Trump as FDR?
Infrastructure spending: FDR started WPA, which hired millions. That was something that Obama should have done. It's totally not needed now, since we are on the longest reduction in unemployment in history (most of which happened under Obama). Anyway, Trump hasn't done anything of the sort, and the only infrastructure spending has been plans to privatize things.
Nationalism: FDR brought us into WW2 and oversaw most of the victory that would lead us into a position of strength in the world. We have used relationships since then to keep us out of another big war, using a world order Trump calls globalism. Trump is tearing down that world order.
Focus on the economy? All presidents focus on the economy. If Trump achieved what Obama achieved, his supporters would be bragging on it all day long. Obama brought unemployment from around 10% down to 4.7% or so. Trump has taken it from 4.7% to 4.1%. Yet, Trump supporters say Obama sucked, and Trump is great. Lowest unemployment in years!!!!!!!!
Nationalism, infrastructure spending, trade protectionism, labor protections, and a focus on the economy would aptly characterize FDR’s Presidency. Sound familiar? Those are all things the Left decries daily about Trump!

The Leftist argument here is more about personal attacks and what they think most Americans want, versus the positive change being implemented. Who wouldn't want a stronger defense and border, lower taxes, less waste and welfare, stronger foreign policy, etc.? Isn't that what Trump is trying to do?
This is exactly what's wrong with the Left. They're so triggered about losing the election, that it blinds them from seeing what policies are actually getting implemented and the good that it's having on the country. It's really pathetic and very beta in nature.
"I can't wait until the Right loses and someone Left gets in office. Then we can really make ourselves weaker and bigger pussies, but then maybe everyone around the world will like us." You all are more worried about being liked, not being called racist, not being labeled greedy, etc., versus doing the right thing. You're probably the parent that gives their child whatever they want so that they won't hate you. Grow some balls.

The Democrats/Left have no message. I repeat, they have zero policy prescriptions to fix the country. Ever since November 2016, their entire platform is "obstruct Trump".
They ditched Dreamers, they ditched the working class, they ditched blacks. Everything has been Russia, Stormy Daniels. No one gives a shit about that. People care about paying their mortgage, having a job to do so, and having more money on their paycheck at the end of the month.
I don't give two shits about who pees where, or who marries who, or what color someone's skin is. I want my gay mexican friend to to have the right to get married, smoke weed, and to be able to protect his black atheist husband with an AR15.
Democrats are the same old socialist who eventually become communist that we've always known, and were responsible for 100,000,000 deaths in the 20th century. Fuck em.

Amen, Goran. I blame politicians and the media for corrupting the Left's minds so much and twisting their thought process and playing with their emotions. The media does it to the Right too, and I hate it when they do, but the Left is 1000x worse.

"There will be no blue wave."
So you picked a single url? How about a url that shows ALL of the polls together?
https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/congress-generic-ballot-polls/?ex_cid=rrpromo
You see, that is a chart which includes all existing polls and polling data. The trend has been un-changed more or less for over a year and the GOP has lagged behind an average of 5-6 points, which statistically is huge. But by all means- keep believing in what you want to. Maybe since you're so confident maybe just stay home.

Most of what you said was pretty much horse shit. I'm sorry but the GOP is the party that ran on a racist platform, chose a nasty lil' nest of racist, xenophobic dipshits to run, and after Trump won, he chose to fill his cabinet with folks who constantly get themselves into trouble on ethics. That members of his admin like the head of the EPA, the public education system and the FCC are ALL incredibly unpopular, and are in the news constantly where such folks were never placed in the limelight before shows that nope- the GOP doesn't give one rat's ass about anyone other than themselves and their corporate backers.
And you seem to think that the DNC being against Trump isn't much of a platform? When the president actively seeks to ruin the country on a daily basis it is indeed a very valid platform-albeit a temporary one - but more or less a platform built for the national emergency we now exist in with this joke of a president.

Read some history Feux. In the 30s and 40s, Democrats were the party of segregation, the KKK, and Jim Crow. Blacks began to hold their nose and vote Democrat due only to FDR’s social policies which included social safety nets. It wasn’t until the Republican majority pushed through the Civil Rights Act that Democrats decided to pivot, capitalize on the black vote, and win some elections.
When did those last two parts occur ?

You guys seem to enjoy behaving like most right wing nutters I've run into who are either genuinely dumb or play dumb when it comes to super obvious shit, like things Trump has literally and unquestionably done.
The very FIRST thing Trump did, on day one was to go on a big rant against Hispanics. You remember now? Where he called them drug dealers, rapists and whatnot? Yeah- sounds pretty racist to me, right?
Oh- and what about then having Steve Bannon run his campaign- a guy who has repeatedly gloated and bragged about the alt-right and is the favorite darling of various right wing hate groups?
And speaking of Bannon... remember when first he and then Trump decided they would support that mollestor down in Alabama?
Or what about when Trump sort of suggested that Nazis in that rally in NC were decent people?
Shall I go on or have I made the obvious facts you choose to ignore so glaringly clear?

People dont like being deceived. As they realize, one by one that the MSM is lying about Trump, his ratings will improve. This also gives him a bullet-proof coating against the MSM attacks, since every Trump supporter has realized the MSM is lying constantly.
His approval will rise as the FBI/CIA/Hillary collusion against him during 2016 election continues to come to light. They never thought they would lose, and have been fighting against the inevitable ever since.

It's not a shame, it's democracy, something leftists hate when they don't win elections.
Also, protecting the 2nd Amendment is respecting the Constitution.
It’s a shame that Republicans make the laws here in the States. If they respected our Constitution and Americans way of life

This poll was the most accurate for predicting election 2016. RCP averages in a lot of super questionable polls with extremely divergent results to get their number. GIGO!

Uh, it's called a Federal System. Some States decide they'll allow gambling, others do not.

And those representatives were democratically elected.

Yep, that selects representatives via Election.
Sorry you lost. Here's a suggestion, stop demonizing White Males.
There’s nothing democratic about allowing certain gambling in some places yet not in others. Smells more like crony Capitalism to me

Republicans holding legislation hostage that protects our country, unless they get to force their Prohibition rider onto it, is anti-democratic.

I'd rather just let the blue wave change your mind, that is, if it happens.
The most likely way it could manifest would be with higher turn out among democrats, based on disgust with Trump.
There will be no "Blue Wave", change my mind!

Yesterday former Bill Clinton advisor Dick Morris told radio host on New York's AM 970 that he believes the "blue wave" that Democrats are expecting to give them back the Senate and House will not materialize, and polling has backed him up.
Last week, CNN's mid term poll showed that Democrats only had a 3 point advantage, well within the margin of error, and considering that CNN is known for "oversampling" Democrats in its own polls, this is troubling for the DNC.
Additionally, a recent poll from Reuters (left leaning) has shown that Millennials are leaving the Democrat party in droves. Democrat membership in the 18-34 demographic (the bread and butter of the DNC) dropped 9% over the past 2 years, most of them becoming "independents".
"I think that [Democrats] see fool’s gold in these scandals," Morris said. "They’re putting everything behind the Stormy Daniels scandal and Michael Cohen … and the country doesn’t give a damn."
That's when Morris dropped his prediction.
"There is no blue wave coming," Morris exclaimed. "There is a red wave. And what makes it red is the blood of the Democratic Party."
Here's my official take. I believe the GOP will LOSE seats in the house but will not give it up to the DNC. I believe the GOP will GAIN seats in the senate, keeping their majority. This will mean that Trump will have both houses of congress for his entire term.
