How Trump and Putin Lost the Midterms
- samketchup 4y agoAs a resident of Maricopa county, I sure don't feel like a winner.
- ZeroGravitas 4y agoFeels weird [edit: for Republicans] to blame Trump for abortion related voter reactions. Out of all the crazy Republican issues he pandered to that seemed the one he cared the least about.
- bediger4000 4y agoTrump did successfully get 3 conservative Supreme Court Justices on the bench. Overturning Roe v. Wade (despite at least 2 of the 3 claiming during testimony that it was settled law) wouldn't have happened without them. Trump's got to share that blame.
- ZeroGravitas 4y agoI meant from the perspective of the fellow Republicans who appear to be turning on him, like Murdoch and the WSJ, using the lack of a red wave as part of their narrative. I've been hoping that Trump destroys the Republican party since he announced his original run, so I may just be not wanting him to get kicked out too easily before he gets a chance to really mess up the next election for them.
- kccoder 4y agoHe nominated three SC justices who voted to overturn roe v wade. I'm sure he didn't personally handpick those justices, but they, and their decisions, will continue to be attributed to him.
