Sorry globalists, leftists, and SJWs, I am extremely happy with President Trump. If you take the approval rating of President Trump and the growing disgust that Americans have for the Democrat Party and you have President Trump locked in for victory in 2020.
2 scoops, 2 genders, 2 terms.
Why would we be thinking that? I always understood that Trump's not going to get big legislative things done until he manages to drain the swamp somewhat, and they will probably happen in the 2018 midterms and over several months of infighting with the corrupt FBI, DOJ, etc. I think Trump's making lots of progress... but its going to take a little more time to really get the big momentum going.
Are you talking about the same polls which always “mysteriously” swing for the Republican candidate in the last 4 to 5 days before an election?
Anyone who thinks that polls are intended to report on elections instead of to “shape” the election is a fool.
I have remorse over much of congress and the courts. Trump? NO REMORSE!!!
More likely he will pick up voters.
“...and that he is significantly less popular in polls taken today than he was on election day.”
Whatever PollHole...
It is, but to us. They are too stupid to recognize the pains they cause others. So this is our form of payback to them. 8>)
Based on post-election revelations and performance, it’s Hillary’s voters who should be feeling buyers’ remorse!
Meanwhile, Trump's predecessor will be remembered as the dope whose administration responded to the Fort Hood terrorist attack by documenting it as a case of "workplace violence."
If the people at the Huffington Post can't figure out why Donald Trump is now the President of the United States, they'll never get it.
The "remorse" which brought about Trump's support was for having voted for self-described "conservative" Republicans who, for 8 years, had done nothing to stop the unraveling and dismantling of the United States Constitution's limitations on tyrannical, coercive power by Progressive Democrats and Republicans.
Still smarting from votes for half-hearted Congressmen and Senators who promise much dedication to freedom when candidates, and then cower before Progressive policy makers when they get to Washington!
My son didn’t vote for Trump, but also recognized just who Hillary was and didn’t vote for her either - he’s no Dem, he just wasn’t sure about Trump.
Now I think he’ll vote for him.
I think there are two significant leverage points at present in American politics: the marginal Obama voters and the working class swing voters of the Midwest. The marginal Obama voters are the mostly black but some other minorities as well who normally don’t vote, but made sure to do so because Obama was going to be and then was the first black/minority President. They provided much of his margin in 2008 and 2012, but they stayed home in 2016. The working class swing voters of the Midwest generally vote Democrat, but voted Republican for Reagan and for Trump.
The Dem’s probably need someone with a certain minimal level of melanin content along with a persona to match in order to get that marginal vote out, and the GOP needs to have someone more like Trump/Reagan and less like McCain/Romney/Ryan in order to get that Midwest working class vote to swing their way.
If it’s Trump against a black or minority Dem, all bets are off!
Instead we have this mishmash of class theory and tribalism. Working class voters voted on the jobs issue. Alt-Right voters, of whom these theorists have only the dimmest conception anyway, did so because they're racist, sexist, etc, etc, essentially because they're bad people. That sounds profound but in fact it's superficial. Demonizing an opponent doesn't explain him away. And stating that a working class woman voted for Trump because she's too uneducated to know her proper interests is impossibly condescending and quite simply ignorant. And if they don't understand these things they're not going to attract anyone "back" to a party that left them.
These principles have so captured the Democrat party leaders that they are essentially unquestionable: that (1) America is evil and oppressive, and that (2) a coalition of the oppressed is to forcibly wrest its rightful due from the oppressor. This used to be fringe politics, IWW "Bolshie" stuff, not mainstream political thought, and it was fringe for a good reason, it's (1) untrue, and (2) oppressive itself to anyone marked by the Left as an "oppressor" regardless of whether they actually are. It's a losing proposition. The Dems ran this under the rubric of identity politics through its 20-year shelf life and managed to squeeze two 0bama administrations out of it, and that's as far as it's likely to get them. And nobody on the Left seems either convinced of this or willing to change the approach of their party.
So first principle here: don't attract Trump voters by repelling them. Is that difficult?
I’m enjoying the misery of Democrats....lots
They also think everyone should love communism by now.
did huffpo ever take Trump out of the entertainment section?
It’s hard to feel buyers remorse as felony clinton is decomposing before your very eyes.
I have a huge case of buyer’s jubilation.
