President Trump electifies CPAC crowd

Ask me if I like everything about Trump, the man, and I'll say no. Ask me if I like the way he expresses himself most of the time, and I'll say no. Ask me if I approve of his agenda, his vision, his goals, and I'll say yes.

If you spend some time on Rasmussen, you'll find that the majority of voters are with Trump on almost every single issue. THAT is your REAL approval rating.

Oh, the outlier poll that just happens to shoot Trump's approval 7.5 points above the average is the "real" approval rating, huh?

Okay. Or how about I just go with Quinnipiac which shoots his approval 6.5 points below the average?

You convinced me. Trump's job approval rating is "really" at 38%.

If they actually waved the Russian flag then you may have a point.

But they didnt, they passed flags with TRUMP stampe accross them in a attempt to push the bull **** Putin conspiracy nonsense

How are you so sure the Putin issue is nonsense? Because even the US senate and the FBI are not sure yet. You wouldn't happen to be a...(gasp!).... blind partisan, would you?

Nope. As of yesterday...it has fallen even further to 41.9%. It has fallen dramatically over the last two weeks. Look at the trending graph.

As of yesterday, the RCP average was 44.5% approval for Trump. Fox has him at +1 on 2/13 which is the latest input they have.

For your information, the election has been been over for more than 2 months.

You have to look at the dates the polls were taken dear. And you have to look at the RCP average of all the pools taken in the most recent period. And, IMO, you have to look at polls of registered voters to get any kind of grasp on the actual numbers. If you're asking the illegal housekeeper her opinion it could likely be very different than the owner of the house who actually pays bills and votes.

Aside from Rasmussen, all the major polling shows that his numbers have dropped significantly in the past two weeks. These are current polls, dear.

Rasmussen doesn't deal with outliers. They do their own thing. I would like to see an average of likely voters instead of just random polling. It might or might not be different from the 44.5% RCP average.

But again if you are honest enough to spend some time on Rasmussen and see what the electorate thinks about each individual issue, the majority is with Trump on almost every one. And again, THAT is your real approval rating.

You haven't figured out yet that you have been posting figures from last year's election? Tsk tsk.

That assertion is NOT verifiable evidence that the last five presidents gave the same speech for months after the election ended.

Why are you unable to back up your previous claim?

He's been president for six weeks. Good Lord.

The Russian reset was an attempt of Obama administration to improve relations between the United States and Russia in 2009. On 6 March 2009 in Geneva, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton presented Sergei Lavrov with a red button with the Russian text "перегрузка". It was intended that this would be the Russian word for "reset".​
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_reset

And there was the hot mic when Obama was caught sending a message to Putin that he would have 'more flexibility (to work with them) after the election.

And this:

The point is, EVERY administration has worked with the Russians to some degree. To unethically use Russia to hurt Trump is just hateful and wrong and this stunt at CPAC is beneath contempt.

Every administration has tried this. But THIS is the time it works?

I remember Obama's "reset" and I remember what the cons were saying then. Now, it's good to he friends w8th Russia because HE said it. Not the black guy, the God-Emperor.

I posted the link to the latest RCP average that is on today's website. I am quite confident it is the link to the RCP approval rating for President Trump.

and he is still giving his election stump speech.....when is he going to start acting as President?

There is literally nothing on earth he could do that would earn your support, so why would he possibly care what you think?

Did I criticize Obama for trying to make friends with Russia? No I didn't though I thought it pretty disingenuous, even creepy, when it was obvious on that hot mic that he was telling us one thing and telling them something quite different. Did I criticze Hillary for meeting with the Russians? No I did not. And did people trying to embarrass President Obama by distributing Russian flags at one of his speeches?

What I AM criticizing is the lefts hypocritical and mean spirited constant drumbeat that Trump is somehow buddy buddy with Putin because HE said have a good relationship with Russia would be better than having a contentious relationship with Russia. He has also been quite clear that a better relationship may not be possible, but there is no reason to not try.
 
When I read the thread title, "President Trump electifies CPAC crowd" I was thinking, "There IS a God!" as I imagined 15k volts running through them.

But when I realized the title/heading was misspelled, my hopes diminished. LOL!

So the message of the day is to fear Russian while ignoring the bigger problem CHINA. Russia is no threat to this country, China is and I am not talking militarily but rather economically. your fear of Russia has been engrained into you buy the leftwing smear machine and fear mongering. It is better to work with Russia on economic issues to negate the influence of billions of Chinese flooding the market. You want jobs and national security? Better embrace a better relationship with Russia

What does that have to do with you not being able to back up your previous assertion in post 77?

Seems that an anti-Trump plant was sent to CPAC to distribute those "Russian" flags with Trump's name on them. Eager CPAC goers no doubt didn't make the connection, but the flags were quickly confiscated. It seems like some on the left will sink to any low.

Russian flags branded with 'Trump' waved, confiscated at CPAC

So wait a second. An anti-Trump guy distributes Russian flags at CPAC and the crowd sees nothing wrong with flying them.....and that is supposed to somehow make it better?
