A lot of your garden variety Libprogs point to losses in Virginia and Alabama as evidence that the populace is turning against our president. --Nothing could be further from the truth (except Russian Collusion with Trump of course)--- ---Virginia is a blue state. There has now been enough spillover from the DC area that it has turned red to purple to blue. It would be expected that a Democrat would win. What might be the story there is that Gillespie was so close.--- ---Alabama has never liked Roy Moore. Elected twice to Alabama Supreme Court with margins of 52 to 48. IN ALABAMA!. All voters were looking for was an opportunity to not vote for him. Doug Jones will serve a lackluster 3 years and will never be heard from again. Mo Brooks will likely take his place in 2021.
Since Trump'sinauguration, the state of Michigan has gained 9000 jobs and unemployment has dropped to 4.3 percent. The state of Wisconsin has added 55000 jobs and unemployment has fallen to 3.4 percent. The state of Florida has added 256,000 jobs and unemployment has fallen to 3.6 percent. These are the kinds of numbers that are driving Libprogs crazy and have made Morlibons scared. While they continue to tout results only on national polling, they cover up the analysis of individual states that Trump won in 2016. --and those numbers will only get better in 2018 as the tax bill takes effect .
Forget what Phoney Snark, Shartfartandrunfast, Bear Without Honey, UnusuallyLame, Pizzadough and ExtraGoatRoper tell you: http://m.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/trump_administration/prez_track_dec27 Daily Presidential Tracking Poll The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Wednesday shows that 45% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Trump’s job performance. Fifty-three percent (53%) disapprove. The latest figures include 29% who Strongly Approve of the way Trump is performing and 44% who Strongly Disapprove. This gives him a Presidential Approval Index rating of -15. (see trends).
Trump’s Momentous First Year The economy has taken an unprecedented move towards the better. GDP is moving upwards. Most are forecasting close to 4% growth in 2018. New jobs are increasing monthly. Manufacturing jobs are returning to the country for the first time in thirty years. The bleeding of corporations leaving the country has stopped. Corporations have begun to reinvest in American factories and interests. Trade deals are being renegotiated to our economic benefit. The first major tax cut legislation in thirty years was just signed into law. Massive amounts of regulation have been cut, spurring business optimism. Consumer optimism is higher than in the past two decades. The coal industry in our country has been revived. Pipelines for oil have been released for construction completion. We have expanded oil drilling, even in ANWAR. We are virtually energy independent as a nation. Our energy businesses have become exporters. Our stock market is through the roof, up 30%, new highs almost daily. Business optimism has not been higher. Atlas stopped shrugging. The horrid Obamacare individual mandate was torpedoed. Justice Neal Gorsuch was voted to the Supreme Court. Trump appointed more judges in his first year than any other President. He is remaking the judiciary in a conservative image as he promised. He has slowed illegal immigration to a level not seen in thirty years. He is destroying MS 13, and other illegal immigrant gangs. He is speaking openly of ending chain immigration. He has successfully gone after ISIS, virtually driving them into the ground. He has acknowledged Jerusalem as the Capitol of Israel. He has reset our alliance with Israel. He is quietly helping to remake a Middle East that is a bulwark against Iran. He has quietly reset our alliance with the new leaders of Saudi Arabia. He is quietly reversing the horrible Iranian deal left us by Obama. He has been the first President to stand against the insanity of North Korea. He has connected with the Chinese leadership, enlisting them as allies. He has pulled out of TPP, beginning negotiation on a better deal. He is renegotiating NAFTA. He has pulled us out of the ridiculous and harmful Paris Climate Accord. He has begun to dismantle the corruption of climate data by our bureaucracies. He has reset an agenda for space exploration by NASA. He has brought hope to the mission of our military. He has worked and enacted better care and treatment for our Veterans. He is redefining our mission in national security with his speech last week. He has put the United Nations on notice for their arrogant nonsense. He has and is exposing the national media for the leftist activism base it is. He has fought the self-tarnished media more effectively than any other. He has exposed the Democratic Party as corrupt, issueless, and powerless. He has exposed the fecklessness, and fraud of the GOP. He is quietly remaking the GOP from their own ashes. He has exposed the deep state to public view. And is just beginning. He is exposing the corruption of our bureaucracies by the Obama administration. He is exposing the insanity of the hard left, and their utter lack of decency. He has driven mad the constituency of #nevertrumpers on the right. Exposed. Last mentioned: he has earned the unity and praise of the elected GOP. Which has been well deserved. This is one we on the right should all applaud. http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2017/12/trumps_momentous_first_year.html
We can also add this to POTUS list of 2017 accomplishments: Police Deaths Approach 50-Year Low During Trump’s First Year in Office 2788 MANDEL NGAN/AFP/Getty Images by AWR HAWKINS28 Dec 2017621 The National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund indicates police deaths neared a 50-year low during President Donald Trump’s first year in office. The decline comes after 2016, a year which “saw more deaths than in the five previous years.” Breitbart News reported that the number of officers “feloniously killed” in 2016 jumped 61 percent over the number killed in that fashion in 2015. USA Today reports that preliminary numbers for 2017 show 128 deaths in line of duty, which represents nearly a 50-year low. The only year with fewer officer deaths during the last five decades was 2013. There were 116 officer deaths that year. The largest number of line of duty deaths, 47, were the result of traffic accidents. This is a 15 percent decline from 2016. Texas led the nation in the number of officers killed, followed by Florida and New York. The 128 overall line of duty deaths for 2017 is down from the 143 line of duty deaths for 2016. Blue Lives Matter’s Randy Sutton believes the overall decline in officer deaths is the result of a greater awareness for officer safety. He indicated that this focus on safety “[includes] a change in how officers approach arrests because of the controversial high-profile shootings over the years.” Officers are seemingly more cognizant of potential dangers and approach (or avoid) dangerous situations accordingly. National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund President and Chief Executive Craig Floyd says, “In my 33 years doing this, I’ve never seen the amount of awareness given to officer safety and wellness. I think that’s definitely been paying off and will continue to help make law enforcement a significantly safer profession.” On December 26, Breitbart News reported that President Trump personally paid for hundreds of dinners for law enforcement officers and agents who had to work over the Christmas holiday. CNN’s Noah Gray indicated members of the Secret Service, the White House Military Office, and the Palm Beach Sheriff Department were among those fed with the meals.

I often hear people say that there is no evidence that illegals vote in US elections. Yet, here it is from Wikipedia's Bob Dornan page. Not surprisingly, it's in California----- "After failing to win the GOP presidential nomination in 1996, Dornan ran for reelection to the House against Loretta Sanchez, a Latina and former Republican who had switched parties and run as a Democrat. Dornan lost by 979 votes. Following the narrow defeat, Dornan alleged that Sanchez's winning margin was provided by illegal voting from non-U.S. citizens. A thirteen-month House of Representatives investigation ensued, during which Sanchez was seated provisionally, pending the inquiry.[22]A task force found 748 votes that had been cast illegally—624 from non-citizens in addition to 124 that had already been thrown out by California officials. This was not enough to overturn Sanchez' margin of victory and she was allowed to keep her seat.[23]However, in consultation with theINS, the House committee identified as many as 4,700 questionable registration affidavits.[24]The probe was dropped before these affidavits could be investigated."
