    And this is why you don't have bottom of the barrel elections like Trump vs Hillary. We've gotta demand more from our major political parties in the future.

    I thought the polls are lie? This must mean the opposite of those results are true.

    Damn, RL admits defeat, makes a post basically saying Hillary would win. I never thought I'd see the day, respect for taking L bro.

    What we learned from the polling the other day is that his disapproval rating has continued to grow which means he has less independent support. The other thing we learned is that the 38% of Americans who are die hard Trump supporters still are die hard Trump supporters who think Trump is STILL better than Hillary while some Hillary voters have woken up and realized she wasn't a great candidate. Not shocking. At least Hillary voters live in reality.

    We also learned that at 100 days, Trump has the lowest approval rating of any President in modern day history.

    The OP is coming here to do some sort of weird victory dance which I don't get. Its like bragging that Carls Jr. has the better Fish sandwich over Burger King's Fish Sandwich.

    Hollic is right here. Both parties have to be better in the future. They picked some crappy ass candidates. The grassroots Dems need to get more control over their party so they actually get a say so in their candidate instead of getting someone force fed, and the Right wing grassroots needs to stop losing their sh#$ and nominating a "Tiny Hand bigot p-ssy grabbing pathological liar".

    How can this be? Have we got tired of winning all of the time?

    No, it is just that polls are fake news.

    RL's logic.

    Polls in favor of Trump = valid
    Polls not in favor of Trump = invalid

    Is this the same poll I saw a few days ago that said 96% of Trump supporters would vote for him again? Big shocker... All that says is that Trump supporters haven't paid any attention to what's happened (or what's not happened) in the last 100 days. This should surprise no one...

    There's a thread on another pretty conservative bbs that I troll...er, post on that's asking what everyone thinks about the first 100 days, and the overwhelming sentiment is that as long as he's pissing off the media, he's doing great! That's about as deep as their analysis goes.....

    Or that they have payed attention and think that it's worth voting for him again for the SCOTUS pick alone. I'd imagine a LOT of them feel that way.

    The right wing nominated a yes man establishment candidate and lost the last two elections. They decided to go another direction and won. So who are you to say what they need to do differently when they just won.

    I would have a much higher opinion of Obama if he accomplished as much as Trump.

    I really do not understand why the Left has so much fear for a guy who has accomplished absolutely nothing. Considering their candidate lost to *Trump*, they should feel very very fortunate Cruz did not win the nomination. Cruz and the Republican congress would actually accomplish something ... and it would be much much worse than building a wall or reinstating Obama's temp. immigration ban. Sometimes less is more.

    I can say whatever the hell I want. Trump is a monster. Only an idiot would say it was a good thing he was the republican nominee.

    Most of the folks that held their nose and voted for him would have killed to have anyone else not named Trump or Hillary Clinton. A lot of them just hated Hillary more because she's been hated since the 90's and people don't even know why they hate her anymore ... something to do with emails now I think.

    Only the psychopath Trump fans thought to themselves.... 300 million people in the United States.... let's vote for THAT guy!!

    "He's a successful business man" (only he's filed bankruptcy how many times?)

    "He tells it like it is" (only he's a pathological liar. Just yesterday lied 17 times in a 5 minute interview)

    "He'll label China a currency manipulator and be tough on trade" (while he kisses China's ass with a wine and dine at Mar a lago and starts a trade war with uhhh Canada while putting a new 20% increase on our lumber)

    "Mexico will pay for the wall.." (actually you will)

    "He'll keep us out of war by being friendly with Russia" (while he bombs Assad and sends troops to Syria putting us at odds more with Putin)

    Should I go on???.... you guys really picked a winner. Hope you are proud.

    What makes think anyone else on the Republican ticket would have beaten Hillary? Donald Trump saved the Republicans from12 years of Obama and a liberal supreme court. The republicans should get on their knees and kiss Trump's feet. They owe everything to Trump.
