Lies about Susan Rice seem to be having desired effect, at least in Gallup polling

[Binders Keepers]

Trump experiencing a momentary correction. Hopefully Dem's can regain the narrative. But few topics get the Repug's as fired up as Susan Rice. And Graham-cracker's comments yesterday didn't help.

1. Like I've said before, propaganda is a very powerful tool. They hung the newspaper owner

in the trials after WWII for his pushing propaganda.

2. it's hard for a president to stay that low. He's at a whopping 42% approval rating. nt

7. I agree. Fatigue and general hopefulness will get him in the 40's nt

3. The Gallup tracking poll will ebb and flow

His support is not going to just crater and stay there. It's surprising how often people change their views on such a disgusting character like Trump.

4. Are people actually buying the lies about Rice?

This would boost him?

[Gman]

5. I'm now pretty sure the Rice story and other

similar stories are intended to set up a criminal defense that info obtained was done so illegally and is inadmissible in a criminal trial. That would allow them to claim exoneration and bolster GOP chances in 18.

Or maybe I have too much time on my hands.

6. There is no connection

8. After this, therefore because of this?

After this, therefore because of this (or as Larry the Provincial Latin once asked, 'post hoc ergo prompter hoc?&quot ?

[andym]

9. It's because the country is in good shape economically

and Trump hasn't had any major miscues in more than a week.

[Wellstone ruled]

10. The Public is in overload moad right know.

Remember,Trump's voter base lacks the basic instincts of wanting to know the real story.

Next,we have a Load Mouth White Guy attacking a extremely smart African-American Woman with a false statement and his base being Racists,plays to their ears.

11. Same as lead up to Iraq war

Use a Whitehouse source to plant information in the media, then use those media stories they planted as evidence that what they say is true.

It's a transparent tactic, but most people aren't going to follow the sources stated in articles back two or three steps even if they don't just skim the words.
