Neither of this week’s attacks will affect the midterms

[TalkRadio1]

So a bandwagon of belief is rolling in that direction, but nobody need save me a seat. I’m not convinced the bomb suspect’s support for Trump will swing the election or that the synagogue attack helps Democrats.

First, neither suspect was a solid citizen who suddenly turned to violence because of politics. Sayoc is a career criminal whose arrest record goes back three decades, including at least one charge for making terroristic threats.

Second, the speed of events these days means no one storyline dominates for long, even in the anti-Trump-obsessed media. The Brett Kavanaugh confirmation battle looked as if it would determine the election — until the caravan of Central American immigrants making their way toward the southern border vowed to get into the country, one way or another.

The economy is the third reason for my doubts that last week will dramatically reshape the election. Most Americans in the workforce today have never seen anything like the jobs boom and the rising incomes that go with historic low unemployment.

I rather expect it's too late for anything to affect the midterms.

Even you should be above taking the NYPost seriously.

But they had such a great front page on Saturday after the Republican terrorist was arrested:

Trump's poll numbers and the fact that Dems have been winning everywhere should tell you it's not the economy, stupid.
Doesn't matter how much the Babboon tries to take all the credit for it, he's such a fucking asshole he cannot grow his base and is losing Independents despite the supposedly great economy.

The economy is not the top issue.

Healthcare and leadership are the most common issues cited.

That's why so many republican candidates who voted to repeal the ACA and coverage for preexisting conditions and are pushing a lawsuit to hamstring insureds with preexisting conditions are now running ads saying they have supported coverage for preexisting conditions all along. How ironic (or hypocritical).

They are utterly disgusting.

And the reason why I did not vote for a single republican for the first time since I've been old enough to cast a ballot.
