I'm guilty too - the moral of the story is to check. My error was responding to bou without reading carefully but I can't read everything bou posts - too much. (edit: and mixing results from different polls)

And to compare the Morning Consult/Politico poll:
Morning Consult/Politico poll
45% approval
Total Registered Voters: 1997
Dem 671 (34%)
Independent 646 (32%)
Rep 681 (34%)
Seems like a more realistic spread than this Pew Research one:
Pew Research
32% approval
Total: 1503
Dem/lean Dem 769 (51.1%)
Rep/lean Rep 522 (34.7%)
Destroyed.
And now she's ing triggered.
Not really - because my last post indicates that the 45% approval is probably more accurate than the 32% approval. However, I do acknowledge (again!) that I should not have mixed poll results. I feel like this has become a one-upmanship - instead of a nice back and forth with bou on a early Saturday morning.
No. The electorate is not split equal D/R right now. Look at the generic congressional ballot polls on aggregate since May and you will find a consistent 6-10 plus ing D. Take your bull somewhere else, nobody here likes you.
Is that your aim, Splits? To chase me off this board? You don't want to hear other opinions. You can put me on ignore.
delusion <> opinion
And I can't put you on ignore. You've set the floor of the intellectual bar here, for which others like Chris and koriwhat try to reach daily.
Then you should want me here - more to argue with, refute and mock. Else you'd have nothing to do but parrot each other, and the board would be so boring.
Trash leads a life of trash
Trump’s daily routine consists of hours of TV and a dozen diet sodas: report
A new report highlights Trump’s daily routine of “self-preservation” and searching the headlines for his name
the president's daily routines, which largely consist of hours of television. Trump typically consumes four hours each day, starting as early as 5:30 a.m., but will watch up to as many as eight on some. A habit he has previously denied.
He will also drink a dozen diet sodas per day, with each of them delivered with the push of a button.
"For most of the year, people inside and outside Washington have been convinced that there is a strategy behind Mr. Trump's actions," the Times reported. "But there is seldom a plan apart from pre-emption, self-defense, obsession and impulse."
"He feels like there’s an effort to undermine his election and that collusion allegations are unfounded,"
"He believes passionately that the liberal left and the media are out to destroy him. The way he got here is fighting back and counterpunching."
Trump makes several phone calls to Kelly each day, sometimes as many as a dozen, the Times reported.
The calls are typically about his schedule, or if he's seeking advice on policy.
The president yearns for approval from Kelly, and while White House aides denied that he seeks Kelly's blessing, they said Trump "views him as a crucial confidant and sounding board.

daveWeigel @WashingtonPost put out a phony photo of an empty arena hours before I arrived @ the venue, w/ thousands of people outside, on their way in. Real photos now shown as I spoke. Packed house, many people unable to get in. Demand apology & retraction from FAKE NEWS WaPo!

Sure thing: I apologize. I deleted the photo after @dmartosko told me I'd gotten it wrong. Was confused by the image of you walking in the bottom right corner.

It's amazing how Trump and his fans are so quick to gloat about someone admitting a mistake, while at the same time ignoring Trump's countless objectively incorrect and dishonest claims that he has never retracted.
"Diet soda has been linked to a wide variety of ailments, including
weight gain ( and weight loss),
dementia,
kidney disease and
stroke
Artificial sweeteners, like the ones used in diet sodas instead of sugar, have also been linked with changes in people's metabolisms and the communities of bacteria living in their guts, "
White House spokesperson Sarah Huckabee Sanders told reporters on Thursday that President Trump will have a physical next year at Walter Reed Medical Center, and the results will be released afterward.
Incidentally, Trump, himself, once called Coca Cola products " garbage" in a 2012 tweet

I study liars. I've never seen one like Donald Trump.
At The Washington Post, the Fact Checker feature has been tracking every false and misleading claim and flip-flop made by Trump this year.
I categorized the most recent 400 lies that The Post had do ented through mid-November
In Trump's first 298 days in office, however, he made 1,628 false or misleading claims or flip-flops, by The Post's tally. That's about six per day, far higher than the average rate in our studies. And of course, reporters have access to only a subset of Trump's false statements — the ones he makes publicly — so unless he never stretches the truth in private, his actual rate of lying is almost certainly higher.
That rate has been accelerating. Starting in early October, The Post's tracking showed that Trump told a remarkable nine lies a day, outpacing even the biggest liars in our research.
But the flood of deceit isn't the most surprising finding about Trump.
My colleagues and I found it easy to code each of our participants' lies into just one category. This was not the case for Trump. Close to a quarter of his false statements (24 percent) served several purposes simultaneously.
Nearly two-thirds of Trump's lies (65 percent) were self-serving.
Slightly less than 10 percent of Trump's lies were kind ones, told to advantage, flatter or protect someone else.
Trump told 6.6 times as many self-serving lies as kind ones. That's a much higher ratio than we found for our study participants, who told about double the number of self-centered lies compared with kind ones.
The most stunning way Trump's lies differed from our participants', though, was in their cruelty.
An astonishing 50 percent of Trump's lies were hurtful or disparaging.
The Trump lies that could not be coded into just one category were typically told both to belittle others and enhance himself.
The sheer frequency of Trump's lies appears to be having an effect, and it may not be the one he is going for.
A Politico/Morning Consult poll from late October showed that only 35 percent of voters believed that Trump was honest,
51 percent said he was not honest.
By telling so many lies, and so many that are mean-spirited, Trump is violating some of the most fundamental norms of human social interaction and human decency.
Many of the rest of us, in turn, have abandoned a norm of our own — we no longer give Trump the benefit of the doubt that we usually give so readily.

Similarly, I read an article about Trash's history of business deals. He played not only to win, he play also to penalize, hurt, destroy the other side.
The cruel, sadistic, lying, corrupt prick is the so-called Christians' choice for President.

Comments on the Trash-whisperer
Republican mocks Steve Bannon: ‘looks like some disheveled drunk who wandered onto the national stage’
“This guy does not belong on the national stage,” King said. “He looks like some drunk that wandered on to the national stage.
I consider myself a conservative Republican.
I consider myself an Irish Catholic, and he parades himself out there with his weird alt-right views.
And to me it’s demeaning the whole government and political process.
This summer I called on the president to fire him from the White House.
And I think, last night, in Alabama — it wasn’t just
a political statement it was a revulsion by people at his style, at his type of divisive views.”
King went on to denounce Bannon’s positions on foreign policy and encouragement toward racial divisions.
“Last night’s election was a revulsion by the American people,” King concluded.
https://www.rawstory.com/2017/12/rep...e+Raw+Story%29
NOW extreme right wing Catholic King (Iowa King asshole is also a Catholic) comes out against Bannon,
only AFTER Bannon got his balls kicked, but why not BEFORE Bannon lost?
