Hi folks, while Canadian and being an outsider, I have some opinions I can share on the last mid-term elections. While I support what Trump has managed to do so far in lowering taxes and helping to de-regulate business and commerce, I have some very serious reservations at what I saw from a more personal standpoint. I basically think it was mainly lost by doubling down on Kavanaugh with all of the doubt swirled up by the accusations. It didn't matter if they were true or not, it is just that it looked credible enough to alienate most of the women in the country. He created a rebound vote and it was wrong. He should have had a plan B candidate in the wings that he could swap in. I blame this on, not Trump, but the religious right. Boom, they threw the admin under the bus for a Supreme Court appointment. OK, on other issues I do not think the Administration was careful enough to prove that they were not racist when the smears started. The rhetoric was too slanted to the right. Also, the Trump was pretty much branded a misogynist and did not manage to play it down. One major thing that helped to bring this administration down was his Tweets. It should have been managed by a professional team. I know that there may have been some big data they were playing to appeal to a segment of voters but I think they completely alienated the intelligent and independent right leaning voters. I could see this happening. There is a large undocumented independent majority that stated in this election that they didn't agree with the installation of church in state and were appalled at some of the use of social media. So, what to do? He is now in a completely defensive position. He needs to hunker down, re-group and shut the f@@@ up for a while and let the pros get this on track and play defense in the upcoming media circus the leftists and going to pour down on his head. Will the hacks come after me for saying this? Probably, but I am not anti or pro. I am just stating this as an external observer. It is really an appeal to folks to help get some sane dialog around the political situation.
