WASHINGTON — Americans are mad, and that is putting Republicans at risk.

A new USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll finds voters looking toward the midterm elections are overwhelmingly unhappy with the country's direction, dissatisfied with its political leadership, and interested in electing a Congress that will confront President Trump.

By close to 2-1, 58%-32%, those surveyed say they want to elect a Congress that mostly stands up to the president, not one that mostly cooperates with him.

First of all, the Midterm Elections in November. Second of all, anything can change. This poll is meaningless.

By November, the full effect of the tax cuts and all of the rolling back the regulations will be sending the economy into hyperdrive.  Remember what James Carville said . . . "It's the economy, stupid!"
"Timid men prefer the calm of despotism to the tempestuous sea of Liberty." - Thomas Jefferson

"All you have to do is look straight and see the road, and when you see it, don't sit looking at it - walk!" -Ayn Rand
 
"Those that trust God with their safety must yet use proper means for their safety, otherwise they tempt Him, and do not trust Him.  God will provide, but so must we also." - Matthew Henry, Commentary on 2 Chronicles 32, from Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible

"These anti-gun fools are more dangerous to liberty than street criminals or foreign spies."--Theodore Haas, Dachau Survivor

I''m sure it's true in the Blue districts, whether is is anywhere else I'm not convinced.

It seems to me that the overwhelming majority of the country mistrusts Congress and their sycophants. Approval rating hovers in the single digits.

DJT couldn't POSSIBLY do worse than Congress.

Insofar as divisiveness is concerned, we've had plenty of that since the advent of BDS, which has morphed into its variants. Of course, ODS was apt and targeted to a known hostile, who just happened to be parked in the White House.

And the funny thing is, the relentless DJT attack dogs once in a while turn on themselves. Sorta like a school of sharks in a feeding frenzy.

Gotta love that!

If people elect a congress that opposes tax cuts, then our country truly is on the way down and fast.

The day we decided to attempt to play nice with ANY demonrat was the day our downfall began.  I'm not hopeful for our nation with so many polluted liberals, coddled criminals (including illegal aliens).  BestI can do is pray for our President and embargo any interaction between me and a Dim.
And yeah, meeting someone, I tell them up front I love Trump.  If they make a douche comment they're henceforth labeled my ideological enemy.  Plenty of patriots left to be on friendly terms with. 

At this point, we are a slowly sinking ship and I would love to be powerful enough to throw the dead weight liberals overboard.  Since I can't, being not powerful nor as lawbreaking as those VERMIN, shunning them is the least I can do.
