    Since Trump's illegitimate win, Democrats have flipped over 42 seats. Democrats are now competitive in safe Trump districts.

    What's also odd is that after achieving this power, you've accomplished absolutely nothing.

    This Trump economy is trash, and GDP growth last quarter was inflated by almost a full point thanks to rushing to get export orders out before the tariffs took effect. That's going to severely cut orders for Q3, which is going to do what to GDP?

    Amazing...that a political party with the controls they have nationally and in the states...cannot get anything of substance done.

    Their biggest bragging point is that they have managed to get a conservative on the Supreme Court...and may get another.

    They have absolutely no abilities for governance. They should allow others to govern...and stick to what they do best: Complaining about what others actually do...and promising to do things they never do when they get into power.

    They are pathetic losers...and even worse winners.

    They aren't even running on their Russia Tax Cut, which was supposed to be this bigly important political gift to Conservatives.

    well then the next time you ask people on an anonymous message board about something you claim to want to know, why don't you preface the question with the statement of 'you're not going to believe a damned word anyone has to say unless it comports with my preconceived bullshit notions of what I want to hear'............that way nobody has to reply to this crap.
    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

    Goes back to the early 1970s when worker productivity was divorced from worker compensation. CFM calls working others/labor for less than earned "smart".

    That could be for a lot of reasons. The law is designed to benefit corporations and the richest Americans most. It reduced the corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent, and the top 1 percent of individual earners are expected to receive about 80 percent of the legislation’s gains.

    I agree......the number one plank in your platform should be "we will raise your taxes!"......

    Believes tax increases cause increases in wages.
