Here’s why Trump’s poll numbers are defying the impeachment mess
CNBC ^ | October 4, 2019 | Jake Novak

Posted on 10/04/2019 10:07:45 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

No matter where you turn, the news is filled with embarrassing stuff about President Trump. The CIA whistleblower complaint about his conduct on a call with Ukraine’s president has turned into a full-court impeachment scandal.

But through all of this, Trump’s approval rating is at its highest level of the year according to the Hill-HarrisX survey, and the other major polls taken since this Ukraine phone call whistleblower story emerged show few changes from the last surveys taken before the news broke.

How is this possible?

Anyone still asking that question simply hasn’t come to terms with why Donald Trump won the 2016 election in the first place. In short, Trump was elected to be the ultimate disruptor and to play that disruptive role as much as possible. “Drain the swamp” wasn’t just a campaign slogan, but a visceral feeling against establishment Washington in every way. Millions of Americans who voted for Trump and still support him chose him precisely because he is nasty, breaks the rules, and shows little respect for the political establishment at every level.

Great, dp0622.  You just highlighted why I rate Trump slightly higher than Reagan -- a President I understand you also greatly loved.

Trump understands: the best defense is a great offense!  Trump not only responds to the Dems, fake news, and Deep State, he attacks them and thereby cuts at the roots of the corruption that financially nurture the Fake News and the cultural rot that has afflicted our Great Republic.

Seeing bodies float down river, Trump organizes an expedition to go upriver and attack the source of our national problems.  This is what the Biden probe is all about.  And you bet: the pigs feeding at the public trough are squealing like crazy.

And so I repost my favorite of Ben Garrison's great grrrgrahics.

Isn’t CNBC supposed to be the financial network?

Is their investment advice as lousy as this misreading of today’s political climate?

It was very hard to get past that opening paragraph, but this generality-filled article finally does a good job summarizing why Trump will be re-elected. The statement...
No matter where you turn, the news is filled with embarrassing stuff about President Trump. The CIA whistleblower complaint about his conduct on a call with Ukraine’s president has turned into a full-court impeachment scandal.
...is downright silly. As Rush and others are saying, it is clearly NOT an impeachment but a strictly, highly partisan effort to oust the president they cannot beat in 2020 on the flimsiest of all reasons.

Gary Johnson will not get 3% next time. That vote will mostly go to Trump.

Novak has been more fair to Trump than anyone else employed by CNBC in his coverage

exactly how to get ahead in this cleaning house situation.
Such an expert, he is getting many more than one. One wonders.
We've found Biden's son, Pelosi's son, Kerry's son.
Just how many other sons, daughters and dogs are feeding from the public trough.

"How is this possible?"

Because America is still inhabited by honest people, despite the constant, ubiquitous barrage of propaganda from the corrupt.

The suspense is killing the Dems. Gee I wonder what corruption stories they will find on Rat Romeny. Wouldn’t that be great!

I think a lot of the anti-Trump hysteria is being driven by the Millenial-generation flexing their political muscle. They are a self-important lot because their parents — my generation — allowed them to be raised by TV and school teachers. The elites of the millenial generation & Gen-X are all over the News media — and so much of what they think they know just isn’t true because they lack wisdom which can only come thru experience. They are throwing a political temper-tantrum because Baby Boomers won’t let them have the political car keys.

Exactly right. But you must understand that CNBC isn’t talking about the rule of law or what is best for America, they are talking about the ever changing rules of political correctness and what is best for the deep state.

the news is filled with embarrassing stuff lies about President Trump.

The reasons his approval numbers keep going up?

1. Nobody believes the lies except the media who make them up.

2. Even if a handful of people believe them, they don't care. The only people "outraged" by these made-up "scandals" are people who hated Trump anyway.
