That's a pretty vague and almost misleading question. If you ask "Do you support the Trump administration sending ICE to conduct sweeps in American cities," or "do you think undocumented workers with no criminal records should be imprisoned and/or deported," the numbers will drop.

Wait, you mean there aren't a substantial number of voters who are transphobes looking for candidates who endorse a slightly less odious version of transphobia than the GOP is peddling?
I think you should ask Matt Yglesias, Jesse Singal, and Jake Tapper about that.

Trump absolutely is damaged. The question is how much.
Regardless, he's already a lame duck and MTG (who both despicable and stupid) is the first Republican to implicitly announce that.

My only gripe is with the production of the post New Day albums. It seems both slick and murky, although the songs are great.
Speaking of production, did you hear the Ed Stasium mix of "Tim?" It's WAY better than Tommy Ramone's atrocity.
