Chuck Todd Admits Trump's 'Winning' on Meet the Press, Says Democrats Are 'Reeling'
Chuck Todd, host of NBC’s “Meet The Press,” said Sunday that President Donald Trump is “winning” the policy war against Democrats as the left continues to falter.
“The announced retirement of Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy this week helped make one political reality clear — despite his overall unpopularity, President Trump is winning, and the Democrats right now are reeling,” Todd said.
“The Supreme Court, Mr. Trump is about to shape the court for a generation by choosing a possible tie-breaking conservative justice, and he’s already filled the lower courts with like-minded conservatives,” he added.

Todd also said Trump is enjoying solid support throughout the GOP.
“How about the Republican party? The president’s approval rating among Republicans is around 90 percent. Elected Republicans fear criticizing him,” Todd continued.
Todd also said Trump has had success in turning the term “fake news” against the mainstream press.
“How about fake news? Mr. Trump has turned that phrase, which initially referred to the phony Russian generated stories designed to support his campaign in 2016, into an applause line now to discredit responsible reporting showcasing his misdeeds.
“If reporters faithfully fact check the president’s serial misstatements they risk being considered biased. If they don’t, misstatements gain traction. Either way, Mr. Trump wins.”
Todd believes Trump has found success in discrediting special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation while garnering praise for the country’s recent economic boom.
“The Mueller investigation — the president has succeeded in convincing millions that the investigation is biased, despite trafficking only in innuendo and not providing evidence,” he said.
“Then there’s the economy. It is doing well, but it was doing well before he took office.
“Yet with unemployment down and jobs being created, President Trump is getting this credit.”
