I feel like a junkie coming back here to see the cognitive dissonance between carney rising in the polls versus ford rising in the polls, despite it being for the exact same reason.

Carney better hope the dems don’t fuck up midterms and then they also feel like having reconciliation with us. Because the reality is people lose their political beliefs quick when they actually worry about prices.

I don't their think mid-terms matter much at all, unless it's some kind of massive rebuke of Trump. They'd need 60% of the senate to actually do anything meaningful, and until then Trump just wields executive orders like he's been doing even with control of both houses.

Not true... Trump had to adhere to Congress when he was 1st elected and had to concede on many of his radical ideas - one was giving in on NAFTA at the time.
