Former President Donald Trump has actually gained -- not lost -- political clout since leaving office, a political observer asserted Friday.
Politico reporter Tara Palmeri's observation runs contrary to the assumptions of many in the Washington D.C. establishment and the mainstream media.
"People don't want to hear anything against Trump," Palmeri said during an appearIn fact, there is now a "crusade" being waged on behalf of the former president in places like Wyoming, where Trump is "way more popular" that the state's high-ranking congressional Republican, U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney, Palmeri said.
She drew the conclusion after speaking with locals in the Cowboy State about Cheney’s vote to impeach Trump while covering an anti-Cheney rally led by Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla.ance on MSNBC. "Actually, the more he stays out of the media, the more that he becomes this martyr, this looming figure over the GOP.""I actually went out of my way to try to find someone who would defend her and I really could not," Palmeri told MSNBC.

Maybe they should not have stolen the election...
And gin up more desire to assault the capital again probably. Right aoc? Toss S*** against the wall and see if it sticks. And with the help of the enemeida, it seems to stick pretty well.
This should bring a shiver to the GOPe running dogs.
Wasted a lot of years following the word of Bush-Cheney weasels and their media whores. They have all been part of the cabal who’s only interest is managing our decline.
Et tu to you ALL!
She will get a job as a lobbies for a defense contractor.
Not a martyr...an example of how the evil of Dems works. And Pelosi is at the top of the list of evil people.
Persecuting people can sometimes backfire on you. Not new.
The majority of Americans, including some demoncraps, think that the election was a fraud. And now even demoncraps are having buyer's remorse seeing all the American jobs that are being shut down, and sensing the horrors that are about to unfold as a result of the flurry EOs that are being issued via a senile puppet.
The "Miss me yet?" is strong with Trump.
LOL, Life out of the bubble.
"I actually went out of my way to try to find someone who would defend her and I really could not," Palmeri told MSNBC.Try looking further south.
I vote to impeach Former President Trump in the summer of 2022 and if we do not take back Congress, then impeach him again in the summer of 2024. Just before those elections should set the tone.............
Shouldn’ta, couldn’ta, wouldn’ta.
All very well to be regretful NOW, but maybe the criminals should not have held up the bank and disrupted commerce, either. The time to stop them was BEFORE they made their getaway.
Pretty hard to dislodge the Mafioso once they have taken over a neighborhood. From their entrenched positions, they can cover up their transgressions pretty thoroughly.
Palmeri’s sort of gotten it right. She says that Wyoming is different from The Washington DC bubble. What she’s missing that this is true for all of the rest of the USA. The only people that think like she does are the Swamp Dwellers. She lives in their totally isolated bubble, and is clueless.
“This should bring a shiver to the GOPe running dogs.”
I think they are concerned, it’s why they want Trump gone too. They want to go back to business as usual, lots of corruption, no one noticing.
Heard that someplace. Was vacationing in a galaxy far, far away.
You all just wait. Trump explained what will happen if Joe and the ho manage to steal the election.
Do the rising fuel prices give anyone a hint?
Said before on a few threads that we will see gas prices so high that nobody will be able to travel.
Living along the I 40 corridor, I already notice a drop in truck traffic. When O’Bastard was in office, the truck traffic was nil and the mainline BNSF rail traffic, in which a train would pass about every 5 minutes, had dropped.
Add to all this the monetary policy the stupid mental retard Joe and his Ho are putting in force and like the Donald said, we will see a economic depression/recession like never seen before.
A BRILLIANT RAY OF LIGHT SHINES UPON US-— In 2020, several Dems lost b/c of left-wing rhetoric, like “Defund the Police”.
Some Dems are already squawking about Biden’s rhetoric, fearful of 2022 elections.
So it’s unlikely Marxists have a clear path ahead.
Giant-killer Trump’s already moving on this .... the log-rolling on Marxist issues will be amusing.
(h/t CptnObvious) The bad news for Marxists and RINOs is that congress is split. The US Senate is 50/50; the VP is the D’s only edge.
The House is 221D/211 and maybe 1 less D shortly (looks like Repub Tenney is winning upstate NY’s seat).
This gives Dems a razor-thin 9 vote majority among 435 representatives.
Empower him....like the FIRST time
