111. If this is true.....

.....then the Democratic Party needs to have a national strategy of running against Trump in every Senate and House race in 2018. Trump’s favorable ratings are down just above 32%, and if they drop below 30 he will, if history holds, have serious problems governing at all, because his supporters in Congress will begin to board the lifeboats leaving Trumptanic.
My own litmus test is my 86 year old father, a rabid Trumpeter. He has not said much lately so I can’t judge his level of support, but if he bails I think Trump is done.

I just made up Trumptanic, but if no one did it yet, it would be a good political cartoon, all these supporters and White House staff jumping into the ocean as it sinks.
