billvon 3,116 #4 June 7, 2017 Funny. A year ago you were posting about how great Trump would be as president - he would repeal Obamacare, build the wall, ban Muslims, lead the US into a brave conservative future. And now here we are a year later, with you valiantly trying to convince people that a sub-40% approval rating is really a good thing. You are so desperate that you are starting threads about Hillary Clinton, trying to distract from the dumpster fire that is Trump. Clinton lost; get over it. You have to live with this incompetent idiot now - and it's on your head. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
normiss 895 #5 June 7, 2017 Also fascinating to watch NYT reporters, having raked the Clinton Foundation over the coals, now defending Eric Trump's charity. All those things the republican party hates about women and black guys, seem to be entirely acceptable when it's someone pretending to be like them, so long as he's white.

kallend 2,148 #6 June 9, 2017 From the impeccably conservative National Review: “Overall, one gets the impression that the president views himself less as the president of a constitutional republic and more as the dictatorial CEO of a private company.” And @MattGlassman (Analyst at Congressional Research Service) "This was my big takeaway. Bipartisan consensus in the Senate that the word of POTUS isn't worth anything. That's big well beyond scandal."... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

billvon 3,116 #7 June 9, 2017 Oh this is going to drive the right nuts! He is now worse than Clinton. ============== June 7, 2017 - Quinnipiac University National Poll The president's job approval rating dips to a new low, a negative 34 - 57 percent, compared to a negative 37 - 55 percent in a May 24 survey by the independent Quinnipiac University, and a negative 35 - 57 percent April 4, his lowest score so far. . . . Trump is too friendly to Russia, 54 percent of American voters say, while 3 percent say he is too unfriendly and 38 percent say he has the right attitude. A total of 68 percent of voters are "very concerned" or "somewhat concerned" about Trump's relationship with Russia. Russia is an adversary, 45 percent of voters say, while 8 percent say it is an ally. Voters approve 73 - 15 percent of the appointment of Robert Mueller as a special counsel to investigate possible links or coordination between the Trump campaign and Russia. "There is zero good news for President Donald Trump in this survey, just a continual slide into a chasm of doubt about his policies and his very fitness to serve," said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll. ================ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
