Donald Trump's presidency is a nightmare for Mitch McConnell's approval ratings

In the August 10-14 survey, conducted after the president spent days chiding the top Senate Republican for failing to secure the necessary votes to repeal and replace Obamacare, 50 percent of Republicans said Trump's rebukes were appropriate, compared with 32 percent who said they were inappropriate and 19 percent who didn't know or had no opinion. I noticed Stonewall Jackson is coming down", Trump said, "I wonder, is it George Washington next week? The survey period fully included Trump's first post-Charlottesville statement, the first "all sides" argument that took a beating in the press, and may have only barely included reaction to Monday's more prepared statement that rebuked white supremacists specifically. He remained quiet after the President then issued a new statement backtracking on that tweet.

He challenged those who denounced racism in general terms without calling out the president by name.

"I think that is what the Lord would want us to do - is just love one another".

"We've always had these weak, skittish, so-called Republicans in the D.C. crowd".

Two sources close to the senator, speaking under condition of anonymity to describe private conversations, said the pro-civil rights Republican who lived through the 1960s in Kentucky closely deliberated on the best way forward.

Trump also expressed common cause with white supremacists rallying against the removal of a statue of Robert E. Lee.

"It was clear the media went out of their way to find fault with his statement", Tarkanian said.

The responses indicate that much of the Republican base is still angry about the party's failure to deliver on its long-promised goal of axing former President Barack Obama's 2010 signature health care law.

"GOP voters are pointing the finger at Congress, often at the urging of a President willing to further divide the party despite that act making it harder to enact his agenda", Doug Heye, a former Republican National Committee spokesman and aide to former House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, said Tuesday via email. "Well, guess what? You just magnified her", said Susan Bro, who received a standing ovation from the hundreds who packed a downtown theater to remember Heather Heyer, 32.

"They tried to kill my child to shut her up".

State troopers were stationed on streets around the Paramount Theater, just blocks from where Heyer died.

Heyer, a white legal assistant from Charlottesville, was killed and 19 others were injured when the auto plowed into counterprotesters who had taken to the streets to condemn what was believed to be the country's biggest gathering of white nationalists in at least a decade.

The alleged driver of the vehicle, James Alex Fields Jr., 20, of OH, was charged with second-degree murder.

The lawsuit was filed in circuit court in Charlottesville by Tadrint Washington and her sister Micah Washington, who said they were physically and emotionally injured by Saturday's events. And is it Thomas Jefferson the week after?
