Within the past few days, never-Trumper David Brooks praised President Trump. "Saturday Night Live" admitted that he'd had a good week. Willie Brown told Democrats to "stop bashing" Trump. And party officials bemoaned the liberal media's obsession with Trump scandals. It must seem to Democrats as if they woke up in Superman's Bizarro World.
Meanwhile, the latest CNN poll shows Democrats with a meager 3-point advantage on the generic ballot question. The Reuters/Ipsos poll has Democrats up by only one point, and the Real Clear Politics average is +5, down from +13 in December. Trump's approval rating has been steadily, if slowly, rising since December, going from an average 37% approval to over 43% now.
The Washington Post reported on Monday that Democrats are now fretting about "a shifting political landscape" and an energized GOP base.
In fact, Democrats are starting to complain that the press is too focused on Trump scandals and not paying enough attention to "issues," and that this could hurt them in November.
"Eager to move a message that focuses on things like minimum wage hikes and health care premiums," the Daily Beast reported on Monday, "they have been overtaken by a steady stream of stories of Russia meddling, porn star payoffs, and shady Trump-world figures."
Democrats fear, the story goes on, that "a perception is taking hold that the party is obsessively focused on a Russia-collusion message above all else."

President Trump is the KING DAVID of the 21st Century AD!
Pols on both sides are freaking out because POTUS is DOING things, not just talking. It’s astounding! Mr. Trump is making them all look like the sloths they are!
Love the tank and the caption on the barrel!
Please tell me that is not a photo-shop....
Could you imagine the liberal heads exploding if that thing was real and was the lead vehicle in the military parade Trump wants.

Id say a 4th of July parade is deserved this year if things go right in Korea!
It’s a skin on or a Photoshop of a tank in the game World Of Tanks. It’s an M48 Patton tank.
The last sentence explains the change in Dems’ rhetoric this week:
“...So you are not going to win back the House by making it all about [Trump].”
Yep. The coffers are empty. Their voters are turned off. Finally dawned on them that Trump fights harder, smarter, better than them.
Now where would we ever get that idea? It isn't just that, though, it's that The Resistance is so reflexively anti-Trump that it allows Trump to define the entire debate, issue by issue, and the Dems' only response is "we don't want that." In military terms this is ceding the initiative to one's opponent. The term for people who do that is "Loser".
they have no issues or positions, socialist job programs gun confiscation and trump hate is no a party platforum!
and the ‘Resistance’ is becoming further and further left to get attention and alienating 2018 voters...
I wonder why? It's not like that's all we've been hearing for the last year and a half.
I wonder if the late night comics will give up as well, Jimmy Kimmel all but surrendered over the weekend
“the press is too focused on Trump scandals and not paying enough attention to “issues,”’

I was team Trump the second i saw him go down the escalator.
I KNEW he would win, watched ALL of the rally’s.
Thank You Lord!
