At one time, this country had a mature, respectful, intelligent human being who served as president. He followed many other great men into that office. The man who currently sits in the Oval Office is a walking, talking danger to the country, and President Obama had a graceful way to remind Twitter of that.
The midterm elections are crucial for Democrats and even more crucial for Donald Trump. For the left side of the aisle, being shut out of decisions in the White House and by GOP leadership in Congress has left them in constant defense mode. Flipping the House looks more than likely, and the Senate is even looking to be in play now, and this is crucial for Democrats in stopping Trump.
For Trump himself, winning means protecting himself, as a Democratic Congress is likely to be the end of Trump’s presidency. Even if the Mueller probe is shut down after Trump fires deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein on Thursday, state cases in New York like the Michael Cohen case and the investigation of the Trump Organization may still serve to make Trump impeachable in the future. For him, keeping Congress under GOP control is survival.
GOP favorability ratings were shown to be inordinately high in a Gallup poll released on Tuesday, with numbers not seen since 2011 when Republicans took control of the legislative branch following the election of President Obama. That election changed the course of what could have been a far more successful period of leadership without the endless obstruction of even the most bipartisan of issues, like VAWA.
In generic Congressional ballots, Democrats are dominating Republicans soundly, but that should make no one complacent.
Twitter responded in full favor of the last president who earned his respect. Read some of their comments below:
