I really don’t care about Poll numbers and the like because they can be anything they want them to say depending who is doing the polling and the reporting....

However I agree Trumps base is’t going to move from him. For me...unless he turns fully against his agenda, which I can’t see is going to happen... I’ll gladly give him another four years..he’s already done above and beyond for this country.

To me it was only less than stellar if you’re a new world order globalist neocon. I cheered that both of them in the press conference flip the finger to globalism and talk about the nation state as being best. And I like that Putin pointed out the money our intelligence agencies help funnel to Hillary from oligarchs in his country.

Trump’s base will never turn on him. NEVER, NEVER, NEVER!
(As long as he stays true to the principles of freedom and the rule of Law.)

The general theme of this article is correct. The GOP leadership has not understood its base for over 2 generations...

The only way Trump loses support is if he is viewed as no longer putting America First....

Trump is and always has been the only one who can stop Trump.

Trump’s approval rating was 50% just yesterday. It goes up on a regular basis as the moderate dems see what the far left socialist progressive dems want to do.

The dem party is now just the party of far left fringe and the militant anarchists (antifa).

And as somebody else here pointed out, our intelligence agencies getting mad at Trump for saying he doesn’t fully trust them, is like a wife beater getting mad at his wife for not lavishing him with praise when somebody asks what it’s like to be married to him.

I read the transcripts of the entire Putin-Trump comments, and saw not a thing to justify the media comments. Apparently that are basing their entire commentary on body language, because what was actually SAID was appropriately diplomatic from both sides.

Less than stellar performance with Putin huh? So the post and courier know what went on in the private meeting then? And if so, why hasn’t it been leaked yet? Opinion portrayed as fact. IOW, fake news. And, lies and fake news ARE the enemy of the people. Paging Jim Acosta. Pick up the white discourtesy phone.

Trump WILL have some faults. Who the Hell doesn’t?

It is childish of the liberals to hold Trump to a perfect standard but not hold Obama or Clinton to any standard other than being a Democrat.

No, you’re wrong; its not that the Party hierarchy has misunderstood its base, but that they have actively despised the base. McCain, Bush Sr. and Jr. and to a lesser extent, Romney would say whatever they needed to in order to be accepted in the Democratic salons (Bob Dole was a fine exception to this rule - he was hated and couldn’t care less). To this day, I still have liberal friends who love Bush Sr. - why? Because he was totally ineffective, appointed the skunk David Souter to the Court, dissed the base except at election time, and in private assured them that he was not one of “those people” who were the only ones who stuck with him at election time (and only because of the nature of his opponent and the fact that he had been Reagan’s VP, no matter how later disloyal to his policies). Have you ever heard McCain, Romney or the execrable Bushes tear into a Dem the same way they go after Trump or his base? Never.

Likewise, however badly Trump behaves, and regardless of the criticism he faces, grass-roots Republicans are standing by him and going through it with him, defiantly and without apology. They finally have the president they’ve been waiting for, and they’re not letting him go.

I believe a lot of Trump supporters are like me , right wing democrats who had their party taken over by socialists and communists and American haters, and we resent that.
As democrat Ronald Regan said, I didn't leave my party they left me.
So we vote against these socialists, communists and America haters by voting Republican. Tom

Trump is the first President with the heart and soul of a patriotic, common American man since Jackson.

We will never turn on him. We are him and we is us. He embodies the sound of the Republic in a way no human being has done since Washington

I am with him, unless and until he starts an apology tour with bowing to foreign heads of state.

[Luckily, I do not foresee that ever happening.]

McCain is esteemed for his service in the same way, to the same degree, and for the same reasons that Robert Murtha was esteemed for his service.
