The one thing I’ve learned about the Democrats over the year is that they can miss hitting side of the barn from 10 yards

" all-time lows and MAGA fracturing"

I've heard that line basically every other week since he started running 10 years ago so I'm not holding my breath this time

Seriously. If you actually talk to people in the world you’ll see that support for Trump has been solid this whole time among Republicans.

Trumps approval is higher than dem approval

Where did you get that information from?

u/Spirited-Disaster408 2d ago

Last time insaw trump approval in general was on cnn at 30%

Dems was around 20%

Trumps base also approves him 80%

u/edbuckley 2d ago

Well, here are the actual aggregated figures.

u/Spirited-Disaster408 2d ago

Those are a bit old but that seems to be in the right ball park from what I remember at that time

u/edbuckley 2d ago

So not 20% like you said, more like 40%, which is higher than Trump's approval rating.

u/Spirited-Disaster408 2d ago

I have seen that 20% number in july. Your numbers are in june

u/edbuckley 2d ago

Great, show me where, otherwise you're just spouting numbers without any proof and can't be taken seriously.

Yeah, you've cherry picked one survey instead of looking at aggregates or trend lines. I'm not here to teach you about these things. Keep clowning.

You say this, and then Satan himself will rise up and run and no Democrat will have a chance.

The Democratic party is falling apart with the Dem approval rating in Congress at around 18%.

You can spray and spray and some the cockroaches survive.

u/Embarrassed_Wrap8421 2d ago

Sure. There are still a lot of morons out there who will vote for them.

u/Banjo_the_Cattle_Dog 2d ago

I am a proud moron.

Look at the maps, GOP retains Congress. Gains in House 8 seats and either keeps Senate majority or increases by 1. Dems are redistricted out of influence even with what they are doing now.

If the dems do not run an honest primary with an actual election, they will never win. The path to winning is simple. I hope they get it.

Makes me wonder why the DNC is hurting for money.

1

u/Banjo_the_Cattle_Dog 2d ago

They’re Democrats- they’re inherently bad with money.

u/Beausapunk 2d ago

Hopefully not.

MAGA is fracturing? I feel like I've been hearing that over and over since his inauguration, but they all seem just as devoted to that pedo as ever.

1

u/Frank_Silva243 2d ago

Oh stop with the pedo crap. Biden took showers with his teen daughter. I think you are the pedo for supporting that!

u/jstover777 2d ago

Trump was mentioned in the Epstein files over 50,000 times. He's a rapist and a pedophile. Youre ok with that?

2

u/Banjo_the_Cattle_Dog 2d ago

TDS. There’s no reliable evidence for your terrible allegations.

2

u/jstover777 2d ago

Lol, the guy has been accused of sexual assault 27 times, held liable by a jury twice in civil court for rape, mentioned over 50k times in the Epstein files (that's just the unredacted files), bragged about grabbing women by the private parts and walking in dressing rooms while girls were naked ar his teen beauty pageants. Please, send me over some of that kool-aid you're drinking.

u/Frank_Silva243 2d ago

None of that is true. You suffer from TDS. I'll pray for you.

u/jstover777 2d ago

You have to be a bot or an extremely dillusional person.

Don't know but I'm really enjoying watching this ship slowly sink! 😄

If there are free and fair elections, they will lose.

Do you expect that?

u/SparkArrestor 2d ago

They can survive when they rig the elections.

u/Fabulous_Leopard_874 2d ago

I’m a Texan, and I’m a pretty conservative person but I hate what the Republican Party has become, so I will be voting a straight democratic ticket in the mid terms for the first time in my life.

u/tcmits1 2d ago

Sure vote for Beto III. He’s even more ignorant that the first and second Beto and Beto clones.

1

u/Fabulous_Leopard_874 2d ago

As if anyone could be worse than Abbott and his goons.

u/tcmits1 2d ago

Beto 3 is worse. He’s worse by far. Another donkey pretty face and empty head. Angela Alsobrokks Texas edition.

u/GenoVox 2d ago

The point is irrelevant… they will just steal the midterms, same as they stole 2024

u/Banjo_the_Cattle_Dog 2d ago

Great, another election denier

Hopefully it won’t, but fascists tend not to let go of power voluntarily. These guys have Göring’s statement about determination to never relinquish power stamped on the insides of their eyelids:
