Re-read what I said. They have what they need to do so because of his choices on divesting. At the moment they could impeach him in hours. He made a serious error there. And Im not talking about Democrats, I am talking about Republicans. They own him, he just doesn't realize it yet.

Thats "participating in democracy". Good luck with that.
Awww. Poor guy. Remember where I said Democracy was loud and messy? Mind you, I am not saying its right-I think the moron should be allowed to speak, but im not surprised either. Nor is it any violation of his rights.

Eventually Trump is going to do something to **** you off as well.
I don't know. I think Trump was telling the truth when he said he could shoot someone and not lose any supporters.

Most Support Temporary Ban on Newcomers from Terrorist Havens - Rasmussen Reports™

Surprise surprise. Wide majority of likely voters support it. 57% for to 33% against. This is consistent with many polls done over the last year about immigration in general. So there is no unprecedented amount of people protesting. Its just a few libs that the media use as propaganda to push their agenda.

Right now today....53% support Trumps decisions so far.

Daily Presidential Tracking Poll - Rasmussen Reports™

His approval rating the day after he was sworn in was 56%

What They Told Us: Reviewing Last Week

Thats up from 52% before he took the office, which stayed the same all the way back to when he won the election.

The polls you take comfort in are the same ones that were wrong about the election. For every 100 people they poll they are dropping about 4 or 5 republicans and adding 4 or 5 democrat voters. This is called oversampling. Its swinging the poll about 10% and many cases its more.

This is all very easy to verify if you had any ability to actually think it would give you the compunction to actually do some independent research instead of just spewing up whatever bs the democrat propaganda machine (the media) is feeding you.
It's funny that you choose Rasmussen. Presidential Approval Ratings -- Donald Trump | Gallup

Well below other Presidents at the start of their first term.

And a significant drop after his Muslim ban: Gallup Daily: Trump Job Approval | Gallup

The Rasmussen poll on the ban was not a very neutral wording, thus I doubt its results.

Rasmussen's approval averages still have Trump below other first term President's at the beginning of their term. And they have him down significantly starting at the Muslim ban.

Rasmussen has Trump well below the end of Obama's term. And way below the start of Obama's term.

The polls were right about on for the vote--they just missed the result.

All Presidents bump in polling between election and inauguration. Virtually all President's are at the height of their approval rating around the time of inauguration. Trump is well below the average President at this stage of the term. He is below the end of Obama's term, which does not indicate that he is popular.

Nothing will happen very slowly.

Most of the important ones are Republican seats, many of them in states that lean Democratic.

Current Republican governors facing election (or an empty seat) include: Florida, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Ohio, Vermont, and Wisconsin.

Current Democratic governors facing election (or an empty seat) include: Colorado, Connecticut, Minnesota, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island.

Republicans are defending more "hostile" territory than Democrats are. While midterm elections are typically lower turnout, I expect the outrageous Trump Administration will encourage more of the Democratic base to turn out than usual.
Guess you missed that whole election we had last year. Pretty much blows that first sentence out of the water and it only gets worse for the rest.

Plus, who gives a flip about the Governors? Look at how many Senators are up and look at how many Dem Senators are up in states that Trump flipped. Not good at all for the Dems.

We'll see how the Senate map looks as national politics develops over the next 20 months. Governors matter because governors & state legislatures conduct the redistricting. Plus the United States is a relatively decentralized country--states are more active here than, for instance, France.

We had an election last year. The person with fewer votes won. The Democrats picked up seats in the House and the Senate (and narrowed the gap in House votes).

Please explain the trail of "contempt for tradition and law"

Please be specific.

What has he shown contempt for?

What laws has he broken, or shown contempt for?
