    please take a moment to ponder Trump's hinting at executing the whistle blower.

    I would prefer that people ponder why the opposition can't get its shit together and actually put up some instead of chasing the scandal sheets. He does all this stuff and his support is as strong as ever.

    Hovering at ~42%. As such, you could say that his support is as weak as ever and be more precise.

      Don't believe in phony media polls. He still has enough to win.

        That will likely hinge mostly on the 70,000 or so voters who were his margin in three different states in the 2016 election.

        Given that there were 130,000,000 votes cast [wikipedia.org] in the 2016 election, that's a margin of ~0.054% of the votes cast.

        Seems like a pretty slim margin to work with. Especially when you spend most of your time trying to honk people off.

          Your ~0.054% is the margin between two tag team partners. Opposition is imaginary existing only in the voter's head.

          We'll just have to wait to see who is better at riling up their base when the time comes. Now is way too early. So far the betting houses are expecting no change: republican president and senate and a democrat house, with roughly the same margins to carry the bullshit through 2024.

          Without a real turnover all this theater is nothing but a farce.

        Don't believe random internet morons. You know, like you.

            Given that the vote count results of the election were within the error bars [cornell.edu] of *all* the media polls (despite the non-mathematical "predictions" made), you continue to show yourself to be woefully uninformed

            This paper [aapor.org] should give you a good place to start informing yourself -- that is, if you don't wish to remain forever ignorant. Do you?

              I read all that bullshit. Their margins of error are nice disclaimers, aren't they? Make then wide enough to cover your ass.

              You people are so funny, trying to deny you like being led around by the nose.
