Democratic Enthusiasm Is High
September 21, 2018 at 10:58 am EDT By Taegan Goddard83 Comments
A new Reuters/Ipsos poll finds that 9% more Democrats say they will likely vote in this year’s midterm elections than did in the same poll in 2014, while 3% fewer Republicans said they would vote in 2018 than said so in 2014.
The Hill: “The greatest source of strength for Democrats in the poll came from left-leaning older women, nearly 20% of whom say they are more enthusiastic about voting this year than in the previous poll.”

Fake news. Always remember Mrs. Clinton is POTUS.

I'm not convinced it is Putin, though. I think the ruling elite want the Yankee empire gutted because their debt load has become a detriment and they are grooming China and/or Russia to take over as the world police.
I think you should brush up on your Cantonese Wally.

A new NBC News/Marist poll in Florida finds Sen. Bill Nelson (D) just ahead of Gov. Rick Scott (R) in the U.S. Senate race, 48% to 45% among likely voters.

In the race for governor, Andrew Gillum (D) is ahead of Ron DeSantis (R), 48% to 43%.

Said pollster Lee Miringoff: “The political environment in Florida, overall, is tipping in the Democrats’ favor.”

..and today , almost 200 County leaders LAUGHED AT TRUMPNOT with him.......AT him.
THAT spoke volumes.. Can't wait to see Trumps Twitter ugly rant about it.
Trump supporters must have a high tolerance for embarrassment and stupidity.
Most Trump supporters are so delusional and stupid that they believe the Trump line that all of those leaders were really laughing at Obama and that Trump's presidency is the greatest world triumph since the leadership of Augustus Caesar.

The Dems. will not win the Senate by campaigning on roll back the Tax cuts
Since the tax cuts were for the rich only, they could if they sold it properly ... The Rich pay less and YOU carry more of the burden, instead.

The Hillbillies aren't very bright, though.

In Canada yes I pay more now than before the middle class tax cuts, in the US no I don't pay taxes their at all. The company I work for pay a boat load of taxes there though

The Middle Class are being taxed out of existence in both countries. The old "trickle down" thing still lingers inspite of it being long since debunked (even by Milton Friedman!) but tax cuts continue to go to the high earners. Not much of anything is trickling down. A thousand Middle Class people will spend more on consumer goods than one billionaire does, so their extra money is not necessarily going towards generating more wealth in the economy ... not in this country, anyway.

Like I said, the rich are plundering and sacking the US. It will be a third world country by the time the Trump admin is finished with it.... or

I know personally any money I save goes into home and business improvements, which puts money in others pockets.
