Don't forget. ?Half? the GOP would happily close the federal government forever except for whatever freebies they get which of course are always "earned."
lol where did you come up with that? The GOP has expanded the fedguv at rate as great or greater than the Dems. This includes all the welfare schemes everyone thinks they are opposed to.
See the budget for proof.
His core 37% would still support him if he lit a nun and a little boy on fire on the White House lawn with his arm around his latest fully naked mistress.
His hard core is about half that number who will march over the cliff with him.

Clarification: Their voting base, (not members of congress) especially their small donor members. IE farmers who hate welfare except farm support welfare.
A pretty spot on analysis of the Trump presidency. Rather than being an effective outsider, Trump has proved himself to be an ineffective leader. His perceived successes are solely the work of the GOP controlled Congress. They passed what they wanted to pass. His shrinking base will support him, but is there enough of them left to get him into the White House for a second term?
'The Harvard political scientist Richard Neustadt famously remarked that the Oval Office “is no place for amateurs.” This is because, as Neustadt pointed out in his book “Presidential Power and the Modern Presidents,” which was originally published in 1960, the Presidency is, structurally, a weak office. Its occupant has to deal with Congress and the courts as co-equal branches of government. Even inside the sprawling executive branch, it isn’t easy to direct Cabinet secretaries, agency heads, and career public officials, many of whom have their own expertise and agendas. Given this challenging environment, Neustadt concluded, “Presidential power is the power to persuade.” If a President loses the ability to bring other players along with him, he is lost."
...Bingo.
Persuade the Leftists and Demoncrats? Even if Jesus (or Mohammed depending on your faith) couldn't persuade the Leftists on anything. Whatever Trump supports, they would automatically oppose it. Even if Trump support whatever Leftist agenda, they'd turn around and oppose it just based on their hatred of Trump and Republicans. The problem isn't Trump, the problem is the Left. They want only their way and their identity politics guy/gal.

More than once Trump has said that he`s the smartest guy. He was comparing himself to his core voters.
Donald Trump is a weak, insecure man with a very fragile ego. He has been that way his entire life. He's probably so insecure because of his "little mushroom" situation.
That's why he acts like a 7 year-old child, always making fun of people and insulting women and minorities, because it makes him feel good about himself when putting down others.
