Trump got no bounce from Mueller. That leaves him a narrow path to re-election.
NBC News ^ | April 4, 2019 | Steve Kornacki

Posted on 04/05/2019 12:50:52 AM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

For President Donald Trump, it may prove to be the bounce that never comes.

On the afternoon of March 24, the news broke that special counsel Robert Mueller had found no collusion between Trump's campaign and the Russians — a moment for which the president and his allies had been waiting almost two years. But a week later, Trump's average approval rating, according to the Real Clear Politics tracker, had climbed a grand total of one-tenth of one percentage point — to 43.2 percent from 43.1 percent.

You could argue, of course, that Americans are reserving judgment.

The complete Mueller report has yet to be made public, and the summary from Attorney General William Barr did note that Trump had not been exonerated on the issue of obstruction of justice.

Plus, The New York Times reported Wednesday night that some Mueller team members may be dissatisfied with Barr's characterization of the report, and NBC News published a story on Thursday reporting that some members of Mueller's team believe "the evidence that Trump sought to impede the investigation is stronger than Barr suggested."

NBC has a narrow path to operate in, mainly DC, NYC and LA. If they go outside that narrow path, they call for armed goons to accompany them.

Still no infrastructure. Still stuck with Obamacare. Very good economy. Good articulation of the issues with unfair trade and the absurdities of our border, exposing that both political parties are the enemies of US citizens. A declaration of the end of war on the Korean Peninsula would've helped the murky foreign policy....obliterating ISIS excellent, but still favoring some nations over others and still involved in regime change mischief. Should've stood up to traitor Ryan with his ugly budget; now President Trump is part of the deficit/debt impossible situation.

Bottom line....President Trump can only pull it off if the dems keep pulling each other further to the loony left.

I'm wondering if who we vote for will even matter. The nation just might be too far gone. JMHO

NBC also reported that there is a 97.5% chance that Hillary will be the next President.

31 Mar: ZeroHedge: 34% Of Michigan Trump Rally Attendees Were Registered Democrats: Parscale
by Tyler Durden
Approximately 34% of attendees at President Trump’s Thursday night rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan were registered Democrats, according to Trump’s 2020 campaign manager Brad Parscale.
Speaking on Saturday with Fox News’ Jesse Watters, Parscale explained that the campaign uses the phone numbers of attendees to look up their voter information.
“We had tens of thousands of registrants, I believe 34% of the people who came to the Michigan rally were Democrats,” said Parscale, adding “Almost half had only voted once in the last four elections.”

When asked if the campaign was still harvesting information on various demographics, Parscale said: “I’m harvesting nearly a million voters data information in key swing states every month.”
“That must terrify the Democrats,” interjected Watters.
“Yeah, we are - put it this way, we are four times ahead of where we were in 2016 and I plan on being 6 to 8 times ahead in data, that’s tens of millions of records.”

2 Apr: RealClearPolitics: Hispanics Rally to Trump, Boosting His 2020 Chances: COMMENTARY
By Steve Cortes
(Steve Cortes is a contributor to RealClearPolitics and a CNN political commentator)
Get ready for the anti-Trump “resistance” to go truly loco, because new polling data indicates Hispanic support for the president is swelling, a trend that could seal his 2020 re-election victory...

McLaughlin & Associates revealed that Hispanic approval for Trump in March jumped to 50%. This number matched the January Marist/NPR/PBS survey that shocked cynics with its own 50% approval finding. Even if those polls are too aggressive, February’s Morning Consult/Politico poll showed Trump’s Hispanic approval vaulting to a still-impressive 45%.
What explains this stunning trend? I see three key factors...

Steve Kornacki is the fruitcake who predicted that Hillary Clinton would win in a historic landslide.

The “bounce” is that more people polled think Hillary colluded than Trump. So after a trillion hours of lies from the media, they still couldn’t change reality.

I’m just facing reality. You should too.
Even the most Trump friendly poll, Rasmussen, which overestimated GOP performance in the midterms by 10 points, shows Biden beating Trump by 5 points.

Simple. The Dems hate Trump no matter what, and Trump supporters plan to “endeavor to persevere”.

Trump has been at 51, 50, 49 last three days on Ras.
He has been at 48-49 on Harris.
He has been at 46 on other polls.

His average has crept up for a solid year to well over 46 now.
By election day, it will take every polling trick in the book to put him below 50.

All irrelevant, because no DemoKKKrat can even come close to 45% in real polling.

People vote on pocket book issues, so the best argument against illegal immigration is pointing out how much supporting these illegals will negatively impact LEGAL citizens, and cause huge decreases in the kinds the bennies they now receive.
Take a page from the playbook of the Demonrats, and scare the crap out of people, especially the gimmedats who vote for them!!

Believe what you want, but it doesn’t make it true. You gloom and doomers are getting old. Biden isn’t beating ANYONE. Haven’t you been paying attention to the news? Groping Joe isn’t going anywhere.

…”Tucker Carlson was pretty critical of DJT last night on his show.
What if Trump doesn't want to be re-elected?”...

I really do not know why he would want to run again, or really why any decent person would want to run. America has been destroyed by her major institutions, through the benefit of time and the monetary success of a few who rose to powerful positions in our government and academia. They learned the skills of how to get and keep power as our children were educated to believe that socialism/communism was right for us, always calling it “democracy.” They learned how to be Santa Claus, which overturned the values which human beings are born to if they want to survive over centuries. You cannot allow narcissism to become the norm in your nation if you want your people to live free and to have the capable and the honest to rise to the top. Where is the servant's heart today in any of our institutions? All I see is the lust for dictatorship and tribalism, not of skin color or ethnicity but of ideas and power. The only hope we have of punishing those who have committed sedition against us and our nation is for the elderly in power, yes, the elderly, who have lived decades to get together, regardless of political party or anything else and to stop the madness. The waving with every social media wind that comes along has to stop. The invasion of America has to stop. Order must be re-established, governmentally, academically, and judicially, or we will be broken up into small parts and vulnerable to whomever is strong enough to claim us. The media is gone, trashed by the young who know nothing. Oh, they will learn, after the wars they started are over and they are left in pain and sorrow to lament and consider what they have done. Every day I hear distinguished older heads say they have never seen anything like how our laws are now being broken and how those who spit in the eye of legality get away with it if they are certain types of people. The revolution is on and who will win out in the has not been identified yet. May God bless and keep those who see what this is and what could be coming. May we have the courage of our forefathers and mothers and may better generations of people replace the lost ones in America today who have trashed the best system of government ever known to man.
