That is the view exposed by a piece in the conservative Washington Examiner….
Donald Trump’s Immigration is EVERYTHING didn’t help his party…
Donald Trump’s racist remarks didn’t help his party…
Donald Trump’s knock of women didn’t help his party…
Donald Trump’s crazy assed not thinking rants didn’t help either…
Everybody is going to write about suburban women. But truthfully the GOP can lose plenty of suburban women as long as they don’t lose the suburban men. But this year, they lost the men.
One place to start would be changing how he talks about immigration. Insisting on border security is good. The scorched-earth rhetoric isn’t.
Why? Because voters don’t hold the racial resentments and fears Trump seems to think they do. From the way he talks, Trump seems to think his base is racist. Forget the fact that the media thinks they are, Trump campaigns as if they are.
Retaking the majority will require winning some suburban districts. That will involve cutting a deal—giving something (such as DACA) in exchange for wall funding….
Note…
The piece actually compliments Democrats for their down to earth approach to the 2018 Midterms…But warned them of something a lot of us also have said…The Democratic path to 2020 gains should be down the middle….Not the Left….

Yes….
My feeling that ‘Everything Trump touches turns to shit’ holds true….
The feeling is that Trump THOUGHT he could duplicate his 2016 win by doing the SAME thing of bombastic attacks against Democrats…
It has dawned that it just didn’t work last week…
In fact?…. it made things worst….

I see Trump as a wounded and inept ONE TERM President…
NOTHING shows me different everyday….
His worst enemy will things he has done by and to himself….
