Admiral's right. People should at least learn their lesson after spewing "I know it will never happen!" talk and then absolutely eating crow.

the difference is the amount of republicans who voted him into office in the first place that regret their decision and absolutely won't be voting for him a second time


Are you suggesting that the few Republicans who regret voting for him can't have their opinions changed over several years?

Trump can't gain anymore popularity within those years?

Making an absolute statement like that this early in the game is pretty foolish. But, then again, so is continuing to double down on Trump losing after he continued to prove everyone wrong.

"He will drop out soon" "He won't get 20 percent" "He won't get 30 percent" "He won't get the nomination" "He won't beat Hillary"

CNN made up the whole Russia thing. The FBI is working with the Clinton News Network to bring down Trump and his friends. This is unconstitutional!

Well, he doesn't really have any more room to lose popularity in those few years

if you seriously believe Trump has any hope whatsoever of getting re-elected, then you have no chance in life.

This. He might be replaced by another republican if democrats don't get their shit together, but I don't see him winning another term.

Here's a more recent poll on Trump's approval among Republicans
https://www.usnews.com/news/politics/articles/2017-08-08/trump-says-his-base-is-stronger-than-ever-but-polls-show-strong-approval-slipping
In the survey taken Aug. 3-6, the number of Republicans who say they strongly approve of Trump's job performance has dropped to 59 percent, 14 points down from February.

The drop is significantly driven by disillusionment among whites without a college degree, a group that was key to Trump's victory in November. In February, 47 percent of non-college whites said they strongly approved of the president's job performance; now, just 35 percent say the same.

When taking into account all respondents, Trump's strong approval in August is 24 percent, a drop of 9 points from February. Meanwhile, 47 percent say they disapprove strongly, a figure that has increased 4 points in the first six months of Trump's presidency.
...
Even it if decreasing in fervency, Trump's support among Republicans remains relatively normal, with 83 percent of Republicans saying they approve of the president's job performance in the latest CNN poll.

But some research indicates those numbers may also be softer than they appear.

A working paper published by Emory University suggests that party identification may be artificially inflating Trump's support among Republicans, in that those who previously identified as Republicans may stop doing so over their disapproval of Trump. The paper cites Gallup data finding a 4-point drop in the Republican Party identification since the election – people who the polls would "miss" because they don't track how individuals' opinions change over time.


tl;dr: still quite good, but it has declined since the election, and so has the number of people who identify as Republicans.

The documents included materials Manafort had already provided to Congress, said people familiar with the search.


So they didn't find anything he hadn't already voluntarily turned over, and this was mainly a symbolic gesture.

Been several months and hundreds of thousands of words about Russia, and still not one single, credible thread of wrongdoing. Almost staggering.

So Admiral doesn't know what "included" means?

And lol at calling a no knock FBI raid a "symbolic gesture". Jesus Christ.
