Republicans who criticize President Trump often drop their objections pretty quickly in the face of public backlash. And while the outrage over President Trump’s performance in Helsinki was louder than the typical Trump administration controversy, Republicans appear to have already fallen in line behind the leader of their party.
And if there were any doubt left as to why (poll after poll shows that President Trump remains overwhelmingly popular among Republicans and his support has been climbing among independents), a recent Axios/SurveyMonkey survey once again affirmed that Trump’s supporters have his back, come hell or high water.
As the graphic below shows, Republicans overwhelmingly approved of President Trump’s performance in Helsinki: 79% “totally approve” of Trump’s performance, and apparently haven’t been persuaded by James Comey and his ilk’s cries that Trump elevated a Russian President over Trump’s own intelligence agencies.
This is in keeping with polling showing that a similarly wide majority of Republicans view the issue of Russian election interference as a distraction (while the vast majority of Dems see it as a serious issue). Earlier, we pointed out that a recent Gallup poll showed only 1% of Americans see the “Russia problem” as the biggest issue facing the US.
According to Axios, this poll is a clear foreshadowing of the national drama that could unfold after the midterms, as some elements within the Republican party will inevitably search for a third candidate to challenge the president. That effort is almost certainly bound to fail, as Trump’s grip on the party remains unassailable. And that probably won’t change, even if Trump were to shoot somebody on Fifth Avenue, as he famously boasted during the campaign.
COMEY DID A COVER-UP FOUND IN IG REPORT AND ON WEINERS LAPTOP of hillarys CHILD CRIMINAL CRIMES and a long list of names of Washington government officials names involved with these child crimes and child traffcing, clear COMEY ‘S NAME WAS ONE OF THEM along with john mccain clapper,brennan eric holder rosenstein mueller, COMEY USED THE RUSSIANS TO COVER-UP THESE CRIMES AGAINST CHILDREN
AMERICANS WE HAVE TO TAKE BACK OUR AMERICA FROM THE EVIL CRIMINAL ACTS OF DEMOCRATS………………………..TO SOLVE AMERICAS PROBLEMS MAKE THIS CHOICE WE THE PEOPLE’ HAVE THE POWER OF OUR VOICES AND OUR VOTES, TO VOTE OUT THE ENTIRE LYING,CORRUPT, TREASONOUS DEMOCRAT PARTY COME NOV 2018, VOTE TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN AND TO END ALL CORRUPTIONS IN WASHINGTON GOVERNMENT

Trump’s handling of Putin makes sense. You cannot work anything out by insulting and or snubbing your opponent. If you can’t talk, you can’t fix anything. And the fake “Diplomacy” of the past where you each blow smoke up the other guy’s ass is seen as “Diplomatic” but both sides know it’s Bull$#!&, and nothing has gotten resolved. As a businessman, The President has been in more ACTUAL negotiations than any of our weak-willed politicians have even heard of. Most of those criticizing Trump are career politicians whose are so used to talking to each other have no concept of what the real world is about. That is why we support the President and ignore the Democrat ranting.
I absolutely agree with you. Trump looks at negotiations from a business perspective and he is right. Putin won’t negotiate with anybody who will bully him. If Trump will show his dominance, Putin will not accept this, regardless of how bad it is for Russia or the Russian people. Trump is using the right approach with Putin.
what is wrong with you people; can’t you see what is happening? It’s insane for anyone to believe someone like Trump, because he lies with every other word. This man has no concept about politics; he has no knowledge of legislation; he doesn’t any damn thing about world affairs; yet you support his gabage, and you voted him into office. So, you will certainly get exactly what you asked for; a sham of a presidency, and an illiterate moron in the Oval Office. Ask yourself; what logical or rational law or policy has Trump implemented, or will implement in the near future? Why does Trump has his nose so far up the Russian President butt? He’s a scary little child!!!!!
