40% is ....not a majority

the current POTUS has a 37% approval rating and this is considered to be historically low, due to wars, corruption, etc.

but even with all of that corruption and failure, 37% of surveyed adults, *still approve*. This includes his frequent, deeply racist tirades on Twitter. They approve!

Let's state this again because the Dems still haven't learned. Trump didn't win, the Dems lost. And until you stop using this type of rhetoric, you will keep losing. This is completely a skill issue because there are plenty of things to talk about that would help getting Dems elected. This isn't one of them.

But it's not even approaching 40%, nor did I tie the two together. If you think the 33% of people who voted from Trump did it because they are racist you are wrong. Some did, a lot that wasn't their primary concern. It's viewing pepole wrong to think that.

What's the point of being that pedantic, Mike?
