Trump Botching Coronavirus Response Weighs On GOP Political Polls | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC

    1. @nevermore from past basically ” 1+2= Democrats are Communist fascists trying to destroy our families by murdering all Christians”. I’ve actually had people argue all 3 of those at once

    1. This man is the CORE Malignancy that is Destroying America and American Lives. In the 40 Years of McConnell’s Political Career he has done ONE Thing: ENRICH Himself (est net worth MILLIONS, over $26,545,343.00). However, the State of Kentucky Ranks 47th In Proverty. McConnell has advanced the Concerns of his Wealthy Donors. They Invest Millions In Campaign Donations and Receive Billions In Return (Tax Breaks, Helpful Legislation, Deregulations, Obedient Judicial Appointments …)
      ▪︎The Donors Provide The Millions in Campaign Funds
      ▪︎ FUNDS Which McConnell Employs To CONTROL the GOP. Example? Trump’s Impeachment. VOTE as McConnell says OR:

      1. No Campaign Funding from the McConnell HOARD. AND
      2. McConnell will RUN another More Obedient, Well Financed, GOP Candidate Against those who do not “toe the line”. It Is McConnell the GOP Fears; NOT Trump.
      It reaches into the BOWELS Of The Most Key GOP States.
      3. How? GOOGLE: The McConnell Center and The McConnell Center Academy.

    1. @TARS, CASE, & JuJu – Wash your mouth out. Jesus was a lefty. Ppl like you cheered as he was crucified. You need to apologise to God.

    2. Probably the people who think they will have critical thinking if you choose the opposite from the majority.

    3. @9000ck I’m afraid nature hasn’t been kind to these poor souls. They are swimming in the shallow end of the gene pool.

  1. He’s already got his scapegoat (china) lined up for his dumb supporters to blame. I do hope few of them fall for it.
    But whatever. His push to re-open schools is likely to give him a bump in the polls, as people want to get back to work. Sadly it will result in a decline in those same polls when the bodies start dropping..

    1. Canada did much better, we should outsource our response to Trudeau. We just can’t do sruff anymore.

    2. @C B Crawford COVID deaths per 100K are higher in Canada than in the US. FACTS matter…fyi it’s called google

    3. @Biden is NOT the candidate you seem like the sort of guy who says “fact” in all caps when pointedly not saying facts. Hm..

  2. The numbers aren’t anything surprising. 4 of 10 residents in Texas approve of the Presidents handling of Covid. That should seem mindboggling to those of us that use facts and reality to form our opinions.

    1. @Biden is NOT the candidate
      “FACTS matter” ? ……………. Here are the FACTS !

      For G7 members:

      https://www.statista.com/statistics/1104709/coronavirus-deaths-worldwide-per-million-inhabitants/ (as of July 14, 2020).

      DEATHS PER 1,000,000 HABITANTS
      United Kingdom >> 674/1,000,000
      Italy >>>>>>>>>>>> 578/1,000,000
      France >>>>>>>>>> 447/1,000,000
      United States >>>> 414/1,000,000
      Canada >>>>>>>>> 238/1,000,000
      Germany >>>>>>>> 109/1,000,000
      Japan >>>>>>>>>>>> 8/1,000,000

      https://www.statista.com/statistics/1093256/novel-coronavirus-2019ncov-deaths-worldwide-by-country/ (as of July 13, 2020).

      PIECE OF THE PIE DEATH STATISTICS (which really matters).
      World Total>>>>>>>>571,660>>>>>>>>>>100.0%
      USA>>>>>>>>>>>>>>137,782>>>>>>>>>>>24.1%
      United Kingdom >>>>44,819>>>>>>>>>>>>>7.8%
      Italy >>>>>>>>>>>>>>34,954>>>>>>>>>>>>>6.1%
      France >>>>>>>>>>>>30,004>>>>>>>>>>>>>5.2%
      Germany >>>>>>>>>>>9,134>>>>>>>>>>>>>1.6%
      Canada >>>>>>>>>>>>8,783>>>>>>>>>>>>>1.5%
      Japan >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>982>>>>>>>>>>>>0.17%

      So with 4.2% (331,002,651) of the total world population (7.8 billion) and 24.1% of the total worldwide deaths , ya, sure, the US is doing just great. Get outta here. Go kick rocks.

    2. @Biden is NOT the candidate ummm we have MORE death per capita then ANY country but ONE< ONE go back to russia troll

    3. @CrazyDave C you cannot argue with a a rtumptard, they get there “facts right from rumps tweets

  3. I don’t think Arizona has any love for McSally since she lost the only race she actually participated in before being appointed to John McCain’s seat by the Arizona governor.

    1. She won the primary for Jeff seat as a moderate but did a 180 after that and lost and even being appointed to this seat she continues to be a trump supporter in a red state with a PVI score of R+5 that barely solid red because anything between D+5 and R+5 is swing

  4. Trump once again got it all wrong. Dr Fauci clearly said to flatten the curve, Trump heard fatten the perv. Just look how he’s ballooned.

    1. @Andy Trump did more for his country than Trudeau did. And Trudeau did a solid job. I’ve noticed people that dislike Trump have a hard time using common sense. Cheers

    2. @foreigner fan look, it’s very possible I might have a big blind spot. I don’t dislike Republicans and don’t put Democrats on a pedestal by any means, but I do confess to a dislike of Trump. However, as a former Political Science graduate I think the damage this guy is doing to International relations and alliances in an already tricky times is going to be extremely hard to mend. His complete ignorance, coupled with absolute lack of desire to learn would be a huge issue even if I liked the guy…. Peace.

    3. @foreigner fan Honestly, I lack sufficient first hand information to make that eval. I think Bush jr got dealt a terribly rotten hand as far as external circumstances go, but I do believe he tried his best, with a group of good professionals. He did make the mistake of choosing Rumsfeld and probably Chaney falls in that category. They have disrupted what was a decent team in his first term. And Obama followed the Bush playbook on foreign policy to the letter and then some and then he used his oratorical skills to pretend he didn’t. Smooth. Clinton, I really did not follow so I can’t say I have a half decent opinion. How about you. Any party favorites? Lol

    4. @TARS, CASE, & JuJu most international airports are in democrat cities. The disease came in from Europe and Asia. The pandemic is working it’s way inwards, through the red states now.

  5. When you fair worse than if you had done nothing at all, 38 pct still g think you’re doing an awesome job. What is wrong with Americans?

    1. @Biden is NOT the candidate Are you a Russian troll or actually trying to be serious? Just like Trump, you point at this single statistic. It’s like losing a game of soccer with 12-0 but still trying to convince people that you played a good game because you had 70% of the possession.

    2. Biden is NOT the candidate You made a brand new YouTube profile, commenting on US politics…. I see you Putin. Go back to your cave troll.

    3. @Biden is NOT the candidate – You’re a total LIAR. Here are the real facts : Covid-19 Deaths per million population: Japan 8 – Germany 109 – Canada 233 – US 420 – France 460 – Italy 579. US 9th worst in the world Meaning 204 other countries have less deaths per million than Trump’s US

    4. @Tiashe Varuhaito the good thing is that they’re probably overestimating how much is needed for herd immunity. Some people are spreaders, like cashiers, waitresses and other occupations which daily deals with people frequently. And when these people have gotten it, it’s probably close to herd immunity. I wouldn’t be surprised if the real number was closer to 20 than 66.

    1. @Ellen Peba As in 91% of republicans approve Trump, 33% of independents do and 2% OF DEMOCRATS do. 31% of Americans are Democrats, 30% are Republicans and 36% are independents. The rest doesn’t really know what party they belong to. Since America is so divided I would think twice before stating a 91% approval rate among republicans is called a ‘secured victory for Trump’. Also approving Trump and loving him isn’t quite the same.

    2. @Yvonne Were you on board with hilly clinton in 2016?? She’s been a super-dooper prez, hasn’t she!! Hahahahahahaha. Find Jesus, yvonne.

  6. Polls don’t matter. If you want to end this madness, register to vote now if you haven’t already done so. That 38% should be more than proof enough that there is still a very real possibility that complacency will all but ensure a second turn for this disaster of a human being.

    1. @Ellen Peba I doubt that’s true. Let me guess the source Fox “news”? The brain dead cultists are so pathetic, but there are a few waking up as their mothers, fathers, siblings, spouses, and friends die. It’s a bit late, but what else is new. PS are you proud of that fake stat? Note to self, you can’t argue logic with cult members….

  7. Lets get all republicans from the Senate out of their offices. Lets make our voices be heard,and lets make our unity as citizens of the usa be known so that those in power can start learning to respect us…specially those racist Republicans.

    1. @Ellen Peba
      “Democrats are American Communists.” NOTHING FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH!
      Republicans are racist Nazis. CLEAR AS CRYSTAL!

    2. You won’t be heard in November. All these destroyed democratic cities burning, and dictating governor will be voted out. Keep thinking your cute little polls mean anything though.

    3. @sirius428 “The Communist Party USA” has supported every Democrat President from FDR through to hilly’s attempted “win”. Check their website, little boy/little girl.

    4. @Ellen Peba
      “The Communist Party USA”
      The Communist Party in the USA is a Republican fantasized puff of smoke they use when they have no argument. It doesn’t exist. BUT, the obsessed Nazi wannabes do exist and are composed of the unintelligent and immensely racist faction of the Republican party. Luckily, most Republicans, the intelligent faction, don’t adhere to that and will NEVER AGAIN vote for your ORANGE SWINE GURU. They’ve seen enough of your Australopithecus clan. Bye Bye Trump, Bye Bye Ellen Peba, Bye Bye Misfit Kid and the rest of the Republican scum.
      BIDEN 2020! the one and only wholesome choice.

  8. The only time Donnie isn’t shooting himself in the foot is when he’s reloading. Hope he doesn’t run out of ammo.

    1. Some say he hit rock bottom in his early adult life and has been using dynamite ever since to blast to lower lows.

  9. Seriously, how can anyone be pleased with his doing? 38% really? I guess you will have to learn the hard way USA 😀

    1. @Imre Monzon Holland, in the early 1900’s, was Communist-Socialist. Lots of “Dutch” are still Communists and Communist-lovers.

    2. I live in Texas and their are a lot of people that think covid is fake my apologies from America we have a lot of FYL individuals

  10. It’s sad it took the trump virus hitting red states and all the death that follows to get to where we are. He’s a scourge

    1. @Jordan I literally heard a female say she would still vote for him even if he murdered someone in her family.
