The three-day survey, which concluded on Sunday, showed 39% of U.S. adults approve of Trump’s job performance, down from 41% earlier in December and within a point of the 38% reading from mid-November, Trump’s lowest rating this year.
One of the most difficult things to do politically is hold a coalition together. Self interest is just too strong. Leaders who could force a coalition to vote together were legendary characters. Tom Delay’s nickname was The Hammer because of his well known ability to smash a member into voting his way.
The Republican level of lockstep politics is a rather new development. People are right to say it’s cultish behavior but even then, once the shine went off Trump (which is happening now) I expected the rats to start abandoning ship. But they’re just not. Sure, you’ve got MTG bailing and a couple of very concerned Senators, but otherwise the coalition is remarkable for its durability in holding together.
And they’re all gonna get smoked in the midterms. It’s like a suicide pact.
They’re cheating as we speak. Definitely in legal ways, but judging by their accusations being confessions, probably illegal ways as well. Hopefully it won’t work.
How is it that high?
Propaganda (fox news). I run into people regularly who believe him making it harder for all Americans to afford anything is good and he has a genius plan, and they are glad ICE is getting rid of Mexicans.
They say this out loud. This is why we need a different voting system.
We need a lot of things that aren’t ever going to happen. By the time people finally come around, if they do, it will be too late. The county will be dismantled.
Seeing as he got voted for twice. There are a lot of dumb people.
37% of people are morons. It’s a common percentage that keeps coming up.
Someone heard that we choose our presidents out of the blue section and had a misunderstanding.
