There are lot of people out there,

2018-05-03 05:45:27 UTC  

who disapprove Trump solely on the basis of his character

2018-05-03 05:45:35 UTC  

He's not going to change

2018-05-03 05:45:37 UTC  

What did you expect LOL

2018-05-03 05:45:41 UTC  

Seriously!?

2018-05-03 05:45:45 UTC  

and it'll hurt him

2018-05-03 05:45:50 UTC  

It did

2018-05-03 05:46:44 UTC  

And he still won, so it's evident there are more people that care about policy than Trump's character because he was WORSE on the campaign trail and still flipped 4 states which haven't gone in red 30 years!

2018-05-03 05:48:02 UTC  

He would've done better

2018-05-03 05:48:19 UTC  

Trump isn't going to change, I think it's more important to focus on people we can influence.

2018-05-03 05:48:30 UTC  

Like what exactly

2018-05-03 05:48:34 UTC  

Tell our Representatives what matters

2018-05-03 05:48:38 UTC  

if we can't effect policy

2018-05-03 05:48:41 UTC  

what then

2018-05-03 05:48:43 UTC  

Vote Scalise as speaker

2018-05-03 05:48:44 UTC  

Is a start

2018-05-03 05:48:52 UTC  

Tell them to support Scalise over McCarthy

2018-05-03 05:49:15 UTC  

That's a sttart

2018-05-03 05:49:16 UTC  

I don't even want Scalise, I want Jim Jordan or Mark Meadows as speaker

2018-05-03 05:49:26 UTC  

We're a long way from that

2018-05-03 05:49:34 UTC  

It's a progression, we can get there

2018-05-03 05:49:42 UTC  

Ugh, fine

2018-05-03 05:51:34 UTC  

Look Button, I'm not trying to say you're wrong about everything.

2018-05-03 05:51:46 UTC  

You know you're stuff when you talk about what really should happen

2018-05-03 05:52:08 UTC  

But most of it isn't feasible yet, were still a small minority in the Republican Party

2018-05-03 05:54:28 UTC  

I agree with you, our chances for 2018 are terrible. On average the in the 1st midterm, the party in power loses 32 seats. So take that, on top of the average of 17 point swing in every district special election so far, and yeah our prospects are awful right now, we have absolutely not a single realistic advantage against the Democrats. The trends, the media, the public opinion, the narrative, and enthusiasm, all in Democratic favor.

2018-05-03 05:54:53 UTC  

And it's not going to get better,

2018-05-03 05:54:59 UTC  

at least in terms of demographics

2018-05-03 05:55:01 UTC  

Yeah that too.

2018-05-03 05:55:14 UTC  

we're not minority, and we'll never change

2018-05-03 05:55:31 UTC  

which is why we need to change things NOW while we still have numbers

2018-05-03 05:55:38 UTC  

we're rapidly declining

2018-05-03 05:55:50 UTC  

Well furthermore politically right now, we have a two decade opportunity to stack the Senate with republicans, and our chance is going to be wasted because of the current environment

2018-05-03 05:55:55 UTC  

you say feasible "yet"

2018-05-03 05:56:06 UTC  

Please, it'll only get harder from here on out

2018-05-03 05:56:13 UTC  

Yeah that's my point too.

2018-05-03 05:56:20 UTC  

But people don't know this stuff Button

2018-05-03 05:56:24 UTC  

They need to hear it

2018-05-03 05:56:39 UTC  

We need to get the republicans as a majority on board with us.

2018-05-03 05:56:51 UTC  

Most of them still believe the Neoconservative positions

2018-05-03 05:56:55 UTC  

That race doesn't matter
