Trump's Superpower Is Getting Democrats To Oppose Him On 80-20 Issues

great observation from Scott Jennings on CNN

they hate him so much, that they just can't help themselves; they are conditioned to make a knee jerk reaction & just jump in to oppose & obstruct ANYTHING he pushes!

here's to hoping that they don't wise up anytime soon (or at least until WELL after the '26 midterms...)

quote:

SCOTT JENNINGS: This is -- he's describing what is currently the dumbest strategy in politics, which is Democrats taking the 20 percent side of every 80-20 issue in America. USAID, people want this pared down. They want to streamline. They want to know where the money is going, Democrats have a meltdown.

Today, Donald Trump signs an executive order on keeping boys out of girls' sports, and Democrats take the 20 side of that issue as well.

All these issues, this is like Trump's superpower, finding a bunch of 80-20 issues, getting on the 80, and everybody who's sort of reflexively against him gets on the 20. And now the Democratic Party has like a 31 percent approval rating. This is why.

Trump has absolutely destroyed that party and corporate media along with it.

It's incredible when you think about it given all the opposition he's faced. He's a tough sumbitch.

That clip is from Wednesday night. CNN would get more hits on that entire segment (it’s longer than the RCP linked video) than they get viewers in a week of live programming if they weren’t too chicken shite/ communist controlled to post it on their own website.

I don't know if Jennings is wasted on CNN or if that's just his fit.

I mean it's like shooting fish in a barrel

Basically a religion. Their god is government. Nobody can support the ideas they support and believe in Jesus or any other idea of a just and loving god.

Imagine trotting out Schumer and Cory thinking that is a good strategery. They haven't learned.

This is what happens when you overly buy into muh enemies bs.

Conservatives sometimes do the same shite with the Clintons and Obumma.

But the difference is Dems are so terrible and weak at everything that it just doesn't matter nearly as much.

Dems almost never have the rule of law or natural law on their side.

And they end up losing at everything they do.

Why associate yourself with a loser?

Yep

He is proposing:

No tax on tips
No tax on SS
No tax on OT
And renewing his tax cuts from 2016 that are set to sunset that doubled the standard deduction



All these “clearly” support the rich…….


…..but they will be against it.

Is this really a strategy or is he just doing common sense stuff that most people would do in his position? Democrats just happen to be on the wrong side of all of it.

There are issues I would agree with Bill Clinton circa 1992 on.

There are virtually no issues I’d agree with Barack Obama circa 2008 on.

Bill Clinton from 1992 is basically a Republican today based on his platform. Hell he had pins with the rebel flag at the DNC convention when he was nominated and no Republican would try that today so he might be more extreme socially than even the Freedom Caucus wing of the GOP today.

Trump is a master at this. He takes the Dems and is just mashing them.
