https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/899008521726861312 You know all the doom warnings about the coming north american eclipse are funny and all but if Donald Trump is actually performing some sort of Lovecraftian ritual to summon an elder god then I want you all to know that I loving called it first.

Covok posted:Can we be done with these articles already? We have opinion polls. Also, every time an editorial like this is written, it's always written in the shittiest way possible. Smug, annoying, Etc. Well, this little nugget is buried in there: "A recent Monmouth University poll found that, of the current 41 percent of Americans who approve of the job he is doing, 61 percent say they cannot see Mr. Trump doing anything that would make them disapprove of him." 61% of 41% is just over 25%. Of probably Republicans. Now, granted: that's just one poll, but 25% of Republicans do not a plurality make.

Its amazing how many of these fine neo nazis are felons or soon to be criminals. But I wasn't expecting 2017 to be the year of Republicans loving themselves over between stickman three striking himself out and that senator finding out he's been gerrymandered off a voting roll.

Careful...he's plunged through every other floor, so far. Even so, that's a sound assessment. However, GOP leaders cannot be finding 30% a secure base with 2018 looming.

His last day in office Trump reveals he was secretly Nyarlathotep, his approval finally drops below 25% as his base realizes this means he was black the whole time.

Because you know he was in favor of those laws since they're particularly made by Republicans to hurt black people. I guess he just never realized it hurts him to. The only people Republicans actually care about are the rich and he's not rich.

Even Nixon, at the very depths of Watergate when he resigned, still had upper 20s approval. There is also a fraction (whose size I don't know) who would support a Democratic president no matter what, as well. I guess it's like supporting a sports team. If you're a fan, you stick with them win or lose. Some people are the same way about politics.

The only hitch to the GOP gamble is that if Trump goes and the Rs don't save him from Impeachment, does the base turn on the Rs? They seem to have attached themselves hard to Trump himself and would double down hard with their dear leader by instinct until the very end. Maybe even further if some of them blame Pence for betraying them.

I still have trouble with the idea that the GOP would turn on Trump that hard due to the sheer blow to prestige involved. I'm not sure I buy the GOP being calculating enough to decide dumping Trump is the better decision in the long run.

One he's gone, they'll find an excuse to love Ryan or whoever until he fails.

It's clearly the latter and the week after he's impeached fox will say they've never heard of him. And suddenly you'll meet a lot of "independents" who "totally voted 3rd party in 2016"

I'm not sure I buy the GOP being calculating enough to decide dumping Trump is the better decision in the long run. Pence has the opportunity to approach the tortilla caucus, the tuesday group, every GOP house and senate member that /isn't/ deeply aligned with the leadership, AND all of the dems. He can arrange to pull article 25, appoint a neutral party that satisfies enough people in the house and senate as his veep, and resign. That appointed neutral party can then manage the presidency while the House decides upon a process to appoint a new Speaker of the House, with the understanding that when the neutral party president is satisfied, he will resign and the new speaker will ascend. Getting the stink of scandal and the misdemeanor of nazi sympathy as far from the Office of the President as possible. Sets pence up to be a hero, with very little work from him (much more fun than 6 years as POTUS). Throws the GOP leadership under the bus, but puts country over party (and the best opportunity for the GOP to survive /as/ a party, or - if not - for the congressmen that turn to hope for a career after this shakes out). edit: I mean, Pence is quickly coming upon a Ford moment. Ford pardoned nixon, and lost the next election. A lot has been said about his decision to pardon. Pence can be much more sophisticated in efforts to heal the nation. He can do better than Ford. Really, his legacy depends upon it. Uglycat fucked around with this message at 04:39 on Aug 20, 2017 |
