Will Trump pivot and become Democrats' "best friend",
and will Democrats fall for it?

(1,201 posts)If they get chummy with Trump, we need to remind them that the rule of law is more important than anything else. No wimpy "Impeachment is off the table" and "move forward" BS!
That position has worked so well!

(56,829 posts)If Democrats can hold even in the Senate, it should be considered a huge win, as they are up against what has been called the worst map in the history of Senate elections.
However, the House is definitely a possibility with all the GOP retirements and the bigly anti-Trump surge we've seen in special elections. (Plus, if the Pennsylvania map holds, that's probably a 2-4 seat pickup right there) - flip 1/3 of the GOP retirement seats, flip another 10-15 GOP seats in blue states and add in those 2, 3 or 4 seats in PA and you have Democrats at over 220 seats already - and that doesn't count a few surprise victories that can happen in Wave elections or maybe more than 1/3 of the GOP retirement seats go blue?

if Democrats can win back the senate, I would hope they block every Trump judicial nominee. Payback for Merrick Garland.

Trump and the Koch-fueled GOP are the perfect storm of cruel stupidity. A Democratic Party that can't win back Congress under 2018 is either unable or unwilling.
Powerful forces are arrayed against our party, and I'm afraid we are hamstrung.
