Stop posting fake numbers put out by the fake news media. The vast majority of Americans support Trump. Many privately. Just wait till these tax cuts turbo charge the economy
I would disagree. I would say that a majority of people support various aspects of Trumpism but don't support the entire package.
I know a fair number of Trump voters. All but one are less satisfied with him. All but one of them want his dumb butt off Twitter. NONE would change their vote. Hillary was just too awful.
Invert the situation and the lowest Hillary could go is a similar number. Its simple party preference.
People look at the AL race all wrong and need to look at it
NOT from the standpoint that Jones won.
FROM the standpoint that AL came within 25000 votes of sending a child molester to the Senate.
That came from Black men and women. There many more of them. The win may always be razor thin but the Dems will win.
I can't think of any other way to explain why Trump is still so popular among his base. A lot of people I know who voted for Trump aren't particularly satisfied with everything he's done, they just prefer him on his worst day to a Democrat. They will continue to support Trump like their high school or college football team during a bad season because after all, he is their guy, warts and all. Would you say this is the case among the people who still support Trump? Do you actually think the guy is honest and is doing a good job or do you just think he's better than a liberal?
are those who still support him the same people that would never vote for a democrat? The same question can be asked about those who still support Hillary and want her to run again or think she got screwed. Let me add, just this morning one of our very liberal columnist locally who is a raving lib was talking on a local talk show about, as much as he can't stand to admit it, Trump has done a lot of good things and is not a bad president. So, it is not all the one way. It is the media that will not give it up.

You listen to a media that constantly attacks Trump. I'll bet you consider yourself in the know and open minded?
As a registered Republican who voted for Obama (twice) I think Trump is doing just fine, minus his wild tweets. There isn't one established Democrat I would vote for today. Not to say I wouldn't vote for one in the far future.
I agree. At first, I was on the line, not sure if I would support Trump. My vote was a "he's not Hillary vote". In hindsight I've now changed to I'm glad I voted for him. He's doing a good job, he's done more positive things than the same ole, same ole presidents before him.
Some of us Trump supporters on City Data were Democrats. I was a Democrat most of my life. ...
I was a Republican for most of my life. Reagan never appealed to me, but G.H.W Bush (the father) did. Something snapped in the Republican party, around 1994 - with the Gingrich revolution, and all that. Trump completes the morphing of the Republican party from being the party of investors and technocrats, and educated people in general, to the party of populism.

Some workers have actually benefited from automation. Scientists, for example, can now do more research, and publish more papers. Or is that not considered to be "real work"?

He represents a Third Force in American politics: a "nationalist, populist" force that doesn't fit in with the open borders, multi-culturalist, globalist, interventionist policies of the main political parties.

I would vote for whomever is the anti-Trump, on matters of immigration and "borders", trade, nationalism/populism, culture, international cooperation and overall civility in public life.

We already tried that with Obama. He was the "cool" President.
I swore off voting for any Democrats or Republicans back in the mid-90s but Mr. Trump forced my hand and I had to vote Republican (for him). First time actually. I always voted Democrat before I realized both parties are crooked as hell.
