CNN has had to admit that the Republicans have gained popularity while breaking down polling data regarding the shutdown.
Chief Data Analyst Harry Enten says the shutdown, which was supposed to hurt the GOP, has actually helped the party's brand.
The polls come amid the federal government shutdown, which began on October 1 and is quickly approaching the one-month mark.
Citing the Generic Congressional Ballot, which shows that the Democrats are less favourable than at the same time during Trump's first term.
Enten goes on to say the Democrats are in their "worst" position in 20 years and that the number is "concerning" for the party.

Never fear!
The spineless RINOs will find a way to snatch defeat from victory.

So much winning and so not tired of it yet.

I want to see the Democrat Party crushed...I mean CRUSHED. They have done so much harm to this nation that the extent of it is unfathomable. Only the vengeance of God will suffice for them. Any Republicans or ANY politician of ANY stripe that is helping or has helped them do all of the evil things they have done must pay for that.
From a CNN article about all of this, “The writing is on the wall.” Well, well, interesting how that saying has been used throughout history since it happened. Something has to happen to crush the Democrat Party over this shutdown because now it is PLAINLY clear they care nothing about the people, only themselves and their power.
What was that other thing they used to say about Trump…. oh yeah…
“The walls are closing in.”
If CNN is admitting it’s bad, imagine how bad it REALLY is.
😄
How true.
The Dims have tried everything to stop the Trump Train, and this shutdown is just their latest attempt. They’re losing in the court of public opinion, and are now looking for a way out without looking like losers.
Once again, they’ve underestimated President Trump. He’s a fighter.
By its own weight would be best. And not by external force as it would fragment like cancers across our nation.
Take heart, under Wokeness, the party is breaking apart.
The Democratic party was a loose coalition of conflicting groups:
Abortion vs Latino: Pro-Choice vs Pro-Life
Caucasian Liberals vs African Americans
Homosexuals vs Jewish
Catholics vs Moslem
Democratic vs Socialist
Military Industrial vs Peace Protestors
Women's Liberation vs JFK strong Men.
As long as they were under Liberal leadership, they co-existed because liberal to them meant giving and generous.
When they went Woke they started breaking up; generosity diminishing as wokeness demands all for Marxism.
Deconstructing America was the Woke plan. Deconstruct the American Family, Deconstruct American Organizations and Deconstruct the Country. America would implode on itself.
But due to Trump turning the lamp back upon themselves, the Party:
JFK Strong Men aging out fast - Shumer for example.
Hemorrhaging Latinos - Anti-Family etc.
Hemorrhaging African Americans - Cities Looted and burned - jobs gone.
Hemorrhaging Women - Girls Sports gone. Women's lib abandoned.
Hemorrhaging Straight Youth - Young straight abandoned for Transgendered
All these and more are getting less and less rewards for being in the party and the Wokes getting the dough from folks like Soros and the NGOs.
Please pray that the Democrats and their leftist press would continue to implode and be crushed by their own inherent divisiveness.
Please Pray the America would return to a true Constitutional government with secured one person votes.
Please Pray that moral leadership and Kindness would replace the current selfishness rampant in our Politians and We the People ourselves.
Please, give thanks to God whenever you see things going in a good way and when common sense prevails.

The Democratic Party is undergoing a civil war and the more extreme Leftists seem to be winning and are taking over our cities. We'll have to see how this plays out, but they are not dead.
One might think that CNN would extract the meaning of what they’re reporting and profit from it.
Ask yourself . . . does a Democrat House or Senate seat holder care more about his or her individual seat than they do about getting the majority?
I think we know there is no question. The individual seat is all that matters.
What can put it at risk? Well, not a red wave next year. The vast majority of seats are not competitive.
So what can put it at risk? Their extremists are 10x more extreme than ours. THEY WILL PRIMARY. The safely held seat can be ripped out from under the current occupant if that occupant DARES TO BEND THE KNEE.
There is no visible path to end of Shutdown. They won’t risk their seats to primary. Polling showing the GOP is ahead MEANS NOTHING.
There is.
Nuclear option.
CR is not in the Constitution.
Its merely a stupid Senate procedure whereby a bill that's been passed already needs yet another 60 Senate vote CR for it to be implemented.
Its totally stupid and must go.
Trump hasn't even started pushing it.
He will if necessary.
Democrats tried to end it last time they were in power, so what's the problem with Republicans ending it now?
