Conservative: Liberals Still Don’t Get Trump Support
Progressives are forever predicting President Trump’s political demise, but his support has risen by 6 percentage points since late 2017. Asks Henry Olsen at The Guardian: How do they keep getting it so wrong? For one thing, they don’t understand that “the often virulent behavior of anti-Trump partisans” has made Republicans “especially unwilling to abandon their leader, even when he stumbles.” For another, Trump’s base is far more conventional than they realize. Indeed, more than 80 percent of his vote came from people who’d voted for Mitt Romney four years earlier. And, like any good politician, he’s made sure to give each group in that coalition “what they most desire.” This not only keeps him politically alive, “it might serve to re-elect him against a strong progressive candidate two years hence.”
Security desk: The Other War of Words in Iran
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s speech Sunday on Iran “stands as one of the finest moments in US-Iran relations since the 1979 revolution,” argues Bloomberg’s Eli Lake. The speech, “Supporting Iranian Voices,” will “resonate with a population that feels cheated out of the economic boon promised from the 2015 nuclear deal.” Moreover, he stressed that America “will focus on going after the regime’s unaccountable leaders, not the Iranian people.” But there’s one nagging problem: President Trump “loves to cut deals,” as he did with North Korea. And if Iran’s leaders agree to talk after crippling sanctions are re-imposed, will “Pompeo’s demand that Iranian leaders treat their people with dignity go the way of Trump’s declaration of solidarity with Koreans who have endured their country’s gulags?”

Flatten them.
The left doesn’t understand ... period.
The Left is used to the GOP backing down when they apply the pressure. Trump doesn’t do that. The more Trump stands up to them, the more they hate it, and the more people like him for it.
A losing strategy as Kavanaugh's appointment is popular especially with those in states having a Democratic senator up for re-election.
Evil does not like Good. And will never understand Good.
It's because the Left is always either wrong, or lying, about everything. Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.
They'll understand when they get the first taste of the baby Harp seal cure...

I don’t support everything he’s doing. But compared to the Left? Hell yeah I do.
