& just ponder:::if Soros & them hadn't gotten a big fuckin' hardon to take out Joe up the street here, and instead would've used that money and energy and hatefullness say up in the belt thats rusty, she'd be POTUS. Trump would be a gigantic rotten banana on the kitchen table and Joe would be like in county lockup if not in the AZ state pen...
Oh, what tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive.
Nate Silver discussed this and he had what I thought was a good point. During the primaries when GOP voters had alternatives to rump, if you looked at all the voters from both primaries, Trump got 27% of the vote.
When you look at the polls that break down approval into slightly/strongly approve/disapprove. Trump's strongly approves have been eroding.
The bottom looks to be at around 25% of likely voters. It's scary that there are that many fools in this country.
Just like the Iraq war Trump was for intervention in Libya before he was against it.
And ISIS wasn't just conceived in Iraq. That's where their power grew. Prior to the Iraq war that country had a secularist government. Bush's dumb war dismantled Iraq's government and the puppet government they installed gave the Shiites all of the power. The Shiites commenced with cleansing the Sunni out of Iraq and basically stripped them (civilians and military) of their jobs, rank, property and money. The majority of Saddam's army was Sunni and when they had nowhere to go they were dominated and recruited by Islamic terrorist factions coming in trying to take over. They started fighting back against the Shiite with our troops caught in the middle of a civil war. What do you call angry, desperate, powerless, and most importantly (armed and trained) individuals with nothing to lose? You call them ISIS today. ISIS was basically run by former Iraqi military men. They converted to radical Islam by the thousands when America screwed their country, plunged it into a civil war and destroyed their lives. We don't go into Iraq and the middle east looks VERY different today. There is no ISIS period. Republicans own every last bit of it.
Obama was actually negotiating to leave troops in Iraq longer for counter-terrorism efforts. Bush's puppet Iraq prime minister Al-Maliki said our armed forces were no longer going to have immunity and our troops would be prosecuted according to Iraqi law (and there was a lot of shit going on with American troops and Iraqi civilians that wasn't being shown). The Iraqis thought they had everything under control and basically wanted us out. They knew we would never agree to our troops being prosecuted under their law and played that card to force us out. Then after we left the Iraqis found they had nothing under control at all. Saddam's radicalized Sunni army came back and took over. The Iraqi troops that our armed forces had trained for 5+ years just rolled over and showed their bellies.
Trump is shedding supporters like no other president in modern history
President Trump’s poll numbers are bad and getting worse. He began his presidency on shaky ground; on Inauguration Day, only about 45% of Americans said they approved of the job he was doing. Since then, it’s been a bumpy ride downhill. Last week, the Gallup Poll reported that Trump’s job approval had sagged to a low of 34%.
Other surveys’ findings are slightly less dire, but all show the same downward trend.
No president has fallen so low in public esteem so early in his tenure in the history of modern polling.
He has created, almost single-handed, an unusually passionate opposition:
One poll found that almost twice as many voters “strongly disapproved” of his job performance as said they “strongly approved.”
Trump’s support among Republicans and Republican-leaning independents, while still strong at 75%, has declined from earlier highs, Fabrizio said. (Even Trump can’t dismiss that one as a fake poll.)
his less fervent supporters — let’s call them “soft Trump voters” — are drifting away.
