When was Obama at 38? That seems obscenely low for him.

 

[RastaMentality]

Collins voted NO on Pruitt and Heitkamp/Manchin voted yes.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

The lower Trump's approval goes, the higher the probability that Trump will call for a bombing run of Iran tomorrow goes, just as a heads up.

EBOLA

You know, the thing that cost the Dems three Senate seats and allowed Trump to form a cabinet and appoint a Supreme Court justice. The thing that was no threat to Americans but everyone freaked out because the blacks were bringing it to America and it was a black disease.

Gallup:

38/56

Wait until they actually start fighting about healthcare in congress

 

[Rebel Leader]

The graph is even better!

1/23 was the "give him a chance"

Twice. First was in October 2011, second was in early September of 2014 (ISIS, Ebola).

 

[Wilsongt]

Aw... Trump and Kushner are mad at Van Jones and Ana Navarro from CNN.

Poor babies.

 

[Vixdean]

38% approval with the economy doing fine and no real foreign or domestic crises of note. Sad.

Trump at Boeing: "In the old days when I made this speech I got paid a lot of money, now I have to do it for nothing."

something-something Hillary's paid speeches.

What a fucking arse.

 

[ezekial45]

So is Scott Pruitt's first act as the head of the EPA going to be to shut down the EPA?

 

[SpecX]

What a fucking arse.

Yeah watching this shit now.

 

[Ourobolus]

Surprised he didn't name drop Ivanka when talking about things looking beautiful at 30

 

[sir_kevith]

Yeah watching this shit now.

The crowd started hype and now they're confused haha

If he gets that done quick enough he'll have time to apply for Flynn's old job before it gets filled.

 

[Barzul]

What else looks that good at 30? Trump just can't help himself.

LOL at people thinking the Dems lost in '14 because they ran away from Obama.

Losing because of Ebola is so stupid that people want to find more meaning in the loss than there actually was.

Kaine seems safe for now.

It might be more helpful if they polled him against a more serious candidate, but then again the GOP seems to have no interest in doing that.

 

[Gruco]

The lower Trump's approval goes, the higher the probability that Trump will call for a bombing run of Iran tomorrow goes, just as a heads up.

Regardless, dropping Trump's approval is the only tangible goal his opposition has right now, other than winning special elections as they come up.

I still can't believe how random and ridiculous this whole episode was. I mostly just tuned it out because it was so transparently stupid, but I guess one should never underestimate the power of the transparently stupid. It's so weird to think that this was such a driving force in 2014.

 

[Rebel Leader]

Anyone getting 45's scotus pick commercials?

I though he was a judge not a product at wal mart

 

[jtb]

If Kaine's seat was in danger, then we would be well and truly fucked.

Yeah. I keep reading his name sounding like Goofy lol

 

[whyamihere]

@NumbersMuncher
Per Gallup, number of months to hit sub-40 approval:
Carter 18
Reagan 24
HW Bush 38
Clinton 5
W Bush 58
Obama 31

Trump... less than 1.

It doesn't mean Trump will lose in 2020, but these are not good numbers to start out with since everything has been unforced issues on Trump's side.

Kaine seems safe for now.

Those are pretty striking numbers, even this far away.

man that's a brilliant photo

(look at the front row)

Which question was this?

 

[studyguy]

4 years is a long fucking time.
Might as well put it all down on the next superbowl winners the day after the last one ended.

 

[studyguy]

Which question was this?

A white supremacist, the leader of Breitbart, someone who dodged nepotism laws, Mike Pence and a flaccid turd. The gang's all here.

Yeah I'm getting them too. I don't get what the point is. Do they think I'm now going to call my senator to tell them to vote for him? My Democratic Senator already won't and my Republican Senator will 100% LOL.

-18% approval for Trump in Virginia, which mirrors the national average it seems.

Fiorina-Cruz For Senate

Regardless, having ~56 percent in the poll is an incredibly good sign. I wasn't really worried, but feel pretty confidant now

You don't get that much support unless people like the job you're doing

So out of the open seats in red areas: AL, KS, OK, SD, TN, WY, GA which do you think the Democrats have a dark horse pickup?

All of them except for AL, SD & GA had a previous Democratic Governor as recently as 2011.

In GA would love to see Mayor Reed run for the Dems, probably the best candidate for that seat.

Virginia has a slight D-lean, so it theoretically should have approvals for Trump pretty close to his national numbers.

Of those I would hope for Georgia - a Democrat winning any other state would probably be more circumstantial, whereas Georgia could be the start of a longer term trend. Also, it would simply be the most useful for redistricting purposes.

 

[Bonen no Max'd]

How likely do you guys think it is that we pick up MT-AL this year?

 

[AntraxSuicide]

What the hell does testing responses even mean? Conservatives aren't enraged this morning. It's liberals. And liberals have been enraged at everything he's been doing ever since he got elected. I'm not sure whose "responses~" are being tested because the only time his base got mad (Devos) nothing ended up happening.

It's not about agreeing with Trump's goals, but his execution to right wing voters. I know a ton of Trump voters who are pissed at how much he's botching their total control of the government.

Savage as fuck. Tell me that's real.

Bernie voting for Kelly is another moment in the "wait, why does this guy keep supporting things are that terrible for Hispanics" ad that Harris and Cortez Masto would pummel him with.

Bernie isn't going to run, Gillibrand is and that YouGov poll is just >_>

"Liberals" will conveniently forget Bernie voted for Kelly and continue to bemoan Democrats for "caving" for Trump.

 

[Gruco]

Dems did great in Montana during the Bush years. I'd say there's as much of a shot there as in GA-6

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Bernie has never been seriously attacked on a national stage in his entire life so I am not really sure if this is true.

Hillary even held off from "this plan will increase a middle class family's tax burden by $5000 a year and take away their health insurance plan and increase the deficit to Japan levels." He's been handled with kids' gloves so far. Bernie shouting about immigrants stealing American jobs, dumping toxic waste in Hispanic neighborhoods, and voting in a DHS guy who wanted to use ground troops to round up immigrants is not gonna play very well especially when most of the Dem base is going to be caring a shit-ton about helping immigrants after four years of Trump.

He's not going to run, it's too risky to his reputation.

All of that is always conveniently ignored by "liberals"

 

[Aaron Strife]

Not super likely to be honest. But of any red state I could see Montana being one of the first to turn fully on Trump. The Democrats do pretty well there and the Republicans tend to be more libertarian.

Steve Bullock needs to run for Senate in 2020. He's term limited so it's no loss to us anyway.
