The "We Should Have a Midterms 2018 Discussion Thread" Thread

I know it's a fools gambit to decipher trumps tweets…but…

@realDonaldTrump

In all fairness, Nancy Pelosi deserves to be chosen Speaker of the House by the Democrats. If they give her a hard time, perhaps we will add some Republican votes. She has earned this great honor!

from april…but plays well this morning

Scott Walker Dismayed That Wisconsin Apparently Smarter Despite Cuts in Education
@Andy Borowitz

and Bugs has a good idea for Florida

First Democrat to come out as a border hawk would win in landslide.

But they would not get nomination…

This press conference is off the rails

Wow Tester held on!!!

This should seem like an easy question to find an answer to but what is the count in the Senate if we count Vermont and Maine's independents as Dems? Is it a 53-47 GOP lead or 54-46? I spent five minutes on CNN, 538, and Politico and cannot seem to find a simple answer.

Toots Hibbert prison number 54-46

The two Independents caucus with the Democrats and are considered as (D) in all the counts.  So it's 53-47.

Sessions has "resigned".

we all knew that he would be fired shortly after the election… don't think anything thought it would be that shortly.

rosenstein's up next.  CNN reporting he's on his way to the White House.  i suspect it isn't a social call.

Summoning the victim to the White House to be fired doesn't seem to be Trump's style. Having Kelly do the dirty work away from the White House is.

Oversight of Russia probe passes to Acting Attorney General Whitaker….


Kind of stinks….I get Mueller wanting to wait but he must have known this was possible

All I hope is that he has two copies of his paperwork and one is hidden
this has gone on for a really long time…

I think anyone who has been following along knew this was exactly what was going to happen. Including Mueller. Rumor has it Mueller is a smart guy and hence he must have a plan in place given the inevitability of this happening….

agreed that having someone else do the dirty work is on-brand for trump… but so is the whole theater of making the person come to you, sitting them down to state why they're being fired, etc.  AKA The Apprentice.

It’s going to be hard to get through the next two years….today was so depressing

Am thinking of trying to ignore politics for a while cause Trump just wears me out….it’s a constant nonstop freak show

You're such a drama queen.
