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.
