Trump makes people feel lousy. That could spell his political doom
CNN ^ | July 26,2019 | Frida Ghitis

Posted on 07/27/2019 9:08:27 AM PDT by Hojczyk

When Americans turn their attention more fully to the 2020 election, voters will be interested in candidate proposals about health insurance, student debt, and the like. But the way to a Democratic victory is more likely one that also promises an end to the awful feeling that now pervades much of the country. That sense of constant war against each other. That floating dread about how far this will go.

Americans have endured more than two years of ugly stories from Washington; stories of corruption, of conflicts of interest, of payments to adult-film stars, of secret meetings with Russians, of Cabinet members that resign or are fired amid ugly scandals, of collapsing global approval for America's leadership, of shocking tweets day after day after day after day. Trump's approval rating largely conceals the level of disappointment, weariness and exasperation many Americans feel.

To win, Democrats must remind voters of the true promise of America, a country of people who have come together and built a great nation founded on lofty ideals that have inspired the world. They have to persuade voters they will restore a sense of optimism and bring an end to the exhausting, embarrassing era of Trump mayhem

Who is selling the mayhem? It wasn’t Trump.

That said I don’t disagree with the analysis that optimism rather than endless squabbling is critical to Trump’s re-election.

More CNN Fake News. The more regulation he cuts, the more tariffs he raises, the more border wall is built, the more illegal alien criminals are sent back, the more the stock market rises, the more he dumps on the socialist Swiad, the better I feel. Trump: Making America Feel Great Again!

I feel great. The Donald’s winning streak reminds me of the Reagan years. Too bad, so sad that liberals are sad. Boo hoo.

What they miss is that it's them, not President Trump, that we blame for this barrage of nonsense.

I'm hoping 2020 proves me right.

Actually the lunatic left and their daily antics makes me feel lousy. Luckily they live in a country where their violent, insane, and ignorant juvenile nonsense is put up with.

98% of the time, PDJT makes us feel really much better!
a 1000 times better than under the illegal Obama regime (or how it would’ve felt under HilLIARy!)

one thing CNN has finally figured out..is that PDJT is in tune with America and that Americans like him

of course, CNN only knows how to lie about it, but its clear CNN has figured it out

Sorry, but I can’t agree with the author’s assertions. Nothing can compare to the misery I felt as I watched my country die under eight years of Obama. Trump’s election left me dancing like a butterfly with sore feet and it’s only gotten better in the two and a half years since.

He makes those, who hate America and his deploreables miserable 24/7, with their terminal TDS.

He makes the rest of us happy and proud to be a supporter for President Trump and MAGA!

There is, in fact, an “awful feeling” in this country now. People are getting thrown out of restaurants, attacked for wearing a MAGA hat, etc. But that feeling is not caused by Trump. It is caused by CNN, MSNBC, etc.

The MSM are’t content to say that Trump is wrong. He must also be smeared as a racist, a Russian stooge, etc. The MSM deliberately caused that “awful feeling”. Then they have the nerve to complain about it
