We’ll fight for every vote, of course, but Trump’s down by percentages in the teens from 2016 in all the key states that put him over, if memory serves. He won in large part because there was a large slice that isn’t the base that said what the hell, how bad can he be? Now they know.

We won an entire chamber of Congress and the new members were seated normally and are now giving the administration fits. That’s a hint.

Trump’s base is so dumb they think “Tariff” is some Muslim guy who belongs to ISIS.
And speaking of our great S.O.S (appropriate acronym for someone in this job like Pompeo, isn’t it?):

He stepped in it big time. He’s headed to Sochi next and will likely get his photo-op with Lavrov -of course.
Stable genius testing the boundaries of worldwide financial stability and the limits of his obviously flawed brain function ,this may challenge 2009 as having a disastrous effect on the average persons retirement accounts…and the serious OFF beat goes on…

Not even then. He doesn’t pay for these things, and no one around him will tell him.

And that is crucial. I think a lot of people fail to differentiate between the true believer base and his base of soft support.

Trump doing something stupid is no longer news. If he ever does something smart, THAT will be news.

Totalitarianism is a political concept of a mode of government that prohibits opposition parties, restricts individual opposition to the state and its claims, and exercises an extremely high degree of control over public and private life.
So it’s as @mattinpa says. We still have the right to vote, to gather and protest peacefully on the street or in parks or almost anywhere, to write critically of the occupant in cyberspace and in newspaper letters to the editors and elsewhere. Most importantly, we have a chamber of Congress which is majority Democrats.

China has timed the negotiation out perfectly. It is now planting season here. Farmers must decide how much to plant. Do they plant like last year and hope the China market reopens or that Trump has more hush money?
I wonder if a second day of 600-700 point drop in the stock market would get trump’s attention? Or would it take farmers driving tractors past the White House?

The combination of soggy fields delaying planting, $8 a bushel for soy beans and dropping corn prices, and senseless tariffs hammering American farmers makes for a really pointless planting season. Why plant if there is no reason to expect either a crop or a profit?

Somebody should tell DumDum that his base is 35%…not enough to keep him out of jail
Trump figured how to set up a short sale for all his golf buddies at once… call him stupid at your peril.
Just pleasing his Russian sponsor.
Trump’s re-election strategy: First secure the 40% that is going to vote for you anyway, then … hey where did the rest of them go?
