Can Democrats beat President Trump on gun control?
Yes they can. There's widespread public support for things like an assault weapons ban particularly potent for Democrats in suburban areas in swing states like Pennsylvania where support for gun control is even higher.
Should Republicans be worried about Texas in 2020?
They should. I'm skeptical that it goes blue in 2020 but the numbers are moving against Trump. He's almost underwater in terms of popularity there and the changing nature of demographics of the state, the growing urban areas, really trending badly for Republicans. Not sure it happens in 2020.
What's the most important thing that happened at the Iowa State Fair?
Well it reminded us that Iowa's wide open. Joe Biden has a lead in the public polls and the corn kernel poll. But Buttigieg, Harris, Warren, Sanders all right there.
The Rant: President Trump and the stock market
A lot of people don't notice that we are exactly where we were 18 months ago. Stocks have done nothing since the trade war began and they won't without some sort of resolution. Meanwhile the real economy is also on the brink of recession with all of the trade tensions with China. Trump has got to get something done here. If he wants to win re-election.
