    Note this is the New York Times reporting this, not a Conservative site

    Adam Schiffs factless carnival like Impeachment has demonstrated to the country just how sleezy and hate filled the democrat party is. That they will go to any low to get thier way and that the truth means nothing to the liberal media.


    The NY Times published an interesting story today that must be causing some heartburn in Democratic circles. The point of the piece is simple: Democrats who were inspired by the party’s solid showing in 2018 should prepare for disappointment. A sliver of voters in swing states who turned out for Democrats last year plan to still vote for Trump

    Nearly two-thirds of voters in six battleground states who voted for President Trump in 2016 — but for Democratic congressional candidates in 2018 — say they intend to back the president against each of his top rivals, according to recent polling by The New York Times Upshot/Siena College.

    The results suggest that the party’s winning formula in last year’s midterms may not be so easy to replicate in a presidential election.

    Hilarious spin!

    That article means that Trump has LOST the support of 1/3 of voters who voted for him in 2016, but for Dems in 2018.

    If Trump looses 1/3 of the swing voters who voted for him in 2016, which is what your linked article is saying, then Trump probably does not carry the counties that gave him the Electoral College win. I don’t think this article is the good news you think it is.

    The article says that libs are probably rooting for an economic downturn, I agree, and I think it will be soon. There are too many indicators of a looming recession and i hope we get it soon enough to do Trump in rather than after he is reelected and can use it as an excuse for draconian measures like ending Medicare and Social Security.

    I don't think they'll be any way of knowing how the election will go until after its all said and done.
