>>> Pollsters, pundits, and the media have vastly underestimated how many in America loathe multimillionaire celebrities, pampered athletes, and triangulating politicians—the usual targets of Trump’s invective. <<<

How could/would they?

Surrounded by their own circles, all they see and hear are like-minded people. Even if there are other ‘normal’ Americans sounding differently, this is dismissed as their voice are not as important as that from other more ‘worthy’ people.

“Republican senators who recently got reelected by blasting the Iran Deal, open borders, and Obamacare—apparently on the premise that their posturing votes would never really matter, given the likelihood of a liberal vetoing president? “

The GOP congress never wanted Trump to win. They’d have been ok with Walker (if you nice football fellas might just not kneel we’d sure appreciate it), Bush, or anyone else, who could have beaten Hilary NEVER. These guys never wanted the House in 2010, nor subsequently the Senate. Now they’ve got both plus the WH and soon the judiciary and majority public support leaving Hollywood and the Media in the dust, with Hillary running behind pretending it’s not all happening

They don’t know what do do. I suggest they put down the drink and get out of denial. McConnell did that yesterday. Never heard his voice so energetic.

What I didn't see in the article was any mention of Gorsuch.

Two more SCOTUS appointments and the nation will benefit for a generation or more. I am a part of Trump's base whose support will be practically unaffected by any other failures, most of which can be laid at the feet of RINOs like McCain.

VDH coming around at last. It’s been a hard road for him and he’s still a ways to go.
Like his ideality/practicality struggle.

BUMP
for a great read

One of the reasons why the luminaries of Trump’s team do not resign after his supposedly embarrassing outbursts is that they realize Trump’s outrageousness allows them to play the good-cop, adult in the room role, usually with media sympathy. And when a president is doing downfield blocking, others are relieved of the interference.< B> A Trump secretary of defense or national security advisor exercises power and influence in ways unimaginable in comparison to most earlier counterparts.

Victor Davis Hanson might be the best analyst out there... he sees the big picture.

Another 'benefit' to Trump's attack is it can elevate a person if it doesn't destroy him.

Look at Jeff Sessions - in one week he not only kept his job, he became a rock star with the press, a hero to the reluctant DOJ AND became more powerful in pushing Trump's agenda... Stopping illegal immigration, taking on the gangs, enforcing laws that matter to Trump. It wasn't an accident...
