what America thinks of Trump

It far more accurate than the polls they keep taking that consist of only people who still answer their phone when telemarketers call.

Republicans now have a choice to make, do they go all out to protect a criminal who will lose in November and be indicted anyway, or do they choose self preservation and try to salvage what's left of the GOP and begin rebuilding.

And the next election they all face is a GOP primary. That will overwhelm any other rational or value-based considerations.

Trump and FOXNews have got the Repuke masses fully indoctrinated into the cult of Trump-personality. GOPers will stick with Trump until their primaries are over (at minimum, if not forever).

The KY Gov. was very unpopular and the Kentuckians voted him OUT! Dt didn't help him at all. If you listen to the reports of different people from Va, that State has been turning against Pugs for quite a while.

You're right that several State houses & senates flipped, but I haven't seen much else to indicate a WAVE of voters are against DT, YET.

I keep my fingers crossed though.
