First year a 'monumental flop' (Warning: GOP view)

[struggle4progress]

... Trump began his presidency a year ago and immediately made a mistake typical of many newly elected officials: he misread why he won and thus what he had to do to govern ...

And then the base - which began with the 46% he won in November 2016 - soon began to shrink. Within weeks it was down to 36%, where it remains today.

How can you effectively run a democratic republic with just 36% of the people supporting you? ...

1. what is this democratic republic of which you speak?

near as i can tell, the second most popular party is in full control of all the branches of government and has a heavy hand in the media.

the runner-up won the presidency, more people vote for democrats in congress but republicans get more seats, congresspeople get to choose their voters, party members at the state level get to disenfranchise selected minorities, big money has a heavy hand in campaigns, foreign powers can manipulate elections, voting machines generally can't be audited and are hackable.

there may be a case to say this is a republican, but it's not looking very democratic these days....
