I always ignore the conservatives like this on MSNBC. Fortunately Rachel and Lawrence are largely free of these kinds of idiots.

I put on CNN. Talk up Trump, reap the whirlwind.

"Trump's numbers going up? I wonder if that has anything to do with the restoration of voting rights to released prisoners, though I wouldn't have guessed that there were quite so many Republican ex-felons as to make a difference in the polling numbers."

Chuckie Toads Producer and Director. Most likely Toad's Writer. This is the Conservative Commentary part of MSNBC programming.

Her story of the Trump voter complaining that by investigating Trump they are trying to make her vote not count and Katy didn't push back on that either.

Hey Katy, what about my wife's and my vote for Hillary, our vote didn't count either. And our side had the most FUCKING votes.

So Katy, do I have a point too? Can you give us that at least?

just 'moments', here and there. Otherwise, she is ineffective and a push over for falling for RW BS talking points. Lies left to stand in her presence.

He always speaks in a very snide and condescending manner. I've known a couple of guys like that. Uggh.

He's a conservative writer, apparently for Washington Times.

I think a poll from ABC News/Washington Post came out over the weekend showing his approval at 40 percent, which is still bad, but it's the highest it's been in that poll since his first 100 days. Meanwhile, RealClearPolitics has the generic congressional ballot down to a 6-point advantage, which is the lowest it's been since the beginning of February.

aren't even significant statistically speaking.

The ABC poll was concluded last Wednesday.


He's cherry picking the data.

which tend to lean very right by their nature. You get the results you paid for. Let's be honest,ABC is a Disney Media Company,and Disney has and will always lean right wing. ABC largest single Affiliate Owner is now Sinclair.

WP/ABC news shows Trump approval up slightly

Two key points

1) approval ratings don't show the intensity of feeling and all polls show much greater motivation on the Democratic side

2) The generic numbers will go up and down but the key point is, like we have seen with the special elections so far, the number and quality of Democratic candidates are not generic, they are very good candidates.

You don't need polls to understand that. Outrageous becomes less outrageous and begins to blend, unless it is fortified by even more outrageous than ever.

Trump is certainly capable of that. But if he merely remains in his typical range of lies and crookedness the nation will steadily be more accepting.

Obviously there's the wild card of the Mueller investigation and other legal matters.

Overall I still wish I could have pushed that button last November and frozen Trump's approval rating and our midterm prospects where they were, and not subject to one more year of acclimation.
