(#6404) 80 days until the election...

     We all can see the polling numbers for trump are in the very low 30 approval range. We can also see the generic ballot for democrats with a consistent upper single digit to low double digit lead for Congressional races. Yet trump doesn't seem to mind that. The problem with Congressional republicans is that they have hitched their wagons to trump and as trump goes so does the republican party. Now trump is even alienating the military by dismissing their duress as nothing important. Even intimating that they are crybabies for complaining about their uncivilized living conditions on ridiculously extended deployments at sea.
     So trump now has taken a base of voters he could have relied upon for some advantage and turned it into a base angry at him and his administration. It seems that if trump doesn't cheat somehow with musk or doesn't somehow manage to "abort" the election, he will be facing a catastrophic outcome like one we haven't seen since Barack Obama in 2008. In the back of my mind I think trump believes he will overcome all obstacles and win the midterms. But like his history has shown he is more failure than achiever. Like his gambles with casinos and hotels that bankrupted 6 times. Like his 2020 election loss that he is still crying himself about.
     Now just 30 days until Pennsylvania kicks off the early vote for the midterms. What all politicians who are trailing pre election, they appeal to voters through policies that are welcome by voters. Not trump, who is by far in the worst position in a midterm I have witnessed, he is only making we voters more upset at him. He is still trying to take our democracy away even as the voting time is nearly at hand. He is as callous to we the people as he has always been. He isn't appealing to our conscience with answers that explain his punishing us, no, he is in fact condescending and rude about how we are not as great as he is and we should all be grateful that he cares enough to even harm us with his presence.
