This isnt the main reason imo. The job of SOTH is about advancing the goals of the party and preserving the majority. Trump doesnt care about either of those things. In Trump's mind, the Republican party's only purpose is to serve him personally.

I dont think he could handle the move psychologically either. Agreeing to be SOTH would be too close to an admission by Trump that he is not the rightful president. And it would feel like an intolerable step down.

FWIW, Trump also would be an ineffective SOTH. To do that job well, you need a strong understanding of the political challenges that each member faces. And you need to know when to wield the stick and when to wield the carrot.

Thanks!

Lol me. I was very wrong

Certainly underestimating voter suppression.

No problem. I also was surprised the first time i saw similar tables.

According to Roman Catholic theology, the seven deadly sins are the seven behaviors or feelings that inspire further sin. They are typically ordered as: pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, and sloth.


I've got T on all of them except sloth. I can't say he's slothful - that wouldn't be fair to him

Great show on Netflix about how tyrant gain power .

Big similarities between trump strategy like Hitler and others .
It’s almost as trump study it ….

Republicans have a much better chance of taking the House back in 2022 than the senate or presidency in 2024. They have a decent chance at all of them but the House is at least 2:1 favorite for Republicans. The only thing that can mess it up for them is if it somehow becomes an election about Trump.

Yea, Biden’s got a lock on that one.

Grunching, so apologies if this has already been posted, but this is some next level trolling of Rudy.

Lol Trump thinks exercise is unhealthy and humans die because they are born with a set amount of energy that gets used up. He didn't read the presidential daily briefing and he watched TV minimum 5x as much as any other POTUS.

This one?

d2 bringing it today. Thanks, greatly enjoyed both of those posts!

lol like he'd ever get the Gandhi question right. He'd write "BALD" and then color in the last square.

Curious why do you say that? My feeling on Dems keeping the Congress is simply based on the large population blocks tend to vote democratic. Also been longer since they took the house.

I'm surprised he didn't answer "great wall" as "Gina" and colour in the last square. Guess Melanie was in a benevolent mood that morning.

Republicans have the advantage in the House in terms of population distribution; if the house popular vote is 50/50 republicans would be very likely to take the house. I think they will take it back in 2022 because:
1. Dems have a very small edge in the house to begin with
2. The states gaining seats (TX, FL) will do their best to help Republicans. There is a pretty good chance that when you run 2020 vote totals with 2022 districts Republicans will already have the House.
3. Midterms with a new POTUS have recently tended to go against his party.

And in terms of the senate, there is quite a bit of luck in who controls it. Just a random example, Sherrod Brown’s seat in Ohio. He won it in 2006 which was one of the worst midterms ever for republicans. He won re-election in 2012 off Obama’s coattails. Then won in 2018 which was again one of the worst midterms ever for republicans. He likely loses if he had to run in 2010, 2014, 2016 or 2020 or if Romney beat Obama in Ohio or if Clinton beat Trump in the 2016 general. And there is a really good chance he loses if he runs again in 2024.

Thank you, excellent points.

As much I dislike trump , in the Netflix series on tyrant , they specify a common trait like this one :
Tyrants needs a team at the top surrounding them , team that is indefectible
(i suppose it’s why trump fires everyone as soon he sense a doubt , luckily for them they are not in North Korea or Irak pre 2000..)
to carry orders no matter what .

I dislike William Barr even more ! ( and all those senators at that time )
Trump had the excuse of being a bit « insane » .

Hopefully it is a start .
