Trump has really stepped in it this time! It’s all over for him now!
And this time I really, really, really mean it!
/s ?
Don’t pay attention to The Shill!
His 2020 campaign is going to “implode” any day now.
Kind of hard to read past that.
They might have a point. Especially after Janus. State and local public employees, their families and friends, vote. And they tend to vote to keep their pension and bennies gravy train rolling.
Fear is a good motivator. I hope they always fear a loss because that will make them work harder. Besides the author is just selling his article based on nothing, as usual.
If the fires in California don’t tell people they need to change, there is no hope for it.
California will be a desert with a spectacular coast line.
Fifty percent, anemic??? That's the highest I can recall in the last 30 or so years. Perhaps the fault lies within the greedy, lying local politicians, and NOT the President.

List for GOP-e
1: Listen to voters instead of donors.
2: Show America where the Left wants to take America.
3: Stop listening to the Never Trump gang.
4: Rinse and Repeat
Anemic approval rating? He’s at his highest ever, and higher than President Obama at this point! Talk about Fake News!
“President Trumps anemic approval rating”
Since when is 50+% anemic?
In other stories from Alternate Universe News ...
You are so right.....they all said he could NEVER be president.
And given the party’s leftward free-fall, Democrat gains could pose a genuinely existential problem for our country.
What Trump does or does not do has little bearing on what happens in a State Legislative race.
Those tend to turn on local issues. Are the voters sick of driving on the potholed local highway every day? Did the legislature raise taxes? Is one of the candidates perving-out 14 year old girls at the mall? etc.
Sadly, with so many Republican tax-hikers out there at the state level, voter blowback is likely to work out negatively for the GOP.
Hillary actually won the election. Just ask her.
On the other hand...local politicians tend to know their districts better. They tend to not be too far off the center.
On the third hand, there's a certain...odor about the RAT party. The kooks are out, loud and proud.
On the fourth hand...there's Trump. For all the pearl clutching, for all the "He's Gauche!" protestations, he's governed exactly the way we would have hoped. The hard left is screaming, but people have jobs and the economy is humming along. The RATs are on the wrong side of public opinion on immigration.
All that, I think the House Repubs lose a few seats but I think the House is now "normally/naturally" Repub. Senate gains 3-5, and the entire side is more conservative than now.
Local elections are tough to call.
