    Not being found guilty of all their accusations. They can't stand it.

    Andrew Jackson before the election:
    "Clinton +350 EV. Drumpf has ZERO chance, only the FEVER SWAMP believes he will win.

    I challenge anyone to delete their account if Clinton wins and I'll delete mine if Trump wins."

    24 hours later goes on hiatus for 6 months even though he said he'd be here 100% November 9th.

    The easiest answer here is simple time. He's been in office approximately 1 year, so he has at least 3 years left. What you see today is irrelevant in terms of 2020 popularity really. 3 Years from now his polls may be in the stratosphere. Or not. No way to know in 2017, and polls aren't really useful for much on that subject right now, other than entertainment.

    of course

    If you have the media and entertainers continue to tell you how awful X, Y or Z is, then opinions of many are shaped. Most folks do not realize that the media doesn't report who/what/when/where but instead psuhes their opinions.

    Did you expect the onslaught to taper once Trump took office? How dare we the lowlife, uneducated, deplorable folks in this country choose a successful businessman as POTUS compared to a political hack? We deserve to be taught a lesson and told how stupid we were for choosing a successful businessman.

    Try and keep up. We're not talking about the electoral college miracle we're talking about his performance since being in office.

    Lets just see what happens. I really hope he doesn't start mucking with trade policy, that would fvck the middle class far more than anything in the proposed tax bill.

    If the GOP lawmakers would simply hear we the people, Trump would be more successful. Instead, GOP and Democrats are 2 sides of the same coin. Taxes are their friend as is bloated govt from which they get wealthy.

    Trump may well be the most successful 1-term POTUS ever but the media and celebrities simply despise us and in turn, despise Trump. So, they must continue to pound out lies and falsehoods in order to reach their objective of liberalism within govt

    You really shot yourself in the foot by making this post,


    His behavior, biggest legislative ideas, or direct results of his staff choices have majority disapproval ratings:

    Supported Roy Moore (I believe I don't need to give you a poll for this, considering the election results.)

    These are facts. And it helps explain his abysmal Approval rating to an extent.

    Before your deflect to electorate predictions or county polls, most of these are national opinion polls, which are historically extraordinarily accurate. Like they were for 2016.

    You have to go all the way back to Franklin Pierce to find an incumbent President booted by his own party in the primaries. There will several challengers to 'primary' him, no matter what. if the opposition can consolidate around one candidate early and if Trump's approval numbers in his own party are below 55-60% before the primaries start in 2019, I think we may see history repeated.

    Yes..trickle down bull-**** has worked so well over the past almost half century maybe we just need to give it more time...lol. And Trump's self-serving, self-enriching giveaways are pretty obvious...:rolleyes:

    Look at the jerkwads he put in charge of major agencies. No..the jury is not still out.

    I'm slowly coming to the same conclusion. That said, I still haven't hard anything coherent come out of trump mouth. He seems to have no understanding of the effects of policy. We do need an honest (if that person exists) but competent outsider. I'm not convinced that trump really is an outsider but he's certainly not competent.

    So far my life is unchanged from when Obama was at the helm. In that sense the jury is still out for me.

    Trump will be lucky to finish his first term. He will either not run for a second term or will be humiliated if he is stupid enough to run again. I imagine by then, Trump will be busy visiting Don Jr. in federal prison by that time. lol

    Trump is a disaster. If you believe the crap

    Electorate predictions have no bearing on public opinion polls, which are historically very accurate. As they were for the 2016 elections.

    Yes he did, his class warfare launched the occutard movement.

    Nice try but after the housing recession corrected itself the gap still widened for another 5 years.

    Just because the world is producing energy doesn't mean Obama wasn't working tirelessly to make it so Americans had more hurdles to jump through to use it.

    The point is that we should work towards a point where people don't need food stamps, not stand proudly on the fact that we were handing them out to almost 50 million people.

    Would you want to put money on any of those claims?

    I'm thinking about launching an e-betting business where my customers will be Trump haters betting on his downfall.

    Yea except the metrics for these improvements all show a stark difference after Trump was elected instead of some blurred slow climb out of the muck.

    Sorry, Obama gets no credit for this.

    I understand Cleef but it drives you and your team mad, so whenever I see a prediction I like to show that thing off.

    1. You just admitted to trolling.

    Yea, like I would trust a Trump supporter to pay off when they lose. I will keep my money and laugh at the continued right-wing meltdown as Trump's numbers continue to plunge to record-breaking lows.

    Being anti-trump is not the same as being a Democrat. Trump has a 33-37% approval rating. Most independents do not approve of him.
