We’ve now got the first Gallup approval ratings for the period entirely after the immigration clampdown that saw children being forcibly separated from their parents.

First.
The whole Trump situation is a circus, and makes the US look an absolute joke. It'd be nice to sit back and watch except for the risk it creates for the rest of the world.0 -

TBH, looking at that graph the drop in Trump's approval ratings doesn't look outside the normal range of fluctuations. If anything, the previous rating looks like a slight outlier and this looks more like a reversion to trend.0

I still think it is possible for Trump in 2020 to lose the popular vote by an even larger margin than in 2016 and still win the Electoral College.0

The previous rating may also have been a reaction to positive headlines about North Korea.

538 has him at 42/52, a level where you'd expect the Dems to take the House, but still possibly lose some Red State Senators.Richard_Nabavi said:TBH, looking at that graph the drop in Trump's approval ratings doesn't look outside the normal range of fluctuations.

Unlikely given he won Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin by less than 1%.TheScreamingEagles said:I still think it is possible for Trump in 2020 to lose the popular vote by even larger margin than in 2016 and still win the Electoral College.
Ironically the reverse may be the case especially if Sanders is his opponent, in areas of California like Orange County that voted for Hillary but are normally GOP his approval rating is up to 50% while nationally it is down to 41%. It is possible Sanders could win Pennsylvania and enough upper Midwest and rustbelt states to narrowly win the Electoral College but narrowly lose the popular vote to Trump as some suburban independents and moderate Republicans in New York and California who voted for Hillary over Trump hold their nose and vote for Trump to keep out Sanders0 -

I'm never sure of that.SquareRoot said:
They may have a different terminology for the main and sidekick commentator, but both are usually listed as commentators for the game, and are talking about the same amount of time, so I don't think any distinction is really necessary.0 -
'What made this particularly challenging for him were the TV pictures and sounds of the crying children on being taken away from their parents. It was a lot harder for the normal Trump response of “fake news”'
Not that much harder, though.
'In June 2018 social media users began circulating a heart-rending photograph depicting a sobbing toddler clutching the bars of a cage in which he is confined, usually accompanied by commentary stating that the image depicted a boy who had been detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in 2018... the photograph was taken on 10 June 2018, but it did not show a child confined by immigration authorities to a cage. Rather, it was snapped during a protest staged in front of Dallas City Hall' (1)
'In May 2018, a photograph of two children sleeping inside a fenced enclosure was widely circulated via social media with accompanying text stating that it pictured a “kids’ concentration camp” in the U.S.... This photograph dates from 2014 (during the Obama administration) and was not directly related to a mid-2018 controversy over Trump administration policy of separating children from undocumented migrant parents at the U.S. border.' (2; this was tweeted by Obama speechwriter Jon Favreau and subsequently deleted when he was informed of its provenance).
Then, of course, we have the Time cover of a crying young girl who was brutally separated from her family - by her mother, who abandoned her husband and three of her children in Honduras and paid $6,000 to a people smuggler to get her across the US border, presumably taking only the youngest of her children because she expected it to give her the best chance of claiming asylum.0 -

Michael has also been known to lose sense of perspective from time to time...I remember the infamous Crewe by-election where he had a conspiracy theory about the Tory doing something dodgy with canvasing data. And of course the Battle Bus story, he went way OTT on that, conflating all sorts of things in order to come with talk that so many results of seats could have been null and void that the GE2015 result could have been under threat.TheScreamingEagles said:

Puts hands up. There are counter examples where it has been utilised well at this very world cup, and handled quicker. The problems are related to operation, not the principle. For instance, the VAR officials are overly harsh on situations where someone heads a ball into someone else's arm which they couldn'tt possibly avoid, and when they call over the ref to review it the expectation is they should overturn.FrancisUrquhart said:Hands up who thinks VAR is a good idea ?

All three of those were quite moderate Republicans in their day, and might as well be Democrats by today's standards. And don't forget that Sanders or someone like him will bring the Jill Steiners etc back to the Dems, whilst not a few of the voters that they might drive away from the Dems would similarly go to other non-Trump parties like the Libertarians.HYUFD said:
