And there is no way that if Hillary had won and had similar #'s, you'd see me on here asserting that the polls were wrong and that she was secretly super-popular. Nor would I be claiming that her actions that drove further erosion in the polls were somehow a "genius strategy."
I knew she was hated. Trumpsters should know the same about their guy.
But they don't, for the most part. It's a pretty delusional crew.
Well Clinton is a professional politician.
Her style is smoothing off the edges ( saying as little as possible -but smoothness as do all politicians)
Trump is from the rough/tough world of business -where clarity and force to get your way is valued over style.
IOW's Trump completely upends what we traditional value in politicians.
Look at Obama -he's been dumping out Gitmo with some really nasty "high value" detainees -and not a word from the press.
Democrats also just get better press, while the MS press ( WaPo & NYT)'s mission has always been to destroy Trump.
All that and more adds to public perception - hell I wish he would STFU with his tweets-
but he does have a point he needs to get around MS coverage.
Trump's problem is he can't pick and choose his public battles; but that's him,and that's gotten him this far.
He needs to learn to use the Office and surrogate. So all this works against his perceptions.
He got some new jobs pledges (Behr) again and got Boeing to reduce the costs on the new POTUS airfleet
Did you hear about that? no -because the MS press is in the destroy mode.
So that's about where he is..but he still doesn't have reportable progess to point to -that only comes after Office.
o get a true picture we are simply going to have to wait to see what he does as POTUS
