New DGA chair thinks Trump will be so toxic in 2018 that Dem candidates wont need to name him.

'Jay Inslee, the new chairman of the Democratic Governors' Association, believes President Trump will be so toxic by next November that down-ballot Democrats will not even need to mention him by name to ride a wave of backlash.

In fact, the governor of Washington state — who previously spent eight terms in the U.S. House — is encouraging candidates across the country to stay focused as much as possible on core economic issues.'>>>

seems like just last year, we were hearing how poorly the GOP was going to perform in the elections, "the death of the Republican party", over and over and over. Monumental losses for the GOP.

and then what happened?

I'll believe the blue wave when it actually occurs. I'm hoping for it, just not buying it at this point.

I have a FB friend who doesn't believe "trickle down" economics works, is pissed about the new tax plan, live on disability so he's pissed they're looking to cut it, is a full supporter of green energy sources, vocally supports civil rights, women's rights, LGBT rights... but votes full-ticket R every time...
