Back in town...

Well technically I was back in town late last week, but had a wedding reception to deal with. Another wonderful gala with friends and family at a exquisite converted mansion reception forum.

Looks like a lot happened while I was gone. I did update a couple of early morning posts while in town, but otherwise all of the posts over the past couple of weeks, were pre-scheduled to keep the conversations flowing.

But while I was gone some things happened, like giant MOAB being dropped on ISIS, confirmation that at least some Trump associates were being monitored by the Previous Administration, North Korea attempting but failing a missile test, along with a whole bunch of more infantile acts of sniffling from the left.

Oh, and it appears that Trump has hit 50% again in the Rasmussen Likely Voter Poll. So there is that.

Out of everything, I think the bombing of ISIS is the most significant. It would appear that the media cannot quite remember when military responses to acts of slaughter was a somewhat normal and expected thing. Of course, the Trump Derangement Syndrome being what it is today... has a lot to do with this. If this same exact act would have been done by Obama (rather than cowering off in fear over the prospects of backing up his own red line threats) the media would have loved it. Because it's Donald Trump... well... we all know how this goes.

A long time ago, when Saddam savagely gassed Kurds, I was intensely upset that the first Geo. Bush did nothing.

I regret too that Obama did not take a stronger stance over against Assad.

However, we now have a mentally unstable person in the White House "dealing" with the intricacies of international relations, and the whole Pacific area is concerned. If I were South Korean, I would genuinely fear that a nuclear strike on one or more of my cities could take place.

It is so refreshing to see you have not grown since your beating on Nov 8th, 2016. Please continue, learn nothing, use the same defeated lines, you know, the ones Hillary Squawked about wealth inequality, while renting $750 a nite rooms for her and her voluminous staff.

Two reasons you gave for her winning in a cake walk, were she had the money and the ground game. tell us again what she won?

The JV team was allowed to stay in Mosul and using chemical weapons. Mosul is home to the largest research university in the middle east...the media will be shocked.

Trump Learns to Love Bush Alums

Politico: “Throughout his presidential campaign, Donald Trump repeatedly declared that ‘the last thing we need is another Bush,’ as he vowed to take on two political dynasties — the Bushes and the Clintons. But as president, Trump has been increasingly dipping into the talent pool from the George W. Bush administration that he regularly vilified during the campaign to now fill critical administration posts.”

“Trump promised to drain the swamp and instead rely on Washington outsiders..."
____________

Just one more promise he has not kept.

Most Say Trump Doesn’t Keep His Promises

A new Gallup poll finds just 45% of Americans say President Trump keeps his promises, down from 62% in February.

The public is also less likely to see him as a “strong and decisive leader,” as someone who “can bring about the changes this country needs” or as “honest and trustworthy.”

KD, Winning Biggly Continues said...

Jane, we know you don't debate, you spam, like Roger Krugman.


Let me lay it out for you , in terms you might understand.

For me Trump needed to do but three things to be a first term success.

1, Win the election, which he did in a freaking landslide
2, Appoint a Conservative Justice to the USSC , which he did and WON his confermation using the Reid Rule and ran over little Cuckold Schumer .

3, Tax cuts, for the individual, business own by individuals and a low , let's say 15% rate of money outside the USA back into the USA.

Consumer confidence jumped in March to the highest level in more than 16 years, as Americans grew increasingly upbeat about both present and future conditions, according to a report Tuesday from the New York-based Conference Board.

Key Points

Confidence index rose to 125.6 (forecast was 114), highest since December 2000, from 116.1 in February

Present conditions gauge increased to 143.1, strongest since August 2001, from 134.4

Measure of consumer expectations for the next six months rose to 113.8, highest since September 2000, from 103.9

Share of those who said more jobs will be available in the coming months increased to 24.8 percent, the highest since November 1983, from 20.9 percent

Coldheartedtruth Teller said...

By our formula, Georgia 6 comes out as an R +10 district, meaning that it’s a net of 10 points more Republican than the country as a whole. (That is, in an election where the Republican and Democratic candidates tied in the national popular vote, you’d expect the Republican to win by 10 point in Georgia 6). That’s the sort of district that wouldn’t be competitive in a neutral year, but could easily become competitive if the national environment were friendly to Democrats.

If it seems like I’ve taken a lot of time to parse this district’s partisanship, that’s because it matters quite a lot for forecasting purposes. If you test a district’s presidential margin in the runoff elections I described above,6 it turns out to be more important than either the aggregate party margin or the top-two margin from the first round of voting. Put another way, these nonpartisan primaries can be weird — parties and voters sometimes face counterintuitive tactical choices7 — and therefore they may not be that informative. But in an environment when congressional and presidential voting are increasingly correlated, the long-term partisanship of a district can tell you a lot.

To get back to Georgia 6, we can now use the following formula to project the runoff results:

Runoff margin = .53 * Relative presidential margin + .35 * Aggregate party margin + .19 * Top-two margin

As I mentioned, the relative presidential margin is Republican +10 in the district. And Republicans project to win the aggregate party margin by 3 points on Tuesday. But Ossoff projects to win the top-two margin by 28 points. Apply the formula, and it shows a photo-finish for the runoff, with the Republican projected to win by 1 percentage point — effectively a toss-up given the formula’s high margin of error.8
We’re almost getting to the point where this has turned into (gulp) a model rather than just a quick-and-dirty way to take the pulse of the race. And if this were a full-fledged model, there are a couple of other things we’d want to consider. For one thing, it’s probably safe to conclude that we’re in a somewhat Democratic-leaning environment right now, given Trump’s poor approval ratings, a modest Democratic advantage on the generic congressional ballot and the results of last week’s special election in Kansas. That should mitigate some of Georgia 6’s Republican lean. For another thing, a couple of polls, such as this one, have tested prospective runoff matchups, and they’ve usually shown Ossoff a percentage point or two ahead of Handel and other Republicans. It’s not much of a “lead,” but it suggests that a runoff might at least be a toss-up for him.


As of Sunday evening, betting markets gave Ossoff about a 40 percent chance of eventually being the next member of Congress from Georgia 6, whether by winning a majority of the vote on Tuesday or prevailing in the June runoff. While that isn’t a ridiculous assessment, it looks too pessimistic on Ossoff. If the polls are right, the outcome of a runoff is more like a true 50-50 proposition — plus, there’s an outside chance that Ossoff could win outright on Tuesday. We’ll have a better sense for the odds after Tuesday, although perhaps not that much better given the uncertainties I described above.

But I generally think the conventional wisdom has been too slow to catch up with the fact that midterm and off-year elections are often problematic for the president’s party, and especially when the president is as unpopular as Trump. What might seem like an extraordinary feat — Democrats flipping Gingrich’s old seat — is going to be more commonplace in an environment like this one.

He's going to pull this off, and this is just one of many tea party movement candidates who are going down to defeat, as Trump costs the republicans the house of representatives in just over a year from now.

You don't have a shot in hell liverboy to get the 6th. Handel and he go into a runoff and she wipes his ass out. The 6th has solidly gone for her as Gov and Sec State.

And it's not Gingingrich's old district. GA has added 2 seats since he left, it's a completely different area. Yes he was the rep from the 6th but that was high Cobb county and west the AL state line, it doesn't go nearly that far anymore

Just go back to 2010. Obama was not popular, and the what most thought the Tea party movement wasn't going to do anything. The "freedom caucus", still can block almost anything.

The demographics are changing. Look at all the town hall meetings. Its not paid for as the President claimed. The enthusiasm of the marches will probably turn out to vote.

The Pew poll released today, has the President at record lows, as do most except for the Republicans favorite Rasmussen poll.

His refusal to release his taxes, although he said many times that he would. A YouTube search will show a dozen times he said that he would.

The Susan Rice papers have been reviewed by Republican and Democrats. No criminal acts. Trump still says she did.

And his tweet bomb claiming they wire tapping, are all incorrect.

Gallup poll shows that 36% think he is honest and trustworthy now. In February he had 42%.

If you continue to believe the President, you are delusional.

Rasmussen Reports says it was the closest of all major pollsters in predicting the presidential election’s popular vote, pointing to final results posted by RealClearPolitics.

On its final poll released Nov. 7, the day before Election Day, Rasmussen had Hillary Clinton up 2 points on Donald Trump. Clinton won the popular vote by 1 percentage point, even though Donald Trump beat her on electoral votes.

No other pollster tracked by RealClearPolitics came as close to the final results.

"The media created a false narrative about the 2016 presidential campaign, and most polling reinforced it," Rasmussen wrote on its website Thursday. "Our polling showed that issues, not the media-fed controversies, would ultimately decide the election."

WASHINGTON — As a presidential candidate, Donald Trump defied recent historical precedent and resisted releasing his tax returns, citing an ongoing audit by the IRS.
On Monday, a day before the deadline for most Americans to pay their 2016 taxes, White House press secretary Sean Spicer announced that Trump's most recent taxes are being audited and will not be released.

No one wants to see them and as pointed out, is not a hot button issue that will affect his overall ratings. But, the idiots here from kansas especially will drool all over themselves at another great victory by donnie.
