It’s wise. Trump was actually receiving decent approval from moderates until the market took a hit last week. Interesting timing right?

For the most part, independents who went trump are somewhat regretting their decision at least to a point. Enough that they’re leaning dem now. I really think you’ll see a huge blue rally in November. This is just how these things go. But being the anti-trump party is effective, for now.

“Damn those racist Pres Obama voters it’s their fault orange man bad”

More lefty messaging

Yeah, I think anti-Trump is a viable strategy. For now. But it won't be come 2020. At that point the Democrats will actually have to start putting forward some ideas if they want to beat an incumbent with a strong economy. Of course, if the economy tanks, Trump is gone.

But was the Republicans' 2010, 2012, and 2014 strategies really that much different than the Democrats' strategy for these midterms? The GOP was reflexively anti-Obama during that time period, and that's pretty much it. Mitch McConnell famously said the party's number one goal was to make Obama a one-term president. He once filibustered his own bill because Obama supported it.

while i tend to agree they MIGHT need strong policy proposals to beat Trump in 2020, i recognize that a pure anti-trump platform COULD beat trump. I'd give it maybe a 20% chance of working, pure unadulterated non-constructive criticism of Trump and insults. Could work.

Yeah, 20% is fair. But that's approaching the baseline chance of winning that both major parties probably have in the average presidential election before accounting for anything else. So, not really moving the needle.

It is great every time I see something like this. Always talking about the way I type LOL.
They also get all prim and proper with their punctuation and grammar when they say it to, to reinforce their point LOL

Liberals even believe in rights for Oompa Loompas.

It DOES show a level of intelligence.

in my head i actually think the strategy a slight boost over the "natural" chance to win, but you're right that that's about the natural chance. incumbents dont get unseated often, the economy is soaring, and stumbles like the Kavanaugh movement have deflated their enthusiasm edge a bit.

The locals in my state are running on a purely negative ticket. There have been a bunch of property crimes and assaults, but It'll probably work anyway.

Bob Menendez is accused of dicking underage prostitutes in Dom Republic using tax dollars and he's still leading 6 points.
