Trump vs Hillary 2016

Quote: Evenbob

Rush is saying today that the Brazille story
is too big now, everybody is on board and
he's very suspicious. They are just too on
board with it, like there is something behind
it. Like Brazille is a puppet whose stings are
being pulled. Who would do that, who would
want to totally destroy the Clinton's.

Barry, of course, who else. He wants Brazille
to come out smelling good so they can run
Michelle in 2020. Like that grim faced wench
would have a chance of winning. I hope she
does run, what fun that would be.

Sounds to me like Rush is self medicating again.

This is so funny. VA Gov race. GOP candidate gets almost the same exact percent as Trump got last year. Losers are claiming this should be some kind of wake-up call!

It will be interesting to see how incumbent Repubs do in areas that are close to 50-50 Repub/Dem in 2018. I guess that it will be risky to align with Trump, but also risky to go against Trump. Can't imagine that in 'swing' areas that it is good to side with DJT.

I really have not seen any shift since the election. Trump supporters remain with him, haters remain with (D).

The haters seem to think because they really hate him that everyone must really hate him. Given the media pile-on, you could assume that.

Then there is Congress itself. The GOP is behaving as no congress before, actually working against their guy. They are mostly swamp, so it is self-preservation there. Speaking for myself, at the moment I will not waste my time in 2018. If they want to lose that bad, why should I hinder it? But I will vote Trump again in 2020. I may vote on nothing else, as I did in 2016 again, they want to lose, I will let them. I may potentially never vote again after Trump is gone. Had enough establishment silliness.

82% would vote for him again
7% say they would pick another candidate if they had to recast their 2016 ballot
I'm not sure about the rest.

That is pretty good, keeping 4/5 of your base. There is always that portion that decides they will take "the lesser of 2 evils."

Reagan had a similar dip in approval in 1981-1982. The media dumped on him as well, though nowhere as bad as the agenda media we have today. What we may see is the areas like CA go even deeper blue.

That would be a disaster for him in the electoral college.

Righties always seem to forget (or maybe they don't even know - they only pay attention to state run media these days) that Donald only won the EC by ~80,000 votes among 3 states.

It is years out. Lefties forget HE WON! All of Hillary's margin comes from CA. Aside from that, Trump won the popular vote. IOW, they think there is all this rage, but the rage is just in a few places.

It's the funniest thing on the cable
faux news. It was a tailgate party
all day yesterday because they
predicted the Dems would win and
the Dems won. That's what they
were happy about, that they were
right. It seldom happens anymore.

My favorite line of the day was, "Trump
is coming home to a different DC
than the one he left." Wow, all because
of a race that not a single pundit predicted
the Right would win. lol
