Hardloper is the most clueless poster on LRC.

It was doing okay the last couple years under Obama but could have been better. It's doing better this year than it was though.

Whatever you do, be sure you've forgotten Congress' role (the House) in making it worse during that time period.

At one point during the interview, Trump seemed annoyed that one of the Wall Street Journal reporters in the room called the reaction to his July 24 Boy Scouts speech “mixed.”

“There was no mix there. That was a standing ovation from the time I walked out to the time I left, and for five minutes after I had already gone. There was no mix,” Trump said.

He added: “And I got a call from the head of the Boy Scouts saying it was the greatest speech that was ever made to them, and they were very thankful. So there was – there was no mix.”

It was the best speech ever given. Ever. To anyone. Presidents always tell kids about their real or imagined orgies.

I can not fault Trump for anything. He is doing everything he promised, which is refreshing.

how's the health care coming? How's the wall? How's the iran deal? How's solving the budget deficit? how's locking up hillary? how's common core? how's the safe zone for syrian refugees? how's not being laughed at by foreign countries? how's bringing back waterboarding? how is cancelling all funding of sanctuary cities? how is his commission on radical islam? how is pusing for term limits?

Looks like Booker is running in 2020. This issue is a winner.

Allegedly, tax reform is the big item this administration wants to pass.

If it can be done, I think Democrats should contribute to the discussions and cast yes votes if they come up with a good package.

I don't care if Trump gets the credit for getting it done.

I don't want to be like the Republicans and vote no on any reasonable thing just because they don't like the president.

In my opinion, they will not get this done, though.

Because tax reform is very hard.

The only way to make it revenue neutral is to give up some tax break to lower a rate. And I don't know how they pick which children to sacrifice.

I don't think they can get 50 Republican votes let alone pick up dems to get 60.

He and hardloper are basically saying Trump can do no wrong. The standard is too low for us to fathom, he is the worst president ever but they are ok with that.

This is an axiom of politics/celebrity. Some people maintain a base no matter what.

Their imagination fills in what reality does not provide. Reagan is a great example.

Hillary is scum and would have screwed up this country worse than your small brain could ever fathom. Sucks to be you. Does your boyfriend know how much time you spend on here?

Ah, I see conservatives still try to use gay as an insult. But they're not bigots.

Most gays seem to be republicans trapped in the closet.

many liberals are openly gay. unfortunately many more are closet pedophiles. and the majority support and vote for pedophiles. without reason

I'd vote for Booker. If you haven't seen it check out Strret Fight.

I'm surprised that eric hasn't reported this yet.

538's weighted polling average now has Trump at his lowest point since taking office. He now stands at just 37.8% approval.

Those of us who understand polling and statistics find this significant. Those of you who don't can continue on your merry way pretending that all polls are fake.

In other news, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is refusing to accept $60 million in funding that would fight Russian and ISIS propaganda. This is money already allocated by congress, but if Tillerson doesn't accept it by next month then the State Department will lose it.

If American ideals are not represented around the world then the ideology of our enemies will win out. This is very disturbing.

Bruh, I understand polling and stats. I don't think all the current polls are fake. But, bruh, you ignore the FACT that Trump's approval rating among republicans is STILL--as of last week--80%+!

Bruh, until that number hits the 60%s ain't nothin' gonna happen to the Donald. In fact, if it stays above 80% into 2018, expect the GOP to not only keep control of congress but also expect establishment GOP incumbents to be replaced by Trump Republicans. I know scary thought bruh but who would've believed Trump would be POTUS this time last year.

What do you base this opinion on? Your projections don't make much sense given historical precedent.

If establishment Republicans lose to Trump Republicans in the primaries then that only strengthens the chances of Democrats in the general. It would lead to more upsets in Republican districts.

I don't know who will win control of congress in 2018, but if Trump doesn't turn the presidency around you can count on Democrats making huge gains.

Bruh, I use facts and logic to make predictions. Let me axe you....did you make predictions prior to the 2016 election? What were those predictions? Where they correct? What did you base those predictions on bruh?

There is still a lot of time between now and November 2018, bruh. A lot can happen. I do realize history would suggest big losses for the GOP in congress in 2018. But, the wildcard now is the Trump voter--especially his hardcore base (old, poor uneducated white men from rural areas and their submissive wives).

You are overestimating the intelligence and critical thinking skills of Trump's base, bruh. None of the stuff you post from the MSM matters. Facts don't matter.

All that matters is 1) what the Cheeto Jesus instructs his base to do 2) that whatever Trump and/or his surrogates do pisses off libs/Dems/dims/DemonRATs/SJWs as 3) the SCOTUS.

Those are the three things Trumpets care about. They don't even care if a policy or piece of legislation hurts them or their family personally, as long as it also pisses off libs Trumpets are thrilled, bruh.

Furthermore, the only entity with a lower approval rating then Trump is Congress. He'll blame all of his legislative failures on republicans in congress, which will result in candidates that are even further right--so-called Trump republicans--to challenge establishment incumbent republicans. The result--especially if Trump maintains his popularity among his mouth breathing base--will be a GOP controlled Congress that is even further right then it is now. Just look at what is already starting with Jeff Flake in AZ, bruh.

It's gonna get ugly bruh. I don't think it's going to play out in your favor either.

well a lot of ppl find the polls meaningless after all the inaccurate predictions during the campaign, the sampling errors and flawed methodology (oversampling, based on previous voting patterns, etc). Fact is a lot of polls may not be 'fake' but they're woefully inaccurate, at least in capturing the Trump Movement.

You're conflating "the economy" with "the stock market". While stock prices have no basis in reality, I will admit that a healthy stock market is better than an unhealthy stock market.
