I don’t think it’s an either or proposition. We just can’t demand too much too quick especially going into a presidential election year.
I expect even without such a move next summer is going to probably be the most violent we’ve seen since the early seventies.
Let’s get him reelected and if the dem’s want to burn it down going into election day they can own it and he’ll have even more moral authority and political will within the country to do something about it.
I agree with the re-election strategy part, but the meter is running now so with Trumps second term I expect a lot more drastic changes if he succeeds in next November’s elections!
Can you imagine what will happen if say a Warren or Harris is elected?
I expect we’ll see it.
First we had to get all of these cases adjudicated that the dem’s have been filing to keep him hamstrung.
Get control back of the house and grow the lead in the Senate, get Trump reelected and it’ll be a whole new game.
I hope you are right and I agree! Can you create a new thread on this topic, first by listing the names and districts they represent that are up for re-election in 2020?
Looks like 12 of them.
Cory Booker of New Jersey
Christopher Coons of Delaware
Richard “Dick” Durbin of Illinois
Doug Jones of Alabama
Ed Markey of Massachusetts
Jeff Merkley of Oregon
Gary Peters of Michigan
Jack Reed of Rhode Island
Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire
Tina Smith of Minnesota
At a glance I’d say probably three to four are vulnerable even without any sort of scandals between now and then.
Which ones do you think are vulnerable?
Coons, Jones, Shaheen, Smith, and Reed I think could all be vulnerable this time around if things go right next year. I would not be surprised to see 2-3 of them lose their seats if the Republicans can come up with some decent candidates to run.
What about Booker? If he is concurrently running for President doesn’t that make his seat vulnerable?
Doubtful, he’s awfully popular at home.
You mean this?
Well that’s a pretty dramatic turnaround. I’m for cutting off all federal funding to sanctuary cities and states.
True to the democratic platform !
Socialist democratics care more about importing illegals then seeing American citizens enjoy the fruits of life in America !

Flowers’ father, said it’s the second son he’s lost to violence.
Where was all of the outrage in the media? Oh, they were too busy focusing on one shooter in El Paso because it helps their narrative despite the absolute chaos that’s been occuring in Chicago for at least a decade, which is under Democrat control.
Fine, cut off the Chicago PD from all federal resources and cease all federal funds going to Chicago.
If these mayors and governors want to pretend they aren’t part of the US fine, let them feel it.
Why not "encourage " imprisoned hackers to hack the database. I’m sure there could be a deal " they couldn’t refuse ".
The former incompetent Mayor of Chicago allowed uncontrolled gun crimes to occur. President Trump would face increased accusations of racism , riots in the streets and lawyers lined up to work pro bono against him. The Leftists would have his picture aside of Lester Madox, George Wallace and Strom Thurmond.
