4. His "support" is "eroding" and "waning" and "fading" according to the criminally complicit press.

It goes on and on and on. If he weren't part of the Neocon hegemony, and was a Democrat, they would have annihilated him weeks ago.

5. It's the "Who Cares What They Think" mentality that has hijacked

The People's House since the year 2000.

Why R we not surprised?

Democratic reps and sens: time is running out to (really) act.
