He also signed the discharge petition for Ukraine funding, unless I'm mistaken. My understanding is his vote will hold effect until the seat is filled.

@@Ranemoraken wasn’t that Buck? He sign the petition on his way out

Ya think? Of course it was strategic.

On one hand, Gallagher did the right thing for the country by leaving a discharge petition so maybe desperately needed Ukraine, Gaza and Taiwan funding can get through the pro-Putin crackpots in the House, and he made sure to leave after the deadline so that the seat can't be filled by Republicans before November. On the other, he left yo cash in at a job, rather than staying to fight the crazies which is selling out.

@@arcticgoddess I just checked and I am seeing that Buck, not Gallagher, has signed. Is that incorrect?

I think Bidens dip, now rise, in the polls is from Democrats wanting (hoping?) someone else to be the Democrat candidate. But, now that Biden is by far the mostly likely, Dems are now comparing him to Trump, and the difference there is stark.

I'm sure your wife's boyfriend is very proud of you.

It's not about Republican versus Democrat anymore. It was easy to just talk normally, back in the days of John McCain, about this policy or that policy. We can't really have a normal conversation here anymore, because it's about having a free democracy versus having a dictatorship, with a corrupt dictator out for violence. I long for the inevitable day when we can go back to a semblance of unity.

@@RockstarRacc00n so you liked us better when we were spineless pushovers who barely disagreed with you on anything and barely even tried to compete with you is what you're saying?

Thank you for doing the right thing. Hogan, despite how principled he is, would still vote however Trump or the RNC desires. E.g. Mitch McConnell and Mike Johnson

Some people really have nothing better to do lmao. That said…Trump 2024!

Pretty much

You'll see the same on other UKposts accounts. The right is organized to look more powerful than it is, but that's nothing new. It's a machine... now literally, meaning bots do much of the spamming, but back in the day, volunteers used to follow links on group emails. The left has never been as dirty.

"Better than Trump" may not be enough. US elections are about mobilization of voters - beyond your base. The Democrats learned that in 2016 when they ran Hillary!

Dementia joe is horrible btw. Trump 2024

Me too. How the other half lives!

I wasn't really paying attention and thought he said "chubby chaser".

I think you are spot on right - the numbers are not accurate. This is what got the GOP in trouble in '22. I'm in my sixties, and do not answer numbers I have never seen? These polls are fundamentally invalid.

There are roughly 40 million of them and I think the abortion ruling has activated a lot of them. On a related note, I'm in my sixties and I won't respond to polls anymore either. They'll find out I'm voting blue on election day.

Also as Biden aggressively tours the swing states, even trying to pull Georgia and Texas in as contested states, while Trump stays in Florida begging for money, mirroring what Hillary Clinton did that lost her the 2016 election. Trump has also been slurring his words and making a lot of mistakes at pretty much every speech he gives lately, as opposed to Biden seeming to have good days and bad days, yet being very capable of giving a speech. I'm wondering what's going to happen when we get to the debate, and Trump either refuses to show up, giving Biden the opportunity to just give an uncontested Q&A, or shows up and either starts slurring his words or has a heart attack from cocaine use.

It has been a huge boon to Trump that he's not in the public eye. I think once people start listening to the things he says, and they're reintroduced to the drama and chaos, they see how bizarre his thinking has become, I think it will work against Trump. Much of the polling in Trump's favor, I think it's because people are grading Biden to a higher standard, and not because they're seriously weighing Trump against Biden. It's just hard for me to see a large group of voters staying mad over Biden admin flubbing Isreal/Palestine, when the other candidate will flat ban Muslims from entering the country. RNC research has shown Trump's base doesn't think logically about him. For examp, you can give a statement like, "the 2017 tax cuts congress passed transferred wealth from the middle class to the top 1%, and paid for it with defecit spending," and Trump voters will generally agree with it nd give answers indicating they think defecit spending is bad and the like. But if you add in the word "Trump", and call them "the Trump tax cuts," and you otherwise repeat the sentence verbatim, researchers found Truml supporters will flip their opinion. And you can do this on any issue. After a few rounds of this kind of research, the RNC found, no political messaging would work against Trump. It was so bad that the same respondants would flip their own responses to favor Trump, and say they had the opposite opinion. No modern candidate has ever worked like this. The research found his supporters will gladly contradict themselves, abandon purported values, or mould their opinion to favor Trump. So the RNC gave up. That's why none of the Republican primary candidates really ever said anything about Trump. Research showed, it would always backfire. You can't reason with people who think like this.

Age is the major problem For the CULT, mid 70's, all white males. GOP LOSES 2% a year, no one is joining the GOP.

Dementia joe is the one that's super cringe and super horrible both domestic and foreign

Disabled? No, in serious mental decline, which was not changed by the SOTU.

@bertbondy2997 "Joe Biden is an old guy" Good one. Zing. Gottem. Call the FBI. We've got a real assassin over here. A dumb assassin.

@@bertbondy2997for someone who was predisposed to think Biden is mentally gone maybe. But for most folks who are still open minded about facts, I’d imagine the SOU left people with a better impression of his mental state.

Yup. It's a tactic that keeps backfiring on the GOP. They keep setting the bar so low for Biden that when he looks good he looks great.

@@bertbondy2997 What signs of mental decline has he shown that the former president hasn't? Because for every example about Biden "having dementia", I feel there's at least a few examples that say the same for Trump.

Hence why it's a big deal that Hogan is polling where he is.

You left out Roe, Side ways talking republicans have sealed their fate as women are 60% of the vote.

Trump promising(?)/ proposing a national abortion ban and the Supreme Court gearing up to attack same sex marriage might have something to do with it. Project 2025 isn't just a pipe dream. It's the GOP's game plan and they're acting on it.

​@@124085gay marriage is an oxymoron and abortion is murder

How are you actually a real person? It blows my mind, and actually, sickens me a little.

Because we only talk about polls that favor democrats here, dammit!

If they nominate Alsobrooks, he will 10000% win. I hate to be so cynical, but it's the reality.

Real

Americans are done with a president who refuses to take a cognitive test so easy that a middle school kid could do it. This should disqualify Biden alone.

Not reported by any right wing outlets CENSORED.

Yes.

I'll just like, wear long clothes

Lol that's the biggest lie I've ever heard. Trump overperformed polls in both elections

Well they arent given any real choice in terms of policy, so...

Polls are useless? Then shut this channel down lmao

@@aegisfate117 Basically yeah

Biden has spent the past 3 and 1/2 years keeping his head down and running the country, Trump has spent the past 3 and 1/2 years running his mouth. Trump's numbers are getting better because people are forgetting about him over time, while Biden's numbers are getting better because he's no longer keeping his head down, but finally getting out a response to the constant lies Trump has been blasting the airwaves with since his landslide loss to him. It's going to be tight, and Trump seems to be in the lead by a few metrics, but Biden has a chance to turn this around simply by getting in front of people and exuding competence.

Biden went from 37.4% favorable on March 12th to 40.1% today. That’s a pretty big jump for 2 weeks considering it’s an average and correlates to right after the state of the union.

@@CB38096 you are completely disregarding how fluctuating the average has been though. On feb 21st it was 40%, then it stayed between 39-40% out the month. Then as march came along it started to go down towards the lowest point of 37.4% before it gradually went back up to 39-40% and is now at 39.3%. So if you are going to pick specific dates i can say from feb 21st till today he has lost favorability. And if you look at the average it has been between 38-39% fluctuating for half a year, which is where Biden still is now so again i am asking where is the shift? And if you want to talk about correlation to the state of the union then it is the opposite of what you claim. right after the state of the union Bidens favorability hit an all time low before going back to normal. Now idk about you but to me that seems like the state of the union just made a dent in the favorability and that's that.

@@CB38096 so again, can you please explain the "shift" when his favorability has been at about 39% since october last year and it is still at 39%? The only thing you showed was he got a slight hit to his favorability right after the state of the union address and then it bounced back to the normal of the past six months🤷🏽‍♂

@@CB38096 ever since october last year his approval rating has been around 39%. It has been above 38% for all of this year fluctuating between 38.5% and 39.5%. HTen after the state of the union it very quickly fell to an all time low of 37.4% before going back to around 39% (it is 39.3% as of today). So if it has been around 39% consistently for half a year where is the shift?

Eh still fixed the economy after Americas abortion of trump

You numbers mean nothing you say percentages and don't given any context to their significance

It's interesting how democrats only seem to exist on the internet during election years when the campaigns start. I mean we all know they run shill operations, they don't even try to hide that

It's every side of our political discussion. That's the reality.

You would be wrong about most of this.

REPUBLICANS refused to vote for bi-partisan immigration bill---best bill in 35 years--but, TRUMP said "Dont vote to fix immigration--I need that issue to campaign on!"

@@prasannasurange How is that worth laughing? President Biden's approval ratings are worse than any other President, since the creation of Presidential approval rating polls, with the exception of Jimmy Carter. That is not a sunny portrait - I understand you might think Biden has the edge, and frankly, I agree, but he would be the first one to tell you, the race is not going to be won, by expecting it to happen.

Not looing good for TRUMP who's looking at PRISON 2024. Better to support a man with 80 years behind him than 91 Indictments in front of him.
