The ‘Great Resignation’ continues as another GOP representative exits, marking a trend that showcases a disheartening reality within the Republican Party. The sentiments expressed highlight a chaotic, inefficient, and ineffective majority in Congress. The departure of members from their own party serves as a glaring indicator of a deep-rooted issue within the GOP, with Trump often being cited as the core problem leading to this mass exodus. The toxic political climate perpetuated by the former president has driven a wedge within the party, creating a schism between the old guard conservatives and diehard Trump loyalists.
The concept of Project 2025 and the far-reaching implications it holds for policies related to social security, LGBTQ+ rights, and safety nets like school lunches, only adds fuel to the fire.… Continue reading
Joe Biden leads Donald Trump in eight polls. It seems like a glimmer of hope in the midst of political chaos and uncertainty. As I see more and more individuals of influence distance themselves from Trump, choosing not to vote for him, it makes me question why anyone would continue to support him. When even those close to him can’t stand by his side, it speaks volumes about his character and his suitability for office.
The reality is that national polls do not determine the outcome of the election due to the Electoral College system. It’s the swing states where the focus needs to be, as seen by Biden trailing in most of them.… Continue reading
I have always found it perplexing how millions of GOP voters still support Donald Trump despite his controversial and divisive nature. Losing by 7 million popular votes should have been a wake-up call, a signal to be more inclusive, but alas, that bridge was burned down in hopes that enough of the team had already crossed over. The fact that so many GOP voters express dislike for Trump yet still vote for him speaks volumes about the complexity of party loyalty and political allegiance.
It is disheartening to see that history has shown Republicans consistently coming home and voting for their nominee, regardless of personal reservations.… Continue reading
I never thought I’d see the day when Nikki Haley’s donors would switch their allegiance to Joe Biden over Donald Trump, but here we are. It seems like a smart move on their part, considering Trump’s dismissive attitude towards their support. Trump’s strategy of alienating those who could potentially support him is baffling, to say the least. It’s almost as if he’s trying to lose this election, though we all know that his erratic behavior and questionable decisions are just par for the course.
What’s interesting is that Trump’s supporters often seem to lack concrete reasons for backing him, aside from criticizing Biden.… Continue reading
right? The evidence is out there, plain as day. The fact that there are still individuals who need convincing is mind-boggling. But then again, when you have a cult-like following, it’s no surprise that some individuals will refuse to see the truth, no matter how glaring it may be.
The numbers speak for themselves. A significant percentage of Republicans believe that Trump is guilty of a crime, yet they still plan to support him in the upcoming election. It’s a baffling contradiction that speaks to the deep-rooted tribalism and cognitive dissonance within the political landscape. How can one acknowledge someone’s guilt and still throw their support behind them?… Continue reading
Well, it seems another Republican is calling it quits and pointing fingers at the dysfunction within Congress as the reason for their abrupt exit. Representative Buck’s resignation in Colorado’s 4th District is causing a stir, especially for Representative Boebert who may now face challenges in securing a win in the upcoming elections. It raises questions about loyalty to the party versus standing up against what one perceives as wrong.
The current state of affairs within the Republican Party seems to be in shambles, with infighting and lack of cohesion prevalent. The recent departure of Buck highlights a growing trend of Republicans distancing themselves from the party, perhaps in a bid to preserve their integrity.… Continue reading
The GOP base has undeniably shrunk compared to the last presidential election. While the headline may grab attention, the actual decline is only slight, with a 2% decrease in those identifying as Republicans since 2020. The numbers may seem insignificant, but in the grand scheme of things, every voter counts. It is crucial to understand the implications of this shrinking base, especially in the context of the upcoming election.
Recent polls indicate that two-thirds of Republicans would still vote for Trump even if he were a convicted felon before Election Day. This unwavering loyalty is a testament to the cult-like status that Trump has attained among his supporters.… Continue reading
I often find myself contemplating the recent news that Canada’s Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, thinks daily about leaving his “crazy job”. The sentiment expressed by many Canadians, including myself, is not one of surprise but rather a mix of frustration and resignation. Trudeau’s tenure has been tumultuous, to say the least, and his popularity has undoubtedly taken a hit over the years. Many have criticized his leadership, pointing out instances of mismanagement, unkept promises, and a perceived lack of integrity.
It’s true that the political landscape in Canada seems grim at the moment. The alternatives to Trudeau don’t seem very appealing, with the rise of extremism on both the left and the right creating a growing rift in Canadian politics.… Continue reading
Ken Buck, a Colorado House Republican, recently announced his resignation, hinting that more Republican resignations are on the horizon. This revelation is not just significant because of the individual departure but also speaks to a larger trend within the GOP. It seems that the internal dynamics and power struggles within the party are reaching a breaking point, leading to a potential exodus of members who no longer feel aligned with the current direction of the party.
The current state of the Republican Party is tumultuous, to say the least. The cult of Trump has taken over, pushing moderate Republicans to the fringes, if not entirely out of the party.… Continue reading
Donald Trump stung as new poll shows how unpopular he is
The revelation that Donald Trump’s favorability ratings are plummeting in the eyes of the public comes as no surprise to many of us who have been paying attention to his actions over the past four years. It is alarming, however, that despite the disastrous consequences of his presidency, there are still individuals who view him favorably. The fact that 29 percent of surveyed individuals have a positive view of him is concerning, to say the least.
Surely, losing the 2020 election should have been a wake-up call for Trump, indicating just how unpopular his divisive and damaging policies were.… Continue reading
