Polls: Majorities or Pluralities Support ALL of Trump's Executive Orders

[CostinR]

This so called resistance doesn't know how badly it's going to end for them in the 2018 Senate and House Elections. No poll yet on the law and order executive orders he just signed but still.



On top of that.

58% of all voters want Democrats to find ways to work with Trump. Only 30% want complete obstructionism This includes cabinet appointments. This obstructionism on cabinet votes is going to bite all the Democrats in the ass: They won't stop ANYONE from being confirmed and it will blow up in their faces.

If there is one thing Democrats can learn from the Republicans: 8 years of obstructionism gets you the House, Senate and President. So why should they?

Republican obstructionism was unpopular, but in the end republicans got rewarded by it, so I don't really see a reason for them not to use it.

One thing they Demcorats should learn is that passing widespread healthcare reform, and doing it badly, after an economic crash and passing bailouts for the big banks makes them lose on every level.

80% of Americans loathed Congress for the Government shutdown and a majority found Republicans guilty.
A majority, over 60% of Americans loathed the obstructionism on Garland.

You think the Republican party won this election because of obstruction? May I remind EVERYONE who the hell won the presidency AGAINST the wishes of the party he ran for?

TRUMP

Rewarded? They got Donald Trump as the head of their party. If you think that's a reward for people like Ryan or McConnell you have no notion what you're talking about.

Because Democrats are not Republicans. The Republican base is loyal, shows up to vote and stable.

Meanwhile the Democratic base consists of the poor and lazy (yeah not all of them) and these people may or may not bother to vote.

My point? Things tend to backfire way harder on the Democrats.

In other words, they vote for identity and not persons or issues.

It's called "judicial check of the executive power". People need to understand that they don't live on an authocratic republic, the "so called" Constitution is there for a reason.

[PosPosPos]

"Still, Trump’s approval rating is sliding.

After two weeks in office, 47 percent of voters approved of his job performance, down 2 points from the previous week. At the same time, his disapproval rating rose 5 points, to 46 percent from 41 percent."

Oh dear.

This has to be the most important part. Basically, people who were previously on the fence are swarming in droves to show their disapproval of a fascist president.

They also won the house the senate and the supreme court will be packed for decades. This was of course a total win for both mcconell and ryan.

I lile that people are now arguing against obstruction as a valid political tool. Its humorous that it simple stops.being effective for dems and they really ought not to try.

You realize the Republicans got very, very luck with some odd regional factors, right? That doesn't seem like a good plan for either side to model going forward.

Obviously what's being obstructed also matters.

Not quite, they do however tend to be strong in their beliefs.

Yeah, it's always been a ridiculous argument. I don't know how anyone can say, "we won, so you have to implement what we want" with a straight face. No, that's not how the system works. That's not your opponent's job. Their job is to represent what they believe is in their constituent's best interests. Without impugning anyone's motives, the obvious implication of that is that Republicans will oppose a lot of Democratic legislation and vice versa. If you want to get things done as the majority (but not super-majority) party, you have to propose actual compromises that give your opponent something, not "compromises" that amount to, "well, we'll just take less of what we want and you still get nothing".

"going to end for them"? What the hell is this? A threat that you will silence, evict or possibly incarcerate half of your own population? What happend to "The land of the free"?

Going to end for them in losing badly in the 2018 elections in the House, Senate and on a local level: State Legislatures and Governships.

Check out of the Virginia Governor's race due this year.

I never argued for obstructionism, I thought it was incredibly harmful and still do regardless of which side does it.

Also this doesn't just affect the fucking US. This radical obstructionism affects the entire global economy.

I'm pretty sure he's just saying it'll cost them seats in 2018. Don't overthink it.

That could also be said of Trump Admin insistence of not accepting the courts decisions and rewrite a better EO and go through the Congress.

3 out 11 above 50 % isn't exactly the best, for someone that is supposed to represent all the US people and their interest.

[CostinR]

He accepted the court's ruling and followed the Temporary Restraining Order on the Travel Ban, but it's a temporary decision. He could withdraw the EO sure and issue a better written one, but why do so when he can still win in court?

Until he has a definitive ruling on it, and there is none right now, he's going to fight in courts. Because he won't lose in the public eye on this one.

3 out 11 above 50 % isn't exactly the best, for someone that is supposed to represent all the US people and their interest.

All of them are close to 50% with plenty of undecided people. Only 3 executive orders with more then 40% approval: ACA, Abortion Ban and the Wall.

Yep, it's all about "winning". Withdrawing the EO and writing a better one take less time and money than pushing the case in the courts, but Trump is all about "winning".

Is that also obstructionism?

That is true, but again it isn't exactly good. You'd want broader support than what amounts to just your voting base.
