Trump doubled down on the caravan, racism, and fear garbage to "help" Republicans in the midterms. It appears that this is backfiring, compared to him touting his (lackluster) accomplishments instead. He is motivating his base, but he is really really really motivating the rest of America to stop him. Remind you of anything?
Trump's casino failed. Instead of managing a casino like a pro, Trump made "gut" decisions based on pure arrogance, and stupidity. Any decent manager could have ran the Taj Majol better, but Trump will be Trump.
Bankruptcy....
By the time he bailed it was too late for even the pros to save it.
The Republicans bet their future on Trump.
Boom.....

(149,563 posts)Trump did not know the first fucking thing about gambling. He did not know how to play the games. He just wanted to strut around like a mogul.
He does not know the first fucking thing about presidentin' either. Let his strutting days soon be over. Let him walk away with his red tie dragging and his fat ass sagging.

There are a number of conservatives that want this because the current party has gone off the deep end with conspiracy theories and lies.

(51,582 posts)He will take the credit. If they lose he will blame Ryan and McConnell, the media and the Dems, blacks, Jews, women, immigrants, the weather, etc. He keeps the same scapegoats.

(1,288 posts)It's absurd to me that they benefitted from the massively overly partisan date rapist, but based on the polls, it did activate their base and gave them a bump in swing Senate races (ND, TN). But, for now I can maintain some faith in humanity that the R's have trended downward as Trump has amped up the fear/hate a'palooza. Now, it just needs to happen.
