In reply to the discussion: I am suffering from Trump depression. [View all]american_ideals
(613 posts)16. Best resistance: positive persistance
reposted from another poster who I thought put it well:
Trump is hanging on by a thread.
When Nixon got to high 20s approval the GOP turned on him.
Same here. DJT is in the mid 30s depending on day. He tried to intervene in AL Senate and his base didn't listen to him. GOP noticed- it's not Trump, it's hate motivating the base. So Trump can go without breaking the hateful base.
And Bob Corker is mainstream GOP who has turned on Trump.
Make no mistake - Trump is not long for this office. 6 months tops is my prediction. And Mueller or Schneiderman will jail him afterward, and take away all of his assets .
As Democrats our mission now is to work on turnout and against voter suppression.

Don't worry, that's just one reason why I'm heading to Washington near Portland. I can't wait!
