"President Trump is cutting regulations and despite all the hysteria to the contrary he is actually reducing the administrative powers of the executive branch and shrinking the size of many agencies."

Indeed. President Trump's judicial appointments are also great compared to what we would have had with a HRC victory. Leftists are all about curtailing personal freedom and eroding the Bill of Rights.

I have mostly libertarian positions on things, but I'm pro-military and want border enforcement. I'm generally happy with Trump's policies (note: not so much his behavior).

If Republicans can gain seats in the midterms, and personally I think there's a high probability they will, there's a good chance some real reform will occur in Washington - which is of course the real reason for most of the hysteria regarding President Trump.

By the way, did you happen to see that his overall approval rating hit 50% today...? ;-)

Bless your heart. Election history, with regard to the party holding the White House, strongly predicts the Republicans will have a bad time.

Yes, with the hilariously biased Rasmussen polls. Who the hell uses landlines in 2018? Not the average voter.

'Past performance doesn't guarantee future results...'

Trump has confounded observers quite a few times now, just sit back, relax, and enjoy... ;-)

Rasmussen also polls those without landlines. One difference from other polls is that Rasmussen polls "likely voters" instead of "adults" like Gallup...
