The stats support me.
Um, yeah, right.


2018 gave the Democrats their biggest mid-term election win in close to 40 YEARS.
Democrats almost never turn out in big numbers during off-year elections - but they sure did in 2018.
That bodes REALLY WELL for the Democrats in 2020.

I'm glad you feel that way.

We see it differently.

Have a nice weekend.

Maybe Kanye will come back to the White House and do another summit with him before 2020, who knows.
He never 'sniffed at 40%'.

I see it the way it IS.
You see it the way some outlying poll predicted it would be.

African-Americans voted against the GOP 90% to 10% in the 2018 election - not in some weird poll, but in ACTUAL VOTES.
Hispanics voted 69% to 29%.

Those are ACTUAL RESULTS. The way those minorities ACTUALLY VOTED.

So, yeah, I'll have a GREAT weekend.

36% is very close to 40%.


You lefties are hysterical.

It's also a BS number.
How'd they ACTUALLY vote?
Oh, 10% support for the GOP?
Who'd a thunk it?

Face it. Trump won and he’s wildly more popular than his haters predicted. You can spin that any way you like but facts are facts.

It’s funny - Obama is considered a saint by many yet his 3rd year approval rating was only 46.5%. You’d think a guy who the left describes as the worst president/human to ever exist would struggle to have an approval rating over 25%.

Whatever the left is doing just isn’t working. And the party has no leadership...simply a bunch of folks trying to out liberal each other while simultaneously alienating themselves from voters.

Absolutely. Even when we use the RCP numbers Trump is more popular then predicted.

Its the economy. Remember what Obama took over? Given that its a miracle it was that high. Just like given what Trump took over its amazing he has such a low result.

What nonsense. The left is doing fine, and just took record numbers for them in midterms. I'd say thats working pretty darn well.

Absolutely false. You let a guy described as the 2nd coming of Adolf Hitler win a presidential election AND have a mid 40s approval rating 3 years in (despite devoting ungodly amounts of time/energy into destroying him)? The party has failed. The message...the candidates...a combination of both. Failure.

Yawn. Midterms went well, and most folks are pretty happy with them at the moment. They haven't had any actual power to go after Trump what with the Republicans running the House and Senate. That changed last month, and they're slowly getting things sorted. Your argument is just nonsense.



As for Trump, a 40% approval rating is pretty dismal given the economics we have at the moment. And we're a capitalistic society, meaning boom bust cycles are a thing. So dont count on that staying here. Especially given the massive debt Trump is causing to do so.
