re: #55 HappyWarrior

The stories about the family men whether the Polish-American doctor and the Mexican-American family man, and the GOP’s attempt to blame any violence on Dems could be backfiring but the thing is they need their base to keep them in, and their base is still hateful. I saw the idiotic gumball meme this morning already.

Yeah: that’s the thing: that “base” has, so far been the (mangy) tail that’s wagged the (sick, fleabitten) dog in the GOP: but on a national level, they are going to need more than that. In my estimation - in my authoritative capacity as Some Random Guy On The Internet - the political dynamics in 2018 are that Trump’s base of support is very deep, but narrow: the “Opposition”/”Resistance” is very wide but shallow. Which side is going to have more momentum/motivation going into the midterms is going to be of vital importance.
