We've seen a similar upward trend in Trump's #s in other polls.Every day that goes by in which people realize it's been over a year and the world hasn't ended is a day in which people start to approve of Trump. If he actually has a major breakthrough with NK, look out!Talk about lowering the bar of expectations!Talk about utter delusion=The Trump is Hitler crowd.

Also tie that into the fact that the Democrats would essentially have to purge the extremist elements out of the party that thinks the only way to win is to tout someones racial or class status and go "OH look a black person, Hispanic person, Gay person, transgendered person... don't you want to elect them? Don't you want to look enlightened and compassionate? If you vote for our candidate you will and if you don't you're a racist, homophobic, Misgonist, transboic Nazi" Of course that is a bit hyperbolic but seriously that seems to be the democratic strategy. Ethier that or run a socialist hack like Bernie who goes down great with millennial democrats who all apparently failed basic economics and history. The Democrats need a serious internal shake-up that puts moderate Democrats back in the reins of power. I doubt that will happen before the midterms. I think It's likely you will see little change in the makeup of the house or senate. Its really hard to tell because most media outlets are more interested in cheerleading for one side or the other rather than doing actually unbaised reporting and reaserch.

Quote from Mr.DeMartino on June 14, 2019 at 02:28:07 Donald Trump is a lying sack of shit
2013 - "No, dopey, I would not go into Syria, but if I did it would be by surprise and not blurted all over the media like fools."2013 - "Why do we keep broadcasting when we are going to attack Syria. Why can't we just be quiet and, if we attack at all, catch them by surprise?"2013 - "For the first time in the history of military operations a country has broadcast what, when and where they will be doing in a future attack!"2013 - "In war, the elememt of surprise is sooooo important.What the hell is Obama doing."2014 - "What other country tells the enemy when we are going to attack like Obama is doing with ISIS. Whatever happened to the element of surprise?"2018 - “Get ready Russia, because they will be coming, nice and new and ‘smart!’ You shouldn’t be partners with a Gas Killing Animal who kills his people and enjoys it!”
sparking a wat with out main nuclear rivial?
As opposed to not giving warning to Russia, killing Russian troops, and possibly sparking a war with our main nuclear rival?
Trump wanted out of the TPP, got his wish, and now after being isolated, and realising the TPP is a collective tool to reign in China, he wants back in. At some point his supporters must 'understand' that Trump has no idea what he's doing. Deal maker!

Nothing good is coming out of DC until either the Dems take Congress or a Dem president is elected in 2020. We do need to get tough on China--the Clintons and Wall Street (think Rubin) let us down there and while Obama did some work on that front he was hamstrung by regugs.
