It’s personal: 65% who disapprove of Trump do so because of his “personality,” not policy or job

Are you drawing a distinction between the Viet Cong and the NVA?

Well, since they’re not at all the same organization, yes, I guess I am. Were the Gestapo and the Luftwaffe the same? The NKVD and the Red Army? The Hessians and the Royal Scots Guards?

Yeah, I remember we had a boss in a large company that no one liked. I worked under him & I got along well enough with him but he was an A-hole.

His unit got a lot of work done.

Thank you. Unlike you, many people do lump them together as if they were the same.

I actually like his personality. But did they never hear the old expression, ‘don’t judge a book by it’s cover?’

I think the Obama numbers are skewed because if an opponent didn't disagree on policy, you could bet he'd be branded a racist. What his true numbers were, who can say?

It's like the old question "why do you buy Playboy"?
a) newsmaking interviews
b) thought-provoking articles
c) pictures of naked women.

c) might have been the true answer but b) sounds a whole lot more socially acceptable.

Objecting to Obama's policies sounds the least socially upsetting.

Fair or not, it does play a part. It also doesn't help when the coverage puts their sole focus on that aspect and barely mentions policy, if they do at all. It's pretty obvious in my area there was an issue with either his personality or campaign fatigue.

Since the end of FDR's first term, Johnson County has been solid for the R candidate. There was one outlier in 1992. Perot grabbed 25% and Bush got 43% with 30% going to Clinton. It dropped from 57% in 2012 to 46% in 2016. Hillary got 44% and the rest went Third Party.

I think the Obama numbers were about right regarding policy. During 2010 elections, many states put the individual mandate on the ballot as a question/issue. It got crushed in states he’d carried comfortably in ‘08.

Trump derangement syndrome is real.

A new class of whacko lefists and whacko democrats has been created.

Some want lead. They may get it.

We need to wear those T-shirts.

The type that hate trump do so because they were told to by those that they actually believe are more enlightened then they are.
every day liberals actually believe everything Anderson cooper says because hey he is Anderson cooper or if they don’t believe what they are told by people like Anderson cooper they will repeat the lie because the end result is all they are interested in.

Liberals trust that those leading there movement have good reasons not to be truthful and they are enlightened like there leaders because they realize that the lie is for those not enlightened like they are.

This is where we are as a society. Job performance is irrelevant, the question “is are you likable?”

A leading indicator of electability is physical appearance.

Universal suffrage is undesireable for stable government and society.
