Trump is shedding supporters like no other president in modern history - Doyle McManus

[DonViejo]

President Trump’s poll numbers are bad and getting worse. He began his presidency on shaky ground; on Inauguration Day, only about 45% of Americans said they approved of the job he was doing. Since then, it’s been a bumpy ride downhill. Last week, the Gallup Poll reported that Trump’s job approval had sagged to a low of 34%.

Other surveys’ findings are slightly less dire, but all show the same downward trend. No president has fallen so low in public esteem so early in his tenure in the history of modern polling.

Those aren’t the only daunting numbers Trump has had to contemplate. (He claims he ignores the polls, but often betrays his denials with complaints about specific surveys.) The president’s disapproval rating, the share of Americans who think he’s doing a bad job, rose above 50% faster than any of his predecessors’.

He has created, almost single-handed, an unusually passionate opposition: One poll found that almost twice as many voters “strongly disapproved” of his job performance as said they “strongly approved.” And while Trump claims that his base of support remains impregnable, that’s proven to be a myth.

2. How Far Do They Have To Fall Before The Repugs Begin To Take Action....

to remove him from office?

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that Trump is destroying the Repug Party as well as our Country. They enabled him from the start and continue to enable him. No matter what he does they circle the wagons around him to protect him.

They need to be held responsible for this. Even if they now take action to remove him from office - they should suffer the consequence of losing both the House and Senate in 2018.

They need to pay and pay dearly.

On that Nov 2016 day that they learned that they scored the trifecta - presidency, House and Senate - they've squandered this opportunity.

With that power and the willingness to do good by the American People - Trump and the Repugs could have really done good things for this country. Instead - they went out of their way to do the most vile and outlandish things to our democracy.

The Dems need to drive this point home in 2018 and 2020. The Dems need to run a campaign against the Repugs - if Trump doesn't take them down before 2018 and 2020.
