We ignored the poll numbers in 18 too. Santorum is weak minded IMO, but Trump’s mouth does offend many people who have grown to like much he does. Many of those same people will not vote for him because of his mouth. We Trumpers will no matter his mouth. It is worth fine tuning his speech to gather in the prissy, wavering types of possible voters. 2020 is crucial.
What were Obamas poll numbers in 2011?
You mention people who will not vote for him because of his mouth, and people who will vote for him, despite his mouth.
But you arent mentioning all the people (like me) who will vote for him precisely BECAUSE of his mouth - I think there are tens of millions of us.
People crave honesty in politics - and the only sure way to tell whether a politician is being honest, is to look at whether they give a rats ass what anyone thinks.
President Trump speaks his mind and gets raked over the coals for it 24/7.
Obviously, when he chooses what to say, hes not going for public approval - so whats he doing? Hes speaking the unvarnished truth. He is saying things that people in power dont want to hear.
When President Trump starts choosing his words carefully, so as not to offend anyone, thats when well know he has become a DC politician and that hes finally tired of winning.
His fake approval ratings will go up, but the crowd sizes at his rallies will shrivel down to that of normal politicians.
I hope it never happens!
