Didn't his presidential approval rate drop to 50 before the Mueller investigation?

I think Presidential Harassment is more like implying that the President is secretly Kenyan, Donald.

First of all he’s not at 50%, that’s the Rasmussen lean. The interesting thing is there is a slight kernel of truth in that tweet. If a “respectable” Republican was currently in office observing the usual decorum, someone like Kaisich, he’d probably be sitting at an over 60% approval rating in this economy. And I mean 60% from reputable pollsters not Rasmussen. Rasmussen would have him at 75%. But thankfully Trump is a complete dumpster fire.

haveblue posted:Demographic changes are the plate tectonics of politics. Yeah, you hardly notice them happening. Today's conservatives are wildly progressive compared to the conservatives of the 1950s, in that they are generally OK with interracial marriage and legal gay sex. Sadly they are now all stuck in 1960.

He's right. If Cruz/Rubio/Jeb! were in office right now having enacted 97% of the same agenda while observing decorum and keeping the quiet part quiet, they'd be at 60%+ ( in non garbage polls) and cruising to reelection.

if we had fair elections, the republicans would get crushed everywhere but the senate. i think when people say demographics are destiny they aren't factoring in gerrymandering, voter suppression, stealing absentee ballots, etc.

the tax bill (and the attempted health care bill) were historically unpopular and that was normal republican stuff. the midterms were more about how bad republicans are in general, but yeah trump didn't help at all.

I didn't think she'd win, exactly, but Cardin kinda sucks and I'd rather be represented by someone who doesn't want to make boycotting Israeli products a hate crime.

"The President" and "President Trump" are completely different entities in his mind. If you tried to pin him down on it he'd come up with reasons why every one of his predecessors somehow forfeited or never gained the right to not be subject to Presidential Harassment (whatever the gently caress that is). Narcissists are weird.

Sure the tax bill was unpopular but I doubt many people voted because of it. Not while the economy is as strong as it is. Healthcare is a different matter and did definitely hurt them. However, the seats the Dems gained in the midterms were almost all in suburban districts where non-chud republicans/independents - who would have zero problems with a regular republican ghoul - turned against the GOP on account of Trump.
