In case you haven't been keeping up with current events, Hillary isn't running for anything anymore.

You are fooled by propaganda. You are the one that is spoon fed what to think.

Trump was elected primarily by angry white people who don't read. Their lemming anger/rage is misdirected to all the usual scapegoats by our phony Grifter-in-Chief. Meanwhile, the top 10% and the major corporations (that run the country) are laughing all the way to the bank. Keep voting against your best interests.

Trump was elected by doers. Hillary and Bernie got votes from those with their palms out for government aid. If you aren't having a good life, the problem is yours and not society's. Good choices and effort look like privilege to the whiners.

Accuses the political left of being fooled by propaganda; recites the Republicans' Ayn Randian propaganda verbatim without a trace of irony.

Also, a friendly reminder, you have a demonstrated track record of being extremely gullible and posting known fake stories.

Are you for universal tax payer-paid healthcare? Are you for tax payer-funded college? How do you feel about English as a second language? Did or did not Bernie run on a plain fucking socialist platform?

I'm for universal taxpayer-subsidized health care eventually, provided it makes sense with a gradual transition; I don't think the US system is ready to handle a wholesale switch and that the first priority should be making the existing approach more accessible and affordable. I don't think taxpayer-funded college is absolutely necessary, but we do need to get away from an existing system that crushes people with years of debt. I'm not sure why English as a second language is important here. And Bernie Sanders ran on a social democratic platform. There's an important distinction that you're purposefully glossing over. He doesn't want to turn the US into a Soviet state, or even France.

I know, you were expecting me to be a mindless automaton, but sorry, I don't simply repeat dogma like you do.

Yeh, but they wish she was. They're pining for the grand mindless times they had chanting "Lock her up!" "Benghazi!" & "But her emails!"

They love taking a good mind fucking. Just love it to pieces.

I appluad you for even bothering. Slow has repeatedly shown he doesn't care though, so I stopped giving him the benefit of the doubt last year when he trolled for months.

The everybody gets a trophy crowd complains because they can't be part of the top 10%. The doers work hard to be part of the top 10%.

Aren’t you the guy who was bragging about his $70 a month from the tax cut? If so, I have news for you ... you’re not even close to the top 10%. I’d be willing to bet that many of the filthy libs that post here are.

Filthy libs in blue states are the doers by your criteria, who knew?

I'll just leave this right here. 47% approval rating - Wall Stree Journal / NBC poll.

"Hand in hand with Republicans’ increased election interest is a rise in Mr. Trump’s job-approval rating to 47%, the highest mark of his time in office, with 49% disapproving of his performance. That is an improvement from September, when 44% approved and 52% disapproved of his performance."

I’ll just leave this here - 538 average of 42.7%.

It is frankly hilarious how you guys are so desperate that you are bragging about majority disapproval polls. Hint: those are bad.

Yeah RCP average also shows a 42.5% fav and 53.5% disapprove, well within the range he's floated in since about May of last year. He's gotten a little bump in the past month or more but most of the experts seem to attribute that to partisanship kicking in as an election nears.

Also, IIRC, the last couple presidents that had 47%ish approval in the NBC poll at this point in their tenure lost mid double digits of House seats .

It’s pretty funny also that spidey has decided to highlight Trump increasing 3 points in a WSJ poll but has declined to mention that in his previous favorite poll Rasmussen Trump has dropped by four points, haha.

Oops!

That and WSJ has him 45-52 in this poll of likely voters. A one point increase. The 47 is registered voters which is not the number typically cited for WSJ.

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/fi...ine-point-advantage-midterm-elections-n922266

Among likely voters, however, Trump’s rating dips to 45 percent approve, 52 percent disapprove.

No matter how much you guys try and spin it, Trump is a popular president and gaining support. In today's partisan world where political agenda is put above what is actually good for America, its about all that can be expected by a president that is performing well.

No matter how you spin it, he's not as popular as any other recent president at this time in their term. He's wildly popular with his base, but has done nothing to bring the country together and boost his numbers beyond what they currently are.

Today I learned that in spidey’s head having more people dislike you than like you means you’re popular.

This explains a lot, haha.

Even his "state media channel" Fox, doesn't run his rallies live anymore due to the ratings dropping. His charisma is starting to wear off and people are slowly waking up.

It's the same shit time and again just sprinkled with more and increasingly outlandish lies. They are basically entertainment events like pro wrestling. Cathartic displays of impotence.
