Losing key districts? I'm sorry, I know you live in delusionville but how on earth is this a win for Trump? I don't think he ever intended for the swamp to be drained by Dems.

I really have to spell everything out for you guys.
Nothing shakes up the establishment like loosing key districts. This was why people elected Trump, to shake things up.
80% swings show people aren't buying the partisan BS anymore and will vote for the best candidate(even if it is a Democrat) or vote the one who isn't delivering on his promises out. How democracy is supposed to work.
The GOP established doesn't seem to get this yet that's why they want Romney to contest the next one, that will be interesting, as it should be a bit more high profile.
It will be amazing if he also losses to a Dem.

Maybe that makes sense in your own head but I can promise you it's total nonsense to anyone else. Trump is not trying to shake up the establishment by losing seats. He went down to the wire on a total loser like Roy Moore for goodness sake.

Who cares what Trump himself is trying to do? Not me. He is now part of the GOP so he needs to back his own party when they put forward a loser. He doesn't have full control about who runs for candidates in all these districts.

You're stuck in your own partisan little mind so you're missing the bigger picture.

So whose agenda is he serving by 'doing what he was elected to do' and losing districts? Who wants him to lose all those seats? His voting base? You?

Democracy. He is serving democracy. It isn't even his doing, he was just the tool to get people to wake up. 80% swings proof people aren't voting along traditional lines, they are awake and making a choice. They didn't vote Rep or Dem just because it is Rep or Dem and how they and their grandpa always voted. Things are changing.

Because you're completely partisan stuck in your little box. So you don't understand how change is a good thing for everyone not just the Dems. You're also authoritarian so you are unable to question the status quo, at least those on your side of the fence. And now you are completely confused as to how someone can not be partisan and support a bigger goal.
Your side has the same ideas but it amazes me how you just have to disagree because you think I'm a Trump supporter on the other side.

Be careful about assuming you know what I realise.

Unlike personal pronouns, I'm not going to take offence, but it may put a severe crimp on your own understanding of the world.

Please try again in english. Why should you take offence and why should I care if you do? What does personal pronouns have to do with anything?

Hmm. You appear to have no sense of humour as well as a limited command of English.

As you were, then.

There's no humour in your post? You are now only repeating what I said.
Your puppet reference was maybe a bit funny but that's so old by now.
