Lol I don't watch any mainstream news channel they're all garbage. I do watch Tucker tho from time to time lol.
You say neocons like they're any different than the neolibs. Trump is definitely not a Neocon, and as far as approval ratings lol, they mean shit at this point. both sides are literally defending their post without any regard for the truth. Which s entirely why Trump won the first time.
The thing about the people you mentioned is the other than sanders. They're all apart of the same swamp that Clinton is from. Which will come out if anyone tries a serious run. Especially after the Mueller probe, which if you view from a non partisan perspective has done nothing but point out the swamp monsters in both parties.
Trump didn't win because people liked him. Trump won because people hate everything that washton DC stands for right now on both sides. Essentially the last election would have been Bernie vs Trump if the democratic primaries weren't rigged in Hilarys favor. Both of whom are outliers in regards to their respective parties
You also say that Obama was a response to bush jr, and that may have been what he campaigned on that is the farthest from the truth in reality policy wise. Obama expanded nearly every bush era policy that he claimed to be against, and so would have Hillary which is why Bush Sr openly backed Hillary. And so will everyone that colluded with her.
But let's get back to "approval ratings" please tell me you remember how Hillary was ahead in the polls the entire time up until she lost. Supposedly according to every media channel even Fox Hillary was going to win in 2016 until she didn't so fuck the approval ratings. Literally anything that mainstream media says at this point gets thrown out the window as propaganda list of it being on the right or the left because mainstream right and left are the exact same.
They're all garbage, except for the one that you watch. You know this, because you don't watch them. That's fair.
Trump is most definitely a neo-con/tea party Republican/Alex Jones tinfoil hat fruitcake.
Approval ratings are a historical indicator of election results. I would show you some charts demonstrating correlation, but you are probably unwilling or unable to get anything out of them.
I don't know what this "swamp" is that you poor hicks keep babbling about. I would guess you are just regurgitating some old campaign propaganda. If it is in reference to a percieved corruption in American politics, I would remind you that Trump stacked his cabinet with career politicians and corporate lobbyists. This is also the first time we have seen an administration blatantly engage in nepotism.
The Mueller investigation has produced indictments, arrest warrants, and guilty pleas. The FBI is doing their job to bring the truth to the American people and expose corruption wherever they find it. Ironically, the party that likes to pay the most lip-service to the law enforcement community, now attacks and undermines their work. We all know why they are doing this. It's pretty obvious that this administration has something very ugly to hide. That's why they attack investigative journalists and the intelligence community.
Hillary did rig the primary. The people wanted Bernie, but the Democratic establishment had already invested in Hillary. Had they not made this mistake, Sanders would have taken the Democratic nomination, as well as the general election. I could prove this with numbers, but your a Trumpist, so it would be a waste of my time.
If you can't tell the difference between the policies enacted by Democratic and Republican administrations, you are probably just not paying attention. Perhaps you are insulated from some of the more severe consequences, or maybe you are just too young to remember or understand. Let me simplify it for you. Democrats craft policy that favors the public interest and working families. Republicans craft policy that favors billionaires and corporate polluters. Democrats tax rich people to build schools and hospitals. Republicans tax poor people to pay for prisons and wars.
Bush supported Hillary for the same reason that many other moderate Republicans did. They saw Trump's childish temperament and lack of experience as a risk too dangerous to take, so they supported the more qualified candidate.
Approval ratings and poll numbers are two very different things, but I probably shouldn't expect someone too lazy to differentiate between Republicans and Democrats to understand. The polls showed Hillary winning the popular vote by four percent, with a four percent margin of error. In the end, she won the popular vote by about 1%. Those numbers fall in line with what polls predicted. Unfortunately, due to an outdated electoral college system distributing unequal voting power to rural voters and red states, Trump was elected even after losing the popular vote.
These are the facts. Do with them what you will.
