Six more years, Ha Ha
The reason Trump's approval rating is stuck within a few digits is because that is his base. He has demonstrated no ability or desire to grow support outside of his base. His approval ratings are consistently almost as low as Carters and how did he do?
Now if the economy turns down at all, which is a very real possibility, and he absolutely owns it, what has he done that any other Republican could not have holding both houses?
Supreme Court justices, what Republican would have done anything substantially different?
Tax reform, same question, though I think some may have been more moderate looking back at the history of tax cuts. Odds are very good that they will be rolled back shortly based on history.
Immigration, he has accomplished nothing other than to make the Republican party look mean, numbers haven't changed substantially.
Healthcare, all he has accomplished is to screw up what is there. No improvement and he left all the candidates in the last election scrambling, saying we will keep this, really we will.
There is a long list of things pushed by Bannon and Miller, that he has done that no other Republican would have, and are not in the best interest of the long term growth of the Republican party.
Have you seen the purported middle class tax cut, maybe that's coming with the caravan? Who's paying for it anyways?
He thinks he is surrounded by drooling sycophants kissing up to him, but they are actually salivating politicians, ready to spit him out before it rubs off on them.
If Trump survives the primary, Republicans are fools.
Never mind the general election.

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?
