Heh. The immigration numbers were reducing before Trump was elected, now you can claim that this is because of Trump but that's a bit backwards, no? Just like full employment occurred as a ramification of Obama's policies, and yet some (idiots) are crowing about Trump's economy. The Supreme court was not Trump's victory (though its good to recognize you are Trump's man when it comes to promoting his excuses for his failures) -- it is Mitch McConnell's. So you list two accomplishments and neither are Trump's. Good job.

Let's be clear about the special elections: you claimed the GOP was gaining seats (or rather all special elections have gone to the GOP which directly implies they have gained seats considering the elections have come in districts where both democrats and republicans were incumbants). It was not. It has seen its support erode in actual numbers of votes committed. If you think this is meaningless, then fine. But you are mistaken about what has happened to the GOP's electoral chances since the election. They are finding it harder to win. Harder. Hence the panic resource devotion. Ignoring this all the while mocking the Democrats for having (to you) no electoral strategy is more than just a bit stupid.

Lastly, you like strawmen, Nick. You are arguing about perceptions of arguments from liberals or centrists in the US. You are not arguing about actual arguments. So please quit with this Trump is literally Hitler bullshit as if that was put forward by the Democratic party.
