In 4 years you'll be banned and long forgotten. It's going to be hard for you to get action here.

Before betting on politics consider how objective you are, and whether you can make an objective assessment of the probability of a given event.

Because if you can't then you are one of those ******s who was betting on Romney after the polls had already declared.

Markksman:

I think you're probably right, (i.e. high paying union jobs are probably not coming back), but it's interesting that Trump has been conducting a series of White House meetings with major corporate CEOs. (This past week the CEO of Alcoa emerged from one of those meetings gushing "how excited" he was about his meeting with President Trump.)

Being the dealmaker he is, it's not hard imagining Trump's "pitch" to these CEOs. He's probably told them something along the lines of: "OK, you guys want the corporate tax rate slashed, costly regulations eliminated, and the capital gains tax lowered - and maybe some other pro-growth goodies. Right!?" (The CEOs nod their heads "Yes".)

Trump continues, "OK, here's what I want. I want factories reopened across the U.S. - especially in states like Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan and Wisconsin. I want people rehired. I don't want to hear any more announcements about a manufacturing plant being closed and the jobs being moved to China or Mexico. You guys deliver for me and I'll put the heat on Congress to deliver for you. Can you guys work with me?" (Nods of "Yes" and murmurs of "We'll see what we can do Mr. President" all around the table.)

Trump's response: "Now get out of here and get to work!"

You just proved my point.

Why do I feel like I just watched an 80's drama where overly simplistic things happen?

'Trump troubadour' loses trust in president over health care: 'I feel betrayed'
"I went all in with Donald Trump, and put everything that I had, including my heart and soul, into what he had to say because this was the one thing that got me off the couch and got me out into the world and gave me purpose to go talk to these kids I'd meet," he said.

But the president’s support of the Republicans’ American Health Care Act made Moss lose faith.

"It really was just recent when I just all of a sudden realized that I've been duped," he told ABC News. "I can't believe that the man would even consider trying to put something like this through."

If he started killing people. He has killed no-one.

He would probably have to shoot someone on 5th Avenue for supporters to turn on him.

Oh wait...

Well politicians in his own party have already turned on him. It might be enough people who create a legislative gridlock for future bills. We'll see what happens.

The 37% of Americans who approve of him are the people that will never withdraw their support. Aside from an occasional fluctuation of a few percentage points here and there, I can't imagine his approval rating going much lower than this.
03-26-2017 , 11:32 AM
It might. The 37% Gallup number was before ACA replacement got pulled Friday.
03-26-2017 , 11:41 AM
I really don't believe that there'll be anything more than a temporary fluctuation in support. A small portion of that 37% might think poorly of what happened but once they hear Trump talk about how bad brown people are again they'll forget about this and go back to loving him.

Trump has dementia and is unpredictable. I could see him alienating another 15%. Maybe he finds a way to drive a wedge between Anglo and Saxon.
03-26-2017 , 02:23 PM
I'm sure his faculties have slowed like all seniors but no dementia. He's been acting like this for his entire adult life. In the 80s when the Central Park Five were accused of gang raping a girl, Trump wanted the death penalty reinstituted in New York. After DNA evidence exonerated them 13 years later, Trump *still* held his belief that they were guilty. He reaffirmed his beliefs after they settled with the city in 2014.
