This is what passes for deep thinking circa 2018.

this is a difficult debate to have because it requires defining what success would look like for Trump, which means settling on some counterfactual sense of where Trump’s poll numbers could and should be....

Blah, Blah, Blah, etc.,etc...

“But this is a difficult debate to have because it requires defining what success would look like for Trump, which means settling on some counterfactual sense of where Trump’s poll numbers could and should be....”

uh, yeah. right.

“counterfactual sense” = nonsense

“where Trump’s poll numbers could and should be” = more nonsense that’s so nonsensical it’s actually just plain ol’ bullshite ...

Reality is pimp slapping poor leftists in the face and they have no idea what to do. This shouldn’t have happened, they think. The country belonged to them, they thought.

These two guys sound like they smoked a joint before they wrote this.

It reads like a parody of Abbot and Costello imitating Cheech and Chong.

These people don't understand Trump or why his supporters support him so strongly. They don't have a clue.

They're just stabbing around in the dark.

Only 53% of (R)s believe that their president is being hosed by R. Mueller? What are the other 47% watching?

We finally have an American President acting like the President of the United States of America instead of President of the New World order and they think it’s a cynical ploy.

Trump has not managed to become a popular president. In fact, he seems to be squandering an unusually strong run of peace and prosperity. If Trump and his advisers are fooling themselves into believing otherwise, that’s a more interesting fact about the administration’s internal echo chamber than it is a convincing analysis of reality.

Talk about dead to irony !

When are these people going to realize that they are irrelevant...we don’t want them...we don’t need them.

Hey, Ezra from Vox, you are totally clueless. Trump is keeping the hostile press in "tabloid" mode in order to expose them. And he's a New Yorker. And a success outside of politics, and the first politician since Reagan to do exactly what he said he would do. It really doesn't get any simpler than that.

But, you can't see past your own echo chamber or believe that real people support Donald Trump. Well, we do, and his loyalty to us is rewarded by receiving ours. No amount of spin, negative stories, hand-wringing or outright lies by the media will break my spirit. And Trump is no GW Bush, so perhaps the left gets to lose this time around.

So stupid, they’re basically discounting Trump’s numbers against the good news that he’s presiding over. We’ll see how that works out for them in 2020.

The country is doing well, and all they have is the racist Waters and the corrupt Mueller.
