In this part of the US, people are rooting for Trump more than ever

Hey, I have to disagree with the hyphenated last names. Two of my friends in the homeschooled group got hyphenated names and that is because they are honoring their late dad (killed in Iraq) and they took their stepdad’s surname. Their dad was a hero save 12 guys of his unit.

Worse than that. I supplied her with these numbers in an e-mail two months ago. She never acknowledged them. (I also gave her numbers on IA, NH, NC, and FL). I’ve been posting these same numbers on Big League Politics.com and FR now for months-—any regular here has seen them.

A little frustrating for her to run this as her own.

BTW, note there are no hard numbers on MI and OH, despite being in the title. That’s because MI and OH do not collect voter registration data by party until a primary.

Dang. I’m in Texas, and haven’t seen a single Trump support sign here. Sheesh...

I've seen lots of them, and some huge ones, in central Massachusetts. Unfortunately, I'm forty miles behind enemy lines in Middlesex County. Maybe in Texas it goes unspoken.

Not one of Zito's best. Note that all of the "serious challenges" she cites are either Trump not accepting the media narrative - the "failure to condemn" the travesty in Charlotte, which in fact he did do - or Congress failing to do their part in something Trump promised to effect - 0bamacare repeal. People aren't holding Trump responsible for that sort of thing because he isn't. As for the "Russia investigation", there isn't really much left of that story but the occasional breathless "now we've got him" silliness that only political obsessives even bother to read these days. Zito's trapped inside the bubble and that's what it looks like in there, but it isn't what it looks like in the rest of the country, and that's what the story is about. I suspect we'll learn quite a bit more about whether that case is valid when the voters return to the polls in '18. Certain Dems appear to be looking into that abyss at the moment and they don't like what they're seeing.

Come on, does anybody really care about what shoes Melania wore to board a Houston-bound plane? Yes, but only as a source of derisive humor directed at the idiots who think it's a "serious challenge". You can't carry out a nine-month hate campaign in the media without the long-suffering audience catching on. Those "CNN Sucks!" signs are popular for a reason.

It turns out that the major fight Trump did embark on that is truly his own, an "impossible" war on the corrupt, hostile, partisan media, he's winning hands-down, the country knows it, and the denizens of the media bubble are in a state of desperate denial. Stories such as this are proof.

No. Liberal Arizona.

Best part:

Trump voters aren’t just changing their party allegiance, they’re crystallizing a new identity: as common-sense Americans bound together against seemingly hostile liberals who appear to disdain their way of life.

And the Democrats have done nothing to win over these voters, nothing.

"Common-sense Americans bound together..." I like that!

Remember when I was one of the few pre election who figured out what your plate meant. I kind of thought once the election was over the mystery would no longer be there and your vulnerability factor would rise considerably. The NRA sticker may be your guardian angel.

The fake news media are getting desperate. For over a year, they have tried to separate Trump from his base, with no success.

And this is driving them literally nuts. That I can tell you.

They thought for sure that a 24/7 barrage of anti-Trump hate propaganda would turn America against Trump and render his presidency ineffective but that is just not panning out. I would say that support for Trump is considerably stronger than it was on November 8th.

And I know absolutely nobody that voted for Trump on that day that regrets it.

Maybe in Texas it goes unspoken.

Well, near the big cities it does. Even in Texas, you risk having you house egged, or your car keyed, for openly supporting Trump. Further out, not so much.

Being a former Californian (from a socialist stronghold...Santa Cruz), I operate in stealth-mode out of habit. But even living in a North Texas college town I still see and hear more pro-Trump (and way more anti-Shrillary) sentiments than I would have expected.

God Bless Texas.

...even living in a North Texas college town I still see and hear more pro-Trump sentiments than I would have expected.

So do I, but I don't see pro-Trump signage and stickers here, such as what's outlined in this article.

I think it's telling that we conservatives don't overtly display our sentiments (like liberals do), even when we're in the majority.

I was so proud of my 21-year old nephew yesterday when he spoke up to a group of much older adults (mixed politics), saying: “I think the end-game of going after confederate statues is they want to destroy the Constitution.”
