Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy admitted he would “absolutely” vote for the Democrats in the 2026 midterm elections if President Trump continues to rattle the economy with his sweeping tariff war.
The 48-year-old, who voted for Trump in the last election, told CNN Wednesday that he would still give the commander-in-chief a chance to prove his sweeping levies — but wouldn’t rule out jumping ship if the stock market continues to flounder.
Asked if he’d be willing to ditch the GOP if the market doesn’t improve, Portnoy responded: “Yeah, absolutely.”
“I was never some crazy MAGA guy,” the Barstool honcho added.

Portnoy is pretty much a total dumbass, and always has been. Many years ago, someone suggested I check him out when he was doing sports, and it made me disregard all future suggestions from that person.
“Portnoy’s Complaint” indeed.

Well, if the tariffs work, Trump is the hero. If they don't...he's the goat. There will be a lot of swing voters whose midterm vote will be dependent on the success of Trump's trade strategy. That's the reality at this point, and it isn't unreasonable if you're a swing voters.
Let's just hope it works, because then the midterms may buck the historical trend for second term incumbents.

A stupid statement by a stupid person. He clearly does not understand what globalization has done to our country, how China has been eating us alive, how unless the trade playing field is in most industries. This is no longer 1947 when we were trying to rebuild the world.

One bite pizza reviews He raised COVID donations for businesses. Portnoy is also a degenerate gambler.
What Democrat policy would improve his life? What real businessman would give a CEO just two year limit on a turn around? Would he just vote just to punish Trump? Unfortunately there a lot of superficial people like him voting.
To: ChicagoConservative27
Indeed.
Some people like their cages and abusive masters. It’s familiar, and the trauma is comfortable.
They cannot be taken seriously.

Doesn’t matter how much money he makes, he’s an empty-headed moron with no moral convictions.
The democrats and RINOs are at the very heart of every economic and social ill this country faces, and it’s going to be a long uphill battle setting things straight.
So yeah, flip your vote, and let everyone else do the heavy lifting for you, so long as you can party on, right?

Who's this con artist Dave Portnoy kidding? He's a Democrat through and through, and jumped on the "bro culture" bandwagon because he wanted to fit in.
The only person he cares about is himself.
