I think were going to do really well in the Senate, and I think were going to do, frankly, well in the House, because in the history of our country, weve never had a better economy.
BLOOMBERG: How many are you going to win by? How many will Republicans win by?
TRUMP: Well, I dont want to I dont want to predict because then if I if Im wrong, youre going to say, Oh, hes devastated youre going to say, Hes devastated that they didnt win.
So I dont want to do that, but I think were going to do well. Now Im betting against history because if you look at history, like literally, over 150 years, for whatever reason, when you have the president, that party doesnt do very well in the midterms. I dont know why.
The advantage we have is I am actually a very popular president, which people dont like to say, you know. In fact, I guess the Republican poll came out, theres one at 92 and one at 93 and one at 90, and theyre the highest numbers that have ever been, with the exception of a tiny period of time with a bullhorn.
But that period lasted for about a week.

(182,879 posts)He actually sounded coherent when he was talking about the midterms then we returned to form as a dumbass:
He's not popular
W rode 9/11 through the midterm and to reelection AND used it to start a war and spying on us and torture
Totally disrespectful of that tragedy which he made wild claims about

(2,807 posts)That's the number that jumped out to me in the latest polling.
And it goes down from here on out.

(6,377 posts)His approval has been falling hard throughout the last week, likely because of his nonreaction to McCains death. But in a week or two when McCain has been buried and everyone gets back to everyday life, its possible theyll go back up as people forget.

(37,453 posts)least he has them marked for the next time. Everyday I pass the cemetery down the street, time is still raw after losing my twin, but I'm reminded of the day by a huge black granite memorial to a father & son lost that day to a local family. Everyday a jet deviates along the Hudson River close to my house, I'm reminded or that fateful morning they damn near collided over our town. For him to minimize that day is more than enough to see him ousted in a very spiteful way. How dare he!!

(45,020 posts)It's not just that he believes that he's at a 93% approval... which is fucking crazy in itself. This interview illustrates how far gone this clown is. He's a rambling wreck and just plain demented. On top of it all, he can't say a thing without trying to make someone else look bad... as in his 9/11 comment. What a complete asshole.

Trump is a monumental idiot.

(46,185 posts)Trump's on record, criticizing the two towers of the World Trade Center. Said they were ugly anyway, therefore, not such a great loss.
