Trump's closing argument frames midterms as a referendum on his White House

[left-of-center2012]

President Trump launched a final-day campaign blitz on Monday to save the GOP Congress, framing the midterm elections as a referendum on his presidency.

“In a sense, I am on the ticket,” Trump, who has tied the midterm election outcome to his presidency in a more pronounced way than most presidents, told attendees at a rally in Ohio.

“The midterm elections used to be like boring,” Trump said. “Now it's like the hottest thing.”

Trump generally refrained from making comments about specific candidates. Instead, he focused on his core closing arguments on immigration, where he has stoked fears about border security by pointing to a caravan of immigrants traversing Mexico toward the U.S. border.

1. A Sanscrit saying goes like this: Beware of what you wish for because

your wish will be granted.

2. Go on ... Mr. 40% approval.

3. And when he loses, it'll be everyone else's fault

Sadly, you can't make bank on that, because not even a Republican would take that sucker bet.
