Six more years, Ha Ha
The reason Trump's approval rating is stuck within a few digits is because that is his base. He has demonstrated no ability or desire to grow support outside of his base. His approval ratings are consistently almost as low as Carters and how did he do?
Now if the economy turns down at all, which is a very real possibility, and he absolutely owns it, what has he done that any other Republican could not have holding both houses?
Supreme Court justices, what Republican would have done anything substantially different?
Tax reform, same question, though I think some may have been more moderate looking back at the history of tax cuts. Odds are very good that they will be rolled back shortly based on history.
Immigration, he has accomplished nothing other than to make the Republican party look mean, numbers haven't changed substantially.
Healthcare, all he has accomplished is to screw up what is there. No improvement and he left all the candidates in the last election scrambling, saying we will keep this, really we will.
There is a long list of things pushed by Bannon and Miller, that he has done that no other Republican would have, and are not in the best interest of the long term growth of the Republican party.
Have you seen the purported middle class tax cut, maybe that's coming with the caravan? Who's paying for it anyways?
He thinks he is surrounded by drooling sycophants kissing up to him, but they are actually salivating politicians, ready to spit him out before it rubs off on them.
If Trump survives the primary, Republicans are fools.
Never mind the general election.

This opinion piece has nothing to do with the subject of this post. It's the same anti-Trump babble that appears in almost every thread
lately regardless of the thread subject. It's the same kind of personal hate narrative that fills Magazines and editorial columns on a daily basis. I believe the intent, beyond the hatred, is to numb the public mind with vitriolic repetition. At some point, people get tired of it, limp with the idea of having to cope with it, throw up there arms, and are comforted by the thought of just getting rid of the weight of negativism, and getting rid of the man at the center of it.
Your previous post in this thread was more on topic, and it actually contradicted the notion that Trump is a misogynist, or that he is stupid, unsuccessful riding on his daddy's back, sloppy, an unfeeling psychopath, but it does point out some of his flaws, which every President has had their share of, as do the rest of us. Except for the prissy saints.

Talk about mind numbing repetition, what about Trump endless barking no collusion or fake news or pick one from the list of his all time favorites; really Donald we don’t need to hear your opinion a thousand times a year.

It fits exactly with this comment by dangles and all of it is correct.
"Much more entertaining watching the snowflakes melt on a daily basis. Six more years of humor is a real possibility without any viable alternatives in sight.?"
It's comical that you think it is vitriolic repetition, if so then what is "witch hunt, invaders, fake news, etc." Some call these things oft repeated by Trump, dogwhistles or verbal violence, they could also be labeled as vitriolic repetition.
Heather Nauert certainly treats the reporters with a different hand than Trump and what goes around comes around. Do you think she would take Sarah Sanders job?
I don't think he hates women, but is what the Brits call a "sex pest" not knowing proper boundaries.
And when you look at prissy saints, perhaps you could include Kavanaugh and others in that bunch for their involvement in the Clinton impeachment.
