Gallup: Voters Don't Care Very Much About Issues Liberals Care About a Lot
PJ Media ^ | 07/23/2018 | Rick Moran

Posted on 07/23/2018 10:20:10 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Gallup has released a poll of the most important issues facing the country. It was taken earlier this month and, in what must be a terrible surprise to liberals, no one even mentioned climate change or "the situation with Russia."

Regarding economic problems, there is little concern about inflation (good for Republicans) and there isn't much worry about the "gap between rich and poor" (bad for Democrats).

On non-economic problems, more bad news for Democrats. Not only is there no mention by voters of climate change and Russia, but worry about immigration/illegal aliens tops the list.

Liberals have been harping on health care for months so it's not surprising it comes in at 6th. Right behind it is worry about the "decline of the family."

Gun control is 9th, but sliding in importance from previous months. If history is any guide, it won't be much of an issue by election day.

It seems that the average voter just doesn't care that much about issues that liberals believe are life and death.

Not to worry, the Uniparty will ensure that their votes are meaningless. Letting the voters decide their own fate would be un-democratic.

As far as immigration issues are concerned, the whole.kids at the border thing backfired on the media and liberals.

Most people didn’t feel her pain when Rachel Maddow cried about this issue on MSNBC. Liberal radical types view many issues differently from the rest of us.

Rational, thinking human beings don’t care about what liberals care about.

You may laugh, but after this Trump experience I believe that is EXACTLY what they're cooking-up.

With the liberal meltdown over Helsinki, many of us are left to wonder, exactly what are they melting down about? Misspeaking in a press conference is treason, as bad as 9/11? When we hear how the liberals react to events, they have no clue how foolish they look to the rest of us

Why do you think the Uniparty has its panties in a wad?
Trump won, he’s dragging the ‘Pubbies along with him, and he’s undermining the Uniparty control of the Judiciary.
President Trump is also damaging the effectiveness of their primary weapon, the media.
The only thing the they will have left is their control of education.

We always wondered if the ‘rats were going too far in splitting their constituency into separate groups of one-issue voters. Looks like they’ve reached critical mass with that project.

Thanks, and your last item should be the primary focus of the President, beginning now!! Youth are being indoctrinated K-12 and Undergraduate through Graduate Schools!!

Must return to passing on the "ideas of liberty" to future generations, or liberty will be lost for generations.

People don’t generally vote for leftists based on the issues. They vote for them for free stuff, based on identity politics or for hate’s sake.

A buddy of mine explained it once when we decided to cross that line in conversation. Always knew he was a squishy leftie, he knew where I stood.

We both agreed not to get mad, because he had one question for me.

Why are all these things working? They shouldn’t be and he doesn’t understand. Trump’s tactics should not be working in the world he knows. It shouldn’t be Trump doing these things, it should be Hillary or Sanders.

We were both confused. Him about why Trump’s strategy was working, and me about why he cared it was Trump doing it.

So, we went back to the night’s game. No time for politics, we had zombies to kill.

Won’t be an issue unless some liberal mental idiot goes on a shooting spree as an October Surprise with one of those scary looking black assault guns.

Leftist Democrat issues?

Oh, like demanding sanctuary for illegal aliens, wide open violent borders, making citizenship all but pointless, releasing violent prisoners early, higher taxes, higher fines, fees, more government regulation, ban firearms, ban rights, ban American monuments, support for deviates, smut, abortion

What great issues the leftist have! Come 2020 the Democrats are going to get KO'd.
