Pew Research had GW Bush's low at 22% approval, and Ipsos had it at 19% (lowest of any president polled).<br /><br />Now if we do our jobs right, we can get Trump in the single digits.bluicebankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06821812102554488543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-59940695733097180742016-11-15T14:21:07.618-06:002016-11-15T14:21:07.618-06:00My guess is Joey Joe Joe et al. are hedging their ...My guess is Joey Joe Joe et al. are hedging their bets in case the first Presidential Approval ratings in 2017 come back somewhere south of 40%.....and never ticks upwards over the rest of the year. It was Bush's 30% approval second term that led to everyone in the media to become "independents" and No Labels getting full funding. <br /><br />There is a lot of time between now and inauguration for buyer remorse to take significant hold. It is wishful thinking on my part, but Trump could hit the White House DOA. trgahanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04718897286384990852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-59230421022309578822016-11-15T10:06:10.668-06:002016-11-15T10:06:10.668-06:00Well said DG.

I think there might be some buyer's remorse with their evil creation and his mislead minions, who currently are showing all that they cannot enjoy their hopefully short-lived success, and instead continue to rail and gloat angrily against a weary and somewhat divided opposition. <br /><br />Just reported today, cheeto jesus continues to whine about not winning the popular vote. <br /><br />http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/donald-trump-electoral-college_us_582b103ce4b02d21bbca8624?afd1mjrn0bms7cik9R Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14150488267916316478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-64820475140955515282016-11-15T10:03:15.955-06:002016-11-15T10:03:15.955-06:00It just came out that Mike Rogers, former chair of...It just came out that Mike Rogers, former chair of the House Intelligence Committee has left the transition team.

In that capacity, I have worked a lot with State and USAID (and was a USAID employee for 6 years working in Eastern Europe and Russia after the collapse of the Soviet Union). Suffice it to say, this gang is going to be a total, probably spectacular fail in foreign affairs. Bolton has the advantage of having actually worked at State and also been UN Ambassador. The international community generally and State itself despises him as an obnoxious neo-con. He' was the Mustache of Hatred. Giuliani (aka poor wannabee Mussolini) has no background in foreign affairs and is just an uninteresting egotistical poser (for anyone in the international community). So he will be just another national embarrassment in what will be a failed Administration right from the start despite the enthusiasm of Paul Ryan.Jimbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13891331049535299222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-54613817536637620512016-11-14T21:03:21.479-06:002016-11-14T21:03:21.479-06:00Once again, it's time for an open letter to Sq...Once again, it's time for an open letter to Squint and the rest of the Brain Caste, with lyrics by Paul Ryan's favorite author:<br /><br />"You have destroyed all that you held to be evil and achieved all that you held to be good. Why, then, do you shrink in horror from the sight of the world around you? This world is not the product of your sins, it is the product and the image of your virtues. It is your moral ideal brought into reality in its full and final perfection."Neo Tuxedohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15455041641080873400noreply@blogger.com
