According to an Iowa poll, 67%  of Republicans said that they would vote again for Trump in 2020. Again all I can say is wtf?
 

WASHINGTON (CNN)Two-thirds of Iowa's Republican voters say they would definitely vote to re-elect Trump if the general election were held today, but nearly as many say the state's party ought to welcome challengers to the President to Iowa's first-in-the-nation caucuses, according to a new CNN/Des Moines Register/Mediacom poll.

The President's strength among the state's registered Republican voters is clear in the poll, with Trump earning an 81% approval rating, a 77% favorability rating, and majorities heralding his choices on immigration, judicial appointments, tax cuts, tariffs and even firing his attorney general as good moves. And by a better than two-to-one margin, Republican voters in Iowa place more blame on congressional Republicans (54%) than on the President (24%) for the party's recent midterm losses.

Wonder what they've been putting in their water in Iowa.  Kool-Aid?

Am I missing something here? If almost 100% Republicans voted for Trump in 2016 (they're republicans, so they would, wouldn't they?), then 67% now shows a  massive loss in support for Trump.

^ That just means that the other 33% are waiting for Romney or Jeb Bush to return from the grave.

Yes, he does...That sprayed on hair was just bizarre.  

And the next two years have already begun in a way.

Stephen Miller's own family has disowned him. His uncle blistered the douche-bag, and reminded him of his Jewish refugee heritage. The policies Miller espouses would have assured his family would have never made it to the U.S., and would have died in German concentration camps. Stephen Miller would never have been born.

Anyone catch Chris Matthews' comments about how Trump could swing a deal if his kids are convicted, leading to his resignation?

I guess if Stephen Miller hadn't been born, 45 would still have found another creepazoid to espouse this kind of hate.  It is terribly ironic that he takes this stance, is it not?

I did...it's a thought, anyway, of what he could possibly do.  
I was happy today with Judge Sullivan's comments to Flynn.

^ didn't and will watch that David.. but if we we heard out of court today is ANY indication that is isn't just us.. you know.. the rational ones that are completely sickened by the gross corruption and .. whisper.. treason going on.

I don't think there is any kind of deal Trump can plead...  I think while we might want his head on a platter (since we can't have the heads of the millions of FOOLS that voted for him)..  the adults in the room. The justice and judiary side of our country will make an example of him.. and perhaps a lesson for our dear fellow Americans

Think before you f**king vote.

I think Udai and Qusay could well follow their father into jail.  As I posted the other day.. Trump is f**ked. The FBI has him and no one is going to pardon him.. Pence never would even if Trump resigned... and he can't himself.. and as we saw today with Flinn and that judge who laid down the law and a healthy dose of truth.. traitors that is what he was.. and what Trump is... and... those that abuse power and sh*t upon this nation for their own gain.. especially for other nations ....are not the ones that are going to get off easy. 

Trump will made an example of....  mark it and book it.

to follow on to that... and why there will be no plea deal for Trump

Trump will be made an example of....  That what we have seen these last couple of years .. never happen again.  As if the lesson hasn't sunk through for most.. suppose it needed some reinforcement...it isn't the crime... it is the lies and coverups that will get you.  

The crimes (as of now.. but with Russia still lurking and what Mueller might find) might be minor...  as of now..   simple campaign finance and not even commiteed as President ..  but what will land him in jail.. and with no mercy from the FBI or the judiciary are the ones committed while President. Perjury.. conspricy.. those are no minor infractions...  not to private citizens.. but especially the President of the United States.

damn right... Clap   Very refreshing to hear. a nice reminder of just how close to the line these fools are treading to ... treason... where they could and perhaps not just throw you in jail... but up against a f**king wall with nothing more than a Winston and prayer...

As a long time fan of crime scene investigations, its always the cover up that gets people busted. Few criminals know how to just walk away from the scene of the crime without trying to 'fix' it.
Of course there's always those classic Colombo episodes where he would try to force the criminal into a cover up action so that Colombo get more evidence.
