Does President Donald Trump need a midstream midterm course correction?
I was once told that advice is worth what you pay for it, and in the case of Donald Trump laying out value for tidbits of commentary, he doesn’t often accept others’ opinions. Trump trusts his instincts first and the philosophy has served him well. Understanding what Democrats are after will only help him make good decisions for this year’s elections.
Republicans mustn’t let shiny-object news media distract them from wooing senior voters
President Trump’s political sense suggests he knows what he’s doing and will be in the best possible position to influence different voter blocs when the time comes to campaign later this year. By then, voters will have tired of the Democrats’ gripes and groundless protests. Patience is demanded. Intuition – and history – says Republicans will be fine.
Faulting Democrats for everything makes perfect sense in today’s political climate
The “real” Tea Parties tossed the crates of tea into the harbor. They didn’t ask King George III to intervene and dictate to the non-believers like progressives do. Progressive causes burn hot and then fizzle out. They’re unsustainable. They may get a few socialists nominated, but their short-term success will only hurt them in the long run. The American People crave stability and peace – and normalcy. Democrats just can’t deliver it.
