Rasmussen Survey: The Future GOP Voters Want Can Be Summed Up In Three Simple Words
Townhall ^ | 12/29/2020 | Matt Vespa

Posted on 12/29/2020 8:29:24 AM PST by SeekAndFind

The party has changed. We all saw this in 2016. Four years later, the transformation is complete. President Donald J. Trump is the Republican Party. Those on the Hill unwilling to fight could see themselves out of a job soon. Well, maybe not all, there are annoying folks, like Mitt Romney, who will probably represent their states for life given the demographics, but the Olympia Snowe’s of the GOP are either being primaried out or forced out. The party is more populist. It’s bluer collar. And to the liberal media’s chagrin—actually is more diverse. Trump gained among non-white voter blocs and nearly doubled his share of the LGBT vote. He did suffer marginal losses with white working-class voters in the Midwest, but those voters can and will probably come back once Joe Biden screws up the economy. Yet, we’re not here to discuss the 2020 election. This is about the future of the GOP. Nearly 75 percent of Republican Party members are quite clear regarding what they want to see the GOP become in the future. Three words describe the trend: more like Trump (via Breitbart):

Three of four GOP supporters want their legislators to “be more like President [Donald] Trump” in 2021, according to a Rasmussen survey of likely voters.

The poll of 1,000 likely voters was taken December 21-22, as GOP legislators debate how to counter or cooperate with President-elect Joe Biden and how to regain the House majority in the 2022 midterm elections.

The poll asked: “As the Republican Party reorganizes itself next year, should it be more like President Trump or more like the average GOP member of Congress?”

Republicans picked the “more like President Trump” option by 72 percent to 24 percent, while conservatives split 67 percent to 28 percent.

Rasmussen’s survey shows that 72 percent of GOP voters wish to see the party continue on its Trumpian track. Why? Well, for starters, it showed results. The Trump agenda create the best job market for black Americans—ever. It created millions of jobs, incentivized companies to dole out bonuses to workers, and reinvest their capital here. Consumer and small business confidence reached their highest levels in years under Trump. Countless records closings with the Dow Jones. Oh, and unemployment reached its lowest levels under Trump in nearly 50 years. Also, the man delivered endless uppercuts to the liberal media establishment, knew their moves before they did, and executed expert trolling of liberal America that drove them insane. For once, we have a Republican who didn’t show these people any respect since they didn’t deserve it. He exposed how terrible they were at their jobs and how they were no more than cheap sluts for the Democratic Party. We all knew it, but Trump made sure to shame them on national television and at rallies pervasively. 

Tens of millions flock to his banner. The president commands masses that are loyal, passionate, and pissed off over the 2020 results. Trump has hinted that he could run again in 2024—pulling a Grover Cleveland. Should that happen and he declares, the primaries are over. The field is cleared. And anyone who dares to run against him is assured total destruction. There’s simply not enough Trump skeptic Republicans to pull off an upset. Money is not an issue. We know there is a lot of anti-Trump GOP money out there. How did that fare in 2016? Jeb Bush had a $100 million war chest and failed miserably, amassing a whopping four delegates during his failed run. The GOP right now is loaded with energized and battle-ready patriots. They’re a pugnacious bunch. There’s nothing wrong with that. we need to understand that the other side is dishonorable. They’re trash. They’re bad people who cannot be trusted. Why shouldn’t the default setting be to pick a fight with them? The new GOP adds new zest to the landscape right now. Some might be worried about the rise of the so-called far-right elements. Some might say it's extreme, but it’s also the counterbalance to the left-wing cancer engulfing the Democratic Party. It’s not a hard choice, folks. If job creation, loving our country, supporting free speech, and ensuring a strong and secure America at home and abroad is far-right extremism, then I’m a proud right-winger.

When I saw thousands of patriots chanting "We Love You" to President Trump at one of his rallies, I knew he would win re-election. I'm 68 and have never seen a crowd chant those words for a candidate of any kind. Anywhere. Ever.
This theft must be stopped.

There will not be a RINO party if President Trump is not in the White House till 2024. Hope the RINO’s realize that! But I bet not! They are to busy padding the bank accounts and not caring about the American People!

Who wrote this, what has happened to journalism in they country? If it originated with Rasmussen they need a new analysis. “while conservatives split 67 percent to 28 percent.”

A “split” implies 50/50. 67% to 28% is not a split it is an overwhelming majority of conservatives want someone like Trump. As a Independent conservative it kind of makes sense, but the percentage is a bit suspect. I support Trump now, but initially held my nose and voted for him. But honestly he has not exactly been fiscally conservative.

Here is the real headline and a warning to the GOP!!!! GREATER then two thirds of your voters want someone like Trump. NOT like Jeb, NOT like Romney, NOT like Lindsey and NOT like Christie oh God no NOT like Christie.

The American people want two things:

1) A strong state that protects them and cares for them when they are in need.
2) A state that puts America and Americans first, and which protects and defends their families, their churches, and their communities.

The Uniparty has arranged matters so, if you are a voter, you can have one but not the other. You are supposed to prioritize one, and hate your fellow Americans who prioritize the other.

You don’t absolutely have to hate your fellow Americans - just as long as you don’t hate the man behind the curtain. THAT can land you in a lot of trouble, in a big hurry.

And by “demographics” we mean that Mormon Cult.
