The media are digging into a dry hole, and they know it.

Maybe they are trying to find a glory hole. =D

Lindsey Graham wants Trump to renominate Kavanaugh if he doesn't get confirmed. Republicans are already facing a potential loss of house majority and Graham wants to pull this ***.

I don't know what Graham is trying to prove, seems like he made himself look like a fool and instead of walking it back, he's just doubling down.

Yeah, that's a great idea. I hope they go with that.

I don't know about this blue wave. The republican base is pretty angry and looked what happened in 2016 when that happened. I think many people are going to be surprised next month with republicans coming out on top. It also does not help the dems cause that liberal sites are saying that dems are going to crush republicans in November. That makes people stay how because they think others have it covered.

We shall see in 36 days.

NY Times article is blowing up, Trump tax fraud scheme.
State of New York is already investigating. It even made the top headline at Fox, though I'm sure it won't last long, they will make up a positive story soon enough.

HAHA. I quote fox to show something and you say it's a bad site, when it fits your narrative its a good site. You're to much Vic.

Oklahoma has always been a Bible state, no strong beer, no weed, etc. Both are now legal here after voting. Things have started to slowly sway in a liberal direction. I don't see Oklahoma turning blue but if the most ***-backwards state with the least liked governor is any indication, I wouldn't be surprised at all to see the house flipped.

Oklahoma is very behind the times.

Even CNN was reporting today that the generic ballot vote is tightening. I don't count chickens before they hatch, but I'll be doing some poll analysis in the coming weeks. I was right about the state polls in 2016, but I can't tell yet if my methods were actually right or if the whole thing was just an anomaly.

lol, whooshed.

When fox prints or airs something negative about Trump that's news in itself.

I feel like the left didn't take Trump seriously and that's how he won, completely ignoring the shortcomings of Hillary Clinton.

Bernie probably stood a better chance, Debbie Wasserman-Schultz *** the left.

There was no right choice in 2016.

If that's true, they don't seem to be learning from it.

Btw, you can't buy a car on Sunday in Oklahoma. Weird ***.

It took the FBI to allow Trump to narrowly squeak by, he is going to be the weakest incumbent ever in 2020. All the Dems have to do is take back Michigan and Pennsylvania. Two blue states go blue and he is out.

There isn't that much to say about it. I don't doubt for a second that there were some shady dealings, but I would say the same about practically any billionaire.

In any case, there is nothing criminally prosecutable. He might see some civil fines if they can actually prove any of this, but that's it.

Since when is tax evasion not prosecutable? Somebody tell Wesley Snipes.

Um, it's in the Times article that you linked.

It wouldn't surprise me if another Republican attempts to run against Trump.

There's be a strategic point to such an attempt; Trump is vulnerable if the house flips, another Republican probably won't be, Trump is a weak incumbent as you said, another Republican may not be, meaning three consecutive terms of Republican presidency is easier as an incumbent usually has an upper hand.

The obvious down side would be splitting the Republican base, that said you would also be doing so with the assumption that there are more actual Republican voters than Trumper/Tea Pertiers. Unlikely, but possible.

Even though they may not show it, the Republican senators know Trump is damaging the Republican party, they are just powerless to do anything unless you are Flake and not seeking reelection.

Whatever happens, 2020 will be an odd election. This is assuming Trump is still in office in 2020, Pence might have it easier.

I hear a lot of people claiming that Pence would be "worse than Trump". I have yet to hear anyone form a coherent reason as to why that would be.

Pence is a politician with some form of experience, I don't see how he could be worse. A politician acts to win reelection, Trump just does whatever he wants.

I don't think he would be worse than Trump, but his anti-gay stance is pathetic. I mean, did you see this today? US Halts visas for gay partners of diplomats Why did this happen? Hate.

The only GOPer that could run and actually win is Kasich.
