The old GOPe guard are circling the wagons.

quote:

On a recent episode of The Mark Davis Show, Abbott was presented with the fact that support for ICE is tanking. When he asked the governor what he would tell Trump to do to regain public favor, Abbott said:


quote:

In general, we need to have respect for law enforcement officers in the country. ICE, they are law enforcement officers. So they, being the White House, need to recalibrate on what needs to be done to make sure that respect is going to be re-instilled. That’s not an easy task, especially under the current circumstances. But I know that they’re working on a game plan to make sure that they’re going to recalibrate, maybe work from a different direction, to ensure that they get back to what they wanted to do to begin with, which is to remove people from the country who are here illegally, who were allowed in by Joe Biden — and especially those who posed the most danger.

Go after the employers. Cut off all funding. They will self deport.

Stop defending incompetence. Trump should not get free passes with so much at stake.

That might only cut out their remittances. They would still live here off government programs.

You know internal polling is bad if you’re losing Greg Abbott.

Also how bad does Trump have to f**k up to lose Rasmussen!??

It’s a fair point to say that you agree with the strategy and enforcement, while also admitting that the training and execution need improvement.

You don’t think Ras is credible? I mean I agree it’s not great but it’s just right leaning.

I think their training has been spectacular to have absorbed the utter bullsit they've had thrown at them with no retaliation.

Any of you who demand perfection in the face of constant abuse, unrelenting attacks, hordes of screaming idiots, doxing of your family, attacks by state officials are not living in the real world ---- you are the epitome of cowardly lions.

Polling science has been around for a long time, and has been steadily improving for decades. While it’s certainly a soft science, that thread didn’t teach us anything particularly new or relevant.

Especially as it pertains to the credibility (or lack thereof) of pollsters today.

Does the existence of a RAS poll somehow mean other RAS polls aren’t real!?!?

Do you know how to look things up on the internet? Maybe figure that out before you make yourself look like such a goofball

Rasmussen
