Trump can’t get it right on almost everything these days. His efforts are backfiring on him. He doesn’t seem to notice. Is he ever looking at the news and not just explosions? Does he know one of his big ideas is working … for the other side? He’s not helping Republicans, except for his personal choices for Congress (go the eff away, Ken Paxton), which really isn’t any help at all. He made some mistakes in choosing the people who would “primary” those he was pissed off with, and hell hath no fury like a Republican scorned. They know where the skeletons are. With respect to Raw Story:
President Donald Trump’s pitch to GOP voters this election cycle may very well be what hands Democrats a historic midterm victory, former Trump official Miles Taylor predicted on MS NOW’s “The Weekend” Sunday. “I genuinely think that we are seeing Donald Trump mount an absolutely historic get-out-the-vote effort,” said Taylor, a former senior advisor for the Department of Homeland Security. “The only problem for him is he’s doing it for the other side.”
Now this is interesting, yes? A former official is saying the votes will come from the wrong side? He may not know Trump as well as he did during Donnie’s first term, but he knows enough. Trump has changed, but not completely. Some characteristics carried over. His ego is one of them. And being an advisor to DHS certainly gives him a good idea of what is behind that curtain (pay no attention to the man behind the curtain)—moving along.
His fellow panelists burst out laughing. Earlier this month, Trump claimed that if his controversial voter ID bill known as the SAVE America Act became law, Republicans would maintain control of Congress for 100 years. He also told Christian GOP voters that if they supported him in 2024, they “don’t have to vote again” as he and Republicans would have it “fixed so good.” “Almost three in four Democrats in this country say this is the most important midterm in their lifetimes, extraordinary enthusiasm about getting out to vote in this election. On the other hand, Republicans’ enthusiasm is very soft this election cycle,” Taylor said.
Trump’s people don’t seem to realize that there are two things they aren’t doing that will hurt them at midterms. The first is that Trump lies. He breaks his promises. Those two actually combine into one. And ETTD. They are far too complacent about needing to vote. They will see what’s going on too late to do anything about it. Anything that will help us is good. It’s frustrating to not be able to help our Democrats, because here in Georgia, we need to keep Jon Ossoff, our Democratic Senator, in office. It’s looking like his race is getting interesting, because we have a couple of Trump-backed candidates running for office.
“If China or Venezuela or these random countries that he chooses are going to make my vote not count, why would I vote? I’ve talked to Republican strategists who would love for him to stop talking about this, but it’s been 10 years, and I don’t think he’s going to.” Taylor argued that while Trump’s own words may very well suppress GOP voter turnout, they were also a key factor in Democrats’ enthusiasm heading into November. “If you look at the data right now, there is a remarkable enthusiasm gap between Democrats and Republicans, and it’s largely driven by Trump himself,” Taylor continued. “Donald Trump has made Democrats feel like the fundamental right to vote is at stake, and a lot of folks worry that would result in voter suppression.”
Trump’s own words. He’s going to be soooo upset if he ever figures it out. It’s really critical for us to take over Congress. There are a number of things that have to be stopped as quickly as possible. Even with Trump as president, if we had Congress, we could still do a fair amount. Trump needs to keep helping us out as much as possible. Some of the ridiculous things going on may be needed to keep distracting him – such as, oh, the Forever War and getting America out of it. In the meantime, Trump’s an overconfident, arrogant, clueless moron. Let’s finally make use of that.
See you soon!
Friends, I know everybody begs you for money. I promise you that, of all the outlets bugging you for spare change, we are the smallest and the hardest-working. We’re a bunch of old, disabled people, except for one writer in his mid-50s. But the rest of us are in our sixties and seventies, and this is a labor of love. All we’re asking for is the ability to continue our quest to tell the truth about Trump and help ensure democracy survives. If you can help, please do. Thank you. Ursula
