    "In 1972, President Richard Nixon had a 68 percent Gallup approval rating six months before Election Day and easily won a second term."



    6 months prior to re election Nixon had a 68% approval rating


    6 months prior to re election Trump had a 43% approval rating

    Nixon also had a 56% first term average approval.Trumps first term average is 40.End of history lesson.

  6. What I see are left leaning people whistling past the graveyard. You cannot win with a scorched earth protest strategy AND a weak candidate. In fact, you don't want to win with a scorched earth AND a weak candidate. By doing so you inherit, much of it your own doing , a completely wrecked economy, racial tension which isn't going to just magically disappear, a growing in strength in numbers domestic terror organization, Antifa, which had it's rebirth during the Obama administration and that should tell you they don't give a shit about race relations other than to use it as a tool working towards their objective. In truth, if the left had any brains at all they would lay this off on Trump for another term and walk into 2024 in a cake walk election. Of course, you've blown those too, so what do do? You guys are great at tearing shit down and demolition is always the easy and fun part of any job. The rebuild, especially under less than ideal conditions and a deadline to meet, that can be a bitch. Yes, you will have a deadline as the blame Trump for it all won't appease the mob for long. Good luck, you're gonna need it.

    That wave is about the size of the debt Trump has made.

    Maybe not, probably need the one from the movie Interstellar.

  10. You guys and your useless polls. Approval ratings mean nothing. The country by in large did not like Nixon. I know, I was actually there. No, the level of actual hate for him was not the same as it is for Trump, but none the less most people did not like him. They held their noses and voted. They did so because they saw him as the lesser of two evils. That same scenario is playing out today and while both sides have the same argument, our guy is the lesser of these evils, the one side, democrats, are now telling us that we must not only accept the violence and destruction, we deserve it. That and that alone makes this a single issue election, nothing else matters. If you, as the representative of the government are refusing to do the number one job which is to protect the lives and livelihoods of the citizens you represent, then everything else is irrelevant. Everything.
