This is not normal: Trump's tweet storm

What Fox News depends on, is that their viewers won't take the time to fact-check all of their claims. I will just take a look at one claim which was very easy to look up... In that video you posted, Jesse Watters states that Donald Trump's approval ratings "are about the same as Obama's at this point in his presidency". When quoting a president's approval rating, it is most common to use the Real Clear Politics Average (RCP) in order to avoid using a poll which could be an outlier. Donald Trump's current RCP Average is 42.6%. On March 19, 2011 (the same point in Obama's presidency), Barack Obama's RCP Average was 49.1%. That is a significant spread (6.5%) in a composite poll. Trump's RCP Average has never been that high.

Also, Watters claim that Trump "will probably be re-elected" is wildly speculative this early in the process when we don't even know who his opponent in the general election will be. It is ridiculous to use the biased opinion of one commentator to attempt to prove a bias on the part of others.

lol......that was predictable. I think you may have lost sight of the middle. Take the distance between us, divide it by two, move it toward you just a tad, and there's your middle.
I've noticed it's a pretty common trait for the righties on here to view themselves as much closer to the middle than they actually are. Maybe the center of 30 years ago, but it's moved substantially since then.
Trump is about as far right as Bernie is left. It's time for some recallobration.

It is hard to believe that someone who earns their living on a television network that fancies itself for covering "news", would ever say that the "media is the enemy of the people" or words to the effect that a free press which serves as a check and balance on government leadership is somehow hurting people's lives. Fox News has no business pretending to be some kind of watchdog on the Washington DC press corps. They are too close to this president to cover him with any degree of objectivity.

Lol. The middle should be just enough government to run basic programs. Wanting something for free moves you farther left. Touting equality with special rules moves you farther left. Basing decisions strictly on emotion moves you farther left. Being in the middle is wanting to keep more of what earn, true equality for for all (that doesn’t mean we all start at the same point), and coming up with common sense solutions to problems.

I don't think anybody here doesn't have a life or is going to assault a person with a Maga hat.

Know how I know I'm closer to the middle than you? I despise both sides while you only despise one. You're not even close to the middle. You can't even see from where you stand.

Who's closer to the middle? You or me? I know where I would place each of us, I'm just curious about your perspective.

You aren't curious. To be really curious is to be open for a change in perspective. You will never change your mind.

You are, as usual, just trolling.

I've changed my perspective on a few things, but I admit to a tad bit of trolling on this one.
I do maintain that I'm not as far left as most of you would assume (but I am definitely left) and many of you are not as near to center as you assume.

What's your opinion on our Constitution in its entirety; is it Left, Center, Right...or apolitical?
