President Donald Trump said on Thursday that although he knows hes popular with voters, he doesnt know whether his success will carry over to Republicans running for office in 2018.
Trump described the energy at some of his recent events, saying that the level of love during a recent speech in support of House candidate Rick Saccone who on Wednesday conceded last weeks special election in Pennsylvania to Democrat Conor Lamb was incredible, and calling an earlier rally in December in Pensacola, Florida, rocking. The Senate candidate he backed in that speech, Roy Moore, also lost his bid against a Democrat in a special election in Alabama.
Now I dont know if its transferable, he added during a Generation Next Summit panel at the White House. They say a lot of it is not transferable. They may like me. They may vote for me. Theyre all saying Im going to do great in 2020.
But they dont know if its transferable. I hope its transferable, because we have to do our agenda. We have to win in 18. We have to get the agenda. We need more Republicans. But when it comes to polls, Trump is reluctant to believe the numbers.
We have a tremendous amount of support, he said. Its sort of an interesting thing sometimes, they say, you add 9 [points]. Whatever Trumps poll numbers are, add 9. People dont want to talk about it, they dont want to be bothered. But when they get into the voting booth, they say, Vote Trump.

He's already setting the stage for not being responsible if the Republicans get swamped by a blue wave.

He doesn't consider, or care about, having a good reputation for telling the truth, for being honorable. A sad specimen of a human being.

(9,664 posts)That's rich. Perhaps his formula for trumpery? Add nine to whatever one is talking about? There's an Irish reel called the "Nine Points of Roguery" that is sometimes introduced by tying it to the seven deadly sins. That puts him at sixteen and still leaves no dent in the tunes he calls.
And his favourite: "They say". I really want to see reporters start challenging him by asking: 'who are they' or 'who said? What a classless asshat clown.

(19,199 posts)"....he knows he's popular with voters"... When you get ALL of your "news" from the official Republican propaganda Wurlitzer, FOX Noise, your world view, both domestic and foreign, are going to be immensely skewed. Trump has no contact with reality. None.
