I think you have to go back to Marcuse and the concept of “no enemies on the left.”

You are either for him or you’re a RINO.”

Rome is burning and he is the only one showing any energy to fight the fire. I can get his shortcomings 24/7 from the media, work and family. In fact I cannot escape it. As far as I’m concerned the rinos stabbed me in the back for years. And so many of them proved to be unworthy right after the election. But I will take votes anywhere I can find them. But the dirty Little secret is that most of the republicans in Congress do not really want border security.

And also, her visceral hatred of Trump does not allow her to do otherwise. The Dems close ranks around them, because they don’t want to be primaried by Saikat Chakrabarti and his minions and sponsors.

Because they think there are enough Muslim, black, and Hispanic Jew haters in Michigan and Minnesota to help flip the 2020 presidential election.

President Trump’s approval rating has been improving and now is at his all-time high and just a few points shy of what’s needed to guarantee him a second term.

In the latest SurveyMonkey/NBC poll out Friday, Trump is at 48% and he reached 49% in a daily YouGov.com poll this month.

With the usual disclaimers about polls, I would say it’s arguable Trump’s maneuver against Pelosi and the Squad did him more good than harm.

I wonder why people always argue 3D chess versus (petulant narcissism, etc.). He’s just wizened by experience and a bit clever, with the unique ability to not give a shit what “right thinkers” think of him..

Trump does not have to be Einstein to understand marketing and predict the behavior people in power, enough to take a bank shot, or game the 2nd order effects of his tweets, in this case putting Nancy and the Dems in a bind, forcing them to commit to the radicals.

Setting aside the micro-analysis of tactics, i relate most to, and think there are a lot of, people who find him alternately repulsive (narcissism crudity), and endearing. Endearing because he’s having fun manipulating the left and the media, and shows genuine (if unsophisticated, “tut-tut” NRO) love for the US and wants to rack up wins for the country.

I voted for Chuck Norris in 2016 (Gerry Garcia being unavailable), to be able to say that “I never voted for that pig” (plus I live in Massachusetts, not Ohio so having no impact on the witches chances).

This time, I will vote for Trump. I think there are a lot of people in the same place, but they are reluctant to broadcast their views.

I find it refreshing.
