In a perfect world they would be underaged boys. Then Trump might lose like 5% of evangelicals.

Is there any proof of Trump's base shrinking due to previous scandals/character flaws that have come out since his inauguration? On one hand, I have to believe that the pee tape would be a bridge too far for some people at least. But on the other, his base has handwoven everything away previously, so this would somehow fuel their support for him because being peed on by women is masculinity.


If McCain won in 2008 and went as nuts as trump, would people have been okay with it? Was there a culture shift between now and then?

I don't think he'd drop below 25% if he ate a live, white baby on national TV while screaming between bites "I PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP GREATLY ENJOY EATING THIS BABY."

To be fair, if she goes down it will be because she made the moronic decision to leave Fox News where they have zero standards and pull the same poo poo out in the mainstream where people actually kind of care when you coddle crazed conspiracy theorists and despots.

I'm just sad that she's having so much backlash before she coddle an avowed racist or dirty cop or something.

Non-voter/third-party voters too

Apparently it's pretty common for people who regret their vote to lie about who they voted for when asked.

Why do so many people say they voted for the president when they didn't?

quote:

In the 2008 election, Obama won 53 percent of the votes; John McCain got 46 percent. But two new polls, conducted by the Wall Street Journal/NBC and the New York Times/CBS, show Obama winning by a much wider margin.

When respondents were asked by the WSJ whom they voted for in the 2008 presidential elections, 41 percent said they voted for Obama, compared with 32 percent for McCain. Factor out the 18 percent who said they didn't vote, and you've got Obama beating McCain by 11 points, 50 percent to 39 percent.

The gap in the New York Times poll is even wider. In it, 48 percent of respondents said they voted for Obama, compared with 25 percent for McCain. Again, subtract the 19 percent who say they didn't vote, and you've got Obama winning by a nearly 2-to-1 margin, with 60 percent to McCain's 32 percent.

What gives? Are people really lying about having voted for Obama?

Yes, they are.
...
In a 2006 NYT poll, more people said they voted for John Kerry in 2004 than voted for Bush.

So rather than look for a decline in Trump's approval ratings among Trump voters or among Republicans, it's better to look at how many people admit they voted for Trump or admit to being Republicans.

None of the founding fathers were born in the United States. As long as Hamilton was in the U.S. at the time of ratification of the constitution he was eligible.

Article II:

quote:

No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President

The emphasized clause is the part that makes, like, everybody through Madison (I think) eligible for POTUS. None of them were "natural born Citizens"--the US simply didn't exist for them to born into it.

Obviously nobody mentions this clause anymore because it's obsolete, but it was necessary for about the first 35 years.

e: so beaten

e2: actually it's probably relevant well past madison. that's a different factoid. taylor was born in 1784, so that'd give it ~70 years of mattering.
