Weird thought though, if memory serves, we have about 300% the co2 in the air as we did during the last inter glacial period, yet we are still three degrees C cooler that it was then. It was warmer with less CO2...crazy right! Does that make anyone else think maybe CO2 doesnt play as big a role in temp as some are led to believe or do we all stick to our guns
Lastly shouldnt we get back to discussing all these B.S. smears against Trump that have no basis other than "unnamed sources" report
Or how he wasnt a racist in 2015, but was a racist as soon as he ran for president.
He's always been racist. You want claims? How about his travel ban from predominantly Muslim countries? It was based on racist stereotypes and not facts. Also, the wall. Saying that "mexico is sending it's worst" and "they are rapists" doesn't seem racist to you? If not, then go check the definition of racism again. Also, racial majorities really don't get to decide if someone else who is also of that majority is racist. I shouldn't assume your race, but since you are defending Trump and only 0.5% of his supporters are ethnic minorities, it's extremely probably. Correct me if I'm wrong.
lmao why cant you call a minority who is racist a racist? lmao funny rules you have
and since mexicans put up a wall of sorts to keep guatemalans out they are all racist too oops are they considered minorities or are you gonna call them racist only in mexico lol
at least get the quote right
“[Mexican illegal immigrants] are bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.”
but maybe you need to go check the percentage of hispanics backing trump before you go all social justice warrior on forums lol ill leave you some reading just to give your programming a break lol
A new POLITICO/Morning Consult poll found Trump’s approval rebounding to 45 percent overall, with Hispanic approval jumping sharply—to 42 percent, after bottoming out at 22 percent on January 21. That result, like the early Marist number, suffers from a high margin of error. A more conservative rolling average puts the figure at around 35 percent, and rising.
Other polls also show Trump in the mid-30s with Hispanics. An Economist/YouGov poll found 32 percent approval rating among Hispanics; another from The Hill and HarrisX has it at 35 percent. In mid-January, Reuters/Ipsos found his approval among Hispanics at 36 percent, the highest since the 2016 election.
That’s about where Trump’s Hispanic approval spent most of 2018, according to previous POLITICO/Morning Consult polls, but about 10 points above where Reuters/Ipsos and Gallup polling showed him throughout the year. Whether keeping pace or on the rise, these polls suggest that Hispanics are responding to Trump as president more like Americans as a whole—close to 45 percent of whom approve of Trump—than like African-Americans, whose Trump approval remains around 10 percent.
That doesn’t necessarily translate into votes, Lee Miringoff, director of the Marist Institute for Public Opinion. Despite that 50 percent approval rate, his poll found that only 27 percent of Hispanics said that they definitely plan to vote for Trump in 2020, with 58 percent definitely voting against him. Still, a definite 27 percent, if accurate, is equal to the percentage of Hispanic voters who chose Trump in 2016 (28 percent), or Mitt Romney over Barack Obama in 2012 (27 percent), or Republicans in the 2018 congressional midterms (29 percent).
There appears to be room for growth. Morning Consult’s polling showed Trump approval among Hispanics at or above 40 percent for much of his first year in office, perhaps in something of a grace period, to which he could return.
And remember: pollsters in 2016 thought Trump would get only about 18 percent of the Hispanic vote; he actually got 28 percent. If polls are, for some reason, still underestimating his appeal among Hispanics by a similar margin, he could be on his way to 40 — and reelection.
