I notice that MSM don't point out this fact. Trump is unpopular because his (and the Democratic opposition) government is unpopular. Why do they think he won in the first place?

Trump is extremely popular with GOP voters, which is a huge deal for his chances of re-election.

 

[ColonelAngus]

It's funny the media obsess about Trump's 35%, but really not much about Pelosi/Schumer/McConnell and Ryan and their pals at 14%.

Seriously, can anyone explain how Congress has a 14% approval rating, but a 94% reelection rate?

 

[ColonelAngus]

All of a sudden, ALL REPUBLICANS WANT TO RIDE THE TRUMP TRAIN!

People rating Congress as a whole is a BULLSHIT metric. Congress consists of each persons own representatives PLUS everyone else's representatives. I have 2 senators representing me, but the Senate has another 98 senators that don't represent me, so of course I rate the senate as a whole very poorly.

The same principal applies to the House of Representatives. I have 1 representative, but there are 434 that don't represent me.

The metric that would count is if people rated their own representatives only. I rate my 3 representatives very highly. You would probably rate them very poorly, but they're not your representatives.

On the other hand, the President represents us all (supposedly), so we all get a say in his rating.

Trump is extremely popular with GOP voters, which is a huge deal for his chances of re-election.

You'd better hope that the Dems nominate someone considerably worse than Clinton or Trump will be toast in 2020.

Hell, I doubt he'll make it much past 2018.

Liberals hate facts. If they post some stupid shit,you post the facts, and the conversation ends. They are strictly emotional, like a postpartum woman. When you show them facts, they just shut down and then maybe personally attack you.

THEY CANNOT DEBATE ON FACTS.

Congress DOES NOT always have bad approval ratings, historically.

Congress is at 14%, Trump is at 35%.

Those are facts.

Apparently mods don't like historical data and graphs posted with opinions and analysis.

Congress is a joke!!! All they care about is re-election not governing. Not all of that 95% is gerrymandering, but most of it is. They go there and do nothing, they never stick thier neck out on a vote. We have been in how many wars in the past 30,40,50 years. Yet no war was ever declared, just policing actions! Why, because congress does not have the balls to do it's job and declare war. Never actually pass anything and you can not be held accountable for the failures. Send those fucks home and save the salaries!

the economy is going to CRUSH it in 2018, and the Dems are fucked.

The SNOWFLAKE/PROG/LIBERAL concern was NEVER that Trump's policies would fail...it's that they would succeed.
