Kirstin Gillebrand is a US Senator for the State of New York.

How about how Elizabeth Warren handles (repeatedly) being called "Pocahontas"?

Being objective isn't having to praise people.

Being objective is behaving like an adult instead of an emotive child.

A couple of observations:

1) Obama put together the longest unbroken streak of private sector job growth in American history - dropping unemployment from over 10% to under 5% in the process;

By borrowing give or take as much as every single president COMBINED before him!
Employment figures are mashed by many having more than one job.

2) Job growth (and GDP growth) has slowed under Trump, despite his claims to the contrary ("biggest ever!" )

This always happens towards the end of any 'boom' regardless of who happens to be 'in power' so nothing to see here tbh.

3) With a booming stock market, solid job growth, low unemployment, low interest rates, low inflation etc. etc., why would the sitting President be so deeply unpopular?

Stock markets are REACTIONARY, they NEVER lead any economy. So what does? There's some homework for ya.

Historically low interest rates have done nothing to help any 'economy', only those at the top..........as usual, the ever-rising debt for the common man being proof.

Each new poll has his approval ratings dropping deeper into the 30s while, more alarmingly for him, his disapproval ratings are soaring into the 60s. Trump won Alabama last year by a margin of +28%. While not on the ballot this year, exit polls asked for approval / disapproval of Trump's performance, and the result was 48% approve, 49% disapprove. In a year he went from +28% to -1%...in deep red Alabama!

Trump is a t***. But as with many before him, he doesn't, and will never, 'rule the roost'.

You keep refusing to answer my question - being how these individuals from "the left" handled their response to being baited by Trump. You claimed that only Sanders behaves as an adult, yet are unaware of these two very high profile, very recent incidents where the targets of Trump's bile responded with intelligence and grace.

There are countless other examples too, because the list of Trump insultees is long and illustrious.

Also, calling Warren "Pocahontas" is racist, so it's telling that you find it amusing.

The (failing) NY Times has been keeping a list of people, places and things Trump has insulted on Twitter. It's up to 394 (with many, many receiving multiple insults), but this list is a month old so I wouldn't be surprised if we're over 400 by now. Kirstin Gillibrand and Doug Jones, at least, need to be added to the list. [Link]

Ironically, I really am enjoying the Trump Presidency, but yeah. I'd pretty much agree, its what happens when the choice is between someone who doesn't serve the agenda of the majority, and someone who deceives they represents the agenda of the majority.

Ironically, you had a candidate who represented interests of capital and big business, and a candidate who pretended they wouldn't.

The irony is that Trump isn't the problem, he's the symptom of a system that is inherently biased towards the interests not of voters, but wealth and the wealthy.
