She failed to campaign in several key states after the convention. Her experts overestimated her chances. Trump had a good strategy to get to 270. His numbers aren't great. His job performance number is better than his personal approval numbers, and is better than it was earlier in the year. Clinton and Obama didn't have great numbers at times during their first terms. Two years is an eternity in this political environment. Why she lost doesn't really matter, at least for the purpose of this discussion. While I agree that we've entered a weird space-time continuum regarding political news these days (Manafort agreeing to cooperate was less than a month ago but feels like 5 years ago), the first 2020 primaries will happen in 16 months. That's a blink. The jobs numbers can't really get better. The only thing that would really help Trump's approval numbers would be if the investigation wraps up without touching him. He'll rally his base with racial tensions just like he did in 2016, but I think he'll have a hard time with independents in 2020 (they broke about evenly in 2016) and he's essentially dead to college educated women in the GOP. Bad luck thinks people who voted for DJT are morons but lauds those who vote for Warren and Blumenthal. Cannot make this stuff up.

Posted by DoctorKz on 10/9/2018 9:34:00 PM (view original):Independents disapprove of how Dems handled the Kavanaugh proceedings by a 28% margin. Trump's African American approval rating just went north of 35%. Your blue wave might not happen if Repubs vote down ballot as they did in 2016. Many close House races are in red districts. A Repub ad blitz is going to flood the airwaves between now and Election Day. Dems have spent a good portion of what they had, and aren't taking in anything close to what Repubs are receiving.

Democrats just outraised Republicans for the 7th straight month.
