Trump is back in the headlines, and it may cost Republicans in November

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Midterm elections tend to follow a predictable script. The party in the White House loses seats in the Senate, and especially in the House. Political scientists call this a “presidential penalty.”

History, though, can only be a guiding force. There isn’t always an analogy to what is happening in the present.

This year, we do have a duly elected president in Joe Biden. We also have, however, a former president in Donald Trump, whose residence was searched by the FBI and who continues to falsely claim that the election he lost for another term was fraudulently decided.

Democrats have been gaining ground in their bid to hold on to the US Senate and House, and Trump likely has a lot to do with it – canceling out the normal midterm penalty with his own midterm penalty.

1. In the end, Trump will only support republicans

if he gets something out of it. Like not going to jail.

If they promise to shoot the AG, the DoJ and the FBI, he will support them.

One thing we had with Nixon was a republican party that did not work for the Russians.

Right now trump is upping his entertainment value to fleece his rubes, just squeezing a few extra millions out of them. Maybe he's getting ready to punch out. Fly his newly airworthy jet to Russia, or Dubai, or ????
