37% though. That's got to sting. This is someone who desperately wants to be universally loved.

None of the last 5 US prez' went beneath 49% at this point in their runs. With both Bushes having the highest approval ratings in the 70s and 80s.

He has a shitty approval rating even with a good economy ,imagine if he became President in 2009 during the Great Recession where his approval rating would be.
 
Today’s Impeach-O-Meter: Christie Endorses Mueller to Annoy Kushner

"As I've said (Bob Mueller) is an honest guy. I believe he will do an honest, fair investigation" - Chris Christie tells

Christie: Jared Kushner deserves law enforcement scrutiny "because he was involved in meetings that call into question his role."

He was almost Trump’s running mate, almost in charge of the presidential transition, almost not the most unpopular governor in the history of governing … he was almost a lot of things. One thing he didn’t almost do, though, was put Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner’s father Charles in jail when Christie was a U.S. attorney and Charles hired a prostitute to seduce his brother-in-law for the purposes of blackmail. Chris Christie definitely did do that, which is likely part of why he never seems to get those choice gigs with the administration that Jared Kushner now works for. And also why he, unlike a lot of other pro-Trump Republicans these days, seems to think Robert Mueller is doing a great job investigating certain high-level administration figures:
 
Some Connecticut parents reportedly pulled their kids out of school after first daughter and presidential adviser Ivanka Trump made a surprise visit.

Trump on Monday spoke to high school students at the Norwalk Early College Academy, a program at Norwalk High School that allows students to earn a high school diploma and associate's degree in software engineering.

The visit was kept quiet due to security concerns, according to New Jersey's News 12, which reported that parents who opposed the president's views were upset that they did not know about the visit.

"This should have been brought to our attention, although I do understand security reasons," parent Karey Fitzgerald told News 12. "I think we should have had the choice to send our child to school or keep them home."

I'm not understanding the direction the Democratic Party is on. Running off Conyers and Al Franken? Those are, excuse me were, two true blue guaranteed votes the party desperately needed. Now those seats could very well go to the republicans.
...if you think Conyers' seat is going to a Republican, i am not sure how deeply you've looked into this issue

Its funny to me that all these Moral Democrats swore by Bill Clinton but now all of a sudden they are puritanical.
of course, it's not exactly a principled moral stand when they throw Clinton under the bus... almost 20 years after his second term ended

Do you think the Dems could win one of 2 Senate seats for Arizona?

The GOP front-runner for Jeff Flake's seat is in the mold of Roy Moore by saying wild shit about Hispanics, blacks, LGBTQ, etc
it's all about what candidate the Republicans put up

yeah, isn't it weird how Obama invited people that backed his political agenda and yet Trump didn't invite the same people despite them NOT supporting him?

fuck Trump, but fuck Shannon Watts for acting like discovered an outrageous plot twist. but then Watts is afraid of anything other than people parroting her inane drivel

Jones appears to be pivoting to the right, as if he’s already preparing for a reelection bid in 2020. Tapper asked Jones if he needs to consider voting with Republicans — in the style of former Sen. Howell Heflin, a conservative Democratic senator from Alabama who was a mentor to Jones — to retain the seat in three years. “Of course I do,” Jones said. “I don’t expect to vote solidly for the Republicans or the Democrats.”
i'll say it: he won't live up to this. but it's a more mature attitude than "even though i am Alabama's senator, i will vote the way people from outside Alabama tell me to."

About Jill Stein - the way to solve this is to have less democracy? Plenty of countries have more

than 2 parties, America could benefit from a viable 3rd party
you are correct

however, no viable third party runs Jill Fucking Stein as a candidate
