I've been vehemently consuming liberal media all day long and I've yet to be convinced the working poor and middle class paying less taxes is somehow a bad thing. Shit, most outlets aren't even trying to refute that point (they can't), they are just blatantly ignoring it and repeating the words "wealthy" "corporations" and "tax cuts" like a broken record.

Short term thinking.

Get back to us on that after your tax cuts expire and your tax goes up to more than it would have been without this bill.

Democrats lag GOP in fundraising despite anti-Trump energy
ByBill Barrow | AP January 31

The Republican National Committee raised $132.5 million in 2017 and ended the year with almost $39 million on hand and no debt. The Democratic committee took in $66 million and had $6.5 million in cash available, but also owed $6.1 million.

GOP gains on Dems in generic House ballot

In a look ahead to 2018, Democrats currently hold a negligible edge on the generic Congress ballot. If the election for House of Representatives were held today, 47% of registered voters say they would vote for or lean toward voting for the Democratic candidate in their district compared to 45% who would support the Republican. This marks a dramatic shift from last month, when Democrats held a 15 point advantage on the generic ballot (51% to 36%).

"The generic Congressional ballot is prone to bouncing around for a bit until the campaign really gets underway later this year. But Democrats who counted on riding public hostility toward the tax bill to retake the House may have to rethink that strategy," said Murray.
 
Who would have thought it! The general public is catching on way faster than the S2 gang.

If you are talking about that Monmouth poll, it now appears it was either an outlier or a high water mark.

How many different polls is barfo going to claim are outliers?

Poll: GOP gains on generic ballot, Trump approval ticks upward

Republicans have erased the Democratic advantage on the generic congressional ballot in a new POLITICO/Morning Consult poll that, for the first time since April, also shows President Donald Trump’s approval rating equaling the percentage of voters who disapprove of his job performance.

Fully 39 percent of registered voters say they would support the GOP candidate for Congress in their district, while 38 percent would back the Democratic candidate. Nearly a quarter of voters, 23 percent, are undecided.

So far, exactly 1. I'll note that I was responding to a poll on congressional job approval, you've posted trump approval polls. Different subject.

I posted a 2nd poll about generic congressional ballot. One I posted previously, that you claimed was an outlier, showed a much closer gap than a couple months ago. This second one shows republicans ahead by a point.

I'm curious about which Trump poll you claim is the outlier. The one with the (D) after it?

I didn't claim any Trump poll was an outlier.

Why do you think all of these Republicans, and especially committee chairman, are retiring?

They know the blue wave is coming and it won't be much fun not being in charge anymore.

They have their internal polls. If their polls indicated that they would be able to hold on to power, they wouldn't be quitting in droves.

Without actual term limits, republicans do retire. It's nothing new. Plus they make much more money as lobbyists or in private practice.
