April Ryan (American Urban Radio Networks) said despite President Trump's low approval rating we have yet to see any "kryptonite" that will "make him go out for the count." On Monday night's edition of CNN Tonight with Don Lemon, Ryan said Trump is "trying to find his way out," which means he has to double down with his base and "galvanize" them with positive talk about Confederacy and Charlottesville.

Ryan also said talk of the "forgotten man," is something that "strikes the chord" of his base of the "uneducated" "white male."

APRIL RYAN, (on Trump's low approval number): Well, they are very reactionary and deflective. They're blaming it on the Russia investigation. they're blaming it on Democrats. And it's interesting, Democrats who are trying to come up with some wins, particularly in the gubernatorial races in New Jersey and Virginia, they're blaming everything on the reactionary president for all the problems that we're having.

But this president is trying to find his way out. And he's doubling down with his base. And when it comes time to talk to his base, to galvanize them, he hits with topics that really resonate with them: the Confederacy, issues of race, the NFL with taking a knee or be it Charlottesville.

This president knows what strikes the chord of the "forgotten man," the uneducated or those who have not attended college, white male who feels that they're on the fringe and not touched by any form of government. And this president has reached out to them. ...... But we've not seen kryptonite yet for this president to make him go out for the count. He continues to rebound some kind of way.

There is nothing there, they are a part of the collective. No original thought, just group think and blind obedience. If they encounter resistance the immediately try the I’m smarter than you, just comply, when that fails they turn to rage and violence.
