No I didn't. My point was about republicans because it's a growing trend and not the norm. It is also top republicans who head committees who are going. A trend in 2018 that led to a blue wave. A wave you still call fake news.

In all, 18 GOP House members and four senators are forgoing reelection next year without declaring their candidacy for another office, while just six Democrats in the House and one in the Senate are retiring outright. The trend mirrors 2018, when more than two dozen Republicans retired ahead of the midterms, foreshadowing the blue wave that swept in a Democratic majority.

Trump approval among women hits lowest point in more than a year: poll

The new nationwide survey found that just 37 percent of women said they approve of the job Trump is doing as president, while 63 percent said they disapprove.

And 37 percent of women, apparently.

Why are you smugly satisfied with 37%? There are reasons why it is 37%, not 50%, and dropping steadily, every election:

Two documents produced after Mitt Romney’s loss in 2012 and before Trump’s election in 2016 lay out the stakes and the choice. After Romney’s stinging defeat in the presidential election, the Republican National Committee decided that if it held to its course, it was destined for political exile. It issued a report calling on the GOP to do more to win over “Hispanics, Asian and Pacific Islanders, African Americans, Indian Americans, Native Americans, women, and youths.” There was an edge of panic in that recommendation; those groups accounted for nearly three-quarters of the ballots cast in 2012. “Unless the RNC gets serious about tackling this problem, we will lose future elections,” the report warned. “The data demonstrates this.”

But it wasn’t just the pragmatists within the GOP who felt this panic. In the most influential declaration of right-wing support for Trumpism, the conservative writer Michael Anton declared in the Claremont Review of Books that “2016 is the Flight 93 election: charge the cockpit or you die.” His cry of despair offered a bleak echo of the RNC’s demographic analysis. “If you haven’t noticed, our side has been losing consistently since 1988,” he wrote, averring that “the deck is stacked overwhelmingly against us.” He blamed “the ceaseless importation of Third World foreigners,” which had placed Democrats “on the cusp of a permanent victory that will forever obviate [their] need to pretend to respect democratic and constitutional niceties.”

The Republican Party faced a choice between these two competing visions in the last presidential election. The post-2012 report defined the GOP ideologically, urging its leaders to reach out to new groups, emphasize the values they had in common, and rebuild the party into an organization capable of winning a majority of the votes in a presidential race. Anton’s essay, by contrast, defined the party as the defender of “a people, a civilization” threatened by America’s growing diversity. The GOP’s efforts to broaden its coalition, he thundered, were an abject surrender. If it lost the next election, conservatives would be subjected to “vindictive persecution against resistance and dissent.”

Anton and some 63 million other Americans charged the cockpit. The standard-bearers of the Republican Party were vanquished by a candidate who had never spent a day in public office, and who oozed disdain for democratic processes. Instead of reaching out to a diversifying electorate, Donald Trump doubled down on core Republican constituencies, promising to protect them from a culture and a polity that, he said, were turning against them.

Don't care.

I'm not a Republican fan. I'm just a Trump fan.



I also don't buy any of the polls either, since their methodology is ideologically driven. I only look at the aggregate. While it's still not legitimate, you can view general trends by watching it.

Trump is just like you. Reality is what he says it is: "Trump claims millions voted illegally in presidential poll"

Years have passed and Trump's election investigation found nothing to back Trump's claim.

We'll see whose reality is right in 2020.

I'm 1 for 1 so far.

I agree with your take on 37% second. To me it is reason for concern for the republicans.

And yet, from the link: "Overall, Trump's approval rating dropped one percentage point over that same period to 47 percent."

Maybe you don't understand this - but if Trump's approval rating dropped among women, but held steady overall, it must have gone up somewhere else. Do you consider those people - whoever they might be - where his approval rating actually went up - to be a demographic that - somehow - doesn't count?

A billion flies eat shit.
