President @realDonaldTrump jumps to a 50% approval rate.



But,but,but...um, I thought you didn't trust polls?


I don't. Their sampling methods haven't changed. It's just too hard to massage the results.

Any poll should read +8 to 15 in the republican's favor.

People put way too much into what pundit's opinions of polls are and don't pay enough attention to the data. Just because some hack at NBC says that a 4% lead in national polling gave Hillary a 95% chance to win doesn't make it true. Smart people like Nate Silver gave Trump a 25% chance to win the EC. State polling presidential elections is awful - those nip and tuck states that Trump needed to win, he won. Credit him for getting out his vote in the rust belt where he needed it. The final national polls, when blended, had HRC up by about 4%. She won by about 2%. That's extremely close.

Also, if every poll was 8-15% percent off, Bevin would still be Governor in a landslide, and the GOP would control about 90% of the seats in Washington. You're overreacting big time. Look at data, not opinions.
 
The rest of the military only look bad to POS people like you on the left who hate the military.
Not true at all Kitty. I support and respect those who serve. What I won't do, is give support to psychos like Eddie. It's like any profession; majority of people in the military are good people, but then you have the crazies that make the profession look bad (see police, teachers, etc.). With that being said, I don't think most that are in the military are like him.

So Hilary really won? Too bad she don’t know that.

False, words from you only. The left only talks good about the military when it suits their needs. The bridge was burned many years ago and the damage done is irreversible.

Others he served with clearly indicated he wasn’t stable. They used the words psychopath and evil and were around him on a daily basis. They said they were out there trying to prevent him from killing civilians because he liked to make burqas fly (or something to that effect). Sorry but I don’t think that makes him a stable individual. Why is it so hard for you to believe that there are some bad apples in the military? Or is it more that Trump pardoned him and brought him in for a photo opp?

Hillary, Pelosi, Shumer, Warren, Biden, and most on the left are totally unhinged on Trump but, you accept that, why?

I think their are bad apples in all walks of life. My point is we send soldiers to fight wars(kill people), don't get offended when they actually kill people. ISIS wore no uniforms, were not an organized army of ANY country. Hard to acknowledge who is friend or enemy. Same thing happened in Vietnam, only the NVA wore uniforms, the Cong wore no uniforms, and would attack then melt into civilians. Hard to know friend or foe.

Now if you want to argue to not use military for policemen, I will agree with you.
 
No, I live in the real world not the one where I have to watch what I say or do because you snow flakes will get offended.

Honestly, does this ever happen to you? Random people in public get offended by you? I know Sawnee is a daily witness to MAGA hats beating down mouthy liberals, but I never see anyone get offended by things, except on this board. It’s like fantasy land.

I agree with the sentiment of your post but don’t think this was quite the case with what happened w respect to Gallagher based on the comments of those that served with him. One guy testified he took pleasure in killing women, children, and the elderly. Doesn’t really sound like a case of not knowing who the enemy is. It’s pretty telling when 7+ members of his unit break their code of silence to speak out against him. If we reversed all of this and was an enemy soldier doing all of this to Americans and getting pardoned, there would be outrage
