Politics NBC says "'Trump is Winning', but at what cost?"

Re: the "where do you get your news from" thread, I don't usually get it from NBC, but this headline caught my eye and it was a well-written and -referenced article. I'm interested in what you think of the premise:

Trump is winning — but are voters tired of it?
Analysis: President Donald Trump has racked up a series of policy victories. The question now is whether that helps his party at the polls next month — or hurts it.





A) Do you agree with the premise that Trump has made good on his campaign promises?
B) If so, do you think this will cause anyone who voted for him to not vote for him or his endorsed candidates?

Personally, I think that there are fewer people who voted for Trump in 2016 who are disgusted now and will vote Blue than there are people who didn't vote for Trump and will now vote Red. (I'm one, based on the FL races). But I'm in a swing state. That's why I'm asking the above questions.

I am much in line with your thinking. The Dems have done the GOP a favor.

I believe he carries more votes IF he continues at the same pace. If he gets Congress to work with him on the wall...my, my

Is Trump winning? I think he is certainly winning more now than he was a few months back. Will that translate to more votes, my intuition says no, but I don't really understand why you and so many people are so willing to accept a president that makes a mockery of decency. So I guess I just don't know.

I think perhaps we need to revise the old Ben Franklin quote to apply to our current administration.

"Those who would give up essential Humanity, to purchase a little temporary Prosperity, deserve neither Humanity nor Prosperity."

I do enjoy a good quote. Currently reading a book on WW1, there was a quote by Churchill about the Sec of War :Weak minded, like a feather pillow, retains the impression of the last person to sit on him."
