I had never heard of the Washington Times. It popped up first in the Google machine. But
I gotta think they’re still a step above MSNBC or CNN if we’re judging bias/credibility as a news organization.
FWIW the same Monmouth poll was cited by Fox News, Bloomberg, and Yahoo News among others. I’ll spare you the screenshots. Point is, his numbers aren’t great. So now I’m confused. Because
@rico tells me we’re living the dream; it’s the roaring 20’s all over again, milk and honey everywhere- including his pecan tortilla.
Problem is my damn lying eyes and ears. I haven’t met a single person in recent memory who has anything good to say about the economy. No one- and we work for customers of all backgrounds and income levels. No one thinks things are good because they aren’t. No one is talking about how easy it is this year to buy Christmas presents. Because it’s hard. You get the point. My theory is that people vote their experience. They trust their gut and their eyes more than any article in the NYT about how everything
really is great- when food and rent are about all you can muster.
If and when people vote for Trump it has little to do with the man. He is simply a GIANT middle finger to the people currently presiding over our obvious and precipitous decline. He’s just a symbol. A wrecking ball for an elite administrative class that should have been condemned years ago.
