36% equals America's Backwash

Today’s new ABC poll shows a SAD 😢 Trump job approval number of 36% deplorables.
This after a really bad week of Trumpie type fake news.
I think this is his low water mark.
No matter what else he says or does or what Mueller comes out with will probably drop it.

This 36% is total Trumper cultist.

That’s fine. That’s a number that we can certainly live with on Nov.6th.
In fact, even if he inches back up a few points, we are still good.
Would love to see it stay under 40%.

But, let’s go with best case scenario.
If he stays at 36% on midterm day, what do we get for an early Christmas/Chanukah/Kwanza/festivus present on Nov.6th.
I say:
A new House will have 210 GOP, 225 Dems
A new Senate will have 49 GOP, 51 Dems (includes Ind. that caucus with Dems).
And we flip a handful of Governorships including wins for Abrams/GA and Gillum/FLA. Woot!

And, I will be dancing 🕺 in the streets!
Your thoughts?

But 36 is the number of the day. I think you are totally right that 36% are Trump’s cult. If the normal people in the Republican Party put country over party, we will be ok.
