Poll: 70 percent angry at political establishment

The majority of Americans said they are angry at the political establishment, which they say benefits the well-connected class, according to a new poll.

Seventy percent of Americans said they feel angry because the political system seems to only be working for insiders with money and power, according to an NBC/Wall Street Journal poll released Sunday.

The poll found 43 percent of Americans said the statement described them “very well” and 27 percent said it described them “somewhat.”

It is statistically equivalent to the number of Americans who felt the same way four years ago, ahead of President Trump’s 2016 election, based on the poll. However, the feeling shifted from Republicans to Democrats.

Twenty-nine percent of Republicans said feeling anger at the political establishment described them “very well,” which is a ten point decrease from 2015, based on the poll. But, 54 percent of Democrats now resonate “very well” with the sentiment, which is a ten point uptick from 2015.

The most significant increases were also seen among women under 50, up 10 points to 48 percent, African Americans, up five points to 46 percent, and Hispanics, up 11 points to 49 percent.

So women and blacks and hispanic discontent went up.

And democrat discontent soared.

Gee, that’s too bad.

They missed the whole point of the question and in their heads just inserted the word “Trump”

Yawn.

At this point in the bongo-bongo regime the dhimmicrats were winning, but Americans most decidedly were not. Now we’re seeing both dhimmicrats and pubbies losing but Americans doing pretty well. The difference? Orange Man Bad.

Things never got any better for most Americans until the shift change. Again point goes to Trump.

Dhimmicrats are eager to flush all this down the toilet in exchange for an empty tic in the “win” column.

I’ve been angry since both parties refused to secure the borders and enforce the laws like they promised in exchange for the 1986 amnesty.

All bureaucrats and police state agencies are leftist and statists.

Voting makes little difference. Jury nullification.

You would be stupid to trust your life to any jury. Been there, done that.

NBC/Wall Street Journal poll

I stopped there to conserve brain cells, no further reading required

Waste of time reading MSM propaganda wrapped in a poll

The whole 2020 thing is remarkably simple. Only two things have to happen for President Trump to have a greased slide back into the White House.

A. the economy must remain strong. Unemployment has been all but wiped out. Despite the stock market histrionics and constant attempts at recession psyops, the Trump Tax Cuts still carry the day. China will cave; it has no way out (it’s in the math), and the market will restabilize.

B. President Trump must not drag us into any stupid wars. Unlike his predecessors, the man who they all promised us would start a global nuclear war on Inauguration Day has been a model of restraint.

That’s all that Sane America cares about.

TDS has driven the Garadene pigs so far off the cliff that there is no chance of rescuing any of them. They create the illusion of having an impact because they control the media. But, only to a point. President Trump can wrest control over the entire media complex and dominate it for 24-48 hours on a whim with a single tweet.

Hillary had a billion dollars, stole every dime that the DNC had in the bank, and enslaved the entire giant “news” propaganda machine. How did that turn out?

The only potential speed bump is Michelle. I don’t mind saying “I told you so”. The LAT just floated the MO as FLOTUS plea.

I’m not saying anything that you don’t know, and not making any recommendations, but there’s only one box left.
