Democrats Could Win Back The House Thanks to Trump Being as “Popular as Head Lice”

http://www.politicususa.com/2016/03/31/house-play-donald-trump-popular-head-lice.html

Conventional wisdom and math have long created the narrative that it would take Democrats many election cycles too overcome the Republican 30 seat majority in the House. And then along came Donald Trump.

The House is actually in play, thanks to Donald Trump, who in suburban districts is “about as popular as head lice.”

So said Jack Pitney said to USA Today. Pitney is now a political science professor at Claremont McKenna College but during a leave was the Acting Director of the Research Department of the Republican National Committee.

In other words, these are not the words of a liberal partisan: Trump is as popular as head lice. Trump will put Republicans in jeopardy, especially in suburban districts.


If only there were a treatment for Trump like there is for head lice.

We've been telling Hillary supporters for months that they should underestimate him. He's got enthusiastic people to his rallies. Hillary rallies are pretty boring and quiet, not much like the party that Trump has going on over there.
