    Just 36 percent of likely voters said that they approved of Mr. Trump’s performance, while 59 percent said that they disapproved.

    That’s still more than 1 out of 3. Still wayyyyy too high.

    But that’s at the Bush line (or the Dick line) or the Sarah Palin floor…unless something really systemic changes in this country, we are probably stuck with about that percentage of Americans being just that fucking terrible and/or stupid to support conservatives.

      NDP in Canada became the official opposition in Canada under Jack Layton. Some percentage of people just are drawn to decisiveness, and the dem establishment is just not that.

      My point is the floor is lower than 1/3, dems just don’t put up leaders who can crack it. Real floor is probably around 1/4
