No, they actually donât. The political calculation of the people they vote for does.

there ARE other options⌠Impeachment may be too good for Trump, it will give him an out via Pence.
Not espousing this plan, but it might be better to wait out the election, dump him at the ballot box, then hit him with total forfeiture.
Every penny Trump owns was once a dirty ruble.
That is at the root of all of this.
Impeachment may be Trumpâs ONLY safe exit.
Or maybe heâll make a deal to keep one tower, if heâll resign.
If Pence werenât such a fake patriot, this wouldnât be an issue.
Just think about it, at least.
It seems to me, we need to think about how Pence and Gerald Ford compare.
Nixon walked.

I agree that those approving of the shutdown and using a bogus emergency are Trumpâs base. But I think that the 30-32% supporting him reflects his core, not more like 25%
In the CNN poll http://cdn.cnn.com/cnn/2019/images/01/12/rel1.pdf His support dropped from 39% in December to 37%, which his disapproval spiked from 52% to 57%.
What I think is happening is that the ârally around my partyâ glow that kept the republicans from loosing by more than the 8.6% they did, is wearing off. People are realizing that what they hoped for (Trump moderating himself) as they kept voting for republicans, is not going to happen. I think that is why those having to run in 2020 in even vaguely competitive districts are flipping out.

Yep. A surprise to see Rasmussen even bottoming out. May start to see a long expected decline (finally!)

I hated those drills. I remember in first grade being aware of the travel time of an ICBM. Weird days.

And this whole fiasco the regime has put into place will continue for many years to come. Foreign partners that once worked with this country (i.e., China) will walk away and stay away. This four year period will reshape this country geographically as well. When whateverâs left of small farmers goes away, I doubt there will be replacements running into the rural areas to replace them.

They matter in the sense theyâll let the people they voted for know they no longer are with him. That will free the quislings from their knee jerk support of him.

Normally yes. I donât believe so this time. Unless he appoints Hillary to the SC, they will stay until the end.

Trump himself said on video it was his shutdown and only some 60+ percent agree??? WTF!!

And if you were ADM or Cargill would you not be salivating at the prospect of picking up assets at a 30% discount?

The resistance to the truth is incredibly strong, and not only among Fox watchers. There is a new âanalysisâ of the question of whether Trump is a Russian asset put forward by Philip Bump in the WaPo. He doesnât reach a definitive conclusion but pretty clearly seems to view the idea that Trump is an asset as absurd. He says, âBut, with a theory that often relies on cherry-picking, thereâs a weak spot: For a guy whoâs supposedly working to advance Russiaâs interest, Trumpâs awfully clumsy about it.â So part of the âevidenceâ for Trump being innocent is that he didnât definitively deny it initially when asked the question on Fox News. Wouldnât a real asset have just said, âDefinitely not!â? Also there is this gem: âIf Trump fired Comey to appease Russia, why, for example, would he then have told Russiaâs foreign minister in the Oval Office the next day that firing Comey relieved pressure he was facing from the Russia investigation?â Apparently he is too dumb and undisciplined to be conspiring with Russia since they clearly only recruit the best and the brightest.
Clearly, conventional wisdom has an iron-clad grip on most members of the media. Despite the fact that Trumpâs allegiance to Russia has been in-your-face for 2 1/2 years now they still canât or wonât believe it. Mueller is going to have come up with knock-down, bullet-proof evidence to sway this crowd.

trumpp supporters are becoming trumpp opponents so those interviews are going to be few and far between. Gay trumpsters, now thatâs an oxymoron.

For sure.
âŚnot exactly hair-splitting, that is a substantial variance, but I still contend that there is a very large portion of Trumpâs âcoreâ that isnât in his cult, they are in the FOX left-hate class. Regardless, we are still talking about historically dismal approval ratings for a President.

The Electoral College; The Senate.
Huge Blue State majorities are largely negated.
Gore won by 540K votes
Hillary Clinton won by 2.78 million votes
Conceivably a Dem could win by 5, 6, 7 million and still lose in the EC, and the GOP could retain the Senate in the same election.

39-40% will or whatever the current approval rate is. âNullifying the 2016 electionâ will be their mantra.
