You seem to be tempted to defend Biden. If you think Biden is an improvement WRT the border you are absolutely nuts. If we had a wall now Mayorkas would let them all in anyway. Biden is selling the wall materials so states won’t be able to use them. When states build barriers Biden’s minions sue them or the BP destroys them.

Or the folks south of the border saw through them, even though they’re impenetrable.

If it was that easy for the invaders to get through the barriers, why did the BP tear them down, and why are the feds suing Texas for installing floating barriers?

Sounds like you are beyond TDS. Do you think it's foolish or wrong for states to defend themselves (and at the same time the nation)?

Poll Details:

Analysis: This is a D+7 poll.

Q: Should the trial of Donald Trump’s sensitive documents case take place before the 2024 presidential election in November 2024?

YES Replies

Analysis: The Democrat response is 65% greater than the combined Republican + Independent response. The "3 in 5 people want Trump to face trial before the election" headline is misleading because the Democrat skew of the poll is dominating the statistics.

Q: Do you believe that Donald Trump is guilty of the alleged crimes in the falsifying business records case?

YES Replies

Analysis: The Democrat response is 90% greater than the combined Republican + Independent response.

Conclusion: This is a Democrat-skewed poll. The headline is misleading because it is solely the Democrat responses that are driving the poll statistics.

They haven’t torn down the Trump wall. The shipping container wall ordered down.

More bull crap. MOst people do not care about the so called Trump tria.s. After double fake ipeachments, a fake investigation by the FBI ( Crossfire Hurricane) and a Special Counsel Investigation that found nothing.......INdependent voters know that TRump has done noting worong but shake the foundations of the political elite from both parties. And Independents will vote for Trump.

Thats what has the Dem lefty bastards worried enough to publish this push poll crap.

The poll internals are

1032 Resident samples. Not RVs. Not LVs.

That sample was 272 GOP, 321 Dems, 319 Ind.

That is oddly selected from ABC/WaPo surveys which 2 weeks ago had Independents as 47%. This departure probably derives from Residents vs people who can actually vote.

The party mix is not well done, and they also screened regionally. This means they could concentrate GOP samples in California.

It is overall not a great poll. They are leaning heavily on that statistically poor conclusion that Trump will lose 6% of support if there is a conviction. So they are polling to get a desire for verdict, in a very poorly sampled poll.

"Trump’s problem then was that by August 2020 he was out of cash,"

After raising more money than any incumbent president in history. That should have been a big red flag right there. He blew through that money and what did he have to show for it?

In fairness, the pandemic threw a wrench into his calculations. He was stuck between a rock and a hard place. The lockdowns killed his chances in 2020. On the other side, Europeans are extremely critical of the loosey goosey US lockdown and vaccine regimen. Whatever he chose, there would be vociferous opposition to his policies. His problem? They had to be decided on in an election year. Wherever individual voter factions stood, he had no time to recover, to buy some of them off with something they might like, as a consolation prize. The flu epidemic of 1920 wrought similar carnage on the Democrats, gave the GOP (AFAIK) its biggest* House majority ever, with 303 Reps.

The Democrat peak was 334, in 1936.

“At the same time, I don't think Trump is the best candidate for the White House. His broken promises, suppression of the GOP vote due to reckless statements uttered on a whim (that I agree with) and just out from left field policies (drug dealer amnesty, DACA amnesty now for a wall later) indicate that his fundamental positions are a cipher, perhaps even to himself. I'll vote for him if he's the nominee, but the GOP can do better.”

Facts are facts, and your post proves you are a McConnell/McRomney/GOPe supporter.

In spite of all the criticism of Trump's New York Style and his choices to head government agencies and cabinets, Trump was a tremendous success. Let's go down the Trump memory hole and review the Obama/Biden/Hillary impediments and Trump's successes.

To begin with there was the Hillary inspired Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax that was known to and thereby approved by the Obama/Biden Administration. Think about that, a previous POTUS purposely set out to obstruct an incoming administration. That has never happened in American history. This was unimaginable just 8 years ago. Unfortunately due to the piss poor reporting by MSM, millions of Americans like you fell for the Democrat lies and actions.

Was Trump wrong March 2017, when he accused the Obama/Biden Administration of spying on him? No, he was not, but who believed him? He was not being outrageous or narcissistic. Trump was accurate and told the truth. Do you give him credit for that, huh do you? Do not forget Governor DeSantis was then Congressman DeSantis. What did Congressman DeSantis do about all that Hillary/Obama crap from 2012 thru 2018? FYI, DeSantis chaired the Subcommittee on National Security (Remember the illegal unsecured home server while she was Secretary of State?) and served on the Foreign Affairs (Hello Benghazi!) and Judiciary Committees (the deletion of 30,000 emails). One could make the argument that then Congressman DeSantis was not effective at his job, couldn't one?

Then there were the two Impeachments - 1 and 2 and finally the Special Prosecutor Investigation. Impeachment 2 - Trump gets impeached for one phone call with Zelenskyy while Biden's Crime Family made millions off of Ukraine's corrupt company Burisma. Simply unbelievable! Yet, you attack Trump and do or say absolutely nothing about Biden and the danger this country is in due to the lack of unaccountability!

Despite the despicable, malicious, and bullying behavior of Obama, Biden and Hillary and the very anemic RINO(Paul Ryan, Senators McConnell and Romney) response, which recent POTUS was as successful as Trump?

Here is a shortlist of Trump's accomplishments in the 4 short years that were positives for the majority of if not ALL Americans:

The gas price per gallon was about $2.30 vs $3.80 under Biden. This is a cost increase of $30/20 gal refill for each American and a significant cause for inflation as well as making America's enemies, Russia and Iran flush with money for a war in Ukraine and financing Iran, Hamas and Hezbollah terrorists.

Inflation was about 1.4%, mortgage rates were half of what they are now.
Unemployment was low before Covid and before Blue Governors shut everything down and we were in the midst of a V-shaped recovery until January 22, 2021.

Tax decrease - tax laws promoted small businesses as well as large.

US enjoyed energy independence - No Green Agenda, no war on energy, no Paris Treaty.

No war in Ukraine, no threat of nuclear war, NATO paid its way.

China was quiet and the US was winning the trade war.

US companies were bringing home well paying jobs due to well executed tax treatments.

There was peace in the Middle East, aka Abraham Accords; the US Embassy moved to Jerusalem; and Iran was isolated and facing financial ruin. Remember Trump's audacious assassination of Iran's Qassem Soleimani? Remember how difficult Trump made life for Iran by enforcing economic sanctions?

https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/trump-s-assassination-iran-s-qassem-soleimani-was-smart-thing-ncna1111586

How about Trump destroying Isis in just a matter on months?
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/heres-how-much-ground-isis-has-lost-since-trump-took-over

Trump handled Syria and Russia elegantly and successfully.
https://apnews.com/article/fee4d978f1ca42aaa891a59c5307a261

Trump got three non-left “I don't know what a woman is” Supreme Court Justices on the bench allowing Roe vs Wade to be overturned.

Trump had an excellent Economic Team and the US enjoyed a AAA+ rating that Biden's Team destroyed within 2+ years:

https://time.com/4440711/donald-trump-economic-advisors/

They were brilliant! And do not forget Wilbur Ross.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cabinet_of_Donald_Trump

Funny how Russia was quiet during the Trump Administration. There was no Russian invasion of Ukraine until Biden took over. Why was that?

I hope you remember this:
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-nuclear-summit-obama-medvedev-idUSBRE82P0JI20120326

This was a very memorable and strategic event early into Trump's Administration:
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/apr/12/trump-xi-jinping-chocolate-cake-syria-strikes

The above is why Putin behaved himself during the Trump Administration. Putin invaded the Ukraine under Biden just like he did under Obama when he claimed Crimea.

Who the heck can accomplish the above in four years while being impeached twice and investigated by the Obama/Biden Weaponized Agencies?

Trump received 11 million more votes in 2020 over 2016. Never has a sitting President lost when receiving more votes in his reelection bid. Trump increased his vote total by 17+%. Trump can claim victory in 17 of the 18 bellwether counties but still “lost” according to the Dems/MSM?

Do you really believe that Stumbling Bumbling Biden received 15 million more votes than Hillary? That is an amazing and unbelievable 23% increase in votes for Bumbling Biden than Hillary. The election was blatantly in your face stolen.

Face it, Trump did one hell of a job! Compare Trump's job to that of Biden's. Attack Biden instead! People are suffering under Biden and all I witness are attacks on Trump by the brilliant GOPe and fools supporting the brilliant GOPe Presidential dwarfs.

The only reason DeSantis, et al. is gaining little traction is because of Trump's very successful four years. The single digit support of the GOPe Dwarfs is proof that the GOPe and foolish supporters of the GOPe are on the wrong track.
