Looking at the performance of this president, it is hard to understand what keeps him afloat politically. There has to be only one explanation for that, and that is the tribal component of politics.
What has this president done so well that it rates a positive approval? The Rasmussen Poll have him consistently in the high 30's to low 40's. But if it is for approval, then what exactly do they like about the guy? What exactly has he done that meets with any approval at all?
There are some other polls that indicate that it isn't a partisan phenomenon. Dissatisfation has been high for some time now. The right-track wrong-track poll has been underwater for so long that it is the new normal. Is the fact that so many people are dissatified with the way things are going, is THAT the reason for their approval of this president?
If you cannot get political accountability, then how are you ever going to get some useful things done?
There has been plenty of talk about the "gridlock" in Washington. The gridlock, as such, is not the issue. The issue is why do people insist on giving these politicians a blank check all the time?
It has to be fear of the "other". They managed to convince many in their group that to allow the other side to win is tantamount to "losing our democracy". But it is the ability to "throw the bums out" that makes a democracy. If the guy you voted for doesn't produce, then what is the use of continuing the support? How are you ever going to get rid of a guy who is bad for the country, and even bad for YOU?
The politicians have made an art of avoiding accountability. Nice job if you can get it. No matter how badly you screw up, nobody will fire you for it. That is the state of the Democrat party. I'd like to see what this guy has done that makes him worthy of any support at all. There isn't any. The only reason to support him is that he is not one of the "other guys"; who have been demonized into being fascists, or something akin to it.
It is the biggest scam going, and that is saying something.
