Well, now, isn’t that something? Susie called a meeting. To me, that says they are more than worried about Trump and midterms. Susie called. What on earth is going on here? Is it so bad that even she is worried? It just blows my mind, so time to share it. Respect to Raw Story:
White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles has called together dozens of Republican strategists from across the United States for an “urgent closed-door summit” as the GOP looks ahead at potentially brutal midterms, according to reports on Monday.
The GOP operatives were reportedly aiming to prepare for the expected challenge this fall that could be a serious struggle for Republicans to maintain majority in Congress, according to The Daily Beast.
“One of Donald Trump’s closest aides just hit the big red panic button as the president’s standing with the American people plummets before this year’s midterm elections,” The Beast reported.
Potentially brutal? More like probably. Trump’s approval ratings are bombing (pun intended) them into a hole, and they may not be able to climb out of it. The GOP can try to separate itself from Trump, but it’s a hard sell needed to pull away from him. He’s the “leader” of the Republican Party. Even by association, people are still going to take that with them to the polls. There are always *some* diehard Republicans in any area. It won’t matter to them. But others? It very well could hurt at midterms.
These strategists were expected to provide insights and additional support to Republican candidates in the months ahead. Wiles, who was Trump’s former campaign manager, has reportedly tasked James Blair, her former deputy in the Trump administration, to prioritize midterm strategies for GOP candidates.
The move followed a strategy session in February after the cabinet and other MAGA operatives reviewed potential strategies. As Trump’s approval rating has taken a dive and is hitting around 37 percent, there has been “growing urgency inside the White House about the midterms,” according to Politico.
Now, since this story was from yesterday, it’s a little outdated, but not by much. I wanted to tell you about Susie. Trump’s approval rating has dropped below 37% in a major way. We’re happy about it, both because we detest Trump, but he’s also setting a record for his presidential ranking in the wrong way. They’re going to need a whole lot of strategy to somehow overcome what they are seeing now. There isn’t much they can do. The economy, inflation, being locked out of buying a house, and the price of gas are the only things I can think of at the moment, but there are certainly more. Oh, oops, add in the war. There’s a whole lot of “bad” for them to fight against. May they enjoy every minute.
See you soon!
Friends, I know everyone begs you for money. I promise, among all those asking for spare change, we are the smallest and the hardest working. We’re a group of old, disabled people, except for one writer in his mid-50s. The rest of us are in our sixties and seventies, and this is a labor of love. All we’re asking for is the chance to keep telling the truth about Trump and help ensure democracy survives. If you can help, please do. Thank you. Ursula
On top of the bad things you listed, the horror of seeing friends and neighbors detained, deported and murdered. Add that to the things to overcome.
Got that right! That’s a stain on their legacy and our legacy both. Hope that made sense.
Is it my imagination or does Susie look very much like Trump’s mother?
Hmmm I do not know. I have no idea what his mother looks like. Admittedly, I have a soft for Susie so I try to pick decent pictures. That would be a good Late Night piece 🙂
