Trump And The Rs Are Not Winning, MTG Rips Into GOP Over Health Care, New Ads And Videos Are Flying in NJ and VA

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Morning all. The CBS News poll released Sunday had Trump dropping 4 points in job approval since their last poll, and down 16 points all told (42%-58). Today’s Economist/YouGov weekly tracking poll has him dropping 3 and clocking in at an ugly -17 (39%-56%). In the generic ballot among registered voters Republicans dropped two points since last week, and Dems now have a 5 point lead, 44%-39%.

Trump’s waning ability to rally the public behind his big arguments is also very apparent in this new tracking poll:

Only 37% support the military in our cities

33% approve of his handling of the shutdown

30% blame Democrats for the shutdown

While they didn’t ask these questions this week, last week’s Economist/You Gov track had Trump at

38% approval on the jobs and the economy

36% on free speech

35% on health care

32% on inflation

and only 44% approval on immigration

In the Washington Post poll last week only 29% of voters wanted the ACA subsidies to expire. It was only 22% in the Kaiser poll.

1. Repugs are not trying win public opinion. They are counting on public opinion not

being reflected in the outcome of the next election. They are counting on controlling the outcome regardless of how the masses think/feel about them.

2. They don't care about polls.

Disapprove all you want. Until the 60% or so who disapprove of all these things get out in the streets every day and shut everything down it means nothing.

Not a scheduled protest, actual meaningful action must be taken and sustained in order to send the message.

Just saying “I don’t like this” and then going on to do nothing about it doesn’t help.

3. What has happened to MTG ?

4. My theory... She probably got schooled by Matthew 25:31-46, known as the Judgment of the Nations, since Jesus explains

exactly how the nations of earth will gather before him to be judged based on how they treated people. It's also known as the parable of the sheep and the goats. It's got all the main themes of Jesus's teachings: compassion, justice, fighting for the marginalized. It's Jesus giving his ultimate marching orders, the sort of story you'd think vociferous Christians like her might be more focused on.

Jesus's mandate to all people and nations: "All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on his right and goats on his left."

34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:

36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?

38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?

39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:

43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.

44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?

45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.

46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
