  1. Regardless of poll numbers, the failed Trump experiment of putting an insane President in the White House has convinced this independent never, ever to vote for a Republican for ANY office again. This is a pledge I made to myself that I fully expect to honor in perpetuity.

  2. His manipulation of the news has lessened the typical anti administration midterm backlash , since were not tired of Biden , but boy are we sick of trump!

  3. As a once registered independent voter, the GOP has lost any vote from me for a decade. The standard you walk past is the standard you accept, and I can’t get on board with the radical GOP party.

  4. WELP, this is what you get after Rupert Murdoch’s star liar figures out being on rag mag covers since the 1970’s didn’t make him the loved village favorite.

    1. “From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Matthew 4:17

      “Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.” Matthew 5:38-39

      “Shew me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered and said, Caesar’s. And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar’s, and unto God the things which be God’s.” Luke 20:24-25

      “And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.” Matthew 6:5-6

      “But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind: And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.” Luke 14:13-14

  5. As an independent voter, MAGA has pushed me towards enthusiastically voting for Democrats. The share insanity and criminality shows we cannot allow anyone who supports Trump anywhere near any position of power.

  6. regardless of the poll numbers, lets not forget that the rank and file republicans have continued to pledge allegiance to the orange clown and for that reason, we the people need to vote them out of our government on the local, state and federal levels !! Remember a republican = a liar and a fear monger !! If they win then we best be aware of what we will get and that will be more loss of rights !!

  7. With the announcement of NY AG’s lawsuit, they’ll go even lower, and with all the other ongoing legal problems, put a fork in him he’s done.

  8. I considered myself independent for many years, but I can’t get behind election deniers or liars. It seems like in the past decade the Republican party has gained more extremist right wing views. Could also be that I’m also paying more attention to politics. I know Democrat and Republican representatives have both strayed from the center over the years, but it’s a bit worse in terms of how Republicans tend to vote. Now with democracy being on the line, things become more worrisome.

  9. It’s not just the fact that Dumpster is still seen as the leader of the GQP with his popularity decreasing, as the number of allegations and criminal charges against him increases, its the rest of the GQP who think its advantageous to emulate Dumpy and do as he does.

  10. As a moderate Republican I’ll vote against the circus, I don’t like liars and I don’t believe in fairytales! Trump destroyed the party.

  11. Poor old republicans.. they created this MONSTER.. and sat on their hands after January 6th when they could have made a clean break and stand up for the ‘people’.. but they didn’t… and now they are getting what they DESERVE!!😂🤣😂

  12. People might say they view him negatively and still vote for him, it’s how they roll. Remember failure is success to these people.

  13. We would never have had the Trump Sh* Show if any GQP politicians had spines. The whole bunch of them will never see a vote from me again.
