All polls are accurate. But some don't count.

Today, likely voters gave Trump a 51% approval and 47% disapproval.
If 47% is all the disapproval NeverTrumpers can muster up, then they are going to fail miserably.

He's never been of this world. He was spouting how successful his Casinos were when they went broke. He spouted the the Central Park Five were guilty back in the daze. He spouted about Obama not being born here.

I mean....he has absolutely no connection to reality.

When you think about it, here is a person who seems to have two basic choices.....

1. Leave the office at the end of his term....certainly a smart thing to do normally. But, if he does so, chances are he'll be indicted and tried and probably convicted of various things. So he can't do that.

2. Try to retain the office so he can continue to have immunity.....in which case he basically dies in office or relatively soon afterwards (given his DNA and size, diet, age, etc.). If the other party continues to dominate the House, there would probably be endless investigations and probably impeachment hearings.

There is no choice #3. He can't go build Habitat for Humanity houses or relax or do "normal" things.

In effect, he's a caged beast. There is no happy ending except for his passing before he pays the price for many of his actions.

That's my guess anyway...looking at the obvious. Sad, actually...not for him (he certainly doesn't deserve good things after his life), but for the country and the world.

Pay attention. There may be a pop test.

Lol. True. Probably why he’s never called the FBI before... and never will. Don’t worry. I’m sure they’ll be calling him someday soon though.

President Donald Trump may not alert the FBI if foreign governments offered damaging information against his 2020 rivals during the upcoming presidential race, he said, despite the deluge of investigations stemming from his campaign's interactions with Russians during the 2016 campaign.

Asked by ABC News Chief Anchor George Stephanopoulos in the Oval Office on Wednesday whether his campaign would accept such information from foreigners -- such as China or Russia -- or hand it over the FBI, Trump said, "I think maybe you do both."

This is the dumbest argument I’ve ever heard. It would be political malpractice not to accept dirt on your opponent, candidates spending hundreds of millions on oppo research. Hillary Clinton goes around the world selling access you think if one of her dictator buddies offered her dirt on Trump she would have declined and alerted the FBI? You think Joe Biden is going to alert Trumps FBI if some dictator tells him a rumor about Trump? Not a chance in hell. Clinton was paying people to go around to foreign governments and gather dirt.

LOL....it just goes on and on, always in his head and focused upon how he appears, denying and fighting back...while we have no one truly leading the country.

Biden, Hillary and even GOP politicians like Graham and Romney know it's NOT OK to seek or accept dirt from foreign people or gov't. It's illegal, it's treasonous! If Hillary had done that, there would have been investigations into her. And why is it that an investigation didn't happen despite the GOP controlling all 3 branches of the gov't for the past 2 years?!? Huh? FAKE NEWS!

The real questions are:

- Are YOU trying to normalize treasonous acts?

- What banana republic do you come from?

- Are you aware that Trump just admitted that he would be open to "colluding" with a foreign power to win the presidency again? THAT was the whole point of the Mueller investigation!
