I don't think so. EthanBlue Jun 2017 #4
If that is true, look at 2006 and 2008 Motownman78 Jun 2017 #6

It is hard for the vast majority of people to admit they made a mistake. Look at all the CYA in the workplace. It will take the Republican voter to feel pain before they change their minds.

And he's on his way. Bear in mind: this is still supposed to be the "honeymoon period".

I think Partisan politics are so entrenched that it doesn't matter how popular or unpopular the "president" is, They will vote Republicans. It's like some weird sport team thought process. I'm just so tired of fighting. I'm hoping to beat back the man and his agenda, but on days like this it feels like we're treading water.

approval rating. Or if he does something that affects the upper middle class like bad trade deals, another Iraq war, removing of pre-existing condition coverage.

... district to flip.

The only reason I thought this district was going to flip was because the number of minority voters I saw in some of the clips, I thought it was more diverse but its not... what the gerrymandering did was dilute the voting of some of the minority areas by including them in red areas.

fuckin bastards

Are among the wealthiest people in the country and it is easily one of the wealthiest districts in the South. These people didn't vote for Trump because they needed him to bring the jobs back, they voted for him to keep their neighborhoods white and keep their taxes low. They don't regret their vote, because they didn't really need anything from Trump except the two things that every Republican promises, a lack of diversity and low taxes.

But sadly those people seem to always that golden parachute standing by. They always seem to come out smelling like roses, while the poor and working class take the real brunt.
