My trump oath, lol? Pretty weak stuff there, master. Pretty early on a Sunday to be that upset.

80% of Republicans approve of Trump, and energizing that base is the key to GOP performance. Late spending, and energizing the base are basic politics to win close elections.

Did you clutch a red flag and Das Kapital and think of the classless society while writing that post?

See how absurd you sounded?

The Republican convention solidified that a vote for their candidates is a vote for Trump and his machinations. People are pissed at him.

Did you recite your Trump oath today:

Please raise your right hand. I pledge to the greatest president in the history of the United States. That loves us so much he can't even breathe. That I will go out with my family, my friends, I'll do it any way I don't care if I'm registered or not, I'm going to try to cheat like hell like they do. There's never been bigger cheaters. They don't care. I am going to go out and I'm going to get my friends, my family. And we are going to vote on Nov. 3, or we are going to vote before that.



I have saved a spot for you in the Southeast Texas Trump Gay Death Camp. While I no longer run that sector, I still have input on intake.

I did. It's a funny joke he told and it drives the libs brain cells kicking around in their empty melons.

You want to post the follow up where he got serious and encouraged everyone to vote even if they vote democrat?

Or just here to troll by pretending an obvious joke was anything more than just that.

Do you have any updates on how the catfishing was on Operation Texas Grindr Roundup?

I heard they crashed servers getting gay prostitutes to show for dates with convention goers only to be rounded up and shipped off to one of your camps.

Exactly. Despite Cooper being a relatively decent candidate (good liar) in NC, he knows it's going to be a close one.

According to the recent poll you cited, as well as others like Reuters,

40% of Rs "strongly approve" of Trump.

40% of Rs "somewhat approve" of Trump.

That isn't great. Trump has the worst approval rating of any POTUS in the history of this poll question.

In uber deep-red states like Arkansas, Wyoming, Oklahoma etc where 70%-80% of the electorate are Rs or lean R, the approval math means the Rs will mostly retain their seats.

In the rest of the states, Trump loyalists and GOP strategists have been publicly admitting the hundreds of millions or billions of dollars being spent on their propaganda media blitz for the next 50 days is their best hope of getting some narrow wins.

Fine with me if you believe all of that, but I don't at all. The garbage public polls are generally showing a weaker (D) performance vs. what they were all projecting for veepthroat 2 years ago.


There are exceptions on the right, sure, such as Rich Barris being very bearish this cycle for the GOP, but most of 'us' on the right who watch this stuff are just laughing at the silliness in much of the polling at this point (including for Low-T).

Harry Enten over at CNN has him down to 78% approval in the GOP, down from 81 in July, but still higher at this point than either W or Obama. Rasmussen has him overall (not just within GOP) at 46.88%, which is pretty good too. There aren't a lot of significant congress critters/governors over that nationally, either.

50% of Americans disapprove of Rs.

That would seem to be a problem, except that 50% of Americans disapprove of Democrats and that zooms higher when you factor in DSA / Marxists are driving what little enthusiasm they have.

Then add in a 6 :1 or greater war chest advantage and it's not going to be any sort of blue wave. The opposite is more likely.

Dems are down to cheering on the IRGC / Canucks / Uke terrorists and the Hourhis as a core strategy for the midterms.

I get the feeling that both sides put more emphasis on having power than on actually winning for the sake of exacting change. Even for someone with a prolific lists of changes, trump's changes seem more towards cementing his legacy (or to keep him from being forgotten) than anything that actually helps Americans. Numerous easy "wins" (Gulf of America, DC cosmetic updates), but not a lot of real substance because substance is hard.

Iran was about protecting Americas future at the COST of midterms, the economy and his legacy.

Trump has shown incredible selflessness not seen ever with the exception of maybe George Washington.

Meh...

She's about as hardcore a Republican as you could get up in Maine. Take the 80+% vote she provides...the alternative is a 0% vote.
You can turn off signatures, btw

So, to his point, that would fall into the 20%.

She's the best the R's are going to get up there. You will take the good with the bad when it comes to R's in deep blue states.

Trump finally putting his money where his mouth has been;


I feel pretty good about OH, AK, IA and ME at this point. Would like to see more positive data on NH and NC. TX is not electing Low-T. MI and MN I'd put as coin flips. Dems will hold GA although in the governor's race are getting very dramatically outspent, so that would almost functionally be a pick up vs. Kemp the incumbent cretin.

Why is Trump not spending in Georgia?

Trump loves to go to Georgia and campaign. He should want to win that state.

He doesn't really need to in the gubernatorial race. Around 924:1.

Ossoff is relatively safe imho, but not a threat for 2028 because he is Jewish and Dems won't be nominating any Jews anytime soon nationally. GA is the solitary senate race where the Dems have a notable advantage in spend. As such, I don't really care if he goes there or not.

The party/candidate that spends more in the last 90 days in close races wins a vast amount of time it has been shown.

Not surprising one third of voters think the Democrats are the best no matter the issue. What do the other 39% in the middle think?

From a Reuters Ipsos Poll a few weeks ago.

https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/6051227-democrats-favored-cost-of-living-affordability-concerns-midterms-survey/

Quote:

The latest poll from Reuters/Ipsos showed that 36 percent of respondents preferred the Democratic way, while 28 percent said they would prefer the GOP's approach. The remainder said they were unsure or did not support either plan.

The statistic marks the largest advantage Democrats have had since the pollster started asking respondents the question last October steadily growing close to one year later and amid rising costs as a result of inflation and the Iran war's impact on energy prices.

Most American adults in the survey also disapproved of President Trump's approach to the cost of living, with 70 percent saying as much. Roughly 21 percent said the opposite, the survey found.

The overwhelming majority of Democrats in the poll disapproved of Trump's approach, at 93 percent, while only 3 percent said they supported it. Independents follow with about 75 percent disapproving his handling of the issue compared with only 12 percent who favored it.



This survey form Marquette as of 9/9:

https://today.marquette.edu/2026/09/new-marquette-law-school-national-survey-finds-democrats-expand-lead-on-congressional-ballots-trump-approval-declines/



Quote:

Americans are especially negative on Trump's handling of inflation and the cost of living, with just 19% approving. A substantial 64% say his policies are increasing inflation, while only 18% think they are decreasing it. An additional 18% think Trump's policies are not affecting inflation. This represents a sharp downturn in public opinion from the beginning of the second term, when twice as many, 36%, thought his policies would lower inflation, though 49% said he would increase inflation, as shown in Table 18.

There has been an especially striking change over the second term among Republicans in their belief whether Trump's policies will decrease inflation. In December 2024, shortly after his reelection and before taking office, 76% of Republicans thought Trump's policies would lower inflation. That percentage has fallen by more than half, to just 37% of Republicans who now think the president's policies are reducing inflation. Among independents, only 28% thought Trump would lower inflation just after his election, but that, too, has fallen to 9% as of September. Democrats scarcely expected Trump to decrease inflation, declining from 8% to 3% now.

Typical, short-term memory LIVs.

While Trump is doing himself no favors on this front, these idiots think the Democrats are better at managing inflation?

All have already forgotten the massive spending the Democrats did under Biden that caused much of our inflation we are still dealing with. I guess that inflation was good inflation though?

It's going to come down to gas, groceries and Iran.

The window for Republicans to turn things around is getting shorter and shorter.

This is what happens when you allow mass suffrage combined with a 2 party system.

>50% of this nation is mentally impaired with regard to any decision beyond "what should I eat today?" which means that they will assume the other team is better when the team currently in power is imploding. The past does not matter because to most people it does not even exist.

Yup. Surprise surprise. And this is with Survey USA. Not co/efficient or Rasmussen but their sweet sweet precious Survey USA (which surprisingly does very little surveying of the entire U.S. of A. but loves to poll San Diego).

SURPRISE SURPRISE.

You've heard of Trvth Nvkes. Now it's time for Revelatory Supernovas in the Sky. It's never been more over for the doomercons and the deceptocrats alike.

All has now been revealed.

Democrat in Minnesota: 42 share. Why aren't Democrats auto-voting for Democrats anymore? What is up with that.

And tied on margin.

And down by 4 on share.

And yet you think Joe Ossoff is just going to Walz into reelection with Kesha Bottoms as an anchor?

We really tried to warn them not to overlook Michigan, New Hampshire, and Minnesota. We pleaded with them not to trust the media and college polls. We lightly suggested they might consider history and reason when believing Democrats would have a new permanent majority after falling for it so many times before.

And you know what happened. They just double-downed. Well who is downing the doubles now. Not you.


Pretty funny.

The "silent" folks are growing in number as the fringe grows in voice. Creates for the misses in polling that are only growing further.

Why people continue to swoon over them shows an ultralemming mentality. Worse is believing social media represents some sort of sentiment of the nation.

Common sense tells you the Dems are nervous about the midterms as they are throwing everything against the wall like AI doomsday whilst propping up their broad tent of Shia socialism.
