Official LRC President Donald J Trump Thread

It's a pretty low bar when Trump supporters celebrate a 42% approval rating.

And the Republican overall approval ratings are even lower.

Trump is not on the ticket in November, so they won't get help from his people coming to the polls.

Those that like Trump more than the Republican in their district will stay home and skip the vote.

Those that dislike Trump will come out and vote for the Democrat to neuter Trump's power.

Anything that can swing, will swing Democrat.

I wouldn't be too confident though. I read an article a couple of days ago where someone did a deep study of the house districts. They are so heavily gerrymandered for Republicans that it will take a pretty unprecedented blue super-wave to topple the house. I think it said that we would need a level of Democratic turnout that we haven't seen in the last 40 years.

I'm not saying it won't happen. But don't think it's a foregone conclusion.

The current version of the Republican party (Freedom Caucus, Tea Party) will be overtaken at some point in time. What is unfortunate for the real Republican party is that that they will carry that boat anchor around their necks for a very long time. Republicans will be a very minority party and will get nothing of what they desire passed in future years. It could well be that at some point in the future the few remaining Freedom Caucus / Tea Party types, and their supporters, will demand that the US allow them to form their country.

Trump DEMANDS that the US military pay for his wall.

42.6% now. If it hits 44%, watch the all-out guerilla warfare the MSM breaks out. Going to be so fun to watch.

Nope. Try 40.7% approve of. 53.0% disapprove of.

Oh, 50% > 44%. You don't seem to realize that.

Fail. Don't post biased/oversampled dems from Nate Silver. He is one of the worst presidential pollsters as he proved again in 2016.

This is all true, but let's look at reality here too though...Trump has RISEN in the polls to the point that he's at his highest in the last 11 months. I don't understand how or why, but there it is. Normally I would give someone credit for such a thing, but I can't give credit to a guy who has someone swindled naive people into supporting him. It is truly a Bizzaro World we live in.

I'm the reason you look down at your phone and smile...and walk into a pole. I am definitely not Flagpole, snookums.

Interested Rates wrote:But they ignored that interest rates would go up while the tax cuts took effect. The numbers only worked of interest rates stayed steady. Increased interest rates are crushing because it effects a lot more than the tax cut lost revenue. Once that interest is charged there is not way to undo it.

Also failed to mention the generally recessionary effects of rising interest rates.

It was always a fantasy. During Reagan and Bush #2 administrations, the only effect of similar tax policy was to accelerate the wealth gap. It will do the same, again. The 98% get stuck with the bill!

Such dishonesty.

I thought Mexico was going to pay for the wall.

I thought all of these "liars" would be sued after the election.

I thought this whole Russia thing was all a hoax.

I thought we would get tired of all the winning.

I thought Trump wouldn't have time to play golf because he would be working for all of us.

I thought Trump was the least racist person Don Lemon had ever met.

I thought Trump didn't have an affair with Stormy Daniels.

I thought Ivanka wouldn't be involved in the White House.

Trump told us to think a lot of things. Fortunately for me, I really DIDN'T think those things, but too many of you did. You should be mad at Trump for pulling the wool over your eyes and then also mad at yourself for allowing him to.

Mueller is coming.

The clown is done.

What seems likely is happening is that people being asked to respond to a poll are choosing not to respond at all. They are opting out of giving their opinion. But people who do not approve of Trump have not suddenly approved of him; they simply chose not to respond to the poll--they are disgusted by Trump. On the other hand, diehard Trump supporters will continue responding; and many prior Trump supporters chose not to respond to the pool. So, the pool is skewed towards Trump because his responders are the most likely of those asked to poll to agree to it.

We're on the same page.

I said anything that can swing ...

Many or even most districts are not swing districts.

But that last PA district won by Democrats was not supposed to be able to go Dem.

And neither was any Alabama senate seat.

Michael Aish, bro. Michael Aish. LOL.

Mueller is unable to come.

The clown remains Flagpole (since about 2004ish..... check his old posts folks).

Reagan was popular for a while. Bush #2 was unpopular until terrorism gifted him popularity. I understand the appeal of the Chief Idiot as the same kind of misguided confidence.

The reality is slowly setting in that the source of "the problem" (whatever a Trump voter feels is an issue) is Trump.

Trump must be absolutely apoplectic about Obama's poll numbers being better than his.

President Trump’s most urgent political problem doesn’t involve Robert S. Mueller III, Stormy Daniels, Vladimir Putin or the hundreds of thousands of voters who marched for gun control. Rather, it’s that his die-hard supporters might be starting to realize how thoroughly he has played them for suckers.

Kinda like how Hillary played you as her b*tch? Kinda like that?
