    What makes you think he expanded his base?

    Trump succeeded at nothing. The economy is chugging along just like Obama left it. He has alienated our allies and is a laughing stock among world leaders. He is not vey smart so he does not cover his tracks very well.But he made the rich richer. that is a great accomplishment to rightys. They really like that. He will slash Social Security, food stamps and Medicare next term. just like the rightys are hoping for.

    Pollster: GOP base is shrinking

    Pollster Lee Miringoff said on Wednesday that Republicans are in danger ahead of November's midterm elections due to a shrinking base.
    "In addition to [President] Trump's approval rating, it's the damaged brand right now, and that's what the Republicans have to worry about," Miringoff, who is the director of the Marist Institute for Public Opinion, told Hill.TV's Joe Concha on "What America's Thinking. "The base is shrinking because there are fewer Republicans."

    Impeached or not, here’s why Trump is the underdog for 2020
    "...the problem for Trump goes deeper, Griffin found. The president’s fervent followers get a lot of attention, in part because they’re extremely visible at his campaign rallies. But that intensity actually cuts against Trump. Just about half of Americans (49% in the latest data) have a very unfavorable view of Trump, while 25% have a very favorable view. Looking at Voter Study Group surveys for the past four years, Griffin found that just 17% of Americans consistently held a very favorable view of Trump. That’s the base the president consistently caters to. It’s big enough to buy a lot of red MAGA hats, but it’s far too small to rely on for victory."

    Here is the economic slope since 1990. https://www.statista.com/statistics/...es-since-1990/ Where is the jump for Trump. There is none. Same damn slant.

    And trump is facing a demographic time bomb that wan't there in 2016 and minorities are fired up unlike 2016 that was reflected in 2018

    Exactly. Nothing's the same now as it was in 2016, especially the Hillary factor. How many times have we heard people say they didn't like trump but they liked Hillary even less. IMO nobody in the current candidates is disliked as much as Hillary was.

    Stop making sense. Cons don't want to acknowledge this.

    Sure, I know what you mean........
    "There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

    Trump is well on his way to defeating himself. We can simply sit back and watch him self destruct......)
