RedZone Posted February 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2018 When Trump won the presidential election in 2016, Gowdy expected a call from the White House about the attorney general post. He was disappointed when he never even got an interview, sources close to him said. While the two never had a close relationship — and to this day, Gowdy says he’s never had a conversation with the president — he figured his legal acumen would make him a worthy candidate.

Many are committee chairmen getting kicked out since the GOP does not permit committee chairs to serve for life. They do not want to go back to being peons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

concha Posted February 1, 2018 Report Share Posted February 1, 2018 I imagine it's because Gowdy is a lawyer and has spent most of his life working in the legal and courts systems. It's good to see a guy not want to make Congress a career. It was never meant as such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the +7 is an average when you have CNN saying +18 +20 that makes the average a little out of wack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trend is not in their favor and folks haven't even seen their paychecks increase (due for most this month). You are thinking like the DEms now. I have been trying to teach you, forget all that stuff that mattered in the past. This is a culture war and a few dollars in the pay check is not going to make someone who is appalled by Trump vote for him in 3 years. Just like Trump approval being at an "all time low" approval rating is irrelevant to his reelection, so is this. I know die hard republicans that would not vote for him no matter what happened and I know die hard democrats who would only vote for him no matter what happens. Do you know ANYONE who is moving to or away from him? I don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The generic polling gap is tightening. And in November, folks will walk into voting booths with more jobs and more take home pay going into the Christmas season and decide it they want to vote for current leadership that has unemployment at near historic (orjust plain historic) lows and just gave them a bump in take home pay. There will also be 3+ million and counting who got bonuses and/or wage/benefits increases. Do I vote for the folks who have been running Congress while the unemployment rate has been dropping and my pay and benes increasing? Or do I vote for the folks who would be only too happy to vote it away? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
