Quote:A panel on MSNBC's "MTP Daily" appeared to panic on Monday after reviewing President Donald Trump's approval rating — which stayed the same — despite the negative news that broke last week about Paul Manafort and Michael Cohen.

"Last week was a tidal wave of bad news for this presidency and this president, and his approval rating stayed the same," Katy Tur said while visibly frustrated. "So I wonder — I mean, if that's not going to move the needle, is this John McCain thing going to move the needle?"

"And forgive me for being skeptical because I was under the impression, as was most people, that when Donald Trump came out and said he wasn't a war hero — he likes the guys that don't get caught — back in 2015, that people would care," Tur continued. "And when I went out and I talked to Republican voters, they didn't care at all."

MSNBC contributor Jonathan Alter responded by claiming that Republicans do not care about Trump's behavior, saying that Trump supporters are "deluded."

Tur whined as she could not wrap her mind around the fact that the overwhelming majority of Republicans showed strong support for the president.

"Eighty-eight percent of Republicans still support him — 88 percent," Tur lamented. "I'm sorry, I just — I start to wonder when we have these conversations and we say, 'Well, this is going to be the breaking point,' I wonder if there is a breaking point. I wonder if enough people in this country find the actions and the behavior repulsive enough to want to change what's going on."

Their people talk a good game but accomplish nothing. People like Trump talk a horrible game, but accomplish a lot. It's business vs politics.....

and they can't understand it

However, I couldn’t care less that his campaign manager got busted for tax evasion or whatever from 2004 or that he didn’t bow down at the altar of McCain.

I like his tax cuts. I don’t like his spending. I like his freeing of businesses and lessening regulations. I’m not a fan of his tariffs or his subsidies. I like the fact that he loves America, which is more than I can say for anyone in the left.

In reality they are literally wind up puppets whose sole function is to disseminate the lefts daily talking points and keep the base riled up.

Policies do impact me
I don't give a damn if people in other countries 'judge' me by Trump's tweets. That just makes them bigger fools than they think I am

They are growing more and more frustrated every day that they can no longer control the message. One 12 second tweet, no matter how cringe-worthy for many of us, and whatever vapid "point" they are/were trying to make- *poof* shegone.

It's making them crazier and more extreme every day. Just look at some of our dear friends around here.
