I would add though that Trump’s base is much more passionate and motivated than Bush’s. 

Sure, but Trump won an election with 250k votes spread across three states with an approval sitting between 45-50%. He's currently at ~41ish percent in the aggregate and is getting polls showing him in the 30s.

So yeah, when you win an election with 250k votes spread across three states while sitting at 45-50% and you lose 5-10% of your approval/support, that is *catastrophic*. I don't care how devoted the base is.

That's not rose colored glasses, thats just objectively looking at the situation. What happened last week is a strong piece of evidence as well

Republicans - 15 is 'barely legal'.. which to our uneducated friends means that Ms. Kelly is saying that it's ok, despite her claims that it's disgusting.  

 

"Barely legal" is the same kind of thinking that got us terms like "underaged women."

I swear to God, LaceyLou, the first person, man or woman who speaks to me, face-to-face, and refers to a 13/14/15 year-old as an “underage woman”, I will have a very difficult time not being physical with them.

When did decent human beings revert back to this mindset?  It’s beyond appalling but additionally , so very depressing.

Isn't 33% less than 50%?

but when only 45% of the people vote, 33% might still et you pretty close to a majority of an election.

I'm out of reactions today, but Like.

Did you know "Barely Legal" is still being published as a magazine by the Larry Flynt people? Unreal!

Man, is this ever ballsy.

 

Tell you what: if the courts see fit to strike down the voter-approved redistricting plan in California while simultaneously upholding all the legislator-drive redistricting plans in all the red states, we are truly good and ****ed. Because at that point everything will be all but officially in the bag for the Republicans to finally realize their goal of make America a one-party fascist state, like Nazi Germany or Soviet Russia or the Jim Crow South.

Getting back to the hot topic at hand: can I just tell you how surprised I am that MAGA has not simply dismissed the trove of Epstein emails Democrats have released as being a forgery? I mean, how easy would it be to claim that Democrats doctored the documents to remove Clinton's name and add Trump's? Red hats would totally, absolutely, 100% buy that, and it also would sow enough confusion in the marketplace of ideas that independents, uncommitteds, and apathetics would throw up their hands and bail on the story not knowing what to believe. So why aren't the Republicans selling that? And why aren't they releasing doctored documents of their own that removes Trump's name and adds, I don't know, Obama or Pelosi or Newsom or Jeffries or somebody? I know that's a complex job, but I mean, come on, Russia does this **** all the time. They practically invented it! Is someone in St Petersburg asleep at the switch or something?

Lol a deleted tweet

It must be noted that KKKaroline Levitt has not been wearing her cross during her pressers the last few days.  It would be interesting to see any litigation from the side of the administration over any of this reporting.  I don't anticipate it.
