***Did you see that latest Washington Post poll that where the headline showed his approval number in the low 40's?

But the second to last paragraph of that same story shows that Trump would win the popular vote against HRC today?

He has got respect. Live with it

The fact that Hillary has and deserves less respect than Donald does NOT mean Donald has a measureable level of respect compared to any actual human.

just because 0.0000001

as for 40% approval - ....
40% approves anyone without a D next to their name
40% approves anyone without a R next to their name
it continues to be meaningless when it's just a conditioned response

and you can not speak for others

even though you try constantly.........

42% of Americans believe the world views the U.S. favorably
29% say world leaders respect Trump; 67% said same of Obama in 2009
Satisfaction with U.S. on the world stage is near record low...

Fewer than three in 10 Americans (29%) say leaders of other countries have respect for the new president, with 67% saying world leaders do not have much respect for him.

No, it really does mean something. We have many strategic allies and they need to know that they're doing the right thing when they join our cause. There's a joke in Canada that Americans who don't want to join the US military to die for American politicians can come to Canada and join their military to die for American politicians. Our military is the strongest in the world but we can't do the job without our allies. We also have trade agreements, extradition treaties, immigration/emigration agreements. These are all things affected by what the world thinks of us.

Take, for example, Australia's concern about our actions in Korea. We're not the only ones on the planet and in this case we're not in Korea's strike zone. There are plenty of other countries with an opinion or a path regarding NK and their opinion is not jack shit nothing.

well, I'm not too popular with both sides for not worshipping the leadership of either team

I'm good with that

IMHO (just speaking for myself) - No surprise, Trump is in over his head and has a big mouth. I continue to think we're better off than with Hillary, but that doesn't mean I'm happy about it. Quite the opposite.

What's happening now is what I hoped for - He's having a hard time with his own team and, combined with the knee jerk NO from the other side, and that's slowing down any damage. I think these 4 years might actually turn out a benefit from making both teams re-evaluate in more than just the usual cosmetic fashion. Definitely the Reps have to recognize their fanatic fringe is bad for all.....the Dems maybe not as their blinders are thicker and they freakishly continue to blame others for their dramatic failure rather than own it and move away in fear from their own fanatics.

"Speak softly and carry a big stick."

Trump Isn’t Teddy

Theodore Roosevelt was a brilliant intellectual. He entered the White House in 1901 as arguably the most prepared man ever to assume the presidency; his understanding of public affairs was as deep as a bottomless trench. His knowledge came from two decades of voracious reading (he devoured a book a day), incessant writing (he authored 20 books), and bruising political combat at all levels of government (when he coined the phrase “man in the arena,” he was describing himself). In contrast, Trump has spent his life accumulating personal wealth and has no record of public service to the nation. Measured against TR, the ultimate policy wonk and uber-patriot, Trump stands out as a Lilliputian opportunist, woefully shallow and ignorant...

Unlike Trump, TR was a conservative with a long track record of aggressively fighting against radical leftists. While Trump has a long history of providing financial support to Jimmy Carter, Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, and other “progressives,” TR never in his life gave money to or supported a Democrat, not even a conservative Democrat such as Grover Cleveland, a man he admired.

http://www.nationalreview.com/article/439463/donald-trump-no-teddy-roosevelt

Though often recognized for the aggressiveness of his foreign policy, Roosevelt was also a peacemaker. His most successful effort at bringing belligerent powers to the negotiating table involved a crisis that had broken out in East Asia. Fighting had erupted between Russia and Japan in 1904, following Japan's attack on the Russian fleet at Port Arthur. As the Russo-Japanese War raged on with many Japanese victories, Roosevelt approached both nations about mediating peace negotiations. The President longed for a world in which countries would turn to arbitration instead of war to settle international disputes, and he offered his services to this end. Although Russia and Japan initially refused his offer, they eventually accepted his "good offices" to help negotiate a peace, meeting with Roosevelt in 1905 in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. For his role as mediator, Roosevelt won the Nobel Prize for Peace, the first U.S. President to do so.

I see the backlash is well under way, with many lambasting Colbert's remarks as 'homophobic'. That's the twitter community for you, though, always itching to be morally outraged.

I must admit I haven't seen the show itself, so I may be missing some context, but I doubt Colbert meant to say anything at all about gay sex - if he'd made the equivalent remark about Hillary there might still have been plenty of outrage, but none of it accusing him of being a bigot.

From what I've read, Colbert's analogy was simply implying that one premiere is sexually servicing another, and it's the detractors who are making a deal of the fact that both are men.

AFAIK that saying has nothing to do with homophobia. Its merely a new version of a old general insult. It was thrown in with a bunch of other fairly serious digs/jokes.

The original story states Colbert noted Dickerson has too much “dignity to trade insults with the president of the United States to his face,” adding “But I, sir, am no John Dickerson.”

And the audience roars with applause. Sometimes when jokes don't match the audience there is a smattering of boos, or disapproval. Colbert's audience is unanimously in favor of the standard anti-trump line of humor. in the past his jokes have been as surgical against the ant-gay Republican politicians. Who are regulars at putting their feet in their mouths.

No
America is not horrified. It is just a couple of pajama wearing idiots still living in moms basement with bots that spit out emails and twitter posts as they program them to, to make themselves look like there are millions.

But if you want to talk about miss-treatment of women, you should really reference Bill Clinton.

What is really embarrassing it that regardless of which R won, we would be seeing the same loony actions by the left. Simply because the sacred Hillary did not win
But then, the left thinks this is normal behavior these days.....
