Oh, so they never said she would win the election, huh?

Shouldn't many of the pollsters be far more "embarrassed" with themselves in how wrong they got the election predictions via their polls?

And we should believe/trust these same pollsters now because......

Two polls released this week offer that downside to President Trump. New surveys from Quinnipiac University and McClatchy-Marist reveal that Trump — never terribly popular nationally — continues to be seen as dishonest, a poor leader and unstable.

What’s more, the U.S. is embarrassed by him.
When you say, "the U.S.," to whom do you refer? Because "the U.S." can mean many things.

Only SOME of the U.S. citizens claim to be "embarrassed" by Trump, and quite frankly those people are an embarrassment. They claim that the President is "not legitimate," even though he won in a free and fair election in accordance with the rules of our election laws and system. They claim he is "not my President," even though there is no other President. They are behaving like children, yelling, screaming, throwing things, setting fires, destroying property, and breaking the law, just like in a 3rd world country. They are making ridiculous claims that Donald Trump is a fascist, and a would be dictator, even though he is implementing one of the most conservative agendas since Ronald Reagan, and has nominated a "strict constructionist" to the Supreme Court. They claim he is banning Muslims, even though he has done no such thing. They say he is breaking families apart, even though he is doing nothing more than enforcing our laws. They claim he is breaking the law even though he has broken no laws, and they claim his Executive Orders are "unconstitutional," even though not one of them has violated even one Article of the Constitution, and he has acted within the power granted him by the Constitution.

We should all be ashamed of and embarrassed by these people. They are a reflection of the poor quality of our education system. They are putting their ignorance of our system and our government and laws on full display. And they are showing the world that they do not respect our laws or our Constitution.

Oh, now we're "cultists!" LOL!

I seem to recall a bit of ridicule when some of us cited a certain poll that said Trump was many points ahead of Hillary. Turns out, it was right. But the Leftists claimed it was a "fake" poll.

Funny how things change when the shoe is on the other foot.

Since when did those polls make a change to their aslgorithms and test them?


Obama was far more embaraasing on the world's stage as he conducted an apology tour, said isis was the jv team and drew a red line in syria.


Essentially the Trump opponents are xenophobes as they reject anyone who doesn't talk like them, has different mannerisms and holds a different point of view.
They were never embarrassed by Obama because they agree with his point of view. To them, America is illegitimate. We "stole" this land from the Indians, even though there were no borders and no nation existed. America is greedy and became rich at the expense of other nations. That was basically the essence of Obama's apology tour.

When I saw the source of this piece, I thought for sure it was probably written by the infamous Jennifer Rubin. Turns out it wasn't, but it might as well have been.

Default Let's Shake it up!

I like how Trump goes for the Kill instead of beating around the bush. The Only people up set with President Trump demeanor is Liberals.

Apparently many people just don't want to take responsibility for their own actions/reactions any more.
Nope. Including Donald J. Trump. Nothing is his fault and everyone else is to blame for everything.

So how exactly does that work?

55% of the country disapproves of Trump.

You are now admitting that the majority of the country is liberal?
