Let them think what they want, but the VA elections are not the final word on what’s ahead and are not a bell weather of the Trump administrations future. In fact, for those of you old enough like me, we’ve seen this before with our last great conservative president, Ronald Reagan. After he won, during that first year, things were bleak. He faced a unified media in opposition that painted him as an elderly buffoon capable only of reading someone else’s lines. Congress was in the hands of the dems and the economy was still in free fall from the horrible carter years. Most articles, newscasters and news programs vilified his supply side economic plan as worsening an already bad economy. It was ugly. But he stuck to his guns, kept plowing forward while ignoring the negative headwinds and little by little, the economy started turning around. By the middle of his second year, despite continued media and democrat opposition, people started to notice the recovery and Reagan was well on his way to an overwhelming re -election just over a year later. So, buck up you weak kneed conservatives and keep fighting the good fight. The last gasps of a dying animal can be quite violent, but in the end, we get to skin it and eat.
what surprised me though was a democrat won georgia-

unfortunately i am old enough to remember this- president bush the younger also faced massive msm attacks- they painted him as a buffoon and ‘dangerous cowboy’ as well- The left use the same dirty tactis they’ve used for decades- they are entriely predictable- and what Trump is facing now, republican presidents have faced i nthe past, as you point out- nothign new under the sun

It’s a little different country now- the usa has become a ‘gimmedat’ society now- and the candidate who promisses them ost ‘free stuff’ seems to be the ones that garner them ost attention nowadays- obama promised a lot- but when he didn’t deliver- the country tried the other party- I’m very concerned about the new ‘gimmedat’ society today- they are very very fickle- and don’t use reason any longer- Back i nthe days of reagan- people were, for the most part- hard working self reliant individuals who just wanted a good economy that would reward their hard work- things are much different today- the people want free stuff- Bernie is going to offer ‘free stuff’ - dems are gonna offer ‘free stuff’- and even if economy does get better- I’m not sure the people will appreciate it- and will just be lookin for the candidate who offers the most stuff- I hope I’m wrong-
