Gun policy could be their platform

Under normal circumstances,

if Democrats ran on gun control,

they'd be massacred

we'd even see Republicans get net gains

however,

this isn't a normal environment

Trump _OPENLY_ pushes for gun control

Republicans aren't as active on gun rights as Democrats are on gun control

When the leader of the GOP is not for gun rights,

and the GOP Congress doesn't stand up for gun rights,

the normal swing of gun owners voting Republican doesn't occur

so again, Trump needs to stop trying to appeal to Democrats and Republicans need to speak up

But,

it's possible neither gun policy or healthcare dominate the midterms,

in every election cycle,

midterm elections have always been a wave against the party in power,

except under two circumstances

Bill Clinton's second midterms

and George Bush's first midterms

there were extraordinary circumstances surrounding these events,

9/11

and Clinton's impeachment

Woah hold on a moment

9/11 saw Americans put their political differences aside and rally under Bush

it's how Bush won in 2004 despite everything else

December of 1998 was the impeachment, wasn't it?

Clinton's impeachment caused Democrats to not lose seats because he was actually popular

@FLanon and?

Wasn't that after the midterms?

I wouldn't really know the dynamics since I wasn't really around

Republicans were building it up

Republicans had been talking about impeaching Clinton since the second the Lewinsky scandal dropped

Anyways, I get it, we need something extraordinary to have net gains

As much as I hate to say it,

Immigration is not an important issue among ALL voters,

but it is among Republicans,

if Trump wants to maximize his base's turnout

he MUST implement the immigration agenda

he can forget about Independents,

Democrats,

it won't matter.

I feel that Republicans, especially Trump's base would be especially motivated by a justice move

Trump's base is 35% of the population

if 100% of them go out and vote,

it'll be a Republican victory, EASILY

Interesting for that bring up justice,

this is actually something I haven't thought about much,

because I don't think anything new regarding justice will occur,

but,

let's suppose,

Mueller exonerates Trump,

or Hillary is indicted

or both,

then boom, Red storm 2018

Mueller exonerating Trump would do absolutely nothing

Hillary indictment would cause red storm

But, it's all speculative.

Mueller declaring Trump is innocent would depress Democrat turnout

as well as shift Independents to Trump

I feel it'd be memory-holed.

Hillary in handcuffs however is unignorable.

Pulitzer shit there.

but

I'd wager nothing regarding Clinton will happen

Trump exoneration is most likely to happen

this is true

I think timing will matter

But that won't do anything in my opinion.

if Trump is exonerated in October

he'll win

but if Trump is exonerated today,

meh

won't matter

I can't believe it's possible to be more blackpilled than you on anything

TRUST me on this

I don't think a Mueller exoneration would have any effect, only Fox would report on it

A HUGE bulk of the population thinks Trump is dirty

Being confirmed this is not the case will be the death of the narrative slumping Trump in the polls

I don't know...

CUCK

I AM THE POLL KING

I'll take your word on it though

MY POLLS DONT LIE AHAHA

Also

public image matters

this might seem small,

but Trump,

for the love of GOD,

stop golfing

it makes you look like a rich douche

I mean, ya kinda are,

but voters elected you because they thought you were in touch with them

Why can't Trump travel to the Midwest or the South more often?

Yeah. People say that Trump golfs because it's where intelligence agencies can't hear his every word but it is destructive for public image

Especially when you consider how much he criticized Obama for it

actually go to the small towns that voted for him?

Stop at a pit stop diner maybe?

He should get a dog

It's a tradition
