    Not going well in Washington. (This accounts for the impact of John Wall's injury but the Wizards' playoff chances were in freefall before that anyway.)

    DEVELOPING: After consulting with a foot specialist, five-time all-star John Wall is contemplating surgery. If he does go forward with the procedure he will miss 6 to 8 months, The Post has learned.

    There was a time when the president of the United Stated would have expressed the sympathy of the people of the United States for the loss of two young children in the custody of the United States government.

    This is his first comment on the death of the two young children.

    Any deaths of children or others at the Border are strictly the fault of the Democrats and their pathetic immigration policies that allow people to make the long trek thinking they can enter our country illegally. They can’t. If we had a Wall, they wouldn’t even try! The two.....

    Brown's chances maybe a bit underrated. He's pretty lefty but, as compared with Sanders, is younger, has a much better relationship with the Democratic Party, and is from a swing state.

    Reagan and Obama (among others) also benefited from improving economies after poor midterms, something that probably won't work in Trump's favor because the economy is already pretty good—but with some signs that it's getting worse—so the risks are to the downside.

    Finally, it's worth reiterating that Trump's numbers *right now* are pretty bad, with a -12 net approval rating (-11 among polls of RV/LV). So SOMETHING has to change or he'll have to get quite lucky to win re-election (i.e. face off against another super-unpopular opponent).

    Pretty sure this is a new low. (Also, what he calls Democratic policies were in place for decades and kids weren’t dying in US govt custody.)

    Here I go back to first principles to explain why we must fight in Syria and Afghanistan. Different administrations have run up against the same challenges. They’re not addicted to “forever war” but instead facing the permanent challenge of self-defense:

    This is the part that outrages people. How was someone who entered the country illegally, had known gang affiliations, and 2 separate prior DUI arrests still in the country? That needs to be investigated.

    Repeating this point, but the tendency of presidents to recover after bad midterms doesn't necessarily happen automatically—it may happen because it prompts them to pivot. Not clear if there's any recovery if there's no pivot, and Trump isn't pivoting.
