bluebell Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 I know that a lot of people have the attitude that once the president is elected, you support them and respect them because of the office they hold. Kind of a 'if you don't make the right choice then work on making the choice right' kind of thing. 1

All the more challenging when what you got ain't much. 2

If this was the primary reason, I would expect Obama would have gotten higher ratings in Utah than he did. I wish this is the most common reason, but I doubt it. I think it pushes the number higher a bit.

A Trump being republican and Utah being republican, kind of thing. I agree that the phenomenon doesn’t really seem to cross party lines.

He is an extreme case of loyalty, but I can see enough that tend even slightly that way to draw up numbers. Edited January 17, 2018 by Calm 1
Gray Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 It's interesting to me that he has such high approval ratings despite his many known adulterous affairs and his penchant for lewdness and being a peeping Tom. But I suppose if they didn't care about that, they won't care about recent revelations of his affair with a porn star while Melania was home with their newborn baby.

I assume Bill Clinton will get an apology from Utah and Idaho Republicans any day now. Glad I am not in the position of having to justify different treatment of similar behavior through transparently facile arguments. I am still in favor of impeaching both of them.
