> Discounting the opinions of over half the country as morons is exactly the type of behavior that got him elected.

This is the exactly the same sad, tired take one hears from republicans whenever you disagree with them on any issue. Pick a random issue, you'll find a republican claiming "this is why donald won" etc.

How have elections been going for donald and the GOP since then? How about approval ratings? Seems like it's way less than half the country now. Less than a third, even. We The People are speaking, let's listen. After all, ignoring Americans is exactly the behavior that caused the GOP to lose elections and the people's approval.



My complaint is not with the approval numbers. Those go back and forth.

It’s with referring to half of the country as morons. If that’s the starting point for a debate it’s not likely to be a sincere one.


Nobody is calling half the country morons except maybe the president (more than half, actually).

I agree that it is not a good or sincere starting point for debate.


They voted to put a criminal in the white house. If the shoe fits...
