The gift for Dems: Trump's immature behavior fueled by false belief that he is winning

Here are the things we knew would happen on election night 2 years ago - The GOP would control Supreme Court picks, the GOP would control congress and be in a position to pass idiotic tax cuts, and Trump would be President for 4 years.

The fact that they got a Supreme Court pick, passed an idiotic tax bill, and that Trump is still president, is not winning. Those were always a given for the first 2 years until the first midterm. But this has created a false sense of security. Trump feels licensed to go completely off the rails, just today calling a woman "horseface" that he, by the way, had no problem banging when his wife was pregnant.

When the people FINALLY have a chance to respond in the elections next month and especially in 2020, I think we're going to see that this false sense of winning was just a temporary time period after an election where we had no way of stopping the madness. But as soon as we have the opportunity, then the damage Trump has done to the GOP will be on full display.

The economy is supposedly great and yet Trump's numbers are shit? Women recoiling from Trump? Their Supreme Court pick passed with the lowest number of votes in history? Republicans in special elections losing or barely winning in usually safe districts?
WINNING?? Uh, no.

When we finally have a chance to respond with our votes, then it's reality check time. In the meantime, every time Trump goes off the fucking rails it is GOOD FOR DEMOCRATS.
