This guy just doesn’t get that the Democrats are rotten right down to the core. And for the most part, so are the Republicans.
They’re NOT going to change. If they changed, they’d have to give up their perks, luxury, and lifestyle. And they’d have to stop screwing the American people to do it. None of these are acceptable to the DC ruling class.
But because his sense of self-worth is wrapped up entirely in his politics, he’ll never question that.
It’s Trump vs. EVERYBODY in Washington, DC.
where can they hide?
The media? An approval rating of 37%??? ROTFLMAO!
I’ve been following politics since I was a wee thing in Mayor Daley’s Chicago—who didn’t? And I have never seen anything remotely like this.
You’re right—Trump is taking incoming from every possible direction. A lesser man would be done in by it.
He’s got some serious intestinal fortitude. He can probably count on one hand the number of people he can truly trust. His loving family, probably VP Pence—he strikes me as a good man, to the core. And well grounded.
And yet our president just plows ahead, keeping promise after promise. Pro bono. For us.
He needs our prayers.
Why is the media’s approval so high?
Pelosi, Schumer?
follow these, “leaders”? BARF.
Huge grassroots movements, made up of millions and millions of people, are fueling the fight for:
a $15 minimum wage,
fighting back against fossil fuels
the Dakota Access Pipeline,
fighting to end fracking,
fighting to remove lobbyist money from politics,
fighting to end senseless wars and international violence,
fighting for universal healthcare,
fighting for the legalization of marijuana,
fighting for free college tuition,
fighting against systems of mass incarceration,
and so much more.
But mainstream Democrats aren’t really a central part of any of those battles
You’re right this guy is absolutely clueless. He’s the very reason why the democrats are unpopular. The Democrat hierarchy is being driven to the left by this ‘fight for’ rhetoric. Most americans don’t like it. He didn’t list a single ‘fight for’ that wasn’t funded by the soros “country killer” engine. Americans see that list of demands by the democrat radical wing and are instantly repulsed. Especially that you cant do line item veto’s on them. So the guy who likes the idea of legalization of marijuana wont vote for democrats because they are rioting in the streets opposed to affordable fuels. The guy who likes universal health care can’t tolerate the democrats demand for the release of lifetime criminals from the prisons.
But that being said, I wholeheartedly encourage his efforts to drive the democrats off the ideological cliff.
Its obvious that their message is just not getting through. They need to shout it out louder and more often so that the proles can see them for what they truly are.
More violent demos..thats the ticket according to lynch
Why such a high rating for the media?? Ain’t buying it.
This guy should have paid attention to what he wrote just a few paragraphs above:
Huge grassroots movements, made up of millions and millions of people, are fueling the fight for a $15 minimum wage, fighting back against fossil fuels and the Dakota Access Pipeline, fighting to end fracking, fighting to remove lobbyist money from politics, fighting to end senseless wars and international violence, fighting for universal healthcare, fighting for the legalization of marijuana, fighting for free college tuition, fighting against systems of mass incarceration, and so much more.
While a couple of goals (removing lobbyist money from politics and stopping the practice of pointless wars) would have across the board support, most of those goals are exactly the reason the Democrat party is so unpopular.
I wonder if it ever occurs to any of those kids who support the Democrat party that their lifestyle becomes absolutely impossible without fuel. While they are protesting pipelines (and causing extreme damage to the environment while they are at it), does a single one of them ever stop to think that if they got their way, their precious iPhones, iPads, and other electronic toys would become useless? They claim to want "sustainability," but does a single one of them have a clue that without the high-intensity farming practices and other modern technologies which actually do sustain a high population, most of them would starve to death?
I would guess that the reason they are upset with the Democrat party is that they imagine this fantasy utopia is actually possible, and the Democrats have no compunction about promising it. However, the more intelligent elected Democrats realize just as well as any conservative how impossible that utopia is, so do not and will not deliver on their promises. (The Sheila Jackson Lee and Nancy Pelosis of the congress are actually stupid enough to believe that they can get utopia by more socialism and ludditism.)
In case you’ve been living under a rock, Republicans now control the House, the Senate, the presidency, and the overwhelming majority of state legislatures and governorships.
And all they are doing with this power is continuing the democrat agenda and renaming democrat policies with republican monikers...
The guy’s initial point is correct - I don’t remember a time when Republicans were actually MORE POPULAR than Democrats, not even Reagan’s day, as the Dems could always promise the Candy Store to Americans, where the Republicans were much more of the ‘tough love’ types.
But now the Dems have run out of promises, and simply sit there to thwart Trump at every turn...and people are getting very sick of that, particularly since most of Trump’s agenda is VERY POPULAR in the country.
Huge grassroots movements, made up of millions and millions of people, are fueling the fight for a $15 minimum wage, fighting back against fossil fuels and the Dakota Access Pipeline, fighting to end fracking, fighting to remove lobbyist money from politics, fighting to end senseless wars and international violence, fighting for universal healthcare, fighting for the legalization of marijuana, fighting for free college tuition, fighting against systems of mass incarceration, and so much more. But mainstream Democrats aren’t really a central part of any of those battles, and, to be clear, each of those issues have deep networks, energized volunteers, and serious donors, but corporate Democrats virtually ignore them.
Yes the Democrats are losing because they are not more Socialist. By all means move the Democrat party further left.
Those millions of grass root supporters are for the most part in the coastal socialist bubbles of big cities and universities.
Move out of the bubble and you will find people who want smaller government, control over our borders, lower taxes, and less government regulations.
If I like the results of a poll, then the poll must be valid.
If I dislike the results of a poll, then the poll must be fake. :)
My dad...a life-long FDR Democrat...absolutely hates the Democrats now. Thinks they’re intentionally destroying the country. I just tell him, yes—they are.
