Trump would still beat Hillary Clinton today and the Russians would have nothing to do with it

Erick Erickson:
President Trump has dismal polling. In fact, he has the worst polling of any President in his first nine months in office since Harry Truman. His polling is that bad.

But if the election were held today, President Trump would still beat Hillary Clinton. In fact, the data shows the race would be roughly tied in the popular vote, but Trump would still win the Electoral College.

This is how bad a candidate Hillary Clinton was. She could not beat Donald Trump in 2016 and she could not beat him now. And as long as Democrats keep telling themselves Russia stole the election instead of admitting what an awful candidate Clinton was, Trump will keep winning.
...
I voted against Hillary Clinton and have been pleasantly surprised so far at the Trump presidency.  He has been more conservative than I expected and his foreign policy seems much better than that of Obama and Clinton.

He has allowed the military to defeat ISIS doing away with Obama's absurd micromanagement.  He is confronting the North Korean nuclear threat much more effectively than Obama or Bill Clinton did.

The economy is growing as a result of his deregulation efforts and will grow even more when teh tax cuts are passed.   I would have less difficulty voting for him now than I did in 2016.  I think his biggest self-inflicted problem is a tendency to drama, and his unscripted approach to some issues.

His court appointments have been some of the best in my lifetime.

I can live with that much better than I could tolerate Clinton's bad policies and bad judgment.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t

Bin Laden's concern about Zarqawi's remains

James Robbins: ... Bin Laden suggests that President Bush should allow Zarqawi’s body to be returned to his family in Jordan, but this is a matter that is up to the Jordanian government, which so far has not shown much interest in facilitating a homecoming. Bin Laden mocks King Abdullah II, calling him a Coalition minion, and asking “w hat scares you about Abu Musab after he’s dead? You know that his funeral, if allowed to happen, would be a huge funeral showing the extent of sympathy with the mujahedin.” A large crowd would definitely turn out, though most people would be on hand to demonstrate their anger and disgust. Last November’s hotel bombings in Amman , masterminded by Zarqawi, are still fresh in people’s memory, and mentioning them to Jordanians has the same visceral impact as memory of the 9/11 attacks does here. Jordan has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards those who choose to mourn the country’s least favorite son, and four opposition members of parliament who paid con
