Having conservative appointees to the supreme court is only a small part of running the country and keeping our country strong. A truly honest judge with a balanced temperament is very important.

Keeping our country safe is the most important, and trump is making decisions that are antithetical to that purpose.
cnn?

As far as people not wanting to mention Trump’s name, do you remember the vitriol that followed Barack Obama’s win of the Presidency? Sounds like some racism here...
Not in the least. Barack Hussein Obama was a traitor to himself and to our country. Black, pink or blue. He had virtually no experience of any kind yet he used all the pretty words to embark towards the white house< he used his ethnicity as a promotion to the voters quoting scripture, MLK and others. Raised upon white hatred in Jeremy Wright (a reverend no less) and schooled in socialist ideology he found ways to take us down and got millions to believe his pretty words were real......And when he got there he failed to improve poverty, failed to improve the economy and sold out the USA to IRAN with the nuclear deal and a cash bonus of 1.5B.

Van Jones was a bit player? He was the most quoted man on CNN because of his racism. Trump couldn't win because he was a better candidate or a smarter politician or even a superior man. Nope. He was white and that's why we voted for him according to Jones...... and that started the flames which have nearly destroyed any semblance of common sense in the democratic party.

Most of those are subjective not measurable.

..And there it is. Subjective stances on issues don't really carry much weight to Trumps base of support. We like numbers, facts and actual events on the ground....and there are as you already know millions of us in the states which support him.

There are no missiles flying over Japan

GDP is way up

Unemployment black unemployment and hispanic unemployment are at lowest levels.

The economy added 320,000 jobs in December.

There is a new Canada Mexico United States Trade Treaty

Iran is under strict sanctions and protests are growing.

These are real changes accomplished by the POTUS.

These and more will reelect him in 2020 in spite of all the yelling and clamor.

Let’s just wait and see... Many who voted for Trump are rethinking whether they want him as their President in 2020. Even very right wing Republican people we know are deciding they don’t like the job he is doing.

Why will he lose? Easy one.

Because now the country knows him.

They've seen the little man behind the curtain and experienced his ignorance, attacks and lies. Duh.

The people I work with are even more in support of his policies and him personally, His poll numbers are actually increasing.

Just wait until he gets the ability to build the wall. His base will electrify. You might not "see" it in the press but it will happen.
