Desperate Democrats Are Already Borrowing One of Trump's Favorite Slogans Ahead of Midterms [W:76]

Even if you were to make campaign contributions illegal it would simply push it underground. As long as politicians will be interfering in the market there will always be those that try to sway politicians in order to give them an edge.

You could pass a law that states that any politician taking money from any group would be ineligible to vote on anything regarding said group and end campaign contributions instantly. I'm pretty sure you won't find more than 3 politicians that would vote for that.

I guess I would need what exactly you mean by impact the markets. They obviously do but in which ways do you think they should have a hands off approach? The world we live in is much more different than it was in 1776 or even 1950. The govt deregulating and staying out of markets also has negative impacts. Deregulation of the banking/financial industry has completely changed that sector. Id argue for the worse in a lot of ways. Changing how anti-trust is applied (a more hands off approach) has led to more market conventration and less competition.

As for the the politicians, Americans dont really ask for campaign finance. If there was as much pressure on them as abortion, SS, gun rights etc. No big money special interest is campaigning on that issue.0

The scandals you reference are probably the ones that are about to boomerang back on the Dems.

Trump has time and again shown that he's about 10 moves ahead of his attackers.

Watching Comey, Clapper and Brennan twist themselves into pretzels is the funniest thing I've seen in politics in a long time.

What ever happened to that whole colluuuuusion thingy anyway?

I think his point is that he would prefer the ALL AMERICANS be united in love for the country. Reasonable debate in a proper and appropriate forum is encouraged.

The purpose of the thumb in the eye protest venue was to aggravate and offend. If ol' Colin was serious about providing a remedy to what it was that wandered through his brain when it did, he'd have used pulpit that his position afforded him to relay a thought.

Instead, he decided to piss on the flag and piss people off.

Mission accomplished!

There are plenty of issues for Democrats to run on. People like the OP need these biased articles that reenforce their own confirmation bias. Among the issues are:

  • Health care -- and how the GOP Congress has acted to throw millions of Americans off insurance, raise the premiums and have the government pay more.
  • Attacks on Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security -- before the ink was dry on the GOP tax-cut on the rich, GOP leaders were planning to reduce these programs to pay for the cuts.
  • Capping SALT deductions in blue states -- Blue states have many Republican Congressfolk. They are located mostly in wealthy areas that are mostly effected by dropping SALT. Demographically, there are many swing states.
  • Net Neutrality -- having these rules are very popular and the GOP is on the wrong side.
  • Corruption -- the party that said it was draining the swamp, against pay to play, etc. are the epitome of these. The Trump Admin is essentially a criminal enterprise.

All of these are Dem talking points.

Any actual events in the real world that provide a reason for your concern?

Would Net Neutrality impede the repeated attacks by Facebook on conservative sites?

The Swamp is the intractable power of unelected pencil necks throwing their weight around empowered by regulations understood by nobody.

Trump is taking their weapons out of their hands.

A good example is in the Book "Cardiac Arrest" recounting the story of the Pencil necks harassing an American Citizen and his company for 5 years costing him $25 million in court costs.

When it FINALLY came to trial, the government did not call even one, single witness. This is travesty and there should be criminal liability for the pencil necks.

Obama is the new Nixon... incredible he beat out the Clintons for the title!

Time is on our side; the deep state may try to slow walk this... but the truth will come out. It already has. Now it’s to watch the scurrying masses of culprits try to play a shell game.

It’s been fun to watch... Brennan, Clapper, Comey, Yates... retards... try to spin this. It’s marvelous entertainment. They’re sick and corrupt to the core, and have done great damage... but the **** is done... may as well enjoy watching the roaches get corralled.

Obama used 3rd World Banana Republic ****hole tactics to spy on a political opponent.

Obama is the new Nixon.

THe NYT accidentally let the cat out of the bag, and no amount of scurrying is going to get it back in.

There are obviously going to be some ground shaking reveals contained in the IG Report.

It's probably a good time to not be Clapper, Comey, Brennan, Lynch, Holder, Clinton or Obama.

I remember when the Dems used to be the party exhorting the idea of Power to the People.

That's been a long time ago, now.

The current mantra is pretty much take all the power and money and send it to Washington.

With all the sexual abuse scandals related to Leftists in the past year... why not go take a trip down memory lane and dig up the slogan from 2006?

It’s a war on women... ROTFLOL... it will work just as well as co-opting Trump’s “Drain the Swamp”.

If they’re stupid enough to co-opt his slogan, he’ll have a great time mocking Dems.

This move by the Dems rates as... all-time moronic.

But... I guess they don’t have anything to run on like ... the economy, ISIS, borders, taxes...

No. One can't make up how clueless you are.

"drain the swamp" was originally used metaphorically in 1903 by Social Democratic Party organizer Winfield R. Gaylord.

It's been borrowed by at least a half dozen US politicians. Trumps version......

It's not that hard to figure out unless you're a slave to the panderings of the Mass media types trying to deceive the weak minded.

All you have to do is listen to and read what the guy communicates.

This is undoubtedly the most transparent administration in history.

His communications in front of Marine 1 and the Tweets during his "Executive Time" are a pretty good window into his thoughts.

I suppose we can all offer private thanks that he does not Tweet using a face time app... ;)

I wouldn't advocate for a completely hands off approach. My ideal would be as few regulations as possible and mostly done at the state level rather than federal. The current setup of unelected bureaucrats creating and implementing a constant stream of regulations is absolutely ridiclous. One of the first laws I would push for if I were in office is that any regulation pushed by the EPA, FDA, etc would need to be voted on by Congress. Considering creating legislation is the entire point of a legislature, it is ridiculous we allow them to delegate their primary purpose.

He is averaging 22 regulations scrapped for every new regulation enacted.

Actual facts, when considered, undermine the ravings of his hate driven opponents.

People who hate Trump seem to believe that logic and rationality are unneeded as long as they hate.

  • Healthcare is the single biggest reason that the democrats are in the mess they are in. Obamacare immediately threw 8 million Americans off of Health Insurance. I should know. I was one of them. And calling it the "affordable healthcare act" is ludicrous. it was the individual mandate and the one size fits all approach that has caused health insurance costs to balloon well past what previously existed. Obamacare is was the single biggest factor in the democrats losing the white house as well as both houses of congress.

I'll meet you half way on that one. The swamp still exists in both parties, however it is primarily establishment politicians in both parties in congress.

No...however the previous administration was. Where should we start?

"Fast and Furious"....an obama admin scheme that basically amounted to gun running that led to government purchase automatic weapons falling into the hands of the Mexican drug cartels as well as the MS 13 gangs.

IRS 502 scandal that withheld or delayed conservative 502 groups from getting tax free status.

Clinton Foundation(slush fund). Clinton's sold government influence with it's donors assuming that Hillary was going to be the next president. They are now attempting to revive it as donations dropped to near zero after Hillary Von Pantsuit lost the election.

Re: Desperate Democrats Are Already Borrowing One of Trump's Favorite Slogans Ahead of Midterms

I've been reading some pretty positive articles in favor of Republicans holding the House and gaining seats in the Senate this midterm. Just this morning an article at the Hill has McConnell seeing Ohio in play to pickup another Senate seat defeating Sherrod Brown according to their internal polling.

http://thehill.com/homenews/senate/...io-in-play-as-confidence-about-midterms-grows

McCaskill appears to be in real trouble. The GOP primary for Missouri is early in August but already there are polls showing either Republican candidate could beat her. This week there was another poll from Reuters that showed Republicans taking the lead in the Congressional ballot while others showing Democrats shrinking to 3 points. Other polls that showed earlier seats currently held by Republicans in California have gone from leans Democrat to tossup while another House race in Arizona that was considered to be a pickup for Dems now seems to be leaning Republican.

Clearly something is happening out there and it is giving Republicans hope.
