The question is whether Republicans will acknowledge this.

1. I have a feeling that to most Republicans...

78% is a distinct minority. A statistical blip.

2. MSM Doesn't Appear to Care!

Even the media (who SHOULD be caring about THEIR situation) keeps reporting on the stupid tiny minority of trump supporters WAY more than is justified. They are IGNORING the rest of US!!! I can hardly stand to watch the news anymore....they are contributing to the republicans agenda. They continue to normalize this BS. I want to ask them....what do the president & republicans have to actually do to make THEM wake up??? I fear that this crap will continue & I don't even have much faith in the electorate to step up in 2018 mid terms. It's really depressing.

6. Yes. I have noticed

how many of them get air time on the news. The media are trying to appear "fair and balanced," when doing exactly the opposite.

It makes me sick to see how those supporters think he is doing a great job when he has accomplished nothing except throw the world into a frightening turmoil.

4. Who the hell are the 22%??

Let congress decide? The GOP controlled congress? That's a laugh. And 15% of them are okay with that? FFS.
