No election outcome ever interprets itself. So how will Democrats interpret these results once they are known? Whichever metaphor one prefers – landslide, earthquake, wave – it seems increasingly like the Democrats can expect a significant victory in the midterms . As the joke goes, every gas station display of prices has become an ad for Democrats; what’s more, some of them have managed to connect the relatively abstract issue of corruption to the daily misery of many Americans.

President Trump’s former campaign manager is joining a growing list predicting midterm doom for Republicans, highlighting recent allegations of government corruption as a key reason. Bill Stepien, who managed Trump’s 2020 campaign and had a stint as White House political director in the president’s first term, told CNN’s Abby Phillip that recent scandals in the...

Friday on CNN’s “News Central,” veteran Democratic strategist James Carville said that after the midterms, Democrats will “investigate the hell out of” President Donald Trump’s “corruption.” Carville said, “Well, first of all, Congress can’t do anything. I mean, he could kill everything. The post Carville: Dems Will ‘Investigate the Hell Out’ of Trump’s ‘Corruption’ appeared first on Breitbart .

Mr Trump pledged that people would be better off if they voted for him. Billionaires are; not the rest. He promised to lower grocery costs (they have risen) and to cut the price of gasoline to below $2 a gallon. It’s more than double that, thanks to his illegal war on Iran. Tariffs haven’t helped. Incumbents struggle when life feels unaffordable, and polling for the Guardian has shown the disenchantment of key voting groups. The gulf between his own prosperity and the lives of his base now looks less like an inspiration and more like an insult. Cash offers seem unlikely to help much. Continue reading...

This past January, when the New York Times asked President Donald Trump about concerns he was blatantly intermingling his family’s business interests with the presidency, he had a pithy response.

The most obvious, straight-line antecedent is, of course, the Tea Party revolt of 2009 and 2010. The bipartisan backlash against the bailouts of Wall Street and Detroit fused with the conservative outrage at ObamaCare...
