The tweet tips the strategy: Trump's team will paint Flynn as a Democrat who Trump appointed in a misguided attempt at bipartisanship. "But you see, you can't give a liberal an inch, you let them in the door and they'll make up FAKE NEWS LEAKS about you.." There's be plenty of people who buy it.

marcos, I guess because campaign and transition personnel may pretty much just be civilians talking out of their ass about nice synergies that may happen. After inauguration, these chuckleheads were in fact and in law part of the actual government of the nation. There are, as they say, rules.

all the supporters apparently changing their mind, as reflecting in the polls that show how far even his numbers have dropped over the last year
Those people exist but I don't think they can be located and interviewed.
Trump's approval declines because some of the people on the "Trump Train" were only on it because they reflexively vote Republican. They could stomach Trump (with whatever degree of enthusiasm) because they aren't capable of voting for Democrats at all (let alone for Clinton). People who voted for Trump a year ago and are now disappointed with him DO exist, but they're not the sort of people who are going to go talk to a reporter in a diner about it.
The Cletus Safari, always and everywhere, will only locate diehards, because those are the people who want to talk about it.

YMP otm. On Friday night I was reminding my brother in law that Nixon still had well over a 20% approval rating on the day he left office. It was shamefully easy to find voters who insisted Watergate was a ginned-up partisan witch hunt over nothing, because "you know as well as I do that everyone does it, and it's no big deal".

yeah if 100% of the people that voted for him never back down that's a bottom floor of ~25% of the population. only about half the country voted at all and we are at a 20 year low in turnout because the two party system just keeps offering worse and worse candidates.
a general approval poll will include a whole bunch of people that didn't vote at all and thus only add statistical noise to the proverbial crystal ball. the two-party system deludes us into thinking half the country supports something when in reality even at his peak it was probably like 1 in 4 people. so not only are polls that ask about general approvals more or less meaningless they are misleading as well.
