to most people other than Trump supporters.
dublinbuster wrote: » Trump "i will drain the swamp" basic tactics Trump says certain things to get the reaction he wants from the media, the media are full on the war path that justice must be done, there can be no interference, those who broke the law must be punished, no if ands or buts. He has baited the media now with presidential pardons, watch as the media responds as Trump wants, the media are going to push hard that Trump should not issue pardons, Trump will "reluctantly" agree.

Christy42 wrote: » Link to a retraction of the above? Rhetorical question I don't expect you to actually give evidence of anything. Previous posters following the same tactics haven't. I wonder if you are more annoying to those who are more sympathetic to the Republican cause given they likely don't want to be associated with these ramblings. Speaking of retractions has Trump retracted his lies about the Eagles yet?
