Trump's approval plunges to 37%
Good. Hopefully it will go even lower and stay there.
This level is very close to an absolute guarantee that the GOP loses the House in 2018.
BTW, 37% is about 7 points under the percent of votes he got in November. That is a clear indication that his supporters are turning against him.
And yet, miraculously, he maintains a 99.9% approval rating among the RW'ers on USMB. That if anything should tell you how far from normal America these people are.

One can only hope....
That said, I'm not necessarily hellbent or concerned about whether the GOP lose the HoR in 2018. If they do, they do; if they don't, they don't. What I care about is that the people who are there are highly ethical and highly intelligent. I realize there are multiple ways to solve/ameliorate the nation's shortcomings, and while I have my preferred ones to "try first," I'm okay with instead trying others first so long as they are really well thought out and planned. That's not to say I'm willing to advocate some fringe approach or just go with a whim.
The biggest problem I have with the GOP holding the House is that pure party loyalty and political exigencies may cloud too many of their minds when it comes to holding Trump accountable for his actual legal transgressions and utterly stupid actions/tweets.

I don't know about that. To my mind there are (1) Trump supporters, whom I call "Trumpkins," and (2) people who voted for Trump, but who aren't Trumpkins. His support among the former group, which numbers to about 15M - 20M people probably isn't going anywhere because those people, like Trump in a number of areas, are living evidence of the Dunning-Kruger phenomenon. Among the latter group, yes, the glamour he conjured unto himself has waned. Elected leaders in the GOP have begun to notice it too, and in turn, they are slowly gleanign that they won't necessarily lose material sums of political capital by not endorsing, or at least acquiescing to, his BS.

Yes, well, that is what it is, but what it is is irrelevant outside of USMB. So, fine. Let them have their moment on here. There are some keen conservatives on here, but not many, and the few that are aren't often seen. That's too bad.

Agreed. It didn't take long to discern that.
