President Trump’s Unpopularity Sinking The Republican Party
Three weeks have now passed since the congressional midterms were held. We are going to give it to you straight we Republicans are in big trouble! It’s YUGE! We have lost 7 governorships, 393 state legislative seats and 7 state legislative chambers since 2017. Not to mention 40 U.S. House seats. Orange County, California once the bedrock of Republicanism on the West Coast is now trending Democratic. The GOP went from having all 4 congressional seats that were part of Orange County to having none after this election. Orange County voted for the Democratic Presidential Candidate in 2016. The first time in 80 years the GOP’s Presidential nominee lost Orange County. Here in Indiana we lost our first state senate seat in 20 years as well as 3 state house seats. Our friend Paul Ogden has more on the results here in Indiana over at his blog today.
Gallup has President Trump’s disapproval rating at 60%. The President has yet to have his approval rating climb into the 50 percentage range or higher even once in his almost two years in office. All over the country the GOP has lost ground in the suburbs. Not just in the suburbs of Chicago, New York and Los Angeles. But we lost seats in Texas, Florida, South Carolina, Georgia, Kansas and we even lost a congressional seats in Oklahoma and Mia Love’s seat in Utah. Utah by the way is so hostile to Democrats that Hillary Clinton almost came in third to Evan McMullin in 2016. To assert as many of our fellow Republicans do that Trump was not a factor in this is at best willful blindness and at worst being delusional.
The President did nothing to discourage misconceptions about why so many House Republicans lost.
Morning after the midterms Trump proceeded to chide by name republicans who lost by saying they didn’t embrace him enough. Basically Trump was in essence saying: “Those idiots, If only they had listened to ME! They didn’t build the wall fast enough!” This should lay to rest any doubts as to whether or not Trump can learn from his mistakes. If there is to be any chance of us avoiding a long stay in the political wilderness the party must run someone other than Donald Trump in 2020. There is no chance at all that Trump will become more Presidential or that Mike Pence will get a spine. Trump and Pence cannot and are not worthy of being saved. The only thing to be down is to go tell Donald Trump and his toady Mike Pence to go f__k themselves. It’s time to return to the ideals of the greatest republicans past and present, current and former, living and dead, Pro and Anti-Trump. Men and women like: Abe Lincoln, Chester Arthur, Teddy Roosevelt, Calvin Coolidge, Dwight Eisenhower, Barry Goldwater, Margret Chase Smith, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, Charles Percy, Susan B. Anthony, Mia Love, Gary Welsh, Paul Ogden, Charlie White, Rex Early, Christine Scales, Susan Wright, Fredrick Douglas, Charlie Sykes, Sarah Rumpf, Nikki Haley and many others.

UPDATE: Just found this discussion on the midterms and the 2020 elections:
As i mention over on Ogden, I think the surge in suburban Dems is really inner city dems leaving the dumpster fires that were their former cities (Orange Co - Los Angeles, Hamilton County - Indy, DuPage Co - Chicago, etc) and voting for the same idiots who started the fires and burned down the inner cities in the first place. Because people can be that stupid.
We are certain that some part of the surge of suburban democrats is the result of democrats moving away from the city’s. But we will still say that Trump has accelerated the move of suburban voters to the democrats. It would be interesting if we could find some polling data on this. Thanks for stopping by. We hope to hear from you again.
Not only is it correct. But it is the greatest, most insightful, most accurate political analysis ever! PERIOD! PERIOD! Oh you might want to look at this post again. We have posted an interesting overview of the midterms and 2020 elections by Bill Kristol and Ronald Brownstein.
