Trump maintains support rates of 90% with Republicans because the ones that stop believing him leave the party. If it lasts, it’s seriously consequential.

I think this is happening in both parties. There are a lot of pissed off Bernie bros who aren't coming back. And the DNC's horrible fundraising is stunning. Tying themselves completely to the Clintons is wrecking the party.

Ideally I would like to see new parties come about, especially a centrist one to offset the increasingly extremist elements on the left and right, but that's probably not realistic. Come presidential election time, everyone will come back to the big two.

If I'm reading that graph correctly, it would appear that the Republicans are horrible people. Bush is president - "uh, no, we're not Republicans." Obama is president - "Margaret, get me my elephant hat!" Trump is president - "nope, no Republicans here."

Should be like me. Never join a party, then you don't have to explain yourself when the Dems do assinine shit.

The fact that people inside the WH are the ones actively fanning the flames on the Porter scandal, angling to take Kelly down with it, ought to cause a lot more speculation than it is. It’s not like this administration has any trouble with just dismissing bad behavior by men and moving on.

I am infuriated by trump's SNAP proposal. He wants the government to decide precisely what items people receive in food aid, and to force us to be stigmatized by going to a gov't location to pick it up. SURELY poor people are starting to understand that this piece of shit doesn't have their interests at heart, right?

Having been on SNAP myself back when my son was first born I totally get how important the program is. This is not the kind of people that I trust with that programs best interests.

So the FBI Director confirms that the White House has been lying about the Porter timeline, and today we learned that the administration has not asked the intelligence community to take a single step to prevent further Russian election metaling.

How about Sessions telling everyone we’re held under Anglo-American laws? How much more blatant can his racism be? You know, other than having no problems with the KKK other than they smoke pot.

If he simply said "common law" instead it wouldn't have been a problem.

Seriously tho, this will get spun into how the FBI is politically biased against the administration.

It astounds me that any ethnicity other than WASP voted for Trump.
