The big takeaway from the failed attempt by the Republicans and their leader, Donald J. Trump, to repeal Obamacare and to replace it with Trumpcare was that Trump's approval fell to 36%, the lowest approval level of any new President.

Donald, you earned that.

Not only did Trump prove incapable of motivating his own team or the American people (whose calls went 48 to 1 against Trumpcare), but he proved again that he cares only about winning, not about the American people. 24 million Americans would have lost healthcare coverage under the Trump health care bill. Trumpcare will ignominiously go down in history, bearing Trump's name and securing him the dubious honor of having the lowest approval rate of any new occupant of the White House.

That said, Voices4Hillary wants to highlight a little noticed fact of this major executive fiasco.

Trump's approval rate among Republicans continues high, very high - 84%. His approval rate among Democrats is at a record nadir - a shocking 8%.

The partisan divide is at an all time high.

From the New York Times, March 28, 2017.

This country has many problems: a Presidential election in which the "winning" campaign and perhaps candidate colluded with a foreign power to affect the election; painful and continuing problems of race and gender; the existence of and fallout from massive income inequality and circumstances which support and create it; problems connected to climate change which havegrown exponentially as Trump takes aim against science, and then there are foreign policy issues as America's reputation falls worldwide and Trump's reckless actions and policies unsettle and threaten world peace.

With an electorate almost equally divided by Party, and a values gap as documented bythe Trump approval rates, solutions seem oh so far away.

Will proof of treason unite us?
