Thanks. Things are going really well for me now, much better than they were not so long ago. Hope all is well with you. I'll probably send you an IM later today.

He hasn’t even been in office three months but half of the nation’s voters already think President Donald Trump has weakened the United States’ role in the world, according to a new McClatchy-Marist poll.

Since he was sworn into office in January, Trump has been criticized for a series of what some call foreign policy missteps: authorizing a raid in Yemen that left a Navy seal dead, blasting a deal that calls for the U.S. to accept 1,250 refugees from Australia and insulting German Chancellor Angela Merkel by refusing to shake her hand when they met at the White House.

And in January, Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto canceled a meeting with Trump after the U.S. president insisted Mexico pay for a wall along the U.S. southern border.

Fifty-five percent of voters think Trump has weakened the U.S.’s role, which is an increase from 52 percent in February. Not surprisingly, that includes 83 percent of Democrats but it also includes 59 percent of independents and 17 percent of Republicans as well as 12 percent of those who call themselves Trump supporters. Thirty-six percent think he has made the U.S. stronger. Nine percent were unsure.

I guess it's not really all that fair to Trump because he's the oldest president that's ever been elected.

I posted this earlier, but this seems like it could be a huge issue if found to be true.

I feel bad for Gorsuch (and even worse for Garland) in that if this was a typical SC nomination, he'd already be confirmed.

Coons to filibuster so that's 41.

The funny thing is that Gorsuch is actually a lot better than Garland when it comes to ruling against big business, Wall Street, supporting citizens on privacy issues, etc...

I know... he's a great nominee, and I would like him to be on the court. At the same time, it shouldn't have ever gotten to this point.

So the dems are willing to fight the gorsuch nomination now, but screw themselves if RBG leaves? Ok...

Do it now, do it then, the outcome is the same sparky.

I could understand the Democrat's posture if this was replacing RBG, Souter, Sotomayor, Kagan, or even Kennedy. But since this is Scalia (whom Gorsuch is "less conservative" than) he's replacing causing Mitch to further the nuclear option to SCOTUS started by Reid seems nothing more than just spite.

And where is the you have to replace a conservative with a conservative nonsense coming from? This is all about the stolen seat.
