With help of the complicit media?
Other than interest rates and their affect on the National Debt most everything is going great. Yesterday tech took a nosedive. But everywhere the fundamentals are great: record unemployment, record consumer confidence, wage increases in a long time, GDP growth not seen in decades, gas prices down, the list of wins is incredible. Again other than interest rates one could say there's no more upside.
And yet the Republicans had significant loses in the House despite fantastic economic news. The only thing I can point to is the non-stop droning of the media about "fake news." Some guy is killed in a Saudi Embassy and you'd think President Trump shot a black kid at the Superbowl at mid-field. A small number of kids might have been separated from their alleged parents just like during the Obama administration and you'd think this country was having a moral crisis while abortion at 9 months goes unchallenged. Some woman makes an wholly unsubstantiated allegation about what happened nearly 40 years and the Senate goes ape shit. The Dems taunting "open borders" as a solution to "illegal immigration."
OK, I get why the Republicans lost seats in California and NY. They knew that was going to happen when they passed the Tax Bill and Californians couldn't take their state income tax off. But the losses in Houston are difficult to take. Basically all the local judges and other elected officials got wiped out through party votes.
I think the Dems race to the ditch started happening last week. Their solution: impeach Trump. They had two years and found nothing. It's time the media felt pressured and started holding the themselves and the Dems accountable.
