as he boarded Marine 1 for the last time. 25% still loved Dubya after Katrina and the financial meltdown. If you think you're going to get 99% or even 80% of humans to agree on anything, even anything fucking obvious, you're going to be very disappointed. But, electoral landslides aren't based on that. They're based on the margins. 5 to 10 percentage point shifts. And this one could be crushing. As though $5 gas, Americans gunned down by ICE, grocery prices through the roof and another forever war weren't enough for incumbent Republicans, now Donnie revealed in very basic, easy to understand terms, he doesn't give a shit. And Congressional Republicans are stuck trying to spin and defend that.
