Over 90% approval rating for your all time favorite (I hope) President within the Republican Party and 52% overall. This despite all of the made up stories by the Fake News Media trying endlessly to make me look as bad and evil as possible. Look at the real villains please!

[unblock]

1. "Let's drive out that last 10% from the party! Who needs them anyway!"

16. And his supporters will believe it.

[oberliner]

17. Yep

It's amazing - he (along with Hannity, et al) has created a situation where his supporters don't believe anything unless it comes from him (and they don't believe anyone who says he is lying).
