In 2017 I was tracking Trump’s polling numbers like a day trader tracks the stock market. Every increase in his disapproval rating was a cause for celebration and every decrease a cause for alarm. I thought that an unending parade of reveals about his lack of character, incompetence, corruption, racism, illiteracy, etc. would keep driving down his approval rating until it was in the single digits. How naive. Quixotic. No reveal drove his approval rating below the 36% reported here. Nothing including Russian bounties on American soldiers has dropped his approval among those who identify as Republican under 80%. It took me 3 years to come to grip with the reasons why.

There is no bridge too far, no utterance too vile, no act too low, no lie too obvious and no outrage too egregious for Donald Trump. Once you accept that our path is clear. To save the Republic Trump must be ousted sooner, not later. He partnered, not just colluded, with Putin to rob the American people of one of our most cherished democratic institutions: free elections.
