Remember that there are scads of people in this country who couldn't care less about what is going on in this country, unless it affects them directly. If they aren't suffering or having their Kardashian fix interrupted, they couldn't care less what is going on. Then, you have the deplorable base who are so enamoured of Trump that, if he wanted to eat one of their children, they'd get him some ketchup and fries to go with it. Not surprised.

I'll say it again, look at the graphs at 538. Trump's approval rating is basically a straight line. Garrett78 Oct 2019 #9
