"Working people are not fools, and Mr. Trump promised them a Republican president who would never cut Social Security, Medicare, or Medicaid; who would repeal Obamacare but provide “insurance for everybody”; who would get rid of bad trade deals and “drain the swamp,” as he never tired of saying. Instead, had Mr. Trump’s effort to replace Obamacare passed, it would have imposed vast cuts in retirement programs and driven up health insurance costs. His tax reforms were heavily weighted to large corporations and the top 1 percent. So it is no surprise that more than half of white working class men now believe that Mr. Trump is “self-dealing” and corrupt.

The Democratic Senate candidates in Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio and Pennsylvania called out the president on these issues and won by more than double digits.

There is a long way to go, but 10 percent of 2016 Trump voters supported Democrats this year, and 40 percent of moderate Republicans either voted Democratic or stayed home. For Mr. Trump, this setback will be corrosive, unless he decides to acknowledge the “shellacking” and starts to actually “drain the swamp.” Don’t hold your breath.

Third, Democrats made big gains because Mr. Trump declared war on immigrants — and on multicultural America — and lost."

It's from your 2nd link ..

"Second, we have the smart analysis this past weekend ... https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/17/opinion/sunday/trump-is-beginning-to-lose-his-grip.html ... from Democratic pollster Stanley B. Greenberg that the shift away from Trump in 2018 was more profound than many initially believed."

Notwithstanding Trump coming up with some dastardly deed, it looks evermore likely the Electoral College will, as it did in 2018, be the key American anachronism standing against a Democrat presidency in 2020. And, in 2020 the EC preventing a Democrat majority in both the House and the Senate.

I'm feeling just maybe even Michael Moore might adjust his prediction before then. Last i saw he was predicting a Trump win again. You got it right that time Michael better than most all the rest. I know you hope that position doesn't get you a second jersey.

Death by some 4700 tweets thus far, at least in part, would be fair to say too.

"The end of Trump"

That number comes from 669 days in the presidency ..
http://howlonghasdonaldtrumpbeenpresident.com/ .. at, likely a minimum, seven ..
https://www.bustle.com/p/how-many-times-does-trump-tweet-a-day-the-president-basically-lives-on-twitter-8909583 .. tweets per day.

Not many of them would have served Trump's presidency well.
