My ballpark estimate: In the recently concluded midterm campaign season, Democrats ran roughly eleventy-bajillion ads accusing Republican office-holders of voting — 98%, 99%, or 100% of the time — “with Donald Trump.”
Calling your opponent a “rubber stamp” is a smart tactic when the president is historically unpopular, as President Trump is.
