As opposed to only 32% who want a Congress who will "cooperate with Trump". Yet more signs of the impending blunami.

When the president is an unhinged lunatic then gridlock is the best option until he is replaced.

Probably better than letting Trump accomplish anything.

Well the president isn't going to sign "good legislation" so that's totally irrelevant until 2020. Midterms exist so the people have the option to put a check on the president. That's what matters right now.

I really don't trust polls when it comes to Trump, but I would be far from shocked if Dems put out a good showing for midterms. They know what's at stake and they aren't sitting on their hands this year.

That requires 67 votes. There's never 67 senators from one party so that's almost impossible unless the idea is loved by both parties.

Yeah, the highlight reel of Trump's entire presidency is basically about to end. No fucking way he accomplishes anything after midterms. Thank Jesus.

George W Bush didn't use his veto power many times, but 1/3 of those were overturned (4 total)

If the Congress was interested in creating good legislation rather than just being anti-Trump that would be better for everyone.

Well they have two long years from November 2018 to November 2020 to think of good legislation. Right now the focus is winning the midterms. Anyone who knows anything about politics knows the way to win a midterm is be outspoken against the incumbent president.

It's just how things work. Midterms are won by being against the president. This always works unless the president is extremely popular. Presidential elections are different than midterms. Right now it's best Democrats use the tried and true strategy of winning midterms: being against the president.

Like the Russia sanctions that got passed by a veto proof majority and still werent implemented!

Yeah because he didn't veto it. He signed it then just refused to implement them.

I know, Im still just pretty baffled by the fact that the Dems let the GOP use the worthless Nunes memo distract from that fact and didnt follow up on it. Thats one of those major things that needs to be a top issue - the president is refusing to implement his own legislation against Russia.

That little fact is only going to help dems this november

Seriously, 1000 people voted? That's like a twitter poll a mediocre youtuber puts up.

You'd think after Trump won, despite the 11% chance people gave him of winning, you'd quit hyping yourselves up only to be depressed later. Hate to break it to you, but the blue wave is going to break early and never reach shore.

Yep, it's not like all but 2 midterm elections in the last 80 years have been bad for the presidents party.
