🍿

i'm looking forward to more videos, texts, etc
but we know by now
that trump can do anything he wants without repercussions
so its only value is going to be for entertainment
enough popcorn to weather the storm

can continue to motivate democrats and tank certain republican candidates in the midterms

in that way his ass can be on the line which is better than nothing

It's amazing how entertained the lowest common denominator is.

Pander to the clueless sheep as the world burns.

I wouldn't say there are no repercussions. From Republicans, sure, but he still has room to go down from the mid-to-upper 40s down to the lower 40s in his approval rating (mainly from independents) and the GOP can still go down a few points on generic Congressional ballots across the country.

There's still a lot at stake despite Republican's unwavering support of the President. GOP support is steady and reliable but the key for Democrats will always be giving more reasons for their own larger group of voters to turn out, and that may or may not change based on Presidential or Congressional approval ratings.

the big issue for trump is that he's super polarizing, but the downsides are in effect permanently while the upside only applies when he himself is on the ballot. usually, the GOP enjoys a significant turnout advantage in midterms, but the opposition to trump has really riled up the democratic base. in 2016, trump was able to counter this by creating a massive surge of rural white working-class voters, but so far, everything points towards these voters (that he himself had brought to the ballot in 2016) staying home this time.

basically, the enthusiasm is there for the Dems, and its not going away anytime soon. therefore, everything that depresses GOP turnout spells disaster for them. they could have hoped to get their base motivated before the midterms by focusing on their successes and 'wins' on the policy front, but this wont work when the message constantly gets drowned in the news cycle by some unnecessary, self-inflicted drama in the Trump White House.

so those omarosa tapes probably wont move the needle too much in trumps approval ratings and the generic ballot, but this fall, the margins are very very small, so even minor slips in support, enthusiasm or turnout can have huge effects on the outcome of the election.

And that has fuck-all to do with what I said, or what you ORIGINALLY said.

Your GIF right back at you, pal.

You can't argue with Sauci. He's a moron.

In other news, Trump publicly calling out social media silencing conservatives! This is a great timeline to live in.

You are just turning arround while its not necessary, urbanized people tends to vote at left, while rural will tend to vote at right, it's not applying all the time but it's a clear tendancy.
Now if you are disagree with this im suggesting you to contact the economist & the washington times and inform them urgently about their mistake.


Same for you, a canadian with a trump avatar and 170 IQ should know his place

Dance, puppet
