Tregonsee said...: One of the very few areas where there is something resembling a bipartisan consensus is solving the illegal immigration issue. However roughly done, he has made the point that this is something which needs to be done, and that blind opposition has required using legal, constitutional means which really shouldn't be necessary.

FDR did something like this to get aid to Britain. Neither were good for the country, but both were necessary.; 2/21/19, 8:49 AM

mccullough said...: Luckily for Trump he will face a specific opponent and not Other.

The economy is doing well, the deficits are high, and there is no Wall. His argument against his opponent is they want to ruin the economy.; 2/21/19, 9:05 AM
Roy Lofquist said...: There's only one poll that counts. Sorry, Hillary.; 2/21/19, 9:07 AM
Tom Grey said...: Trump's approval is almost certain to go up when the "no-collusion" Mueller report is released. CNN & other media is already preparing Dems for the lack of evidence.

Those who do NOT want Open Borders will most likely have to support Trump and Reps, because being against the Wall will be, essentially, for Open Borders.; 2/21/19, 9:11 AM
Big Mike said...: @Roy, sorry because why?; 2/21/19, 9:12 AM
mccullough said...: The GOP and Son In Law are against The Wall. Trump didn’t have the focus to get the Wall done. He went along with Mitch, Paul, and Son in Law. Spent time on the Kim and Kanye Sentencing Reform Act instead.

The Wall is theater. Trump can’t get it done. Didn’t have the discipline.; 2/21/19, 9:18 AM

Old trick. Used to make weather (climate) predictions either drastic or benign.; 2/21/19, 9:21 AM
mccullough said...: McConnell is against the Wall. So was Ryan.

Trump ran against the GOP establishment but has just signed whatever they put in front of him and appointed their friends and family to positions.

He also let Son In Law push the Kanye and Kim Sentencing Reform Act.

But he’s not started any new wars like W. And he’s been semi-tough on China. And the economy is good.

So Trump will have a few accomplishments to run on as he pretends he didn’t spend run up the debt like W and Obama and is useless against illegal immigration like Reagan through Obama.

And he’ll have done good one-liners against Bernie it Kamala or whoever. Should be a fun election.; 2/21/19, 9:23 AM
narciso said...: Sessions was the most anti amnesty senator, I admit Tillerson was a bridge attempt to the establishment, Pompeo was good at the company now at state,; 2/21/19, 9:29 AM
mccullough said...: Sessions was lazy. The highest profile DOJ case under him was the college basketball investigation. Rick Pittino lost his coaching job. Like Ashcroft and steroids in baseball. Worthless investigations.

Pompeo is energetic. He flies around a lot. He might accomplish something. So far though he’s just obtained some mild assurances from China and North Korea. Those are worthless. China and North Korea probably will just wait out the administration and deal with the next one. That would be the smart play.; 2/21/19, 9:42 AM

mccullough said...: I’d appoint the governor of Texas as Attorney General. If he didn’t want it, I’d leave the position open.

I would not nominate or appoint some swamp creature like Barr. He was useless attorney general the first time around. Mitch likes him and sold him to Son In Law as a confirmable pick. So Son In Law made it happen.

Trump is a salesman but not into details or operations. Son In Law is into details and operations. And he knows how to snow Trump.; 2/21/19, 10:02 AM

"Interesting choice of y-axis to maximize the spread between the two, when the spread really isn't very big"

No that's a normal presentation of of a narrow range of data. Making the Y-axis the full 0 to 100% range would mean the actual data only covered about 10% of the chart and would have somewhat obscured the point-to-point trends without adding any other information. If the author had not prominently displayed the Y-Axis data division points, you might have a point. He did.; 2/21/19, 10:04 AM

Well that was grand persecutor muellers doing, wasnt it, he couldn't cross the tripwire.

If you are referring to the Russian woman who was studying political science in the USA and associating with NRA supporters, she was persecuted by Jeff Sessions' Department of Justice, not by Robert "The FBI Whitewasher" Mueller.; 2/21/19, 10:08 AM
narciso said...: So tell me who you would nominate, Whitaker was pretty good but they buried him in quick lime.; 2/21/19, 10:15 AM
Earnest Prole said...: Trump's popularity/unpopularity fluctuates within a narrow band and seems to have a hard ceiling and floor, unlike previous Presidents. Just when we're certain that will never change, he'll denuclearize North Korea, win the Nobel Prize, and become wildly popular -- but sadly his popularity will revert to the mean when he tweets something lewd about Ivanka.; 2/21/19, 10:15 AM
Bay Area Guy said...: I view polls as "soft data," meaning a rough snapshot with a high margin of error, subject to swing gradually or abruptly
So, I don't rely too much about them or hate on them either.

In my view, Trump already has solidified Florida & Ohio. So he starts with 260 EV, needing 1 more state to win (Wisc, Mich, Penn or Minn).

Virginia may flip too - due to moonwalking, Michael Jackson impersonator as Governor.; 2/21/19, 10:16 AM
Drago said...: mccullough: "Sessions was lazy."

Sessions was compromised.

No other explanation satisfies Occam's razor.; 2/21/19, 10:18 AM
rcocean said...: Trump rating numbers never rise much for 2 reasons:

1) He's under constant media assault 24/7. He's been getting 90% Negative coverage from the MSM. This hurts him with low-information voters who usually like a President if the economy is good and we're at peace.

2) The number of "yellow dog" Democrats is large and getting larger by the year. These people vote based on their racial/ethnic/sexual identity. There's nothing ANY republican president could do to win their approval - except resign.; 2/21/19, 10:21 AM
mccullough said...: Virginia is Maryland now. It won’t vote GOP again. It’s dependent on federal spending and victim politics. Highly paid lawyers, lobbyists and consultants who believe they will be spared from the Social Justice Warriors.

Virginia is as blue as Illinois now.

When the country crashes, they will be the ones hardest hit. So there is something to look forward to.; 2/21/19, 10:22 AM

rcocean said...: I don't know what Sessions problem was, but he abdicated his responsibilities, first by recusing himself and then supporting his turncoat DAG. We're had more focus on the DoJ than any administration since Nixon and yet Sessions was AWOL with the public. Did anyone even notice when he left? Things didn't seem to change much.

Even now, he refuses to discuss anything. He was a disaster.; 2/21/19, 10:25 AM
Jaq said...: Imagine if the press, just for the sake of a little variety, reported on the arguments for his positions and let people make up their own minds. But the Washington Post is convinced that they can kill democracy by keeping Americans in the dark.; 2/21/19, 10:26 AM
Drago said...: Bay Area Guy: "In my view, Trump already has solidified Florida & Ohio. So he starts with 260 EV, needing 1 more state to win (Wisc, Mich, Penn or Minn)."

I think we are going to see 200%, 300%, 400% turnout numbers out of solidly blue precincts in Detroit, Milwaukee, Philadelphia and Minneapolis that are going to be democrat by 99.97% democrat to .03% republican.

And it won't matter how those votes got there.......

Franken "Trunk votes" by the millions.

GRW3 said...: The thing that people forget about these approval/disapproval polls is the balance of disapproval. I warned people about this when they got excited about Obama's disapproval numbers. It's divided a couple of ways:

- People who think the President is going too far with his policies
- People who don't think he is doing enough with his policies

The people who didn't think Obama was doing enough to get us to his socialist future were not going to vote for Romney. The people who don't think Trump is doing enough to reign in big government and stop the flow of illegal aliens are not going to vote for whichever radical progressive that runs against him.; 2/21/19, 10:29 AM
rcocean said...: This whole Mueller investigation was insane. No other AG would've allowed his President to investigated for almost 2 years by a Special prosecutor who was given a blank check and almost no oversight.; 2/21/19, 10:29 AM
Lance said...: I don't see any significance in those numbers. The President's approval rating has been jittering in the 40-44% range since January 2018. We've seen two- and three-point shifts before, after which his approval goes on jittering in the same range.

What would be significant is if his approval climbed above 45 and stayed there, or his disapproval decreased to 50 or below.; 2/21/19, 10:29 AM
Drago said...: rcocean: "I don't know what Sessions problem was, but he abdicated his responsibilities, first by recusing himself and then supporting his turncoat DAG."

Actually, you do.

Sessions was the earliest established pol on the Trump bandwagon, and then, suddenly, out of the blue, went utterly, completely AWOL.

I mean like Bowe Bergdahl/LLR-approved AWOL.

Not just that, his disappearance coincided with specific, public, displays of full support for the Rosenstein and the entire Frame-up crew.

Sorry, that's not even a 180. That's literally dragging in another dimension or two to spin around in.

Compromised.

And now he has just disappeared........as if he were never there......; 2/21/19, 10:29 AM
Jaq said...: Remember when Wikileaks showed the Democrats telling them which counties to sample in order to get the most pro-Hillary results while keeping it invisible in the “internals”? Of course they drop this nonsense as the election approaches because even pollsters aren’t stupid enough to eat the seed corn by cheating when an actual measurement (election) is about to take place.; 2/21/19, 10:31 AM
Big Mike said...: Virginia may flip too - due to moonwalking, Michael Jackson impersonator as Governor.

It might, but more because of Attorney General Mark Herring who has been burning through state money to file nuisance lawsuits against the Trump administration. His office has done nothing to clean up MS-13, nor done anything else to benefit the citizens of this state.; 2/21/19, 10:33 AM
rcocean said...: I often wonder how accurate these polls are anyway. We can trust the election polls because we have election results to check them against. OTOH, how can you check the accuracy of a "Do you approve of the President?". You could get 80% approval or disapproval just by sampling the right people. Too many blacks/Democrats/liberals in the sample and you'd get a wildly inflated "disapprove" number.

Also, I wonder what the approval rating would be if you took NY and Calf Out of the sample.; 2/21/19, 10:34 AM

Donna Brazille’s book lays out a lot of reasons people might have leaked Democrat emails. In case anybody hasn’t noticed, there’s a war on in the Democrat Party right now. And half the party really wanted to drive a wooden stake through Hillary’s now almost imperceptibly beating political heart.; 2/21/19, 10:35 AM

"I remember the good old days when Mitt Romney was our candidate and only 47% hated us"

Funny! Nice quip. But the problem was Romney got trounced 51-47, after letting CNN's Candy Crowley punk him in that crucial 2nd debate with Obama.

So, many "conservatives" began to ask themselves, is it better to lose with a polished guy who doesn't fight (Romney), or to win with a wildman who does fight (Trump)?

1. Opportunity - He was a useful tool to use against Trump for the Russian Smear. Deep state was looking for anything, and Flynn by taking a vacation with little communication access, was an easier target to be smeared.

2. Chicago Way - Flynn disrupted the Obama Narrative, and was seen as a traitor by the Obama Administration

3. Revenge by the FBI / McCabe against supporting a sexual harassment issue.

4. Useful indictment against a Trump person by Mueller. With the amount of resources that Mueller has thrown against Trump associates, I'm surprised at how little results he has gotten. Mueller had to threat Flynn's son, to get Flynn to cop a deal. And bankrupt him with court costs. It's a Deep Shame on the GOP for not helping with the legal fees.

McCabe was the direct target of a lawsuit by a gal and Gen Flynn supported the woman in her charges against McCabe.

So, you know. No bias or anything with McCabe targeting Flynn. No reason to hand the case off to someone else.

Nope.
