WAPO: Trump taps his doctor to replace Shulkin at VA, choosing personal chemistry over traditional qualifications. Flashback, NYT: The Aspiring Novelist Who Became Obama’s Foreign-Policy Guru — How Ben Rhodes rewrote the rules of diplomacy for the digital age. It’s almost as though there’s one set of standards for inexperienced Republican appointees, and a completely different set for Democrats. Correct. And they leave out the fact Robby's record (across administrations) is flawless... Whereas Shulkin is a corrupt POS.
B-Man Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 Boy................THAT was a quick (and stupid) response. Ousted VA Chief: I refused to let the free market ruin the VA, so they pushed me out ....“They saw me as an obstacle to privatization who had to be removed.” LOL 1
Deranged Rhino Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 But now many will defend him... Without doing the research, because anyone who is seen as a victim or enemy of Trump automatically becomes a trusted paragon of truth and virtue. 2

keepthefaith Posted April 2, 2018 Posted April 2, 2018 It would take a lot for NBC to redeem itself for the past years of political, racial and religious tilt but Jesus Christ Superstar which is airing now is a pretty darned good production. 1
B-Man Posted April 2, 2018 Posted April 2, 2018 DAILY TRACKING POLL: Trump Hits 50% Approval. Only 49% disapprove. Plus: “Trump’s overall job approval rating is now running ahead of where Barack Obama’s was at this stage of his presidency.” Weird, you’d never guess that from watching the news. .

I am skeptical of polls in general after the past 24 months, but if that's accurate it's mighty impressive considering the media coverage (as you alluded to) has been 95% negative versus how positive/hyped the coverage was of 44's first year.
row_33 Posted April 2, 2018 Posted April 2, 2018 Polls are rigged in favour of non-conservative clients. The questions asked and process of choosing whom they ask tilt it. And conservatives are learning, one by one, to never talk to pollsters, or tell them "undecided".

Rasmussen has always leaned right so it's not surprising. It's an outlier. FWIW, IBD/TIPP was the most accurate in the 2016 election.

That's true, but if I remember correctly they only use landlines which tend to under represent younger, poorer, and more urban voters. I remember wondering why Rasmussen always had Obama rated lower than every other polling company. Edited April 3, 2018 by Doc Brown
