    "Just 36% of Americans approve of the way Trump is handling his job as president; 62% disapprove."

    He had one good thing going for him, the economy. And now the economy appears headed toward a recession. The stress must be immense. Maybe that's why he made the stupid remark toward the country of Denmark.

    I disapprove of the 36% that approve.

    Because we were still running on the Obama economy and now all the stupid shit Trump did is kicking in. Farmers are fucked. Blue collars working in factories are fucked. Consumers are fucked. The rich are doing good though.

    He shouldn't even be at 36%

    If this isn't what a one-term president looks like, I don't know what does.

    “He’s kind of a bully, but I’ve seen some improvement,” said Mandi Mitchell, a 38-year-old registered Democrat from North Carolina. “Our unemployment rate has definitely dropped.”

    Mitchell, who is studying for her doctoral degree, said she didn’t vote for Trump in 2016 but might in 2020.

    “I’m not going to be too hard on him,” she said. “I just think he doesn’t address America properly.”

    Yeah, but there's an anecdotal Democrat who said they might vote for him in 2020! So obviously he's gonna easily win.

    Seems to be alienating the voter-base which won him the election in the first place. At least the ones who took their heads out of their asses.

    So we created a couple more jobs for every hundred people. Great! If only the blue collar workers who voted for him weren't facing layoffs in the future, which will be a product of this ridiculous trade war. Companies will try and keep their fixed costs low, and offsetting the impact of these tariffs will mean workers losing jobs.

    And those who do keep their jobs? They'll be facing a recession anyway! Just in time for another democrat to come into office and try to solve that issue again.

    Hey, I was just relating a quote from a person in the article Lanny posted. I don't judge.

    Seriously....would Bernie beat Trump in 2020?

    I don't think he would.

    Easily
    I think any of the top four or five Democrats would beat Trump. Of course, Biden has the best chance.
    My favorite has taken a nose dive in the ratings while Biden has remained strong.
    He's not my favorite nor would I rank him in the top four or five of my favorites but he's popular with other Democrats and more importantly with independents and old school Republicans. Also, Biden is not Trump. Good grief, I'd vote for Pence if my only choice was between Trump and Pence.

    I don’t Bernie would win over moderates and independents. I think it again would be a case of those voting Bernie like they did Hillary.
    This country isn’t ready for a socialist yet.
