It’s sad that there are actually people that get salty when Trump gets cheers.

Its funny how they celebrate the liberal boos in DC and create threads about it but the positive doesn't get a peep or just the salty "well it's Alabama". Another great example of the interesting times we are in .

I don't think people got salty over the fact he got cheers. It was the claim that these cheers in the deep south at a football game are representative of how "Real America" feels.
Let's say Trump attends the USC/UCLA game in Southern California on 11/23. If he were booed there would anyone seriously think or suggest that was a representation of how "Real America" feels about him?
Context is everything.

The thread wasn’t about him getting booed but how you feel about booing the prez.

Its fine, it’s ok to cheer him.
People aren’t really shocked he gets cheered at a Bama football game.

To be more fair they have one home game left against W Carolina. How many does anyone want to buy for $10? I can fill any number. That threat is more like a favor to the students because the refund would exceed the value.

Anybody who thinks Trump won’t win Alabama is crazy; anybody who thinks a WS game in DC is representative of the entire country is crazy; anybody who thinks a college football game in Alabama is representative of the entire country is crazy. He’s both widely popular and widely loathed.Bozeman Bruiser said:

It’s unsurprising, but the retweeting of it 8 times is a little strange.

you can boo for somebody
I think when its a coordinated act though, where the crowd is led into a chant .... that's pathetic IMO and not indicative of the crowd but rather the puppet masters pulling the strings behind it.

I can speak for 3 Democrats, myself and my voting age daughters. They weren't even aware of this event until I brought it up, and I wouldn't be aware of it if not for the fact that I'm a football fan. It didn't affect my evening, and I haven't seen a single YouTube video. But I did enjoy the loss by Saban's team and watching a great performance by the future Dolphin QB.
BTW, Trump's unpopularity extends outside the USA to almost every democracy, except for Israel. It's not just Democrats that disapprove or mock him.

Trump is back at 49% approval (4pts higher than Obama at this point in his presidency). I love how wildly unpopular you guys think he is. Boozeman was right on the money up thread, Democrats better take this as a big wake up call.

He’s wildly popular and wildly unpopular.
I don’t place a lot of weight in single polls and Rasmussen has some flaws.
41.4% approval per Nate Silver. Here's a handy link: https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/trump-approval-ratings/

I believe that as impeachment goes on Trump’s approval will actually go up a bit because many Republicans who are not Trump supporters will unify with the party- while not fans of Trump’s actions they will regard the Democrats as overreaching- we already see some of that taking place.
But once the Senate has had its vote and the initial reaction of defiance and anger wanes, look for Trump’s approval numbers to shrink lower than they’ve ever been. Let’s check back on this question around March or so.
I think one of the most interesting aspects of that page - just how consistently unpopular Trump is, and has been from the start.
The unpopular aspect is somewhat easy to understand - a majority of voters voted against him in 2016. But, the consistency I think shows the polarization of the country - in ways it has not been in the past.
Nothing Trump says or does moves the needle up or down. When you compare that to past presidents, they all had their ups and downs - suggesting that people were less polarized then, and reacted according to specific things/policies - rather than a blanket approval/disapproval no matter what the president did.
I am sure the Trump supporters will point to that as proof the Deep State, and left-leaning media are out to get Trump - but I think this shows that the polarization is unique to Trump, and that when Trump leaves office we will return to normal divisiveness - at least we all better hope so. The alternative is that Trump has broken us.

What is concerning is Trump won the majority of states quite easily 30-20. Will that hold up again? I am worried if this impeachment fails it will bite the Dems big in the rear end next year. It will be 4 years of wasted time, energy and $$$ trying to remove Trump.
I don't think so - at the very least is a little of both. Obama had peaks and valleys which suggests that his support was not lock-step partisanship. Yet, Trump is consistently unpopular - despite what he calls a great economy - which is usually a good indicator of presidential popularity.

Trump's week in sports can be summed up with Marvel.cobalt_27 said:
So, War Machine tells a story to super heroes and they are unimpressed. In this metaphor, Trump is War Machine. Thor and Iron Man are all
War Machine is hurt, distraught, sad. He must seek out others to feel great again. At the 1:50 mark, War Machine Trump seeks solitude with people who don't know any better. Are those people his "safe space" or are they simply allowing a story teller to tell his story? We then see at 1:57, the desired reaction. Ego refueled.
If Trump has to keep going to the edges of America to feel good, well, that is sad.
Trump will win a majority of states quite easily.
The better question is - will he win Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin? Its too early to tell, but his favorability rating in those states has tanked since 2016.

Fair enough. You might be very well right. I just saw these seeds being sown from 1992 onward, with the rise of the Reform Party and the constant Iowa success of economic populists on the right. Mix that with evangelical support for justices and you've got the perfect intractable firestorm that divides along support/non-support lines for one person and one person alone. if Donald Trump seems authoritarian, it's because he's tapped into a weird coalition of voters. Think of his coalition as almost parliamentary in nature, and you've got a better grasp of the situation. (Not you as in you, but you as in "if one...".)

its actually not debatable at all
Trump is an antagonist, and the GOP will use anything they can to attack and destroy a Democrats
Democrats will stop at nothing to get to Trump - paying false accusers, trying the Russia angle, tax angle, now this lol "whistleblower" angle .... and they will use anything they can to attack and destroy a Republican
What if ... in the coming Presidential debates, policy only was talked about and no mud slinging, no personal attacks etc etc? That's be awesome wouldn't it? but it won't happen, both parties have degraded themselves to slum levels :(

Who paid false accusers. That seems like an accusation here that should be backed up. Can you please provide a link to that?
The Democrats didn’t start the Mueller investigation. And it was a warranted investigation. Comparing that to some of the attacks we are seeing seems tk be an odd comparison.
The tax angle has been ongoing and the courts are agreeing. Again, not really a comparison to make.
The Whistleblower went to the OG appointed by Trump. Its a big deal not some “lol” moment.

I don't know if we should be labeling the residents of the state ranked near the bottom in most measureables of modernity as "regular everyday people. " Alabama seems to be an outlier by any reasonable definition.

I'm not in the arguing mood today. If anyone thinks Democrats aren't behind all of this witch hunting, I don't know what to say about that. GOP was behind trying to bash and tear down Obama, obviously, that's what opposing political parties do sadly.
But this thing going on right now is all time low. Part of that is Trump being who he is, but none the less, Democrats COULD focus on policies etc and not on taxes of faux Russia or this staged whistleblower nonsense. Its all waste - and American's see it IMO
Anyway, public booing at a sports event etc? 100% against that, that's not what a sporting event is supposed to be IMO
