The NYT also starting to contemplate the unthinkable:

According to Real Clear Politics, using a composite of ten national polls, Trump’s approval rating is .2% below the highest of his presidency. And note the trend lines:

Thank God for the anti-Kavanaugh loony protesters. We never could have done this without them.

Great find, prof - I hope every American reads that piece and gets the message.

The Saudis’ story of what happened to Khashoggi is indeed preposterous. It is the second worst cover up story for an embassy murder in history.

We are in a much better position to retaliate against the Saudis than we were just a few years ago, thanks to fracking, ANWAR, Keystone, etc.

The Saudis should have consulted with the Clinton's on murdering and covering up the crime. They are the experts.

Khashoggi was Chelsea’s real father. The secret was about to come out.

Inexplicably the two highest approval numbers come from Rasmussen and Fox News.

And explicably the lowest numbers come from USAT, CBS and ABC/WaPo.

Real Clear is a composite of ten national polls, so the result is fair and balanced. And it STILL says Trump's popularity is the highest of his presidency.

Donnie's approval vs disapproval numbers have been underwater so long he's drowned every day for the last year and a half. And there's no Kavanaugh bump on the horizon...instead you have coming attractions that include the House flip, the Mueller report, Trump's tax returns and emolument issues, and the big pipe-bomber reveal. Enjoy your "best" number while ya got it.

House flip? Yeah, that will probably happen. The Democrats will just make fools of themselves like they did throughout the Kavanaugh hearings. But unlike the Kavanaugh bump - which did wonders for Trump and the GOP - the impeachment bump will last for two years right into 2020.

Mueller report? I can’t wait for that. I hope that happens tomorrow. It will be as glorious as the day after the 2016 election.

Tax returns? Emoluments? (Whatever those are; you’re the only person I’ve ever heard use that word.) Sure, the Dem House will try that (see “Dems making fools of themselves” above). Trump will litigate it. Speaker Pelosi will shout, “We will take our case all the way to the Supreme Court!”

Hahahahahahshahahaha...

The voice of the Democratic Party is having credibility issues to say the least.

Avenatti will be the lead prosecutor in the Dems’ impeachment of Trump proceedings. That role was made for him. All he needs is a lady parts hat.

Somehow I'm thinking the people who wanted to lock Hillary up for using a personal server don't see any problem whatsoever with Trump refusing to give up his personal, unsecured cell phone. From what I've heard, he doesn't want to give it up b/c on the government issued phones that can't be hacked, you can't save your contacts, and he doesn't like that...
I want someone's ass blistered in the middle of Thanksgiving Square.
