Trump looks to loyal voters as support slips, agenda stalls

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

WASHINGTON — After six months of infighting, investigations and legislative failures, President Donald Trump is trying to combat new signs of weakness in his Republican base and re-energize his staunchest supporters.

White House officials have been urging the president to refocus on immigration and other issues that resonate with the conservatives, evangelicals and working-class whites who propelled him to the Oval Office. The president has ramped up his media-bashing via Tweet, long a successful tactic for Trump, and staged rallies hoping to marshal his base to his defense.

The effort underscores Trump's shaky political positioning not yet seven months into his presidency. Trump has remained deeply unpopular among Democrats, and there are signs that his support among Republicans may be softening. His advisers are aware that a serious slip in support among his core voters could jeopardize hopes for a major, early legislative accomplishment and would certainly increase Republicans' worries about his re-election prospects.

White House counselor Kellyanne Conway acknowledged the concerns Sunday on ABC, saying the president's approval rating "among Republicans and conservatives and Trump voters is down slightly."

"It needs to go up," she said.

1. It's all race based. Every bit of it.

"White House officials have been urging the president to refocus on immigration and other issues that resonate with the conservatives, evangelicals and working-class whites who propelled him to the Oval Office."

The immigration part isn't for economic reasons. Color is the reason. Trump would have sent Obama to Kenya if he could have.

2. Yep. He prepped the field with birtherism and opened with "Mexican ...rapists"

This, however, is not the month to open a new campaign. August is the dog days of summer. Congress is in recess. It's beach time or going back to school time. We may not get a full August vacation like much of the world but we do check out.

His best option is to actually take this time off. Let Kelly get the ship in order - give the place a haircut. Come charging back as football season opens. He won't do it but that's the smart move.
