“The raid and the way in which it was orchestrated and reported gives Republican and swing voters a jolt that will essentially carry through the midterm elections and perhaps beyond,” he added. “There is no question that Republicans and President Trump can leverage this to their political benefit.”
Fellow pollster John Zogby argued that Trump would be able to seize on the raid because — in spite of his wealth — he had appealed as a candidate to those who resented being “abused by ‘elites.'”
“He has been able to hone that message because, despite the bravado, bragging and over-the-top lifestyle, he is a man who personally feels deep resentment for not being treated seriously by those same elites,” Zogby said.
“He is at his most effective when he portrays himself as the victim. And he makes a direct appeal to those who are scared of losing economic or social status, feel as if they have been bullied, or are simply afraid of the future.”
Zogby continued, “He had the good fortune to run against the epitome of the elite [Hillary Clinton] in 2016 and now the scenes of his home in Mar-a-Lago — despite its gaudiness and arrogance — are directly from central casting in a move that would portray Mr. Trump as victim.”
Other prominent political watchers predicted on Twitter that Trump’s support will only surge after the 45th president complained about his estate being raided, “occupied” and “under siege” by the feds.
Former “The View” co-host Meghan McCain, an outspoken critic of Trump, tweeted in response to the news: “This better be legit – or you’re making him a martyr and just handing him 2024 on a silver platter…”

It’s almost as if he set them up.

Really? It takes that many people to write an article? I’ll ignore it based on the idea that socialists need a commune to produce anything.
It’s not just the writer, it’s reporters at multiple locations, photographers, etc.
The RATS just sealed their fate.
November can’t get here soon enough.
Don’t matter they will still have the majority all the way to January to literally destroy this nation once and for all.
Complete BS, it doesn’t change a single mind. Those of us that know and support Trump still support him. Those that hate Trump, and the American way, still hate Trump and are willing to do absolutely anything to destroy him. My God, these people are using the Patriot Act on parents that dare to speak-up at school board meetings. This is nothing, compared to what they have been doing since before 2000.
The dumbocrats always seem to go “a bridge to far.”
I’m real grateful that my civics or government teachers in high school in the DC metropolitan area all had good gouge and experience working around the political mob. The stories were... often times, bizarre in the extreme. Mostly LBJ, but quite a bit about the JFK, and Watergate was breaking by that time.
They want to charge him with something (anything) before the midterms. The indictment of whatever crime is likely to be the October surprise, so that (they hope) any GOP candidates connected to him will be “tainted”.
My hope is when they see the reaction to this, it will give them pause.
“The ex-president of the United State is either about to be charged with a dramatic and possibly heinous crime by the FBI, or his supporters and Republicans alike are going to become so angry that the political ramifications will be felt like an atomic bomb in midterms and beyond.”
Its nothing Trump did. The denizens of the deep state are just that arrogant and out of touch. They truly do not realize how they come across to others.
He likely picked up a bunch as well.
FBI is now looking fpr Hillary’s emails a Trump’s place.
Deep state wants to neutralize Trump and eventually, his supporters.
November is an eternity away. Much can happen before then.
The GOP needs to relentlessly refer to the raid as the Trump FBI Raid SCANDAL. . . a partisan raid on the home of an almost certain Presidential candidate in 2024. . . 1,000 times worse than Watergate.
